I think Tom is on his way out as a candidate. He’s accomplished what he set out to do and he wouldn’t do himself any favors by attending. However saying the others are pandering is just plain foolish. Duncan Hunter regularly enters the lions den and speaks his mind without pandering.
Anyone who gives credence to the notion that Spanish is a legitimate language of politics or anything else for that matter in this country is pandering.
There is no reason why that language, that culture, that hideous failure should propagate into the life of the most successful country and nation the world has ever seen.
Duncan should know better. And stay away.
Tancredo attended a PBS sponsored debate aimed at a primarily liberal constituency. This was a debate that Giuliani, Romney, and McCain deigned was beneath their dignity to attend.
And Tancredo spoke out clearly even though most of what he had to say didn't want to be heard by the audience.
Tancredo is not afraid of "a lion's den". He is clearly making a statement in favor of One Nation, One Language.
“However saying the others are pandering is just plain foolish.”
We speak English in this country. They’re pandering.
He'll be pandering at this debate. If as you say he regularly attends lion dens then he should enter a real big one and not go.
