Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., has reluctantly come to the conclusion that he will have to vote for Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., whose immigration reform bill Tancredo blasted as amnesty.
"Sometimes I say to myself, 'Can I really do this?'" Tancredo said of voting for McCain, according to the Rocky Mountain News. "And then you listen to Obama or Hillary and say, 'Yeah, I have to.'"
At a debate last October Tancredo sounded less sure of such an idea.
"You know, I've said I don't know how many times, that I am absolutely tired and sick and tired of being forced to go to the polls and say I'm going to make this choice between the lesser of two evils. I really don't intend to do that again. I am hoping, of course, that whoever we nominate will be the principled flag carrier for the Republican Party. But if that is not the case, no, then I will not support them."
Tancredo told the News he couldn't vote for Libertarian presidential candidate Bob Barr, who has similar views as he does on immigration, because Barr has "a blind spot on radical Islam."
yeah, I know.
I will not vote for John McCain
I hear you. I don't disagree.
But how about voting against Obama?
Tanc and I are on the same page on this one.
Obama will be a disaster in so many ways.
I love these McCain testimonials.
I wholeheartedly agree with Tancredo about immigration. He, at least, knows and admits the expenses throughout his district with illegals is breaking down America daily as well as costing everyone for the benefit of a few.
IS THIS WHAT YOU REALLY WANT????
You are leaving CONgre$$, why not just remain silent and vote anyway you want in the privacy of the voting booth?
Popularity is fleeting…Principles are forever.
I’ll (probably) vote for him, but it will take copious amounts of alcohol.
(BTW: I’m still hoping that someone can tell me whether or not voting while intoxicated is a crime in California.)
Obama is a proto-Muslim, Marxist, inexperienced, Daley machine, terrorist-friendly, anti-American, black separatist, elitist appeaser! IS THAT WHAT YOU REALLY WANT?!!
Not me! I hate McCain
I’ll vote for Obama first!
Campaign "bribes" exceed a billion dollars, and the average person is a non player in such high stakes. The global financial syndicates control who you get to vote for, and they don't give a rat's ass what you want. Don't look for any change. Like in "The Planet of the Apes," not human entities control everything.
lol. Who will support the military?
No, McCain is not getting my vote and no Democrat ever will. Going independent this time.
I know the feeling well!
Sorry Tancredo NO voting for the traitor Juan McPain.No homeland security with the illegal aliens who are murderers, rapists and criminals, Benedict Arnold McPain.
Period.
MI is so messed up that I feel no compulsion to pull the lever for an idiot like mclame. Like it would matter anyway.
