Ex-Rep. Tom Tancredo Suggests 'Civics, Literacy Test' Would Have Foiled Obama's Election; High-Priced National 'Tea Party' Convention Stirs Debate Among Factions.
BY STEVEN PORTNOY & JOHN BERMAN
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 4, 2010.
The opening-night speaker at first ever National Tea Party Convention ripped into President Obama, Sen. John McCain and "the cult of multiculturalism," asserting that Obama was elected because "we do not have a civics, literacy test before people can vote in this country."
The speaker, former Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., told about 600 delegates in a Nashville, Tenn., ballroom that in the 2008 election, America "put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House ... Barack Hussein Obama."
Tancredo did not stop at the Democratic president -- ripping McCain, R-Ariz., the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, for shaping up to be a repeat of "Bush 1 and Bush 2."
"Thank God John McCain lost the election," he said, voicing his belief that McCain would have presided over big budgets and lacked a tough stand against immigration.
Tancredo served 10 years in the House of Representatives and made a name for himself with his ardent opposition to immigration. He believes the 2008 election served to galvanize the right.
"This is our country," he told the crowd. "Let's take it back."

I’m waiting for the dems to accuse Tancredo of wanting to reinstitute Jim Crow.
Perhaps the term Marxists or Stalinist is a better description than Bolshevik.
You’re responding to a conservative showing the kind of rare leadership that no others have had the courage for but that all of us know is the only way to save our country from communist death.
And your response is to try to convince others not to support this conservative?
Maybe you can manage to contradict yourself, like when you said Palin, as a woman, was biblically destined for leadership and a year later saying we shouldn’t support her, as a woman, on biblical grounds.
You said this:
“GOD chose Governor Palin for the VP slot. McCain was just the vessel that He used.”

“We need to pray that God uses Sarah Palin as a modern day Deborah to bring our nation to repentance.” -politicket

“Too bad that Governor Palin is not at the top of the ticket...” -politicket

“Sarah Palin is a present day Debra. The men of this country are doing what is right in their own eyes and God has appointed a woman to lead them.” -politicket

Then this:
“The Bible is very clear about the roles of leadership. It has been my point all along that Sarah Palin should only run for political office if there is no righteous Christian man left in this country. This has nothing to do with Sarah Palin. I admire many of her political positions. It’s simply a challenge to Christian men that we need to stop having Christian women fight the battles for us.”

At this point I doubt your general sincerity on this website.
We need to vigorously support people like Tancredo when they make public statements like this.
Tom Tacredo supported McCain in 2008 General election
Yikes!
That’s going to leave a mark!
Good to see Tancredo back in action....
And he is so right about McCain. There is little difference in Obama and McCain....only an idiot or Michael Steele’s butler thinks that McCain was the opposite of Obama on the issues.
Tancredo was the one I supported for the GOP nomination in 2008. Too bad the GOP media (Fox News, talk radio) immediately tried to marginalize him after he announced his campaign (hich should tell everyone that FNC and most of talk radio is not really conservative...they did the same to Duncan Hunter, too)
Removing McCain from the US Senate would be the #1 Conservative success in 2010
For for ripping McCain, another collaborated effort to put the pressure on Sarah.
Of course, she'll come through with flying colors.

There’s certainly no doubt that the tea parties are a direct result of Obama’s election. A McCain election would have been 4 to 8 more years of continuing to skid leftward and there would be no hope on the horizon.
Delegates? Who do they represent?
EYES OPEN PARENTS....MULTICULTURALISM AND DIVERSITY TO REPLACE US HISTORY!!! GLOBILIZATION OF OUR CHILDREN.
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!
“Actually the SBA (Small Business Administration) does have a direct loan program to loan taxpayer dollars to private business owners.”
With the worst possible terms available.
“EYES OPEN PARENTS....MULTICULTURALISM AND DIVERSITY TO REPLACE US HISTORY!!!”
Yet, we stand for it.
Tancredo is a draft dodger.
