Tom Tancredo's Feb. 4 Tea party speech in Nashville

Rocky Mountain Foundation ^ | February 5, 2009 | Tom Tancredo

[rmlew]

This is Tancredo's written speech, not necessarily the one he actually gave. I hope Tancredo becomes the next governor of Colorado, so he becomes a credible presidential candidate.

is this the speech all the lib are saying Tancredo is calling to reinstate Jim Crow laws?

[Las Vegas Ron]

And then, because we don’t have a civics literacy test to vote, people who couldn’t even spell vote, or say it in English, put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House named Barack Hussein Obama.

I love Tancredo but that was a stupid thing to say.....even though it's true.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Even FOX news is taking a dim view of his remarks on zero's voters.

Dumb thing to say.

[pissant]

It was a great speech. ANd Tancredo doesn’t worry one bit about political correctness

[Fzob]

I agree it was a dumb thing to say.

[rmlew]

We have civics tests for citizenship. The whole point of public education was to instill these values. Of course the left hijacked the system. And thansk to Social Marxism speaking the truth is now impolitic, and in the future criminal.

[Las Vegas Ron]

I understand that and that's one of the reasons I like him but the libs twist our words as is.

This gives them a direct hit IMO, why give them the ammo?

[pissant]

Let them twist. America is fed up with politically correct capons.

they MUST do and say everything and anything they can to discredit and vilify the tea party coalescence because they KNOW it is genuine and the real thing......the sleeping giant has finally been awakened and they FEAR it more than anything......they KNOW it must be stopped before it stops THEM! Talk radio and cable news the internet and interviews in the halls of the Capitol next week are going to be wild!

[Hattie]

I agree it was a dumb thing to say.

So do I.

The messages should be positive, stating what we want to do for the country not this kind of democratlike garbage.

[Las Vegas Ron]

I agree with what he said be he sure gave some live ammo for the other side to use, especially the "that can't speak English" part.

I personally think if you don't pay taxes and can't pass a more than basic civics test you shouldn't be able to vote but know that any politician, one who wants to win anyway, would ever dare say that.

Wrong as it may be, that's just the reality.

[Las Vegas Ron]

That's my point though, they won't have to twist this statement, it speaks for it's self.

They'll use this to smear all Tea Party people as racist.

I know it's BS but as the libs have succeeded in getting this Country to the brink of communism one step at a time, we're going to have to reverse course in the same fashion.

His statement will turn off the people we're trying to get on our side who may think we are nothing but racists, it just doesn't help

Tancredo BUMP.

Part of our problem is that our leaders have been unwilling to talk straight, while the left imposes PC guidelines.

I want someone who unapologetically states that Muzzies are out to kill westerners and that illegals are here illegally and need to go home. It’s way too late in the game to talk in code-speak.

Of course, I don’t expect the State Run Media to support those statements.

[rmlew]

Tancredo does not support a literacy test

“I don’t want anybody to be refused the right to vote if, maybe, they have to mark [the ballot] with an X,” said Tancredo in a short interview with John Avlon of the Daily Beast. “I do think they should have to know something about how the government works.” He suggested using the citizenship test that immigrants take — maybe, he said, voters could take it “verbally."

[SoCalPol]

Tancredo went over to the dark side joining up with third party Baldwin who is anti war and a 9/11 Truther.

His NeoLeft views don’t belong in a conservative forum

[rmlew]

And which of whis policies are neoleft. Do explain.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Baldwin is a truther?

I never read that before.

[Cobra64]

This is Tancredo's written speech...

Where is the written speech?
