Tancredo is outta here
Posted on December 21st, 2007 by ecthompson
Tom Tancredo didn’t mind showing his racist back-side in public. Other candidates kept their cards close to the vest. Not Tom. He was a one issue candidate. How he gets elected in Colorado is mystery to me since he has no charisma and he wanders through his speeches without making a point. Anyway, he has dropped out of the presidential race.
Looking back I blogged about him in January when he said that we should eliminate the Congressional Black and Hispanic caucuses because they weren’t needed any more.
Here are a few of the GREAT highlights that I have found:
- Argues for mass deportation of 13 million
- Calls for the US to bomb Muslim holy sites including Mecca and Medina.
- Supported waterboarding in one debate stating, “every method [interrogators] could think of and I would support them in doing it.” Then as if he was talking about a real person he added, “I’m looking for Jack Bauer.”
- Called Miami a 3rd World country
- Let’s not forget his really over the top ad complete with explosion sound effects (see video below)
TCR has a nice summary of Tancredo’s resignation and what it means. Just in case you cared he endorsed Romney.
