He was still in the race?
December 20th, 2007 at 3:34 pmhe doesn’t deserve the nomination… his was a xenophobia-based platform…
December 20th, 2007 at 3:34 pmI wonder who’s going to pick up the white supremacist vote now…
December 20th, 2007 at 3:35 pmTank will go down as the candidate whose campaign never went down. It started at 0, floundered, went out at 0.
December 20th, 2007 at 3:36 pmAhhh that’s too bad, Tommy. What a good sport, ladies and gentlemen! Big round of applause, everyone! Thanks for playing. And for your effort, you’ll be receiving a lifetime supply of Rice-a-Roni, the San Francisco Treat.
December 20th, 2007 at 3:41 pmHe was never a serious contender - always wondered why he entered the race at all.
December 20th, 2007 at 3:44 pmThomas the TankBigot can now retire to teaching at Regent, the onlycourse he’s qualified to teach, FearMongering and BrownPeople 101.
December 20th, 2007 at 3:44 pmSure sounds like a spiritual man to me.
Ha…..What a pathetic loser.

December 20th, 2007 at 3:51 pmGood.
He’s a poor debater and a one issue populist who never stood a chance.
December 20th, 2007 at 3:51 pmI think half of these critter-types just run so they can raise a bunch of money from suckers and then drop out with a nice war chest which they can then leverage to get certain favors in Congress. How much cash did he have left?

Ron Paul of course. Heck, he’s already got it.
December 20th, 2007 at 3:53 pmIs “Tancredo” really an “American” name? Or did he sneak over the border?
December 20th, 2007 at 3:54 pmTancrazy drops from the race. Thank god! Another one bites to dust. I look for Grampa Fred to be next on the list.
December 20th, 2007 at 4:02 pmI’m still trying to wrap my mind around all these people pouring across our borders for the express purpose of raping children.
Is it easier to rape children here than where they came from? And this is why they come here?
Tom Tancredo’s ravings are disturbing on several levels.
December 20th, 2007 at 4:14 pmI look for Grampa Fred to be next on the list.

Yeah!! The nerve of them filthy immigrants! Pushing drugs, raping kinds and destroying lives!! That’s the job of us Republicans!! How dare them dirty rotten immigrants try to take our jobs away from us!
December 20th, 2007 at 4:20 pmTancredo: As the credo goes, don’t let the door hit you in the a$$ on your way out!
December 20th, 2007 at 4:24 pmYou can only keep a running gag going for so long …
December 20th, 2007 at 4:27 pmGood.

Correction: there are zero qualified Republican candidates. Zero. McCain is almost qualified, but his age and obvious mental deterioration will probably win him the primary. then, he’ll be crushed. And America can start on the long road back to freedom and sanity.
December 20th, 2007 at 4:54 pmIf Tancredo was the only candidate catering to the racists on the right he would have probably had a more successful campaign.
December 20th, 2007 at 5:03 pm“pushing drugs, raping kids, and destroying lives.†was he talking about the BLACKWATER MERCENARIES here?

December 20th, 2007 at 5:39 pmAdios, Senor Tancredo. Buena suerte y vaya con dios.
December 20th, 2007 at 9:20 pmSad, such a nice guy, too.
December 21st, 2007 at 12:32 amTancredos pathetic try at being president will be remembered for his outrageous racist and xenophobic ads and vicious use of the racial slurs he made popular in 2007 “illegals” and “aliens”.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
