Tancredo drops White House bid.

Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO) “abandoned his long-shot bid for the Republican presidential nomination Thursday afternoon.” One of the congressman’s most recent presidential ads claimed that immigrants coming into the United States are “pushing drugs, raping kids, and destroying lives.”

    he doesn’t deserve the nomination… his was a xenophobia-based platform…

    I wonder who’s going to pick up the white supremacist vote now…


  3. RUCerious says:

    Tank will go down as the candidate whose campaign never went down. It started at 0, floundered, went out at 0.

    Ahhh 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.


  5. Marie says:

    He was never a serious contender – always wondered why he entered the race at all.


  6. RUCerious says:

    Thomas the TankBigot can now retire to teaching at Regent, the onlycourse he’s qualified to teach, FearMongering and BrownPeople 101.

    Sure sounds like a spiritual man to me.

    Ha…..What a pathetic loser.

    Good.

    He’s a poor debater and a one issue populist who never stood a chance.


  9. Menehune says:

    I 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.


  11. Yankeluh says:

    Is “Tancredo” really an “American” name? Or did he sneak over the border?


  12. SP Biloxi says:

    Tancrazy drops from the race. Thank god! Another one bites to dust. I look for Grampa Fred to be next on the list.


  13. missmolly says:

    I’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.

    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!

    Tancredo: As the credo goes, don’t let the door hit you in the a$$ on your way out!

    You can only keep a running gag going for so long …

    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.


  20. Dreary Urbanite says:

    If Tancredo was the only candidate catering to the racists on the right he would have probably had a more successful campaign.


  21. Buckie Boy says:

    “pushing drugs, raping kids, and destroying lives.” was he talking about the BLACKWATER MERCENARIES here?

    Bush/Cheney
    Hague Trials ‘09

    Na Na Na Na, Hey Hey Hey, Goodbye!! — (and good riddance)


  23. Wayne A. Schneider says:

    Adios, Senor Tancredo. Buena suerte y vaya con dios.


  24. Sabyen91 says:

    Sad, such a nice guy, too.


  25. ctalk says:

    Tancredos 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.

    One Fascist down… about a dozen more to go.
