People need to see this. Wish this was a sticky, would like every FC member to view this.:claps:

[DoctorDoom]

Now it is, for a while at least.

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

Now it is, for a while at least.

Thanks Doc, I didn't want to make the decision unilaterally, but I DO think an informed voter should at least see what ALL the candidates are saying, :smirky:

[MrSanity]

"Lifestyle Nazis" - wow, that is harsh...

I wonder if Keith Ellison is going to hear this slam.

"When conservatives run on principle, we win. When conservatives run from principle, we lose." - Tom Tancredo

[Phil Osophical]

Yep! Great speech -- inspirational, positive, motivating, encouraging!

No one could possibly be any more for Tom Tancredo than I.

But we all know Tom will not be the Republican nominee. He might be another party's nominee, but again we all know that any of those "other" political parties, no matter how well we might like them, aren't going to get enough traction to become viable and serious contenders.

Therefore, we really don't have much choice. We all need to unite and vote Republican. It's the far lesser of the evils even though some of it is infested with commie pinkos. It's still far more conservative than the Democratic Party. So don't go emotional by voting for a more conservative third party just to teach the Republican Party a lesson. Hold your nose and vote Republican.

And let's hope that Barack O'Bomber will be the Democratic nominee. If he is, and it's looking more and more likely, Republicans might be able to defeat him. A lot of white Democrats will stay home on election day rather than vote for O'Bomber.

[MrSanity]

I've never seen him give an actual speech before, but he really speaks my gut. Good for him.

"Conservatism doesn't need an adjective. It needs a leader."
- Tom Tancredo

Hear, hear!

He's got lots of great lines in there.

Tancredo demos stump speech

Washington -- The next president must possess core conservative principles or risk losing the election and much of what America stands for, Rep. Tom Tancredo told a cheering crowd today at a conservative convention.

The Littleton Republican who is considering a presidential run presented his political vision in a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference.

In a packed and cheering ballroom, Tancredo said it's imperative to crack down on illegal immigration and reject "the cult of multi-culturalism" that he says is destroying American values. Tancredo also declared the need to return to traditional conservative ideals, including opposition to legalized abortion.

"With the world at war, and the very survival of Western Civilization at risk, with the Supreme Court potentially one death or retirement away from reversing Roe Vs. Wade," Tancredo said, referencing the case that legalized abortion, "real conservatives cannot afford to sit this one out."

Tancredo was one of several potential and declared presidential candidates appearing at the conference, an annual Washington D.C. gathering of the right wing of the Republican Party. In presidential election season, it serves as an audition for candidates wanting to capture conservative activists and impress the national media with their ability to draw crowds.

Tancredo has formed a presidential exploratory committee, saying he sees the need for a true conservative in the race. He touted his conservative credentials and used three Biblical references during his speech. ...

....Tancredo alternately spoke about his potential to win the presidency, saying he knows it's David vs. Goliath, but that "David won." But he also seemed to concede he won't advance when he said he wants "a candidate in this presidential election that I can vote for."

"I'm so tired of voting because the person is the lesser of two evils," Tancredo said. "I want to be able to vote for somebody &I believe is leading a crusade, somebody who I actually want to participate in that crusade because they inspire me to do so. ...

...."I'm all for celebrating diversity," Tancredo told the crowd. "When you make a state religion out of it, that's when you have a problem."

He said that the country needs a leader who knows we need a strong national defense "because our enemies are psychopaths and our allies are the French." ....http://origin.denverpost.com/lacrosse/ci_5342879

"The conservative leadership is not supposed to choose a candidate. It's supposed to produce one."

[Lazarus]

I love this guy... He may not be the nominee this time around, but he could end up on the ticket with someone else... And that kind of exposure could lead to his own nomination in the future...

[Kathy30]

I love him, if he is to have a chance, he needs money. I'm sending him what I can.

[DesertFox]

Impressive. Very impressive.

I'll vote Republican when the Republicans distinguish them selves from liberalism. Until then the Republicans are no more a choice than Ted Kennedy vs Nancy Pelosi.

[omegatrump]

I will vote for Tancredo, regardless of what the non Conservative Republican leadership does.

[CONSERVATIVE HERO]

Funny, that's the first thing I said when I saw illegitimate superdad too. What happened to the American way?

[dPrasse]

He'd make a great VP or National Security Advisor under President Fred Thompson :D
