Tancredo Dropping Out

Republican presidential candidate Tom Tancredo plans to drop out of the race during an announcement Thursday afternoon in Des Moines, Iowa, GOP sources close to the campaign have told FOX News.


Tancredo, who has aggressively pushed his anti-illegal immigration message throughout the GOP primary race, has not been able to break through in the polls against his better known competitors. He and California Rep. Duncan Hunter typically poll in the single digits behind Texas Rep. Ron Paul in national surveys.

DO YOU THINK TANCREDO HAS MADE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY RACE? ARE YOU UPSET THAT HE IS DROPPING OUT?

He is an American hero? He cares about this country and what it will become. This country is greater than a place where in the future , it will become no different than the middle east, if our borders are left open.Eventually ,the terrorist are going to get smart and realize that walking into the United states will be much easier then flying there. Tom tried to warn you......

Tancredo was an embarrassment. Remember that line about how immigrants should sever all ties with their past when they move to America?

Adios Bozo!

He is an embarrassment to all Republicans.
Does this mean Tom can go back to hiring illegal immigrants to work on his house and then claim ignorance? Or does this mean that pro life really is okay to claim and still let children die because they have no health insurance? This district will certainly be better off as well the world without Tom.

Tom accomplished what he set out to do. If anyone can remember past what the New York Times tells you to remember, his original statements were to make illegal immigration a center point of the process. Now with all candidates forced to address the issue, he has reached his goal.
... and for that Mr. Tancredo, I salute.

Did anyone else notice Leland Vittert refer to Tancredo as "Tranquedo" on the 9 pm news? Funny stuff!!!

Oh man. My first response to this was... laughter. Oh yes.

He is certainly not qualified to run our country. Good riddance.

I don't believe there is a list of qualifications to run the greatest country on Earth. It is a position that is constantly changing.

If he had stood a chance, he definitely would have had my vote.

The ones who are an embarassment to all Republicans (and all Americans) are the ones who are allowing our country be invaded by illegals.

Exactly when did he say that immigrants should severe all ties? I can't seem to find that transcript.

Here's the kinda stuff that makes Rep Tancredo a patriot:

Tom Tancredo

"We strain to tell Americans and aliens in this country that there's nothing unique about America, nothing unique about American civilization, nothing that requires their allegiance, nothing of great value that they should sacrifice for. "
-from brainyquote.com

And that's why we have a country full of careless fools.

From the GOP Debate on June 5th


VAUGHN: What is your question tonight? QUESTION: With regards to illegal and legal immigration, in your opinion, what does it mean to be an American? What are the tangible and intangible attributes of an American?

VAUGHN: Congressman Tancredo?

TANCREDO: It means, number one, cut from the past. If you come here as an immigrant, great, welcome. If you come here legally, welcome. It means you've cut your ties with the past, familial, especially political ties with the country from which you came.
