Who is Tom Tancredo and why is he saying nasty things about me? Seriously. I didn’t even know who the guy was until someone at my birthday party asked me what I thought of Tom Tancredo’s remarks. I had to ask. I hate it when that happens.
From what I’ve learned since, the guy is a Bible thumper running for president. Who knew? So, I asked around and I found out he’s from Colorado and works in government someplace. He’s running for president using the Ron Paul gimmick. Complain about everything. Tancredo’s presidential campaign is such a success that he plans to retire from the House next year. It won’t be because he’s got a job in the White House, that’s for sure.
Here’s the skinny. Conservatives want an immigration bill which would make it a federal crime to offer aid to undocumented immigrants. I’m all for immigration reform, but not at the expense of locking people up, so I criticized the legislation with a wonderfully political statement in the form of a sound bite:
Good, huh? Anything that smacks of Republicans criminalizing Jesus is good for Hillary.
Anyway, Tancredo came out of the woodwork and started telling people that I don’t know the first thing about the Bible, and I didn’t know the first thing about the law, and blah blah blah. I mention one time that ‘I don’t bake cookies’ and it shows up printed on t-shirts. This guy says he’d lock up Jesus for giving an immigrant a band aid or a coupon for free fries at McDonald’s, and I find out about it a year later a party.
Later that night I cornered Patti Doyle and asked her about Tancredo. She said I should watch the next Republican presidential debate. Tancredo won’t be Mitt Romney but he’ll have hair, too. That makes him easy to spot in the Republican crowd.
One more thing. Republicans have debates?
