Tancredo wins one: No-show is victor at debate

NH Union Leader

ALL BUT ONE Republican candidate for President participated in a debate in Miami on Sunday. Unfortunately for the vast majority of Americans, the debate was entirely incomprehensible -- because it was entirely in Spanish.

Univision, which sponsored and broadcast the debate, did not air the questions or the candidates' answers in English. So the candidates were left addressing only people fluent in Spanish.

The one candidate who did not show up, Rep. Tom Tancredo of Colorado, had the right idea. He boycotted the Spanish-only debate, saying that naturalized citizens must by law speak English. So, to whom were the candidates speaking Sunday night? It would seem that there is one answer: illegal immigrants.

Tom is a total statesman with class, the GOP looked liked a pathetic group of pandering politicians saying, "Oh, please Mr. Latino, will you please vote for me."

Good for the NH Union Leader. This is the kind of write up we like to read. They seem to know what candidate really means what he says. Thanky you Tom Tancredo for boycotting this debate.

Thank you for your stand on illegal immigration and becoming a bilingual country!

Tom, have you considered running as an independent? I became a fan of yours a couple years ago when you were on 'The Factor' talking about illegal immigration. At that point I contacted you and said if you were to run for President you would have my vote... that commitment is still good. The GOP however has lost my confidence, so I dumped them! I will vote for you as an 'unaffiliated' NJ voter.

The GOP has become an extension of the Democrat Party and not acting in the best interest of the country. Mexican Presidents talking of replacing the dollar with the NAU 'Amero'. Mexico requesting and getting prosecution of BP Agents, then railroading them with the help of the government!

Please consider running as an Independent and encouraging your supporters to make the switch. By dropping my GOP affiliation and encouraging others to do the same I am hoping they will get the message that the voters are upset with them.

Good luck and God bless you! I will be waiting anxiously to see your rise in the polls.
