I don’t recall Tancredo making any racist comments, and if there were any inaccuracies in what I considered to be a great speech I encourage you to point them out. Nor can you associate him with Ann Coulter’s comments? How he has any connection to what she said is still a mystery to me, and it would be the equivalent of attacking Barack Obama for his lack of morality because of President Clinton’s sex scandals. Doesn’t make much sense, does it?

Lastly, there will always be a group of supporters for ANY CANDIDATE AT ALL who may not represent or embody accurately the ideals of that candidate. A group of young, perhaps misguided individuals cannot be tied to Tancredo himself.

Tancredo delivered an excellent, accurate speech and emphasized his conservative credentials. It is unfortunate more conservatives don’t rally around him, Duncan Hunter, and/or Ron Paul instead of the newly found conservatives that comprise the ‘top-tier’. He was only one of 25 Republicans who stood up and refused to vote in favor of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act, and one of the handful of Republicans who opposed No Child Left Behind. He is a strong supporter of the individual and I hope that you will not continue to slander his candidacy even if you don’t decide to support it.

God Bless, take care.
