You would never, ever become president of this great country Tancredo, a bigot like yourself does not deserve to hold public office, I hope you do not get reelected to congress. Your buddy Romney is going to loose too. Mike Huckabee all the way!

—————————————
I find it interesting that you would call Tancredo a bigot and then endorse Huckabee!?! Bizarre! Let me see if I understand this. Tancredo is a bigot because of his position on illegal immigration? Is that right? “ILLEGAL” immigration, emphasis on Illegal! How does bigotry apply to the problem of MILLIONS of people stealing a country and its resources to serve their own selfish needs?

Are you kidding me? Mike Huckabee is probably second only to Hitler in his bigotry! Huckabee is the one who wanted to round up people with aids to hide them away in a "Safe place" while Hollywood found a cure.

Huckabee is the one who was the key note speaker at a rally whose main purpose was to slander, and spread hate and intolerance towards a church with millions of members in the United States. How bigoted is that? I can see it all now. Huckabee at the microphone spewing saliva as he preached his “Fire and brimstone” type sermon against millions of people that he now wants to serve as their president. What a worm.

A BIGOT is a prejudiced person who is intolerant of opinions, lifestyles, or identities differing from his or her own.

Is it Possible Juan that your friends or family are illegal? Therefore you are not voting on what is best for the country, but what is best for you and your buddies? Everyone knows about Huckabee’s fight to give the children of illegals special tuition rates and scholarships, while he burdens the American people with the taxes needed to do it!

Perhaps you only consider a person a bigot who doesn’t serve your needs and opinions, and you disregard the rest. Therefore you are a bigot yourself!

And here’s a bonus for you…
Huckabee is the one who worked to cover up his son's animal torture by interfering with the police investigation. Now he conveniently excuses his son’s behavior with the explanation, “it looked like it was going to attack” and “so they put it down”. No Mike they did not put it down. They hung it from a tree, beat it, and slit its throat!” There is a HUUUUGE difference. But why tell the truth when there are plenty of fools who are willing to believe your lies? After all you profess to be a Christian and DANG that’s good enough for me!

You know my parents taught me a valuable lesson and that is when someone resorts to name calling, ie calling Tancredo a racist or xenophobe, it is because they do not have a sound argument to offer. If you think the high cost of healthcare, increase in property taxes, steady increase of violent crimes in border states, and poor public schools doesn't have anything to do with illegal immigration, then you my friend are misinformed and not educated. Do some research. Come up with an argument that does not include name calling to support the idea of illegal immigration. Come up with an argument telling us why it is a good idea to continue providing free education and free healthcare to people who for the most part do not pay taxes. Come up with a good argument why banks and morgage lenders offer loans to those without any documentation but then insist American citizens have at least 6 points of identification. Come up with a good argument why tax payers should have to continue to pay for the housing and care of illegal immigrants in the jail system. It is a pity that Americans cannot see what the high cost of illegal immigration is having on this country and those who do have the nerve to stand up and say what many of us are thinking but are to PC to say are labeled racist or other horrible names.

Tancredo drops out and endorses Romney with his one percent following! But Iowa Rep. Steve King has endorsed Thompson. Iowa Rep. Steve King who was backing Tancredo does not even follow his endorsement. Romney must be in dire shape to need the Tancredo endorsement. God save the GOP nomination.

Go Hillary44 08! http://hillaryis44.org/

Let's start a write-in campaign for good ol Tomas Tan Increible

What does Tancredo's bowing out at this stage say about the IMMIGRATION issue. Are there no takers? Bill Richardson is in double digits then why was Tancredo within 1 percent. Guess the Hispanic vote is keeping Richardson alive for the Veep position?

Now he has more spare time to hate brown people!

This breaking story is now at the top of the WHO CARES list.

I'm glad to see that his message did not "resonate."

I'm all for securing the border. However, I just have to wonder about who will fill the 12 million jobs the illegals currently hold if they're all thrown out of their current jobs. There aren't that many unemployed eligible Americans in the country.

Who?

PLEASE STOP ALL "TRASH TALK" AND JUST TELL US YOUR PLATFORMS AND PLANS

Phew…now I don't have to move to Canada.

This guy sucked in so many difference ways. Buh bye.

Goodbye Tankedcrazo!

I like the idea of enforcing the immigration laws with the same enthusiasm that the law is enforced upon myself and other Americans. If we could only take all the candidates and hand pick their positions on issues,, we might just wind up with a country. Maybe we could call it the United States of America.

Tough luck Tancredo,, but you should know what the rest of us already know,,,it takes a lot of money to buy the most powerful post in the world.

But who is going to protect us fro the terrorists and illegals?

[[Good Riddance, Mr. Xenophobe!

Here here; ditto!

who really thought that this idiot was going to get nominated, get real that 1% is his family members

Yawn.

Now he can go and focus on losing a Senate seat when Allard retires.

Now, can Hunter and Keyes follow suit?

Maybe Ron Paul will be next…

I'm sure his supporters are devestated. All five of them.

You mean he was STILL in the race? I was sure he dropped off the face of the earth a while back.

Wynter

As someone from his home state I wish he would stay in the race just to keep him out of Colorado a little longer. He is an embarrassment

Goodbye Tom. "don't let the door hit ya where the god lord split ya".

I thought with the departure of that xenophobe, the [R] primary might have a better 'odor' to it. But, geez, everytime I see a story on the [R]s, I'm still getting a wiff of……ASS!!!.

One less whacko!

Like this mean-spirited far-right crazy ever had a chance…

Tancredo's hilarious xenophobic rants will be sorely missed.

Good riddance, this guy is stuck in the 60's. Hope he has time to study the globe and discover how the world has become a small mommunity. Different but necessary.

Tom made an important contribution as a fierce proponent for immigration reform. His persistence has helped bring the critical problem to the nation's attention.

Thanks for your efforts, Tom. Best wishes to you and your family.

He was really hoping for Chuck Norris' endorsement but when it went to Huckleberry, the handwriting was on the wall…

At least Tancredo forced candidates to discuss the problem of ILLEGAL immigration and had a plan to deal with it.

Unlike the whimpy liberals that want to compromise the security of the United States so they can pander to illegal aliens.

Well, I am not feeling the name President Tancredo anyways. It's quite a syllabic leap from President Bush.

This has got to be the most intelligent thing he's done all year.

He was still in the race?

That is ashame. We need someone like Tancredo to get control of this country - especially the largest threat we face which is the invasion by the illegal invaders from the south.

For all the people who talk negatively about Tom Tancredo, you should not talk until you are educated on him. He is not a racist. He is the one candidate who spoke the truth from his heart without ever flip flopping and all he truly cares about is the best for the AMERICAN PEOPLE. That is it. Yeah, he doesn't like illegal immigration but that is because ilegal immigration is ruining this country. Hopefully, the American people will realize this before it is too late. Tom has already won in my eyes by bringing the illegal immigration debate to the #1 issue in this presidential election. God Bless Tom Tancredo and America!

When is Hillary dropping out? just asking…..

Bye trac, you always put me off. you don't seem real!

Why drop out now? He might as well wait till after Iowa. Unless he just can't afford to get his people to the caucuses.

Posted By Dave, Atlanta, GA : December 20, 2007 1:00 pm

Fron the sound of things, he could DRIVE his people to the caucuses in his SUV with room to spare.

Thanks God this guys not running anymore. One down more to go…

Seam, Of course you didn't know he was running. Media doesn't cover the low tier candidates. While I dont agree with him on nearly everything. He deserves a fair chance. You probably don't know that Alan Keyes, Duncan Hunter, Bill Richardson, Joe Biden, Chris Dodd, Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel were running right??

Another one bites the dust! one less right wing nut job to worry about. Now I wait for the rest of the republican tribe to destroy Huckabee (which they will) Mitt's not about to lose all his money to some too bit preacher from tennessee…. Love to watch them roast each other. I think this is going to end up a Mitt and Hillary match. Which I think will go to Hillary, christians are not going to vote for a mormon.

How refreshing. A candidate who read the handwriting on the wall, recognizing he had no chance, did the honorable thing.
As much as I like where Kucinich stands on the issues, I think it's time for him to do the same. Give his support to someone else.
Then, after Iowa, whoever doesn't place in the top 4 should do the same. That should leave us with Clinton, Obama, Edwards and ? - unless Jan. 3 brings us a big surprise.
I say top 4 because I think there's room, at least for a while, for another candidate.
I would say the same for the Republicans. Whoever doesn't place in the top 4 in Iowa should drop out.

Good riddance! Who is going to drop out next? I recon Duncan Hunter is next! What are you waiting for?

I don't think this is going to have much effect on the race, a whole 1%, 2% tops! But when Hunter leaves, that leaves another 2-3%. How is that whopping 3-4% of the vote going to be split? The "secure-our-borders, stop illegal immigrants" votes will go to Ron Paul, seeing as he is the only Republican candidate opposing amnesty for illegal immigrants, while the warhawk/chickenhawk votes are split between McCain and Mayor 9-11. Too bad it will probably only be 3% once BOTH those nuts are gone.

At least the stage will be a little less crowded.

He should have waited until after the Iowa caucus, unless it's because he thinks he can have a better impact on endorsing someone else before he goes.

One racist down, a few million more to go……

If a Tancredo falls in the primary race and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

But, but, he had such a shot! He just needs to give the ole college try…I'm sure his xenophobia will catch fire…because illegal immigration is SUCH an important issue to the American people…

…right?

Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Tom!

This guy is definitely a xenophobe and it's great news that he's out of the way. It is very scary though that a bigot like this can reach great heights politically in the US presently. It shows that we're still not as sophisticated as we believe we are.

So much for all those matching tax dollars.. I wonder when are other 8 wannabees are going to give up spending our money to promote themselves??

Was he ever in???

how in the world is an immigrant running for president?….send him back to where he comes from…Italy

I thought this buffoon had already dropped out. *yawn*

Ain't this the dude who wanted to bomb Mecca or somethin? Either way, I really don't care that he's dropping out and I'm still waiting for Gravel to drop out.

The guy who said we should bomb Mecca. I'm gonna miss him.

Tancredo who?

Many people didn't even know who he was…because he's hard to recognise without his white hood.

So Mr. Xenophobe's dropping out…good riddance. Now if only Duncan Hunter will follow him out the door!

I wonder what's next for Tancredo. Maybe he can be a substitute host or consultant for "Lou Dobbs Tonight".

Good! He's a racist!!

S-M-I-L-E

Scariest Man in Life Exits.

What a shame! We're all going to miss his bigotry and intolerance - not to mention, his campaign ads which took a page out of the Nazi playbook.

Good riddance!

Earlier this week, Iowa Rep. Steve King, a friend of Tancredo's who shares his tough stance on immigration, announced he was backing former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson instead. et tu, brute?

Yes, but then the question is now who will Tom endorse? Maybe Rudy or John?

I was afraid I'd see this. I really liked Tancredo too.

Was he a legal or illegal presidential candidate? I think we better check his papers on his way out the door.

Its ironic. The man who wants to enforce our immigration laws gets knocked down by those who ignore the laws all together. Am I mistaken or is one of the responsiblities, and quite possibly one of the most important responsibilities, of our elected officials is to uphold our laws? They cannot pick and choose which laws they are going to uphold. I admire Tancredo for saying what millions of us believe and that is there should be no rewards (amnesty) for those who have nothing but contempt for our laws. Our local economies are suffering under the high costs of illegal immigration and I hope the candidate chosen realizes that.

This was a wasted effort to highlight the immigration issue since the majority of Americans currently think that our border should be secure and the immigration process improved. All this did was take away floor time for the candidates who had any significant support.

I am surprised he waited this long. He should have known his time was up when he said during a debate that "Tancredo was being out `Tancredoed'" by other candidates. He was focused too much on just one issue.

Tancredo was running for president? Why, and who cares, and who did he think was going to vote for him?

I didn't even know this guy was running. Tancredo who?

Wow - this should really shake things up. Now lets play nice when we divide up that 1% among those who are left.

Good Riddance, Mr. Xenophobe!

Here's your hat, what's your hurry?

It is about time. Finally Tancredo got the message through his thick head. Even the Republican party didn't deem you necessary to lead the pary. Now we need Mike Gravel, Alan Keyes, Kucinich and others to follow lead.

Its about time.This guy is looser and bigot.He needs to go back home and rethink his way of leadership.

I'm sad about this, because Tancredo was my #2 choice. Perhaps if we wasn't pro-war, he would have caught on.

Good Riddance.

Oh, what a shame. He had such a good shot at getting the nomination…

Why drop out now? He might as well wait till after Iowa. Unless he just can't afford to get his people to the caucuses.

Please say it ain't so!!!

*crickets chirping*…there goes a sage brush.

Anyone know the price of tea in China?

Well now the Republicans don't stand a chance, Tancredo is out. Surprised he fought it this long. At least he was allowed to debate, unlike Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel.

Tom who? Well, that's 1% more for Ron Paul. Paul looks to be in a solid third place now in the early voting states.
Duncan Hines, you're next to go!

Good riddance - talk about your one-trick pony.

Hail a cab! Fred Thompson is next!!

He won't be missed.. Another one bites the dust

I am glad this jerk is dropping out. He finally realizes that America will not elect a prejudice and ignorant person like him. I couldn't believe he declined to particpate in the Univision debates. Even the other Republican candidates are smart enough to see that the Hispanic vote is an important one in these upcoming elections. Now he can go back and hang out with his minute men buddies. I pray he is never elected to office again.

About time for this ignorant and xenophobic candiddte to withdrawal
