The Denver Post reports that, “while he has yet to formally declare his candidacy or fill out paperwork with the secretary of state’s office,” Tom Tancredo told a reporter that he “fully intends to run” for governor. When asked if he is running for Governor, Tom Tancredo told another local news station, “That is exactly what I anticipate doing.” After a brief run for President in 2008, Tancredo has been polishing his credentials over the past year by doing his part to coarsen the political discourse on television:

– Said he “didn’t know” if Obama “hates white people.”

– Argued Justice Sonia Sotomayor is a member of the “Latino KKK without the hoods or the nooses” and that she “appears to be a racist.”

– Claimed Obama may “indeed” be “a racist” because he nominated “Sonia Mayer” for the Supreme Court.

After Tancredo resigned from Congress, he told the press that he regretted being known for being anti-immigrant. A few months later, the proud nativist told a young Republicans gathering that he’d be open to halting all immigration to the United States.

Digg!

The Goofy opposition Party (GOP) are going to back a ill informed Nazi and Bigot for governor, wonder what this Race Hate Fear Monger is going to run on, more of the same self centered ideological wing nuttery of the CRACK POT Party. Are they going to be using more of the same old BullSh*t as the last time remember you DO NOT serve your Country as a right winger you WEAR a Lapel pin, You DO NOT serve your Country you use PHOTO OPS to enhance your image, You DO NOT serve your Country you WAVE the FLAG.

Oh yeah the COWARDLY, Gutless right picked a real winner, a DRAFT DODGER.

Look for endorsement from the Spineless, Gutless, American TRAITOR cheney and the QUITER and mis interpurter of TRUTH palin.

I doubt if the good people of Colorado will elect an idiot like Tancredo Governor.
