Thomas Gerard "Tom" Tancredo (pronounced /tæŋˈkreɪdoʊ/; born December 20, 1945) is an American politician from Colorado, who represented the state's sixth congressional district in the United States House of Representatives from 1999 to 2009, as a Republican. He ran for President of the United States during the 2008 election, and was the Constitution Party's unsuccessful nominee for Governor of Colorado in 2010.

On "Hard Ball" by Christ Matthews, make a pbulic statement that " His own dog smarter than the President Of United State, Barrack Obama."

This is what fundamentally wrong about GOP in political race in 2012. Selling Hate and keep on selling Hate.

I saw it, I heard it. I was hoping Chris was going to bitch slap him but Matthews was too focused on his own ego to pay much attention. When he did mention it (his producers probably warned him) he just blew it off.

Adding the dog's IQ to Tancredo's does double that number, at least.

I guess people really don't realize that comments like Tancredo's ONLY reflect on him, it says nothing about the President.

In fact, the President is not talking about Tancredo, but it's Tancredo that's making a fool out of himself talking about Mr. Obama.

Do they really think that independents will think that a dog is smarter than the President or will they think that ALL republicans are like Tancredo are racist lunatics?

I guess if Tancredo was smarter he wouldn't have lost his seat.

Well, when he tells the dog to speak does it look around for a teleprompter or does he bark?

Even Reps/Tea Party don't want racist Tancredo. I will not say anything bad about the dog because I love animals and especially dogs. A dog don't know any better. However I will say this, if his dog know how much of a racist and how much a loser Tancredo, the dog would pick a better owner

    And seriously, pronounced /tæŋˈkreɪdoʊ/ didn't help a goddamn bit either.

    What Tom Tancredo is really saying in right-wing Republicanese-speak: "President Obama is not the lapdog we Obama-hating conservatives thought he was. We can't kick him around like I do my dog. Nor will he run and fetch and jump through hoops when we want him to. No, he's not as smart as my dog because my dog was far easier to train to roll over than President Obama."

    Nor can we lock the dog up in a box on top of the car like Mitt Romeny did and then drove across country with the frightened dog defacating all over the car!

    For nine long months of pregnancy, tom's mother almost worried her little self to death about that possibility, and to make sure that it will never happen again, she had the dog neutered.

      Typical right winged statement that the dog is better. What a bunch of disgusting and insane words that comes out of Republicans about Obama. Because they have no self esteem of thier Party. And what a joke the Republicans are making out of a settled law. Birth Control! Ha-Ha-Ha

      Cause they would vote for a yellow dog as long as he was a democrat. With the rightward tilt of the Republican party now, I am considering becoming a yellow dog democrat.

          Dean Moriarty____Yes I know how they got their name/by stupid people who thought they knew everything. And because you are trying to say this President is a coward & the Dem : party. Well most people think that the Repubs: are destroying our country. We don't need such negativity's in our country that the The Repubs: spew out every day/so much negative attitudes that it makes me sick to my stomache.
