Tom Tancredo’s career as an elected politician, rather than as a crusader for deporting everyone: Whatever became of it? Last the “Tom Tancredo” tag on Wonkette heard, he was 100 percent definitely running for governor of Colorado. If only Scott McInnis and Dan Maes, the two GOP candidates who actually bothered to register for the primary, hadn’t been so busy plagiarizing and being unethical, respectively, they might have been aware of Tancredo’s gubernatorial ambitions. Now they have only 72 hours to flee from the race in disgrace, or Tom Tancredo will be forced to crush them from the lofty perch of the “American Constitution Party.”
By noon Monday, Scott McInnis and Dan Maes must publicly announce that they have been defeated by Tom Tancredo in advance, and agree that whichever one of them “wins” the Republican primary will withdraw from the race immediately afterward, so that the Republican leadership can appoint someone — maybe Tom Tancredo, maybe not, Tom Tancredo doesn’t care — in their place. This is because Tom Tancredo has determined, with science knowledge, that they are both unelectable. What will the consequences be if this diktat is not obeyed?
“If they don’t, I’m going to run as hard as a I can and I won’t get out,” he said.
Sounds like a threat! A sexy threat. Naturally, when Tom Tancredo is bellowing that he will be doing something as hard as he can and he won’t be getting out, people are afraid! Republican people, like state Republican Chairman Dick Wadhams:
Let there be no mistake about it: Regardless of who our nominee is for governor after the primary, if Tom Tancredo carries through on his threat to run as a third party candidate, he will be responsible for the election of Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper as governor and for other races that will be imperiled as well.
Things we learn from the tone this quote: in Colorado Republican circles, “Denver Mayor” is code for “gay homosexual tax-and-spend Muslim.” Also, “Dick Wadhams” is almost, but not quite, as funny a name as “John Hickenlooper.” [Denver Post]

Dick Wadhams before he dicks you.
Hickenlooper for governor!
If Pennsylvania is two large, interesting cities surrounded by Alabama, Colorado is one pleasant, diverse, medium-size city surrounded by, I don’t know, call it the Christian Saudi Arabia.
It’s a typo. Sposta be “Dickwad Hams,” Colorado’s best-selling honey-cured meat product.
Too bad the good Dr. Thompson is no longer with us. He knew how to run a campaign in Colorado. He could show Tancredo what crazy really is, revamp the Freak Power ticket and show up at a debate with a glass of scotch and a shotgun. But, alas…….
Insert Obligatory Harvey Keitel Reference here.
[re=624267]V572625694[/re]: With one island of inclusive (except for the poors) ganja abuse.
Wonder why they didn’t mention the Colorado Secretary of State, Malcolm Smokes-too-much.
Tom Tancredo is bellowing that he will be doing something as hard as he can and he won’t be getting out
Did Tancredo OD on Viagra? Is this gonna be like when lovey dovey dogs get hung-up? He should remember the warning label that says if his dingy thingy is still saluting after 3 daze he should call his socialist Obamacare witch doctor. Tom, Tom, you need to show your softer side.
See Republicans, this is what happens when you chase everyone but the corrupt hacks and extreme right nutcases out of your party. Please, Tom, run and insure the Democrat gets elected, and for the comedy.
I remember some of his previous statements on Mexicans; even an Arizonan might admit they seemed a little bit racist.
Cower Before the Army of Tan-cretins!
Mr. Hickenlooper has the endorsement of Big Bird, and, to paraphrase Cookie Monster, that’s good enough for me.
[re=624267]V572625694[/re]: What about Boulder, Aspen, all the hippie mountain towns and the rural Latino belt across the southern half of the state?
I think it’s more like a left-leaning state with a Texan colony extending from Douglas County to Colorado Springs. Oh, and Grand Junction is Little Utah.
If elected, will Tom Tancredo finally change the name of the state to something other than the Mexican word for Negro?
This kind of boneheaded self-righteous obstinate bluster is just so unlike the Tom “The Tanc” Tancredo we have all come to know and love.
All this talk the Wonkette has had over the years about Tom Tancredo, and I didn’t even know he was from Colorado. He has that special kind of crazy that I thought you only found in San Diego, or parts of Orange County.
So the Republicans have a choice between a plagiarist, an ethically-challenged unelectable guy or Tom Tancredo, who couldn’t even be bothered to file the papers to run. This could be the most awesome clusterf*ck of a nominating process since — um — Alvin Greene a few weeks ago.
Sorry, “Dick Wadhams” is mathematically 1.7 times funnier than John Hickenlooper. Divide by Basil Marceaux, add 1/2 Young Boozer, and you have your answer.
Il Colorado liberato per il coraggioso Tancredo!
Troppo oscuro?
[re=624282]norbizness[/re]: Fortunately his “army” fits in a short school bus.
Step aside and watch me self-destruct.
Yay! More campaign videos of Tom Tancredo driving around while talking gibberish!
Now, I have a rather prominent schnozz, so I’m not one to mock anyone’s facial features (yes, I am), but every time I see Tom’s nose, I can’t help but wonder if it is real. Also, due to having watched the movie Roxanne a number of times as a child, I’m afraid I wonder if what they say about the size of a man’s nose is true.
To the Wingnuts, “Hickenlooper” is also code for “illegal-loving sanctuary-city mayor.” Cause, you know, he’s insisted that all people be treated like people when they’ve been shot and/or are about to die of the flu.
A bad thing, apparently.
Wadhams / Hickenlooper 2012!!!
[re=624285]Pizzuti[/re]: But it’s also home to Colorado Springs, the center of the crazed bigoted brand of Jesus goblins. Which is also awesomely broke because they fully subscribed to Reaganomics.
[re=624282]norbizness[/re]: DICK ARMY will CRUSH YOU
Crap, for some reason Hickenlooper reminds me of “john jacob jingleheimer schmidt”.
Didn’t the Daily Show say that Tom is who Mexican mothers scare their kids with to eat their vegetables? Run, Tom, run, since there apparently isn’t enough Mexican-bashing going on right now.
[re=624267]V572625694[/re]: From the vantage point of Wyoming, north of Colorado: up yours.
The Colorado Republicans have their silk, scented panties in a Gordian knot because Tancredo will steal their core issues. http://tinyurl.com/2a837g4
Tom, you are a conniving selfish bastard! And I salute you.
It says something very frightening about you when you are too extreme for the contemporary GOP to accept your potential candidacy.
This guy runs for everything. No one takes him seriously.
[re=624267]V572625694[/re]: Pennsylvania has, at max, one interesting city. Philly ain’t it, and I’ve never been to Pittsburgh.
[re=624297]Norbert[/re]: That’s from “The Overton Window”, amiright?
Saying Hickenlooper is FUN! Hickenlooper, Hickenlooper, Hickenlooper. Try it!
Good lord, isn’t his brand of terminal sadness contageous? I’ve got some friends in Colorado, don’t want to see them succumb to that!
[re=624359]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: john jacob jingleheimer schmidt? That’s my name, too!
Why do you never see Tom Tancredo and Mort Sahl in the same room?
This can only end well for Colorado.
Dick Wadhams. With a name that gay he has to be the head of a Republican party.
Honestly, I’m more frightened by Morbo the “I will destory you” news monster than I am by Tom the Tan-man.

Tom’s face, like the portrait of Dorian Gray, really shows the inner evil of that douchebag.
Tom Tancredo has a dick nose.
[re=624804]chascates[/re]: Dicknose Hams? A competitor, perhaps?
Any mad scientist progressives out there working on a self-awareness-gene switching-on bacterium? I’d give Tancredo two days, tops, after full onset.
[re=625199]Darkness[/re]: We’d use a virus for that, rather than a bacterium. I’m focusing my efforts on a virus that makes being stupid and evil fatal. That and the venomous badgers, for security purposes.
