I can spell and say "vote" and I voted for Obama!
On Februrary 5, 2010 at the opening night of the Tea Party Nation convention, former GOP Rep Tom Tancredo from Colorado said the following:
"Every year, the liberal Dems and the RINO Republicans turned up the temperature ever so slightly. It seemed after awhile that we'd all be boiled to death in a cauldron of the nanny state.
And then something really odd happened - mostly because we do not have a civics literacy test before people can vote in this country.
People who cannot even spell the word "vote" or say it in English put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House. Name is Barack Hussein Obama."
Tell Tom Tancredo and the Tea Party that you proudly voted for Barack Obama, that you can write, read and speak English, and that he should be ashamed for making these statements!
We the undersigned are outraged by the comments made by Tom Tancredo at the opening night of the Tea Party convention on February 5, 2010.
These comments are:
"Every year, the liberal Dems and the RINO Republicans turned up the temperature ever so slightly. It seemed after awhile that we%u2019d all be boiled to death in a cauldron of the nanny state.
And then something really odd happened %u2014 mostly because we do not have a civics literacy test before people can vote in this country.
People who cannot even spell the word %u201Cvote,%u201D or say it in English put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House. Name is Barack Hussein Obama."
Furthermore, we attest to the fact that we speak, write and read English and proudly voted for Barak Obama for President. Your allegations were outrageous and false and we would like to see you issue a retraction and apology.
