Tom Tancredo: I Spoke at the Tea Party Convention Because I Couldn’t Afford a Ticket
By David Weigel 2/5/10 10:53 AM


NASHVILLE — I’ve just arrived for the first annual National Tea Party Convention, but most of the attendees signed up last night, and some have started posting videos from the event. In this one by “davidzdavid,” former congressman Tom Tancredo explains why he came to speak on opening night

DAVID: You came to the Tea Party Convention because they asked you?

TANCREDO: Well, sure! I didn’t have $500 for a ticket! Only way I could get in this room was to be a speaker!

1. Tom was worth every nickel he spent to get in there.

Which was exactly $0

[gratuitous]

2. Must be because all the minorities and illegal immigrants bought up all the tickets

Same reason Tom couldn't quite get into the military when he was of an age to go. But now that that unpleasantness is over, he's all for sending other people's kids off to foreign lands to kill and die for the greater profits of the "free" market.

3. First prize: a ticket to that convention, Second prize: two tickets.

Net worth $800,000 in Dec 07, and today he can't afford to pay for a $500 ticket?

Wassamatta, Tom? An illegal immigrant take your job?

6. Cost of the plane ticket and hotel must not have been a factor.

:crazy:
