In an interview with NRC Handelsblad, he (Tancredo) talked about the Tea Party movement, senator John McCain and Sarah Palin, the former vice-presidential candidate and a heroine of the movement. After her speech at the Nashville convention, Palin said she is considering a run for the presidency in 2012. Tancredo however, does not believe she is fit for the presidency. “I really don’t have this feeling about her as being presidential,” he Tancredo said. “I don’t know what it is exactly. I don’t know if the issues really are that difficult for her or not.” He questions if she has what it takes, and whether she really wants it. “As governor of the state of Alaska, she doesn’t have all that kind of experience. She can get better. But I don’t know if she is really looking to do it.’’ It could all be a commercial thing, just a way to sell books? “Sure. Make a lot of money and stay in the mix. I think that’s a great idea.’’ John McCain has brought over his former running mate to campaign for him in Arizona, where the Tea Party movement is challenging his seat in the Senate. She will campaign against J.D. Hayworth, a friend of yours who is on your side in the immigration debate. What does that tell you about Palin? “That tells me she is a Republican. I am not. I mean, I am a member of that party and that will always stay that way. But to me it’s only a mechanism, a way to get on the ballot and all that. But she is a real Republican.’’ She has to do this to rise in the party ranks? “I think so.’’ So she is just as much an unprincipled politician as all the rest of them? “To a large extent.’’ And you still love her? “I didn’t say that!’’ Well, in your Tea Party speech you pointed out that she could finally say all those wonderful things now she’s free from McCain. “I said: ‘Now she can tell it like it is.’ And she chooses not to.’’ So at the end of the day you are not that fond of her? “You are right. I was much fonder of her before she chose to get involved in the McCain thing. She didn’t have to do it.’’ The Republicans are abandoning her, the teabaggers are abandoning her, her own inner circle is abandoning her, how much longer can it be before Sarah Palin finds that the only people left who will listen to her speak are Piper, and the “retarded baby”. (Sarah calls him that , not me.)

Teabagger convention speaker, and out of the closet racist, Tom Tancredo does not love Sarah Palin anymore.
