Mr Tancredo,

In reference to your comments at the "Tea Party Convention", to wit: 

"People who could not even spell the word 'vote,' or say it in English put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House. His name is Barack Hussein Obama."

I am a 53 year old white male.  I was born in the United States. I served in the U.S. Air Force for 26 years. I uprooted my family 15 times.  I served in Iraq.  I retired as a colonel.  And I voted for President Obama.  I just thought I would let you know that the reason I did so was in response to eight years of increasing frustration with the fear-mongering of the Bush Administration.  You, sir, are one of the champions of the politics of paranoia and fear. 

But anyway, in case you were wondering if there actually were folks who could speak, read, and write in English, and still voted for President Obama, I just wanted to help you out.

Sincerely,

Jim Harrold, Col, USAF (ret)
