Our Candidates: Tom Tancredo

As you may recall, we here at Phronesisaical are providing a pre-election service of looking into the souls of the current crop of presidential candidates in order to gauge their deepest, hollowest essences. Last time we featured Mitt Romney. Today's special guest is Republican Tom Tancredo.

"If it is up to me, we are going to explain that an attack on this homeland of that nature would be followed by an attack on the holy sites in Mecca and Medina," Tancredo was quoted saying Tuesday in Iowa by a political website, IowaPolitics.com.

"Beyond the loss of human life and devastation, it would cause a worldwide economic collapse," Tancredo said of a nuclear attack on US soil, according to the website.
