"On the Wall Street Journal editorial page today, there was an editorial about the primary results in Utah. The editorial touted the fact that Cannon (the open borders cheerleader) beat his his opponent by 56-44 percent. They contrasted this to Bilbray's win in San Diego as he only got 49.5% of the vote after running on an anti-illegal immigration platform. Of course, editorial failed to mention there was a "minute man" candidate who also drew about 6-7% of the anti-illegal immigration vote."

Apples to bananas.
Utah was a Republican primary.
Cali 50th District was between the Republican and RATS candidates, and the previous Republican candidate had not only been convicted of corruption, he was in jail for corruption.
Add in the fact that even President Bush got approximately the same % of the votes in the Cali th District as Bilbray did, and the Opinion Journal doesn't have a point.

That absurd analysis. A Republican primary, if the "Republican Base" is all fired up over Immigration, should of been a sweeping win for the Anti Illegals. It was not. That suggests the Anti Illegals, while extremely vocal, are not nearly the political powerhouses they claim themselves to be.

Simply ignoring the facts to validate your own emotional political feelings is intellectually indefensible. It is what the Democrat do all the time. That why they keep getting their heads beat in when they run up against the reality of the voting booth.

The fact of the matter is the average American is a lot more conservative then either side of the Immigration fight realize. They want NO part of "comprehensive" reform neither are they all gung ho for a "Deport everyone, right now" police state the Antis fantasies about.

Thankfully it looks like Congress finally wised up. Do some of the enforcements things, seen how that works, worry about the rest of it in the next Congress. This "My way or the Highway" will get both sides NOTHING. If that happens, the Illegals win and we will be right back here in 2 to 3 years ranting and raving about 30 or 40 million illegals with all those 1986 Amnesty anchor babies starting to reach voting age.
