DUmmie FUnnies 06-07-06 (California Congressional Race In DUmmie Real Time)

DUmmie FUnnies ^ | June 7, 2006 | DUmmies and PJ-Comix

[PJ-Comix]

I think the most FUn way to watch the Congressional Race in the 50th Congressional District in the San Diego area is via watching the DUmmies in Real Time watching the results come in. They must have had their hopes up especially after watching last night's CBS News report on this special election to fill Duke Cunningham's seat because CBS portrayed it as a choice between Saint Busby vs Bilbray the Anti-Christ. Of course, NO mention was made of the HUGE campaign gaff made by Busby who said that illegals could help get her elected. (If anyone can find the video link to that CBS Report, please forward it to me here and I will update this DUFU edition with it for ALL to see.) Therefore the DUmmies went into this special congressional election with high hopes only to be dashed on the Rocks of Reality later as you can see in this THREAD titled, "Busby >> Bilbray race." You can see the comments in DUmmie Real Time (EDT) as the tragic results come in. As usual, the DUmmie hopes soon to be crushed are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, consoling the DUmmies with the fact that they won a meaningless "Moral Victory," is in the [brackets]:

Wed Jun-07-06 01:13 AM... Busby >> Bilbray race

Currently..

Bilbry -- 20,866 - 50.63%
Busby --- 17,693 - 42.94%

57 out of 500 precincts reporting so far.

Go Francine Go!

[Go Francine Go! CBS News has already declared you to be the Moral Victory winner!]

01:25 AM... 66 precincts now in... Bilbry still leads. 21,602 to 18,560

It's still early...

[It's never too early to win a moral victory.]

01:25 AM... 66 out of 100, 50.33 to 43.24 . . .Busby's on the move. . .

[Yeah, that .30% change shows momentum of MASSIVE proportions.]

01:28 AM... She did move more than him that last go around, didn't she?

[Keep hope ALIVE!]

01:32 AM... If the Independent & Libertarian weren't running.. we'd almost be tied.. C'mon Francine.. start moving some more!

[Actually Busby would be further behind but who am I to argue with DUmmie illogic?]

01:33 AM... Bilbray went down while Busby gained. . .

[Keep rubbing those DUmmie prayer beads!]

01:34 AM... 20% counted now, and percentages holding. . .

[What? No more massive .30% momentum shifts?]

01:37 AM... I know... that damn 3,000 vote difference won't budge.. C'mon numbers MOVE in Francine's direction!

[Sorry. Election results are NOT like Ouija boards. The results do NOT go in a certain direction because you want them to.]

01:35 AM... 100 out of 500 now in....

24,786 Bilbry
21,269 Busby

Sheesh..

[WOO! HOO! We're on our way to a MORAL VICTORY!!!]

01:45 AM... Bill Schneider's prediction that the Independent would hurt the Rethug..doesn't seem to be coming true yet.

[That was more Bill Schneider's HOPE in the form of a prediction.]

01:50 AM... 50 44 she's catching up..

[They just counted a bunch of the votes without papers that she requested.]

01:55 AM... Oh man.. I hope that trend continues! ..and she keeps eeking up until she bypasses him!

BRIAN BILBRAY - REP
26637
50.02%

FRANCINE BUSBY - DEM
23461

C'mon Francine!

[Why hold back? I say break out that Freudenschade victory champagne NOW!]

02:18 AM... . Damn!.. she just can't get past that 3k difference.. The difference was 2,973 votes.. now it's 3,300.

[So does that mean the .30% momentum surge for Busby has been overtaken by momentum for the Anti-Christ?]

02:38 AM... 3,278 difference.. Busby only gained 22 votes in last update.. Still.. moved in the right direction..

[A 22 vote gain? WOO! HOO! Time to uncork that victory champagne! Do it! DO IT NOW!!!]

02:52 AM... 46% of votes are now in and here is where we stand....

Precincts: 500
Counted: 232
Percentage: 46.4%

BRIAN BILBRAY - REP
35505
49.67%

FRANCINE BUSBY - DEM
31955
44.70%

Do we have any hope??

[Your chances are excellent for winning a Moral Victory.]

02:56 AM... Bilbray 49.67 -44.7. she's slowly catching up....almost half of the precincts are counted now though, so she'll need to catch up quite a bit soon for her to have a chance.

[BUSBY!!! SLOOOOOOOWLY SHE TURNED, STEP BY STEP...]

03:12 AM... The results remind me of the Jean Schmidt > Paul Hackett Race...

[Another Moral Victory for the Democrats.]

03:21 AM... I was thinking about that for the past hour. Almost posted it but didn't want to jinx a potential Busby comeback. Heavy red districts that we're trying to steal. In November the districts like this will not flip either. That +40 or anything close to that is preposterous. We need to reverse the low to mid GOP-leaning districts, and pick up the +15 seats.

[Heavy red districts that you're trying to steal? I give you credit for HONESTY.]

03:24 AM... Still 49.82% to 44.71% .... it WILL NOT BUDGE!

[NOT EVEN NUDGED!]

03:41 AM... Damn. Now Bilbray is up 4118 votes.

[That Moral Victory champagne is sure going to taste good!]

03:46 AM... It looks like the percentage is getting closer but Bilbray now leads by 4,321 votes which is 203 more than last time.

[You need to send out Karma waves to counteract this trend. Quick! Chant a mantra!]

03:54 AM... Seems to suspicipous that it bounces between 3 and 4k difference.. Regardless of how many votes come in.. Something strange seems to be going on.

[That PROVES it! ELECTION FRAUD!!! Call RFK, Jr. NOW!!!]

03:56 AM... Did that misstatement by Busby hurt her this bad? I thought she would squeak by, but this difference is larger than I would've ever thought. I can only think that the statement she made about illegals not needing papers has cost her the election.

[You wouldn't have known a thing about that "misstatement" if you had been watching the CBS News Ode to Francine last night that came in the laughable form of an "objective" campaign report.]

03:57 AM... Are they using diebold machines?? Sure seems suspicious like you say.

[Bev Harris is only $10 away from proving that Busby was the winner.]

03:58 AM... If this keeps up and he wins, I wonder how the media will spin this tomorrow?

["Democrats jubilant over moral victory in California."]

04:00 AM... I can tell you one thing. I'm sick and tired of "moral" victories. We need to win some of these kinds of seats if we are going to take over the House of Representatives

[And this DUmmie WINS a Moral Victory Kewpie Doll for having a brief moment of mental clarity!]

04:45 AM... It was the immigrant gaffe she made that killed her. Next time, make sure the people you're pandering to can vote.

[Or give the vote to the dead people.]

04:59 AM... Another update

U.S. REPRESENTATIVE 50TH DISTRICT - (RUN-OFF)
Counted: 451 of 500 precincts – 90.2 percent
BRIAN BILBRAY - REP 56016 49.49%
FRANCINE BUSBY - DEM 51202 45.24%

Again it looks like the percentage is tightening but Bilbrays lead is now 4,814. Damn, I think it's over

[It's over? Great! Now we can finally declare our Moral Victory!]

05:03 AM... AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH

I hate coming close!!!! Coming close isn't going to get us in control of Congress. We need to pick up these kind of seats if we're going to win in November. We can't let these opportunities slip by. There just aren't that many competitive seats.

[May I have a sip of your Moral Victory champagne?]

05:13 AM... Your right Larissa, we DO have to remember how RED it is, BUT she has another chance in November, remember this election was for the fill in and hopefully we will get the Indies and the Greens and others to vote in the November for her and Busby just has to keep attacking him while he is in office, PLUS in November more people will be out to vote. I think this looks aweful for the Republicans.

[Of course it looks awful for the Republicans. It's because you just won a MORAL VICTORY! WHEEEEEEEE!!! Break out the Bubbly!]

05:15 AM... Geeze if this looks awful for rethugs I'd hate to see what looks good! We have to start winning these seats!

[KILLJOY!]

05:57 AM.. AP has called the race for Bilbray -

[Now it's official---the Democrats have just won a Moral Victory.]

[chesley]

You're right about McCain. The Dhimms, though, will once again swallow the Kool-Aid and select an "electable" candidate. The far left will sit it out in a snit, and the Republican will coast home.

[mnehring]

Unless the HSWs convince enough to vote third party and we have a Ross Perot situation..

[chesley]

Better to do nothing till after the election and get the Wall without amnesty after the American people have spoken. Or not.

[chesley]

Speak for yourself. I had nothing to do with it. I opposed amnesty the first time, and wrote countless letters with real postage stamps on them to my Congressman, President, and Senators.

OK, if 'morality' isn't your bag, try 'legality'. They did break the law, and the fact that they were allowed, even encouraged to do so, doesn't change that. Send 'em back.

[Ella Vader]

The border is south of here.

[Ella Vader]

They did break the law, and the fact that they were allowed, even encouraged to do so, doesn't change that. Send 'em back.
>>>

Round 'em up yourself.

[chesley]

Nah. that's what the immigration service and the border patro are for.

[LibertyLee]

I'm reasonably close to your opinion. My wife is Thai and a more Conservative Republican American citizen you will not find. I believe that the immigration problem is largely the USCIS and BICE problem (INS) because it is the most inefficient agency in the US government. I think you have to fix that and have a reasonable biometric ID card system. I think virtual fences with physical reinforcement where they make sense can help; but you need Guest worker and path to citizenship with ID and employer sanctions to ultimately make it work; along with requiring all levels of government, state AND local to assist in catching the illegals (otherwise there is no way to have the manpower). AND you have to be reasonable in saying that those that have built families and are working---in other words if their only crime is the original one of crossing illegally, there needs to be a way of letting them participate legally. These are human beings and it is not the America I know to make felons out of an entire class of millions of people.

[freedumb2003]

Justice Department spokesman Jorge Martinez said the latest figures are believed to be more accurate than previous ones because they reflect new methods used to determine trends in the entry and departure of undocumented residents.

Those methods are very suspect nonetheless. Better estimates using better methods make the number closer to 20 million (which I believe to be true). Do you live in an affected area? Or you just blowing smoke from some safe area like Wyoming?

[Ella Vader]

Frankly, if the "fifty million" immigrants are LEGAL, then what's yer problem?

[mnehring]

I'll ditto all of that..
The problem with saying the old 'bumper sticker line'- What part of illegal don't you understand?- or - Why don't we just enforce current laws?- is that the laws right now are so conflicting, illegal entry is technically not much harsher of a law than speeding, and all an illegal has to do if caught is say he has been in the US for more than 5 years and would like to apply for a visa and the INS must give him/her the opportunity to apply for that visa..

Now, the additional crimes such as identity theft, tax fraud, etc, are something we really have to address and not push by the wayside.

[Ella Vader]

Do you live in an affected area?>>

Youbecha. There are illegals all over the place around here.

I'm just saying that they're an annoyance and a strain: NOT a "death sentence."

1994 and 2002, if he could stand having his nose rubbed in it.

[Luircin]

Wow, the DUmmie FUnnies were the target of synchronized hijacking. It's a new FReeper Olympic sport.

I hope this doesn't happen often. These threads are often my only source of refuge from the endless moping and whining on the rest of the site.

[Ella Vader]

Why don't we just enforce current laws?- is that the laws right now are so conflicting, illegal entry is technically not much harsher of a law than speeding, and all an illegal has to do if caught is say he has been in the US for more than 5 years and would like to apply for a visa and the INS must give him/her the opportunity to apply for that visa..
>>>>

Exactly. Forget penalizing those who have planted roots. Illegal or not, they're here, they're not going away; don't round 'em up and send (to use one evil phrase I saw here on FR a few days ago) "boxcars to the borders!"

Now, the additional crimes such as identity theft, tax fraud, etc, are something we really have to address and not push by the wayside.
>>>>

Okay. You tell people they must pay taxes, even if they're here. They illegally get a Tax I.D. # to pay those taxes. That's "fraud." Fine. What's worse? Paying taxes "fraudulently"? Or NOT paying taxes at all?

It's a mexx. <-- that was supposed to say "It's a mess," but that's a fortuitous typo and I'll leave it. Seriously, the only way to fix it is to say, "Okay, screw it! Fine. From now on you're here legally. Here's your goddam green card. But no more after you!" Then back up the 'no more' with teeth. Build up Homeland Security so it can do the job. Hire sufficient border agents, immigration officers, and immigration judges to do the damn job.

[confederacy of dunces]

PJ,

Do you have some sort penalty for people hijacking a DUFU and turning it into an immigration thread? Pitt photos perhaps?

All,

I'm not trying to be the thread police, but I come here to get away from that stuff.

[Ella Vader]

Well, immigration IS the issue du jour.

And it does relate to the 50 district race. Remember B-1 Bob Dornan back in '96? Illegal voting nuked him, too.

Sorry about the hijack, but we gotta deal with this.

[mnehring]

I'm actually referring to Tax Fraud in the 'under the table payments', non reporting (as many are listed as contract labor), identity theft, underreporting, hiding assets, etc...

[Ella Vader]

Well, vast majority of those on the cash economy are earning under the $15K cutoffline anyway, so we don't really lose much in the way of taxes anyhow, in spite of claims otherwise.

And besides, I don't know about YOU, tovarshch, but I for one don't want the IRS to look closely at most people's tax returns anyway.... if you think the INS can't do its job.... geez....

[confederacy of dunces]

Yes, but this is a humor thread.

There are PLENTY of immigration threads.

I'm stopping on this issue right now. I don't want to participate in the hijack.
