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.]
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.
>>>
At least not directly. Of course, there's the REAL problem of "theft of services"--illegals getting state services and med services they can't pay for and aren't paying taxes for. Solution to that is obvious, since the Fedlgumt isn't controlling the borders, the Fedlgumt should compensate state and local governments and health services heavily impacted by illegals. Money's gotta come from somewhere.....
Who is 'pitt' anyway?
I'll cowtow to a wet noodle slap as I originally posted that I would only respond 'this once'.. (but you know how that goes..)

Here ya go. Try this thread on for size if you are in the apologist crew. Lots of feel goodism and American guilt all in one place.
William Rivers Pitt: An intellectual sand flea who has deigned to declare himself the DUmmie Messiah.
Check out this thread. Will Pitt is a self described DUmmie pundit who is the subject of some of PJ's classic pieces.

Slap, slap.
All is now forgiven.
Yeah, I know that "just one time" thing well.
:)
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.
Agreed! I stayed away most of the morning just because of this. Just came back a minute ago to see if they'd gone elsewhere. Seems like they want to control the issues everywhere.
Then deal with it on a thread about immigration. This thread is about DUmmies and their election paranoia.
Same problem I would have with crack cocaine if it were legal. Some things, for various reasons, shouldn't be legal. One of them is immigration beyond the ability of American society to assimilate the immigrants. I believe that we are approaching, if not already past, those limits now. What's your problem? You don't like America? I/m not calling you a disruptor, although you seem to be a very recent member. But I've trolled a lot, myself, over with the DUmmies (see my profile), and I know the signs. I'm seeing one or two of them here, although not enough to make a definite statement. OK, don't give me any crap about being unable to answer your argument. I just did. And don't say I'm comparing illegal immigrants to crack cocaine. You know that I didn't.
Can anyone explain the "Fruedenschade" joke to me?
Of course, it HAD to be made into an animated graphic, for which I chose what I call "frou-frou magenta:"
Sure! Some weeks ago, Will Pitt and truthout.org posted an article by Jason Leopold to the effect that Karl Rove was indicted that Friday (May 12th, I believe). He was given 24 hours by Fitzpatrick, during a long, 15 hour session at his attorney's office) to 'get his affairs in order'.
The DUmmies went crazy over this. PJ's first thread (of several) included a post by a DUmmie that included the term 'Freudenschade, Baby!'. Obviously, the word is 'Schadenfreide' but this DUmmie didn't know that. Since then, it's become part of our 'DUmmie' lexicon. It's used, in part, to illustrate how bassackward they idiots are.
[You need to send out Karma waves to counteract this trend. Quick! Chant a mantra!]
Ah, but did they forget to send White Light to surround Busby?
"?? Elbridge Gerry died in 1814."
That's just what *they* want you to think.
Don't forget what that is in "business hours".
