If Pelosi becomes House Speaker, I'm going to compile a body count of fallen pro-border security Republicans in the 2006 election and compare their RAT replacements on how they vote for amnesty in the next Congressional session. (If the RATS do take the House, then there will be an amnesty bill signed into law).
I will then flash the data on various FR threads to show "how teaching RINOs a lesson was productive".
Bilbray may be the first one on my list.
Right on. Great idea.
I smell rove's stink all over this.
I'll bet Rove plans on using Bilbray's possible defeat as a method to pound nervous Republican incumbents into submission on immigration reform.
I don't doubt it. Bilbray has gone on record opposing the McCain senate immigration amnesty debacle and was rewarded by having McCain pullout of a campaign stop for him.
If the OBL RINO's want to play hardball, we'll play hardball come November. We'll play by the same rules they are.
Rove and his center right ilk will not win the war for control of the party.
No problem with this.
In his words, "I'm trying hard to help Bill win the primary, but it's hard to help him without somehow affecting the special election."
This is BULL. He couldn't have waited until after the 6th? I suspect he wants Busby to win in the expectation Bill Hauf (after winning the primary) will unseat her in the 2006 general election.
Bilbray, however, is a border troll.
Good point. In any given election, you have to decide what the key issues are. Right now, immigration has moved to the top of the list next to terrorism. I would vote for a tight border/strong national security guy who was pro-abort at this time, becuase if we don't immediately correct this, there won't be a nation for babies to be born into.
Both the primary and the runoff for the Special Election are being held on June 6th.
It's not effective to campaign after an election.
With the way the House Leadership conducted itself over the FBI raid on Jefferson's fridge, the Congresscritters maybe that foolish to believe Rove's spin.
What is a border troll?
This Bill Hauf guy . . . what's his fund raising look like? There are always more conservative options in any election, but they may not be viable. Viability is an important consideration in elections. Voting for your neighbor down the street who is more conservative than the GOP candidate running with the fundraising to win makes no sense.
Point being, if Hauf's fundraising is zero compared to Bilbray and a letter of this kind could hurt Bilbray in the Special election, then the letter should not have occurred.
And whose idea was it to have a special election the same day as a primary. This special election is to fill that seat for what, 4.5 mos?
And for this you blame conservatives if he loses?
He was a lobbyist for FAIR, he's totally hard-core on immigration, it's his only conservative issue.
Is there a Freeper in this district that can tell us what is really going? Who will probably win? I would hate to think this district going Democratic.
You really need to lay off the crack pipe.
Hauf is pro Cuba and does business there.
Bilbray has a history of being tough on the border issue
when he was in congress in the 90s
I'm confused. Is Bilbray running in two elections at once? A state legislative primary and a US congressional election?
