I believe she even made the claim today at some rally that documentation wasn't needed for illegal aliens to vote - in spanish.

I believe she even made the claim today at some rally that documentation wasn't needed for illegal aliens to vote - in spanish.

Last night at an Escondido Spanish only rally She was recorded by the MINUTEMEN and the tape is being played on KOGO in San Diego.

Busby is running radio ads lambasting Bilbray for not wanting to 'reform' immigration, and implying that she's some kind of hardliner by she wants to get tough on illegal immigration via the McCain bill. That's like saying you'll get tough on criminals by making their crimes legal. Meanwhile she got taped at a rally with Hispanics in which at least one man said he didn't "have papers." She then tells him he can help her campaign and vote anyway.

Isn't this the same California in which the democrats brought in the illegal alien voter brigades to defeat B-1 Bob Dornan?? I think we should all be on the lookout for similar things from the 3CT democrats.

[Pelham]

If she keeps doing that the GOP's open borders crowd will try to draft her and renounce Bilbray.

[fantom]

One in the same.

"""""She disputes advocating amnesty, and has used the words of Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona to buttress her case. """""


Doesn't it seem coincidental that John McCain seems to always be on the side of anything that weakens the US? (Campaign Finance {anti free speech}"Reform" , "Immigration Reform" etc,etc, ad nauseum)

Is it my overactive imagination, or is yon McCain appearing more and more like a 'Manchurian Senator'?

[Pelham]

It's not your imagination.

[JoanneSD]

One can hear Busby, on www.rogerhedgecock.com he has an audio of her telling illegals they dont need papers to vote....

[StJacques]

How do we get "Busby will lose Special Election" out of all this?

Please don't misunderstand me, I'm pulling for Bilbray. But I've been following this race on the web over the past couple of days and most recent polls either say it's close or Busby has the lead.

I'm hoping for good news in response here.

[Shermy]

This one says the repub is two points ahead, essentially a tie.

link is at post 16...I can't wait til that gets some coverage..no papers to help!

[VOA]

Bilbray will probably lose. Because Busby will get the illegal vote.

And don't expect the GOP poohbahs to help Bilbray if he loses due to
election fraud (votes by illegals).
They didn't help "B-1" Bob Dornan when he lost thusly to Loretts Sanchez.

[stephenjohnbanker]

She did!!!! A Minuteman smuggled a tape into her meeting. I heard it played back on the radio this afternoon.

[ConservativeGreek]

repub is two points ahead,

Its a Survey USA Poll. Favors Dims by about 5 to 7 points.

[Soul Seeker]

Immigration and its politically controversial cousin, amnesty, are co-starring in the closing act of a House race with national implications, a close and costly production in Republican-friendly San Diego.

Okay, that is funny. LOL

At least it's a different way to open the usually snarky biased columns the AP puts out.

"Busby even said she would protest making English our official language," says a GOP party ad.

Lacking a conscience, the pro-open borders amnesty GOP funds an ad attacking a pro-open borders amnesty Democrat for being pro-open borders favorable towards amnesty and the loss of our distinct national culture and soveriegnty. Not attacking the ad....just the hypocrisy of the party funding the ad.

She disputes advocating amnesty, and has used the words of Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona to buttress her case.

LOL! I have tears in my eyes...laughing...so hard.

Whatever the outcome of Tuesday's vote, Democrats are already claiming victory.

Oh brother.

McCain, too, agreed to campaign for Bilbray, but he abruptly canceled a recently scheduled visit when Republican strategists decided it might cause Bilbray political problems.

Wait! Hold up...I'm confused? Didn't Dowd and the rest of the amnesty brigade tell us amnesty was, um, popular? That the House approach is a killer? Who are these renegade Republican stategists, then, that state otherwise? Paging M. Dowd!!!

McCain, a strong draw for GOP voters, is also a leading supporter of legislation that recently passed the Senate. The bill combines enhanced border security with a guest worker program and a shot at citizenship for many of the illegal immigrants in the country.

If McCain is such a favorite [sarcasm] of GOP voters, then shouldn't he be down there to encourage strong turnout? I don't know, something just doesn't seem to compute here! Dang 'nabbit if this yahoo can make heads or tails of this...

Unless it has something to do with McCain popping out in another Republican setting preaching amnesty, that Resulted in Cannon coming in second to Jacobs Resulting in an elective challenge in a few weeks. Why, if I didn't know better I'd guess the GOP is well aware amnesty is none too popular?

Meanwhile she got taped at a rally with Hispanics in which at least one man said he didn't "have papers." She then tells him he can help her campaign and vote anyway.

ROFL!!!

If it weren't for the fact he has a record strong on illegal immigration I'd say toss him based on his record on practically everything else, I've had my fill of Liberals, but I'm making an exception for the Liberal based on this one issue. It's too important. Elect Bilbray.

[Shermy]

""Whatever the outcome of Tuesday's vote, Democrats are already claiming victory.""

I second your "Oh Brother". A "victory" in the inability to knock off an opponent whose party predecessor was as scandalously corrupt as Cunningham?

[StJacques]

Thank you for the link Shermy. I might point out that I have been something of a "poll junkie" for years and I generally consider Survey USA polling to favor Democrats, so I regard those results as good news.

I also meant to say that the one thing I see that suggests to me that the Democratic strategists might see themselves in trouble in this race is their public statement "we've already proven . . ."

Once I see one side saying that "even if we lose we've still won," I tell myself that they're preparing to cushion the blow they expect on election day.
