Fresno (Los Angles Times) -- Gubernatorial candidates Meg Whitman and Jerry Brown tangled in a blistering dispute Saturday over Whitman's employment of an illegal immigrant housekeeper as they met for the campaign’s first and only Spanish-language debate.

The most intense exchange of the debate, held at Cal State Fresno, came when the moderator asked Whitman about the revelations earlier this week that she had employed Nicandra Diaz Santillan for nine years before firing her in 2009. Whitman has denied knowing that Diaz Santillan was undocumented until just before the dismissal.

Whitman turned to face Brown and accused Brown of being behind Santillan's emergence.

“Jerry, you should be ashamed,” she said, turning to Brown and shaking her finger. “You and your surrogates put her deportation at risk. You put her out there. You should be ashamed for sacrificing Nicky Diaz on the altar of your political ambitions.”

"MEG and CARLYE are the TWO HOTEST TROLL POSTS sites on FR"

Exactly right. The KOZ gang are limp-wristed and ashamed to call themselves what they are. Just as ALL Democrats use the term "Progressive", because they are afraid to be identified as the Socialists/Communists that they are, for fear of being outed as such.

Trying to blend in with the crowd, because of weak-knees (well-used knees, too), these fools try to attack the Conservative and Traditional Values true Americans at every opportunity.

Right out of the ol' Alinsky playbook, and tools of the elites. Fools.

I was living in Calif when Brown was Gov - he ran the state deep into the red - - and Reagan brought it back into the black.

Why is no one pointing this out?
“Hey, Jerry, when you left office last time, you left the state deep in the red.”
“Reagan pulled us out into the black.
We are deepe in the red right now then ever. Why should we trust YOU at the helm again?”

Perhaps because it is incorrect. Reagan was Governor BEFORE Jerry Brown.

I didn’t find the feed until the last half.
She did pretty well. Definitely held her own.

As to the content of what they said, I like them both less than I did before the debate, LOL.

The English button was on the right at the top of the video (during that 4-5PM hour)

Since then, not only can I not find the English button, I can’t find the video.

Perhaps they only streamed it for that one hour?

Let me know if you find out anything.
