BOISE, Idaho — State Rep. Raul Labrador defeated Vaughn Ward in western Idaho's 1st Congressional District and punched his ticket to face incumbent Democrat Walt Minnick in November.

"My friends, the key to our renewal is liberty," Labrador told a cheering crowd at GOP headquarters in Garden City shortly before 1 a.m. Wednesday. "The answer to Obamaism is liberty."

Ward, a Marine reservist and a first-time candidate, had a 6-to-1 money edge and the backing of the Idaho and national GOP hierarchy. Ward was a commanding presence on TV, while Labrador ran only a smattering of radio spots in the final two weeks. Both are from Eagle.

The House race grabbed national attention in the final days after Palin, the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate, came to Boise Friday to rally for Ward, who was the Nevada state director of the McCain-Palin campaign.

You need to do your homework.

I know him very well. He explained his stand on immigration to me long before he ever dreamed of running for congress.

He is absolutely for closing the border, NO AMNESTY, etc etc etc.

And he has never changed 1 iota of his stand.

I haven't been on Freerepublic alot in the last few years because I am an activist in the conservative Republican movement here in Idaho.

He has told other people that he is for what would be an amnesty.

There are quotes on the net that show this.

I am telling you that this is not true. Do you know who Robert Vazques is?

He supported Raul.

Vasquez made his entire campaign against illegal immigration.

The same people, RINOS, who helped take out a VERY conservative Republican congressman, Bill Sali, got Ward back from Virginia to run.

I am telling you Labrador will, NEVER tell a lie. Its not in him.

Okay then, he never lies and we should take him at his word.

Labrador's words...

”HOWEVER, I BELIEVE MASSIVE POLICE ROUND-UPS ARE BOTH FREIGHTENING AND EXPENSIVE. THEY WILL DEPLETE OUR RESOURCES AND I FEAR WOULD TAKE TOO LONG. THEREFORE, TO HELP SPEED-UP THE PROCESS, I WOULD BE WILLING TO OFFER ILLEGALS WHO HAVE A DESIRE TO BECOME LEGAL PRODUCTIVE MEMBERS OF OUR SOCIETY AN INCENTIVE TO COME FORWARD: SHOULD THEY DO SO WILLINGLY AND IN SOME REASONABLE TIME-FRAME – WE WOULD GIVE THEM CONSIDERATION BY THE STATE DEPARTMENT TO RETURN LEGALLY."
