Today brings news that John McCain canceled a fundraising event for Brian Bilbray, the Republican challenging Francine Busby, over a difference in immigration policy.
Arizona Sen. John McCain on Tuesday canceled an appearance for a Republican congressional candidate who has attacked his opponent for supporting McCain's immigration bill.McCain, R-Ariz., was scheduled to speak Wednesday at a breakfast fundraiser for Brian Bilbray, who is locked in a close runoff race with Democrat Francine Busby for the San Diego-area seat left vacant by disgraced former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham. The event was expected to raise at least $65,000.
Jesse Lee has more, including a statement from Francine.
While your getting your daily dose of Busby, check out this:
Francine Busby on the radio with The Young Turks. Who, by the way, aren't a group of young turkish chaps, as I originally thought upon hearing the name.
Young Turk (n), 1. Young progressive or insurgent member of an institution, movement, or political party. 2. Young person who rebels against authority or societal expectations. (American Heritage Dictionary)
Anyway, have a listen.

To: All my Democratic Friends who want to Win Back ALL of Congress this year! I mostly mean the new and old Democratic candidates for Congress.
From: A former Republican who started hating bush right of the batt, and has done nothing but watch bush, his regime, and his Bobble Heads in Congress screw up everything they have touched. Please note; I only gave capital letters to those I respect and deserve capital letters, so do not label me an English dropout, even though you would be right. Please excuse any and all grammar errors and misspelled words.
Dear Candidate,
I have sent many of you emails and letters, in hope of getting you to run campaigns which would assure the take over of Congress by us Democrats. Any American who did not like, or even hated President Clinton for lying about a privet sexual matter while he was President of the United States, should out right hate, and be willing to demand that bush step down. I think bush is by FAR, thee worse President in the history of our Great Country. I personally do not want him impeached, I want him and his regime investigated, charged criminally, and executed for Treason to our Country. They, bush, cheney, and the rest of his regime have done enough harm to earn such a harsh penalty. They have actually done more than enough to earn it. I hope you can see I am on your side, and will not waiver from this devotion. However, we, us Democrats, are dealing with some very intelligent people.
I am not sure why people call karl rove bush’s brain. Maybe because he was key to getting a dumb ass elected President of the United States of America. Someone so stupid, (bush) he could not find his ass with both hands. Yes, I acknowledge karl is a very smart man. However, I feel stronger that cheney is more likely bush’s brain. I have a VCR tape of 9-11, or a day or two after, that shows an interview with bush onboard Air Force One. When he was asked what made him thee most angry that day, bush answered it was not being able to continually talk to cheney while he was in the air, and cheney was underground in a bunker. He was saying he had lots of dropped calls, like the rest of us. :) However, this shocked me, I almost fell out of my chair, but I didn’t. I actually jumped up and screamed at the TV I was so angry. We were under attack, and thee thing that made him the most angry on that whole day, was dropped calls aboard Air Force One? Why in hell did he need to continually talk to cheney, unless maybe, he was way to dam stupid to know what to do? He was NOT on the phone with karl rove, or any other political hack. My Mother, who was sitting beside me when she heard this said, “You Think”, talking about bush being stupid.
I know the court appointed bush president, he did not win the election in 2000, he stole it. In fact, 2000 was thee first time I ever voted for a Democrat. I am sorry to say I did not vote in 2004. Number one, I thought people would not be stupid enough to elect bush fair and squar for a second term. Number two, I really did not like either candidate, and we, my whole family, did not want to have to vote for the best of two sorry ass candidates. We made a huge mistake, as we would later learn. We would later learn just how big of a mistake we had made in 2004. I hope you understand, two bad candidates, who do you vote for??? A second look at Senator Kerry was not that bad, but at the time he sounded to much like bush. He did not seem apposed to bush, I think for fear of being labeled unpatriotic.
A lot of things have come out about how we got into this illegal, unjust, unprovoked, and unneeded WAR. When will America learn we can not, and should not force people to change at the point of a gun? The only people in Iraq that want us to stay, are people who are in one way or another, making money from the United States being in their country. These people want us there as long as we keep paying them, feeding them, giving them free medical care, or in some other way they have a stake in us staying in country, like the current politicians? Wake up America, lets bring our boys home! No one else has to die because mr. bush wanted to kill saddam because he thinks saddam tried to have HIS father killed. No one else has to die because mr. cheney wanted halliburton stock to go through the roof. No one should have ever died so halliburton could make money. Not a little money, not even a LOT of money, we are now talking about this WAR costing a TRILLION DOLLARS! It has already cost over half a TRILLION Dollars, and the cost is going up every day, both in the cost in dollars, and in lives!
The above, is a subject that gets my heart pumping faster than anything I know of, so let me get onto what I wanted to say in this letter. Keep in mind I am now a devoted Democrat for life. I hate the republican party for not standing up to a president who is out of control and gets worse everyday. I would love to say, “no matter what you do”, to Democrats I mean, I will always vote for you. This is why I warned every Democrat I could reach about the immigration Crisis. Make no mistake, there is no question about it, I am not an alarmist, this is a Crisis of Immense Portions! As Democrats we need to face this issue in one way, and only ONE way for the time being, Security First! STOP THE BLEEDING!!! I know most Democrats seem to be where the president is, but for a different reason, but we are being fooled. The president and his corporate masters only want the cheep labor, they want it with no cost to them, or I should say at the lowest price to them as possible.
I really do not know Senator Chris Dodd of Connecticut, but I would be willing to bet a million dollars (if I had it) that his career is shot to hell and is over as of this day. That is, if all of what the talking heads on TV are saying about his last minute amendment to the immigration bill are true. As I understand it, Senator Dodd wants the sovereign Nation of the United States of America, to HAVE to (A MUST) coordinate with the Mexican Government before we could build a fence along our southern border. The amendment says we (the USA) MUST consult, and coordinate with the Government of Mexico before we enforce our borders laws. This is insane, do you have any idea how bad this looks and sounds to us Americans, any clue whatsoever? Well, it sounds exactly like what I have been telling every Democratic politician I could reach by email for a long time, at least a month or more.
I have told you if you do not say, I DEMAND, “Security First”, and that president bush MUST demonstrate he is willing and capable of enforcing current border laws, because he has not done so for the last six years, you will lose the upcoming election and any chance you will ever have in politics. All because it sounds like you are standing up for illegal aliens rights, before you are standing up for the everyday Americas lives. You know, the people who vote, and the ones who sent you to Washington DC in the first place. We are the least vocal, least likely to demonstrate, least likely to call you. We will speak with a very loud voice this November, and if we want to win, and win big, bigger than anyone would have thought, we must stand up for Security First. This will pull in all those voters who are regular republicans, but do not like bush. They recognize bush is not a true conservative, he is a war monger who is trashing our country by running up a debt that most people can not imagine, or comprehend.
Bush will sell out America for the benefit of a few. He does not seem to have a problem sending jobs over seas, like trading nuclear technology for mangos, NO, I am not kidding. Like importing unskilled, uneducated illegal aliens, who will work for less than minimum wage, he imports them by NOT enforcing the current border laws, nor will he enforce visa laws. Yes, that’s right, he has not been enforcing our visa laws even though that is how most of the 19 hijackers got into our country. The bush regime seems to love the visa’s for highly educated people, because they will generally work for $15,000.00 dollars less a year than what the same educated American would be paid.
In short the bush regime LOVES big business, the larger the more they LOVE it! The regime loves them so much, he gives them tax breaks when they do not ask for them, need them, or even want them. A lot of tax payers, even those who make big money would be willing to pay more in taxes to try and help bring down the largest deficit in our history. They also want to help in the war effort, to pay for equipment for our brave troops who are being asked to fight in a WAR where you can not tell friend from foe. The troops have been doing the best they can with what they have been given, and should be applauded for it. Because they have had, thee worse leadership in our history, and it starts from the very top and goes down.
At times I am ashamed to be an American, but that is not something I can wash off. I am an American, always have been , always will be. I am doing everything I know how to make America something to once again be proud of. I am proud of 99.9% of our armed service members. As I said, they do the best they can with what they are given. They are our Nations best, they deserve the best from us, the American people. They do not deserve an American president who treats his commander-in-chief roll as if he was some Hollywood tough guy and is never wrong. A leader who constantly refuses to admit when he is wrong, and to then change direction, is a leader who is always doomed to failure. This would also make them an extremely stupid leader.
After reading quite a few notes on our website blog, I must say, I think we are in the majority. The Senate bill, S2611 should die! Let us pray that it does, but to make sure I ask that you copy this, or write your own note to your State’s Democratic candidates. It could help save us. We need to let the Senators know they are being played by rove and cheney, this is another wedge issue. Remember bush does not have to run anymore, and he will do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to make sure we do not win back either house of Congress. Why would they do it, to make dam sure they will not be investigated. They fear the investigation power of either house of Congress more than anything else they can think of. They seem to be making Democrats look like they care more for illegal mexicans than the Americans that sent them to Washington in the first place. You must ask yourself this, are you/we ready to lose all chances of winning control of Congress over this Issue, this ONE Issue, or should we be smart and stand and promote the only safe thing both sides agree on, SECURITY FIRST. I am not saying we can not come back later and address the issue of 12 to 15 million illegal aliens already in our country. I feel that we need to stand for Security First, not just because that is the ONE THING we all agree on, but we can also beat bush, and his bobble heads over the head with the whole problem of illegal aliens When they bring up the, “But Clinton” argument, we need to once again remind them he is no longer President, and President Clinton never started talking about an amnesty that has made millions come in a mad rush to get in before we cut it off. Why haven’t they secured our ports and borders five long years after 9-11? Why was the priority placed on attacking Iraq, a country that apparently was No immediate threat to us but we were falsely lead to believe it was. Why wasn’t the priority on catching bin-laden in Afghanistan, sealing our borders, ports and going after people who have violated their visas? Why is bush and gonzales more concerned with investigating reporters, than charging known employers of illegal aliens? Bush has been using the power of his office for intimidation and personal political gain. How about going after known human traffic smugglers with criminal charges? How about going after known employers of illegal aliens, or people who forge documents for the illegal’s? Almost every fake document I have ever seen is so fake, even an untrained cop like me could tell the difference.
The forgers charge them hundreds of dollars for these fakes and they are worthless for the most part. Unless of course you have an employer who just does not care. I worked my whole career in Phoenix, Arizona, so I have seen a lot of fake papers. I do know for a fact the illegal aliens are litterly killing people, unintended, due to the MASSIVE Burden they are placing on the local schools, and local community hospitals. Due to the fact the schools are over loaded with Spanish only speaking kids, and not enough teachers to go around, kids fall threw bush’s no child left behind gimmick. The older kids just quit, after that it only takes a few months and they are in a gang and are out running the streets getting killed, and killing others. It is truly a horrible sight to see. The bleeding at the border must stop, if it doesn’t the ones who have been born here will never have the chance to catch up. Our social services will never have a chance to catch up. All this talk of amnesty, anything that will make law breakers legal ahead of others who have waited legally will do nothing but fuel a surge for more and more aliens to come here. All this talk will fuel more coming here than can be stopped by nonviolent means. And please, come on, Mexico is not our partner in anything, they are sucking Billions of dollars out of our economy and will do nothing but encourage this type of behavior and we know it.
Once again I ask you to write your States Democratic leaders, and Candidates. Tell them the Bleeding at the border MUST STOP First. After that, we can take our time to figure out what to do with the illegal aliens we already have. I have also told our leaders before no bill, is much better than a BAD BILL, Why? Because it can make our problems much worse. We can see everyday in Iraq what can happen when you do not know what you are doing. We see the unintended consequences of just going ahead with something because it sounds, or looks good on paper. Tell our leaders to Stop this bill!!! Senate bill, S2611 needs to burn, just like most all of bush’s ideas, They SUCK!!!!! Remember, just how many republicans in the Senate who voted for this trashy bill are actually up for re-election this year, how many??? the bush regime just raised this issue to make all us Democrats look bad to the American people, I am sure of it!!!
PS: I am Sorry if you do not agree with me. I assure you, no one, NO ONE wants to see Democrats win back both houses of Congress more than me. For the future of our kids, we need to know what bush, cheney, rumsfeld, rice, and others knew about Iraq and when they knew it. I am a firm believer in the very wise saying of, if you do not know your past, you are doomed to repeat it. There are many many times in history where this saying has been proven to be true. We do not want our kids to repeat any of bush’s mistakes, any of them and they are many. So please, stand up for your kids, stand up for the truth, lets take our Party back and beat these bunch of bobble heads in Congress. Anyone wanting to debate, again go to my web address Dwolfaz@netzero.com. As always, Thank You, for taking the time in reading such long drivel. I hope it has charged you up enough to act. I know in my 45 years there has not been a more important Congressional election. Please, Do your Duty as an American citizen and act! Do not sit silenced by the thought that you can not effect the out come of a politicians vote. I promise you, you can have profound effects........ MARK MY WORDS, and MARK THEM WELL, IF WE FIGHT THE republicans ON JUST THIS ONE issue FOR THE SAKE OF BEING ON THE OTHER SIDE, WE WILL LOSE BOTH...
I hear the bush propaganda machine, which I can not see how they say the things they do and not be owned by the bush’s. Who’s name are forever going to be poison in the free world. The man who supported torture, the man who signed off on secret prisons in other countries to make it easier to torture, the man who signed off on tapping Americans phones, and emails without warrants, a man who supported, or I should have said on all of them, authorized the NSA to do more than tapp phones without warrants and this country still does not know the extent of the illegal activity. I think at this moment only God, bush, cheney, rumsfeld, gonzales, rice, and maybe one or two more know all the illegal, and immoral activities this president has engaged in. All in the name of fighting a WAR ON TERROR. Not to forget this WAR, they constantly remind us about it, and the need for us to give up our liberties for a little security. When there is no evidence of either. We can say without doubt the fact we have not had a terror attack here in the USA since 9-11 is all luck! Without doubt, no question about it, any terrorist could have walked, swam, or entered one of our borders as easy as taking a brisk walk, or swim.
In short, bush, cheney, and rumsfeld are WAR CRIMINALS, and are as much, if not more responsible for atrocities in Iraq, and maybe Afghanistan as well. No One, ABSOLUTELY No One should blame the Marines, or any member of our Armed Services for the actions of a few men. I would be willing to bet almost anything they were very good men at heart, but the stress of combat got to be to much on them and they cracked. As a former police officer I can tell you, the most dangerous call a police officer can go on, is not the mythical domestic violence call, it is the man or woman who is acting mentally gone, for the lack of better grammar. We never know what is going on in their head. They can have something going on in their head that seems like reality to them, but is way off base. I know most people think it is a joke, but it isn’t, it is dangerously serious. Please do not get me wrong, domestic violence has the potential to be very dangerous, and may rank number two as the most dangerous. You may know cops who say I am wrong. However, if you ask the FBI who is the keeper of statistics on the subject, and a training course called “street survival”, who taught me that the most dangerous is the crazy man call. I refuse to say what year that was, due to the fact it will make me sound older than I think I am.
Wolf...good post and I agree 100%. I want Bush and his cabal out of power. But the Dean Democrats who have bought into this open border policy to aid the rich make them richer scares the hell out of me.
I don't blame the illegals, I blame the greedy US employers who should be paying more to hire Americans. And I blame Bush who has done nothing in 5 years to secure the borders and punish these employers. And most of all I blame Vicente Fox's government that refuses to stop corruption, make life and the economy in Mexico good enough to keep their people at home. Something like 40 families control 60% of Mexico's wealth. That is the problem, and that is what Bush is striving for in the USA.
I personally don't know much about Francine Busby or how she stands on the issues because her campaign thus far has been caked with mudslinging back and forth. But I do know Brian Bilbray and how much of an ignorant dickwad he truly is as far as his politics, and let me tell you...it's the same pile of Monkey crap that he offered up in his last forgettable campaign. I'm sure Busby will wind up winning on the 6th, but I can't vote for her because I don't reside in that District, and plus I have made it a point to not cast another vote for a Democrat until they back off on this Pro-Choice stand they hold so firmly. Especially any Roman Catholic candidates.
There is a quote that Busby said at a speech to primarily Hispanics that said that "you don't need papers to vote". If she said this and meant it she doesn't deserve to win, as much as I want Democrats to win the House.
I believe STRONGLY in integrity of the election process and these two things:
1/ voting machines must be accurate and with a paper audit trail.
2/ voters must be verified citizens.
The self interested partisan political machines believe strongly in only 1 of 2. Dems like #1, Pubs like #2. But we need both.
