Audacity of Truth
California primary
My friend Cal over at California Conservative is blogging extensively (more here from Gary Gross) about Tuesday’s primary in California. Make sure to check in there for the latest news and info on the results.
I know there were at least two propositions on the table, and the person who will be running against Ahhhhnold this fall was picked (that race is very close, last I checked). I’ve got a lot of west coast readers, and hopefully some of ‘em will check in and give us their thoughts on the outcome of Tuesday’s primaries.
More: Iowa Voice has a few links up on election results as well.
Wed. AM Update I: In the race to fill the seat vacated by corrupt Republican Rep. Duke Cunningham, Republican Brian Bilbray defeated Democrat Francine Busby. Busby is the candidate best known for recently being caught saying to a group of Spanish-speaking people: “You don’t need papers for voting.”
Betsy Newmark on Bilbray’s win:
The spin will be about how close the election was and how much money the GOP had to pour into the district to keep what should have been a sure bet for them. Bilbray won a smaller percent of the vote than Cunningham had won. The GOP did have a scare put into them with this race.
However, I think that the election will send a different message. Bilbray ran a firm campaign in favor of beefing up border security. With Busby’s gaffe telling a supporter that “you don’t need papers to vote” this election was about immigration more than it was about Cunningham’s corruption. And that was not a winning message for the Democrat. Do you think that Bilbray is going to the Congress and going to vote for citizenship for illegal aliens? Not when he has another election coming up in five months. And other House members will take note.
Yep.
In other California primary news, state Treasurer Phil Angelides is the lucky one who will get to face Ahhhnold in this fall’s gubernatorial election.
Via the LATimes: Prop 82 – the ‘free’ universal pre-school proposition, failed. It looks like Prop 81 (library bond measure) failed as well.
Update II: Busby’s loss is being spun as a ‘moral victory’ by the DNC – sound familiar?

This is insane. Bush yet again stole this election! I did an exit poll and what did I find?
Respondents voted for Busby: 1
Respondents voted for Bilbray: 0
Yes, 100% voted for Busby! Then why did the election look nothing like my results? I’m not sure if it was Diebold, Haliburton, or George Bush himself, but one of them rigged this election.
I’m emailing the koskids now. Justice will be served!
The Democrats are sick puppies. They lost, period. They don’t get power or the seat in the CA-50 loss.
As Bugs Bunny would say, “What a bunch of Maroons!”

- Well it looks like Meathead will have to try another “vehicle” as they say in the back rooms of HollyWeird, since his proposition 82 got body slammed in no uncertain terms by the Cal voters.
- Poor Rob…. Still trying to find his ’stuck in the 60’s lost hippy grove, and this little jewel of a pure “redistribution of wealth” social welfare had it all. It even lets him play the “victim”, now that he and his pet idea got booted to the curb. I guess he doesn’t understand that the “rest of us” don’t care to raise the one’s his Libtard gaggle don’t manage to abort. Nice try though…..
- Oh…. and I left out the half a million babies we got to pay for the delivery for out of the state budget; the spawn of the “hardworking” illegals that inundated the state between ‘98 ands ‘02. There you go. Wonder how many more bllions that would have cost us.
- Give the working families those vouchers, and they won’t need welfare. But of course the Fed will never do that. Who in their right minds would send their kids to public school if they could afford an alternative, via the return of all the tax money they pump into Washington every year, that our elected Representatives use to prop up a toptally out of date, broken system. Stop the mass immigration of Illegals that bankrupt the state, and make it almost impossible to find affordable housing. Don’t need welfare, juat “tax-use-fair”.

I wish them more and more of these moral victories! Good for the Democrats! Can Republicans give the California Democrats about 200 more moral victories?
Nice to see two props that would’ve called for billions more in new spending were both defeated! Not the usual in California, where it’s always somebody else’s money being stolen for a good idea.
Jeepers, Bang, you’re making ST work too hard! Put on your glasses before you comment! Sheesh!
Nice comments, by the way!
- Yeh….I’ll have to pull in my posting spurs a bit ben… for reasons I still don’t understand, sometimes ST’s new threads don’t show up right away…. like theres “multiple” thread levels I can only access through the left hand column comment briefs, and then after awhile it straightens out.
- Maybe we’re all being “manipulated” by our beautiful hostess, which I’m sure her large goupe of male blog fans wouldn’t mind at all…. *smirkle*
- Bang
- Make that “group”, not “goupe”….I gotta switch to decaf….
Maybe your Nescafe is too weak?
“smirkle”, eh? I like that!
