I’m not kidding either. We have all the election fraud accusations now finally being exposed as being connected to illegal immigration, courtesy of Democratic Francine Busby. Running for the 50th District, she uttered the words that will likely polarize her opponents and haunt her for some time.
(note the article below is actually written by a friend of mine…I knew when I started blogging I would end up quoting her sooner or later. Hiya Dani!?
Busby on defense, says she misspoke
If an election can turn on a sentence, this could be the one: “You don’t need papers for voting.”
On Thursday night, Francine Busby, the Democratic candidate for the 50th Congressional District, was speaking before a largely Latino crowd in Escondido when she uttered those words. She said yesterday she simply misspoke.
But someone taped it and a recording began circulating yesterday. After she made that statement at the meeting, Busby immediately said: “You don’t need to be a registered voter to help (the campaign).”
She said that subsequent statement was to clarify what she meant.

With every liberal pundit screaming to the rafters how An Inconvenient Truth is the must see movie of not just the year, but of the century, my pessimism made me wonder why. From what I know of his presentations, Gore’s typical script is a wash of cliche’s that use as much rhetoric and assumption as they do evidence.
One reviewer seems to agree:
GORE’S HOT AIR- FLAKY FLICK SUFFERS FROM ‘TRUTH’ DECAY
AL GORE’S global-warming documentary, "An Incon venient Truth," is sure to get an Oscar nomination for Best Documentary, but Gore should campaign for Best Actor, too.
Avoiding the usual vein-popping diatribes, he comes across as learned, calm and folksy. But much of what Gore says in this slide show he gives to people whose minds are not yet fully formed (undergraduates, actors) is absurd, and his assertions often contradict each other.
He implies that no reputable scientists dispute anything he says - basically, that the ice caps are melting and people on the 50th floor of the Empire State Building had better learn to swim. But there is wide disagreement about whether humans are causing global warming (climate change preceded the invention of the Escalade) and about whether we should be worried about the trends. Look carefully at Gore’s charts and you’ll see that the worst horrors take place in the future of his imagination.
