Busby on defense, says she misspoke



By Dani Dodge
UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

June 3, 2006

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.

The recording, which was played yesterday on Roger Hedgecock's radio talk show, jolted the campaign.

Busby, a Cardiff school board member, is in a tight race with Republican Brian Bilbray, a congressman-turned-lobbyist, who has based his campaign on a tough anti-illegal-immigration stance. Busby has focused her campaign on ethics reform. The two are vying to replace Randy “Duke” Cunningham, who was jailed after pleading guilty to taking bribes.

Busby said she was invited to the forum at the Jocelyn Senior Center in Escondido by the leader of a local soccer league. Many of the 50 or so people there were Spanish speakers. Toward the end, a man in the audience asked in Spanish: “I want to help, but I don't have papers.”

It was translated and Busby replied: “Everybody can help, yeah, absolutely, you can all help. You don't need papers for voting, you don't need to be a registered voter to help.”

Bilbray said at worst, Busby was encouraging someone to vote illegally. At best, she was encouraging someone who is illegally in the country to work on her campaign.

“She's soliciting illegal aliens to campaign for her and it's on tape – this isn't exactly what you call the pinnacle of ethical campaign strategy,” Bilbray said. “I don't know how she shows her face.”

The two later met in a debate in Carlsbad last night.

Earlier, San Diego Minutemen volunteer Anthony Porrello said he got the tape from an an anonymous Minuteman and passed it on to the news media and talk radio. News of the gathering had circulated among local Minutemen before the meeting, according to William Griffith, the independent candidate in the race who has been endorsed by the San Diego Minutemen.

He attended, but did not hear the statement. He said he was in the back of the room.

“I heard what I expected to hear from a Democrat who supports amnesty,” he said. Busby says she doesn't support amnesty, but backs the comprehensive plan pushed by U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., that includes opening a path to citizenship for people in the United States illegally if they pay penalties and abide by certain conditions.

Busby said that Republicans are now twisting her words. She does not in any way support or advocate that illegal immigrants vote, she said.

“I was clarifying the question that was being asked in Spanish and then stated that you do not have to be a registered voter to help the campaign because there were many people who appeared to be to be under 18 in the group who wanted to volunteer,” she said in a statement. “I'm not surprised that the Republican Party is making this last-minute, desperate ploy and it is absolutely false.”

"Misspoke" is just politician speak for damage control when getting caught saying things that were not intended for the other side and non-partisans to hear.   I love it when this kind of stuff is caught on tape or video.  Prior to the age of the internet and alternative media, the liberal press would have covered her tracks by simply ignoring the story.  The famous lie by omission tactic.  No more.

Make no mistake, the Democrat Party as a whole sees the fast track to citizenship as the fast track for them to regain power on every state and federal level.  Seeing as the 2000 and 2004 were close elections, they don't need more than a few million voters (who will logically vote for them to get "free" benefits).  And they are aided by the usual RINOs.  None of these rats can admit they are international socialist in public.  Like I said, the internet and alternative media, plus the WOT,  has caused enough voters to switch sides at the ballot box.

For Republicans,  I don't understand how they benefit with all this cheap labor as always claimed.  I don't see illegal aliens working in the defense, pharmaceuticals, health care, law firms, utilities, financial institutions, major retail outlets, education, real estate, civil service, auto industry, or hi-tech.  Where I do see them working is in agriculture, fast food, hotels, and construction.  And most of these companies appear to be a-political, they support anyone who will give them a tax break.  And their owners vary in the political spectrum.

What this country needs is a viable third party.  One who believes America and Americans first.  One who truly believes in not pillaging the American taxpayer.  The Libertarians are not it.  Their drug and open border policies really turn me off.

Certain Republicans, yes.  As a whole, no.  The Senate is a lost cause due to the RINOs who will side with the socialist any chance they get.  For all intensive purposes, the Democrats run this branch of Congress.  The House is where this amnesty/welfare  bill needs to die.  It is going to be instructive who votes for this.  And I can tell you most will have the (D) next to their names.  Like I said, we need a viable 3rd party.  Spare me about the Libertarians.

How does allowing illegals to become legal benefit the Republicans???  The poor will always vote for those who promise them benefits at the expense of the taxpayer.  That is how the Democrats stay in power.

They do.  Problem is the media won't report it.  Not news worthy.  Harms the agenda of getting Democrats elected.  

It is a sad state of affairs when most of the media is openly siding with one political party.  It takes people outside the ABC/CBS/NBC/NYT/CNN/MSNBC/etc  to get this information out to the public.  So much for the guardians of truth, eh?

We need Representatives that represent US, the people who elected them.  We don't need them being an "advocate" for people who are not even in this country legally.
