Voters in the town of Herndon, Virginia delivered a stunning rebuke today to elected officials who opened a taxpayer funded day labor center for illegal aliens in the town last year. Incumbent mayor Michael O'Reilly lost to Steven DeBenedittis while five of the six at-large town council seats went to candidates opposing the day labor center.
Town Council winners are Bill Tirrell, incumbent Dennis Husch, Connie Haines-Hutchison, Charlie Waddell and Dave Kirby.
Only one of three incumbents on the council who supported the day labor center won re-election, J. Harlan Reece. The other two who went down in defeat were Carol Bruce and Steven Mitchell. Day labor center supporter Jorge Rochac also lost.
With its proximity to Washington, D.C., Herndon has captured national attention as a focal point of the debate over border security and the millions of illegal aliens lving and working in communities all across the country.
The local election came one day after a nationwide protest and boycott effort in support of legalizing illegal aliens.
Turnout in the election was higher than in past years, at 26%. The margin of defeat for the incumbent mayor was 130 votes out of 2,596 votes cast.
The nearly clean sweep by candidates opposed to coddling illegal aliens with taxpayer funds should serve as a warning to incumbents everywhere.
LOL!!!!!! Eeeeeeeeeeeeee
LOL!!!!!!
That little jester of yours is SO stolen! Thanks!
Yes they do!!! It is a lot easier to print out a Bush "peso" than try to rack you brains coming up with the things you want to say. The peso says it all. We can thank FREEPER "Prime Choice" of sacredcowburgers.com for creating the Bush peso.
LOL I snagged that link up like breakfast sausages.
Dave Kirby's position looks a little stronger;
Just think, grams.....you couldn't have stolen it if you weren't being so....blond in the first place, LOL!!! : )
I'm somewhat surprised at this outcome - but even some of my liberal collegues don't like what's going on out there (around here). This election outcome will get alot of attention - even if the press doesn't play it up. I can hardly wait to hear Chris Core in the morning !!!
LOL!!!
Inside the beltway and in the White House, the response was unanimous...
"D'OH!"
Blonde.
I am blonde.
That other person who you'll note I've not pinged is Blond.
She'll read this though and I'll get mine. *sigh*
uh oh....then you'll be, like, so busted! :)
I'm not (that) scared.
*shaking for you*
You're misleading by mentioning the Congressional district as Republican meaning Herndon was also Republican.
Herndon went clearly for Kerry and Kaine (gov) both Democrats in the last two elections. It has changed from a Republican area to a clear Democrat majority over the last 20 years.
In this non-partisan election, people from both sides of the aisle decided they had had enough, and threw the bums out.
It's a lesson for the rest of America. Nuts to the ruling class - we can win this battle against the alien invasion if you try.
SI, SE PUEDE!
Whoo Hoo! Good news!
LOL!!! (Stole that one, too!)
