It’s dark out. A grungy-looking band of (presumably Hispanic) immigrants enters through a hole in a chain-link fence, next to a lit-up “Enter Here” sign. The U.S. Border Patrol is there, but can only look on in frustration. The immigrants, to their profound surprise and delight, are greeted with balloons, fireworks, a marching band, a bilingual welcome banner, and a giant check made out to “All Illegal Aliens” for “A Lot of Taxpayer Money.” They are driven away in limousine, giant check in tow, as they high-five and fist-pump out the windows.
“Charlie Melancon — thanks to him, we might as well put out a welcome sign for illegal aliens. Melancon made it easier for illegals to get taxpayer-funded benefits and actual welfare checks. . . . It’s no wonder illegals keep coming and coming and coming,” says the narrator of the 30-second campaign ad, titled “Welcome Prize.” Immigration advocates called it the “most racist ad of 2010,” and demanded an apology from the lawmaker who approved it — incumbent senator David Vitter (R., La.), who went on to beat former representative Melancon (D., La.) by nearly 20 points.

GOP does not STAND FOR anything!
Lucky they aren’t some errant Marine in Mexico.
That’s precisely why the Stupid Party will not win the Senate and will end up losing House seats. Because they don’t stand for a damn thing.
Oh there IS a stand up guy, but the media is not concerned with him, because he is the old-fashioned extreme.
I refer to a Mr. Maness.
We shall see what happens. Sure, there might be a runoff. Sure, there are puddingheads screaming that a vote for ‘x’, and not the media anointed one, would mean she wins. But, every vote for anybody else, is not a vote for hurricane mary.
51% gets the runoff.
