Meg-abuck$ Whitman flip-flops on immigration
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/07/16/MNSG1EEV3R.DTL

Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman, who recently campaigned with GOP former Gov. Pete Wilson as being "tough as nails" on illegal immigration, could alienate her crucial conservative base, some party members say, by declaring she's in lockstep on the issue with her rival: former Gov. Jerry Brown.

In an opinion piece published this week in a Spanish-language publication in Southern California, Whitman wrote that there is "very little" that she disagrees with Brown on concerning the hot-button issue of illegal immigration....

Maldonado is particularly concerned about the tuition issue, and said he wants to have more conversations with Whitman about what he feels are a myriad of benefits in educating such immigrant students. "I think in her heart, she's there," he said.

If so, that would present a contradiction to Whitman's statements in the GOP primary race and in her campaign literature, which boldly declared: "Meg will ban undocumented students from attending California's higher education system."


:rofl:

2. Yep, Megabuck's campaign is already starting to unravel under the weight of its own lies.
This will only get worse as November approaches. She's an idiot, an amateur, and it's really starting to show.

4. That AND some of Brown's recent ads have been pretty damn good.

5. Meg appears naive when it comes to political jousting...her arrogance/wealth is no match for Reason,
Sanity, and Clarity.....

And political experience

Brown will bring her Down
