Beauprez, Holtzman vie for anti-immigrant vote

According to Republican candidate for governor Both Ways Bob Beauprez, he totally whupped Marc Holtzman in yesterday's GOP debate. And according to me, I'm totally better looking than Brad Pitt.

I wasn't at the debate. But I did find it interesting that Both Ways Bob's press release takes a moment off from patting him on the back to zero in on the issue of immigration. "Holtzman spent much of the debate hurling desperate and baseless attacks on immigration, ignoring Beauprez's proven reform record and his backing from immigration stalwart Tom Tancredo."

Beauprez's blog also highlights his cuddly relationship with Mad Tom. Meanwhile, Holtzman's own website is currently headlined, "Click here to join Marc's campaign against illegal immigration."

From the attitude of the GOP, you'd think that we'd found Osama, reconstructed Iraq, fixed healthcare, and found an efficient way to run our cars on a blend of soybeans and gorgonzola. You'd also think we all lived in Arizona.

There's a classic scene in The Simpsons where Mayor Quimby quiets a mob by telling them, "People your taxes are too high because of illegal immigrants!" Apparently the GOP is basing its entire strategy in 2006 off this single moment.

Oh well. At least I know Karl Rove and I watch the same cartoons.

Hat-tip to a poster at Coloradopols for pointing to Beauprez's press release.
