2841 Rep. Pryce tongue tied on immigration?

To listen to Deborah Pryce's reelection ads, you'd think Ohio doesn't have an illegal immigration problem. She's actually got an opponent this round, but doesn't even address the issue that both Democrats and Republicans say they care about and want action. And she's stupidly campaigning for Democrat votes (that won't happen) by supporting stem cell research in her ads. That issue probably doesn't even register.

Not reform; enforcement. We've got a border. Enforce it. Protect it. How hard is that to say Ms. Pryce? Reform is just another word for more illegals at low wages to pad the sagging Social Security rolls in hopes there's someone around to clean the kitchens and bed pans of America. But guess what? With the unions recruiting them (they need members too), they won't even be available for the reason you're letting them in.

Pryce votes.

Seems to me like she is pretty strong on the issue...

See this:

Republican House leaders said that security measures must come before any temporary worker program or legalization.

"You have to stop the hemorrhaging before you heal the wound," said Rep. Deborah Pryce, chairwoman of the House Republican Conference.

And This:

Deborah Pryce (R‐OH)
“Over the past month, House Republicans have traveled around the country, examining the issue of border security and talking to the people who deal with the problem of illegal immigration every day.

“We learned a lot about our nation’s border security challenges and heard from
the people on the front lines about the new problems the Reid‐Kennedy immigration bill would create. The one thing we heard from the American people in every forum was that Congress must take action to improve border security now – and that is exactly what we will do.

“Next week, House leaders will convene a House Policy Committee meeting with these chairmen to hear their specific recommendations of legislative steps that can and should be taken this year to improve border security. We will then take action to get these measures to the president’s desk so he can sign them into law. Our nation is threatened every day by lax border security and immigration enforcement – and we must take action now to secure our borders and restore respect for our laws.”

And in her political ads? The ones the voters see?

"stop the hemorrhaging"
"examine the issue"
"improve border security"
"we then will take action"

I don't know what you think the word "strong" means, but I've written resumes with more action verbs than this.

Wish more people actually presented the facts like this, it makes it more easy to see things. Most people just quote their own opinion. You can see her votes, it lets you know what she feels, and if you don't agree. A much clearer picture.
