Another take....

Embattled Spitzer drops plan to let illegal aliens get driver's licenses

Interesting that Spitzer went down to DC to do this.

The FIRST question Blitzer needs to ask sHillary in the debate Thursday night. Do you or do you not agree with YOUR state’s Governor on his plan to withdraw his plan?
This should be fun.

Its all about increasing the voter base for Hitlery. Once you have a license, you are a defacto citizen.

He did NOT KILL IT he “tabled” it.. meaning when it is no longer an issue for Hillary he will bring it back.

Look....This was Hillary's plan to start with. It's been upped to the National Level. She has NY without the immigrants. She wants some other states to grab unto this and stick to it.

She was adamant when ID was mentioned as a voting necessity. She said it was "inconvenient".

Guess what. I've been inconvenienced. I had to get a SS card. I have to file taxes every year. I have to pay for every lazy SOB and immigrant who contribute nothing because gosh darn...I work and not under the table. Oh, yeah...I pay my own health insurance, too.

“Opponents, including Mayor Bloomberg, a Spitzer ally, feared, the plan would encourage illegal immigrants to flock to New York.”
Illegal immigrants in New York - unimaginable.

Just in deference to him, I wanted to mention that Assemblyman Rivera used to be an NYPD detective and undercover narcotics cop in the DEA.

Michael Balboni was given the job of Homeland Security NY State head by who else but Spitzer?

WBEN, Buffalo, announcer just said that Spitzer took just one minute, fifteen seconds in his speech to say that the federal government had lost control of our borders, and his plan would have saved it.

This was Hillary's plan to start with.

I'm with you on that. I believe Spitzer made a deal with the Clintons that he'd deliver NY for them, no matter what it took. In a blue state like this they probably all figured in their calculating, scheming way there'd be some blowback but that it would fade quickly. But that obviously didn't happen.

Wonderful, he sounds like a cop who’s gone bad, William Bratton style.

I certainly hope this does not help him in the polls.

Yo, Rivera! I think it was the polls of US citizens that brought about this step back into reality.

Excuse me, but about all this "caving". Last I heard, the governor was supposed to abide by the people's wishes.

Now someone needs to ask Hillary if she agrees with Spitzers reversal!

You better run that question by her staffers first.

Perhaps, t., but even the most loudmouthed obnoxious pol can learn to shut his mouth to get what he wants, then will brag about it later.
