Everyone keeps talking about Hillary's stance on illegal immigration. What is it? I haven't heard. At this point, if she really is wanting to put a stop to it, she will have a LOT of people backing her. Something the Republicans had better acknowledge soon.
You'd have to be a true fool to believe that. Her way of putting a "stop" to it would be exactly like her husband's: declare them all legal. That takes care of that "illegal" part. Don't forget, these are Dem voters we're talking about.
Hillary is sure getting a lot of gullible folks with this stuff. It was like her "soft on abortion" statement, which actually did nothing to change her position on abortion, and simply told conservatives they should work harder to make sure everybody in the country got on birth control virtually from the day they entered kindergarten. And conservatives swooned.
Like her husband, all of Hillary's positions are firmly anchored in Jello pudding. They can be moved hourly and such behavior is celebrated by the MSM.
Hillary is worried that taking too strong a stand on illegal immigration will alienate the Hispainic vote. She started making a view strong statements against it, but has since backed off. As you know, Hillary doesn't really take a strong stance on anything. She "triangulates," just like her husband. I had to laugh, Mary Ann Means wrote a pro Hillary article this week, claiming that Hillary's mutating abortion stance was not a flip-flop, that she was just trying to accomodate differing views. In actuality, all Hillary did in her statement regarding abortion, was to tell the pro-lifers that she feels their pain, but wasn't going to do anything about.
All the more reason for the President to play his cards close to his vest, need_a_sceen_name.
Democrats haven't an original thought in their collective heads regarding anything right now. The need for thr President to say something. So they may ridicule it, while using that very information as the center of their strategy.
President Bush is playing a very clever and effective "Texas Hold 'Em" or "Rope A Dope" strategery with the Dems. Knowing that sooner or later, they have to say or do something (Besides raising taxes) that people will buy in on.
Jack.
