Why does Mrs. Clinton want driver's licenses for illegal aliens?
Sen. Hillary Clinton was asked during a debate this week if she supported New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's plan to give driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. At first she seemed to endorse the idea, then claimed, "I did not say that it should be done, but I certainly recognize why Governor Spitzer is trying to do it."
The next day she took a firmer stand (sort of) by offering general support for Gov. Spitzer's approach, but adding that she hadn't studied his specific plan. She should, and so should the rest of us. It stops just short of being an engraved invitation for people to commit voter fraud.
The background here is the National Voter Registration Act, commonly known as "Motor Voter," that President Bill Clinton signed into law in 1993. It required all states to offer voter registration to anyone getting a driver's license. One simply fills out a form and checks a box stating he is a citizen; he is then registered and in most states does not have to show any ID to vote.
But no one checks if the person registering to vote is indeed a citizen. That greatly concerns New York election officials, who processed 245,000 voter registrations at DMV offices last year. "It would be [tough to catch] if someone wanted to . . . get a number of people registered who aren't citizens and went ahead and got them drivers' licenses," says Lee Daghlian, spokesman for New York's Board of Elections.

I support digital thumb print scanning that wouldn’t be used to record anything about you other than you have already voted in this election, so you can’t vote again.

“Drivers Licenses for Illegal Aliens: Recipe for Voter Fraud
Posted on October 31st, 2007
By Fred in Statements, Immigration
While Hillary Clinton was speaking out both sides of her mouth at last nights debate over the issue of drivers licenses for illegal immigrants, what went unsaid is that this is a recipe for increased voter fraud. Under the federal Motor Voter law (the National Voter Registration Act of 1993), states must provide applicants for drivers licenses with the opportunity to register to vote.”
Yet another reason he’s the candidate we should all rally behind. Every other candidate always goes for the 2nd or 3rd best argument against liberal policies, Fred consistently puts forth our best arguments.

The hil wants it because she is desperate to get elected. She knows damned well that there will be massive voter fraud. She doesn’t care. For her, the end justifies the means.

Bracewell & Giuliani Firm Advises Cintra in First Privatization of Toll Road in Texas
DALLAS (March 1, 2007) Bracewell & Giuliani LLP (Texas-based law firm with global connections) advised Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transporte, S.A., a Spanish transportation company, in its successful bid to develop State Highway 121 into a toll road through Collin and Denton counties ("trade road" is four football fields wide).
The award to Cintra, approved by the Texas Transportation Commission, is the first privatization of a Texas toll road. Bracewell is acting as project counsel to Cintra with respect to the 50-year concession from the Texas Department of Transportation. Cintra will pay a $2.1 billion upfront and annual lease payments totaling $700 million. "Cintra was awarded this project because of its proven expertise and competitive proposal," said Thomas O. Moore, partner with Bracewell & Giuliani. "This is the largest transportation deal of 2007. This is one of only five deals in the country." http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1803916/posts
Honestly fellows, if there were such a thing as voter fraud, illegal aliens voting, crooked elections, and all that sort of positively unsporting stuff going on in this country, don't you think our devoted RNC would have done something about it, or said something, or promise "to look into it?" Why, that's why we pay them!
I think, if such a low-down dirty thing existed, in which the Democrats stole the vote in major cities, flipping a state's electoral vote to Gore, Kerry, or anyone else, or corrupted the vote in a county costing that Rossi fellow the governorship out in WA, that our fearless leader GW, would have jumped all over it and corrected the situation. Don't you?
If there were such a thing as "Voter Fraud," our Republican leaders certainly would have backed up B-1 Bob Dornan.
BTW, how thge hell can we trust all of these "Death Bed Conversions" on Immigration and Voter Fraud, when Fred, Mitt, Rudy, John, and even Holy Duncan, Apostle of the True Conservatives, have never said a GD word about these topics before now? I'm confused. Now these guys suddenly wake up? When the country is overrun with 20 Million + illegal aliens doing everything but running for president themselves ... not to mention their citizen anchor babies and citizen grandbabies ... turning the USA into if not yet a banana republic, a northern outpost of Latin America, with a soon to be 30% Hispanic population?
Good question. Let’s have a reference, Ok?
Because if true, it must be used in the campaign.
I live in King County too and was shocked to my core to see the blatant vote fraud in 2004 as well as the aftermath trial, excuses and coverups.
Sharkansky (http://soundpolitics.com) is a genius when it comes to forensic investigations of vote fraud. But it is so absurd that the current state laws require that vote fraud be determined before the election (such as duplicate or false registrations) rather than after. Vote fraud detected after the election cannot invalidated, therefore blatant ballot stuffing, even if witnessed and taped cannot be invalidated once those false ballots are in the machines and counted.
Sound Politics is indeed a good site. On the face of it Prop. 1 might address that problem, but given the way the rats are allowed to "keep counting ballots (most of which mysteriously appear late in the counting) until they get the desired outcome" I worry that they will even be able to keep an "elected" Elections Commissioner in their pocket.
The Democrats have for decades made election fraud a time-honored tradition, and it seems that everybody knows it. Queen Christine literally succeeded at what Al Gore attempted, but failed to do. It was done right in our faces, and later rubbed in by a earring wearing Democrat judge.
Since Republicans are generally at the recieving end of this, I can't understand why Republicans don't make it a front burner issue. As of this morning (courtesy of Quinn in #25) I know of only one Republican who ever mentions it.
I can't for the life of me understand why our local rats are not wearing ACORN around their necks like an albatross.
My “paste” in #35 was from another post. I apologize.
“I certainly recognize why Governor Spitzer is trying to do it.”
Duh, Why, Hillary?
On the national level it does seem that way but in NY at least the GOP is all over the democrats thankfully. And the dems aren't too happy about it. I'm betting next year will be even worse for them if they keep supporting Spitzer.

Dear Friend,
As you know, Governor Spitzer is planning to give driver’s licenses to illegal aliens beginning next year.
Yesterday, the Commissioner of the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles admitted that illegal aliens could use these driver’s licenses to buy guns.
I believe this is wrong and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is opposed to the Governor’s plan.
When asked if this would allow an illegal alien to purchase a gun, Governor Spitzer’s own Commissioner of Motor Vehicles said, “yeah, I guess it proves who they are.”
Like the vast majority of New Yorkers, I don’t support the Governor’s plan and I’m concerned that it will compromise our security.
For more information about the legislation I passed to stop Governor Spitzer from giving driver’s licenses to illegal aliens, please click here.
Sincerely,
I received this email this morning, my reply was that I am more concerned about motor-voter fraud.
thanks, bfl
