Congressional aides say New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer has decided to abandon his plan to issue driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.
Officials familiar with the decision tell The Associated Press that Spitzer will meet Wednesday morning with New York's congressional delegation. Many of them have openly opposed the program and debate over the issue has spilled over into the presidential campaign of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The aides, who spoke on condition of anonymity because no formal announcement has been made, say that after the meeting, Spitzer will say he is shelving the plan and that immigration is a federal issue to be handled by Washington.
Don’t be so sure, after all, this is the People’s Republic of New York. They may be right, but they’re also (especially those in the unions) incredibly stupid when it comes to those they elect. Remember Alan Hevesi? Everyone thought he was toast— yet they re-elected him in a landslide only to see him resign.
But hey, don’t blame me, I knew better— I voted for Faso.
YES!!!! If the American People speak loudly enough, we WILL be heard!
God bless our democracy!
Actually, I think this was previously know...but, he’s put the nails on the coffin stooping to this.
>>Once you get outed as an illegal alien supporter, enabler and apologist, its pretty much over for you.<<
>>hes put the nails on the coffin stooping to this.<<
I hope you are both right! If you are - Hillary is through, too! She hasn’t got a clue what is going on in this country. I’ll bet she was shocked to find out that 77% of the voters in her state opposed Spitzer’s plan.
And, she’s been ‘outed’. She nailed her own coffin shut, didn’t she? (Oh, I hope, I hope........!)
One “minor” problem....the media is behind the Klintons. And if they refuse, it is even possible that some will be faced with that deathly Klinton “flu” or meet up with a “suicide” like Vince Foster....
Wonder how Tim Russert’s doing? ;-)
When it takes two weeks and six different positions to answer one question on immigration, its easier to understand why the Clinton campaign would rather plant their questions than answer them, said Bill Burton
The problem is, less and less people are voting for patriotic reasons.
More and more are voting for whichever candidate has spoken out on entitlement programs.
Most voters now vote for selfish reasons, wanting more “freebies” at taxpayers (not themselves) expense. The “most voters” who are like this are those who do not contribute toward the taxes demanded upon the citizenry, of course.
At the other spectrum, the corporations have the same type of “voting” mentality....I call it “corporate greedholder” mentality, where they also sell America and Americans down the river for whatever they can selfishly obtain, at taxpayer expense, as well.
Regardless of which spectrum, many voters have no concern about the good of this country, just what’s good enough for themselves.
Hillarious situation...will the boys be mean to her over this?
One could only hope....but, I still think this just another dog and pony show.
Hooray! A battle won but let's win the war. I'd rather believe that the 72% of New Yorkers who opposed illegal drivers' licenses stopped Spitzer in his tracks. To "credit" either of the Clintons or their cronies with the power to control the whole Dem. Party infuriates me, moreso if it's true..
What values have either of them given to improve our country?
“Congressional aides say New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer has decided to abandon his plan to issue driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants.”
Translation: The plan is still in the works. Bit its been delayed to a non-election year because the issue is interfering with Hillary’s campaign, and the Governor received an email with a picture of Vince Foster.
Next year, Amigos! Driver’s licenses for everyone!
Hillary supported his plan!!!
Before she didn’t support his plan!!!
Haven’t seen your name in a long time. Hope everything is well.
Do a forum check on my posting name.
I have been here, just probably on different themes.
I’m great and hope that you are okay.
Spitzer has body odor.
