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.
Oooops my bad ... no follow-ups allowed.
She will say that she agreed with the IDEA but ... but ... she did not agree with actually impleminting the the IDEA!
For 100 years before Prince Elliot became Gov, a fairgoer could bring a cooler full of beers to the fair. I personally do not need to bring beer but I know several people who do not want to pay $5.00 per cup of beer. Spitzer also banned smoking or the sale of ciggs at the fair. From what I hear, the vendors were very unhappy with the situation at the fair this year.
Mucho Caliente!
Mucho Caliente!
Notice how it went away just before the next Dem Debate.
Hillary is saddened!
Looks like Spitzer found a horse’s head on his bed this morning.
Nothing like giving up your true belief to support possible damage to the Clintons. New Yorkers need to wake up and see this crap.
Read the “replies”!
There is NO cognitive brain operating on said website.
I find it thoroughly embarassing that these folks live in the town of power and have the brain capacity of my lovely Dog. Not only that.. but these A$$holes vote and are unionized!
Good Go..
WE are in trouble!
Okay, so what about the other states that allow illegals to have licenses? Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah and Washington.
Could have told the idiot, not that he’d have listened, that amnesty is radioactive even among liberals. We didn’t kill amnesty on our own this year, we worked together with liberals to kill it. Though conservatives DID, for the most part, lead the charge.
This is one of the only bi-partisan issues, so it would figure elected politicians would find themselves on the wrong end.
We went after Bush/mcCain and Lindsey, your base went after you and Hillary. Your ratings suffer everytime you try it. the CITIZENS of ths country are united in their opposition to amnesty.
Peter King has a bill coming out to ban all states from issuing licenses to illegal aliens. Let's see if the democrats in the House try bottling it up because this isn't going away now.
THANK GOD!!!
Maybe he was listening to the people of New York, more than 75% of whom said SCREW YOU SPITZER!!
What about states rights? If the Fed can regulate drivers licenses it can regulate firearms, etc.
Hillary sure has a lot of pull, it makes me sick what they will do to help her. That way, if he drops it, it will seem like a moot point to keep bringing it up. This is one big reason not to like Hillary, she is evil. Too many are willing to bend over backwards for her when they shouldn’t.
He doesn't give a rat's a** about the people of New York. The Clintons made him an offer he couldn't refuse (like a pair of cement shoes).
Their alternative is to be Vince-Fostered.
His major accomplishments this year:
1)Tailing Joe Bruno
2)A well thought out plan to get illegals to vote Democratic under the guise of license expansion.
Can’t wait to see what 2008 brings.
