Bi-Partisan Leaders Against Gov. Spitzer's Driver's License Plan

It's quite a list.

“The governor is not listening to the people; perhaps he may listen to the courts,” Merola said.

Not very likely.

>>Assemblyman David Townsend, R-Rome, said the Spitzer initiative is part of a conspiracy to get illegal immigrants registered as voters in time to vote for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., next year in the presidential primary and general election.<<

That is EXACTLY what this sham is...a huge voting bloc for Hillary.

Not just Hillary. Upstate’s depopulating so fast, NYS may actually lose a couple of House seats after the next census. Families and jobs are leaving. ‘Rats and RINOs have run this state into the ground. They need warm bodies. Fast.

Spitzer suggested Townsend's comments are illogical. "A driver's license is not a ticket to voting," Spitzer said.

I guess the Governor has never heard of "motor voter" laws?

He's lying through his teeth. A license is all you need to sign up to vote with motor voter. Spitzer is such lying, arrogant, scum.

You’re probably right. His aids don’t even respect subpoenas to testify. They’re a bad bunch. The only solution is to get rid of the rats in the assembly who support him and then go to work on him. NY can’t take this criminal for four years.

“There is no connection between immigration and terrorism,” said Sen. Jose Serrano, D-Bronx.

More revisionist history. None of the 19 terrorists on Sept. 11 were immigrants, and oh yea, illegal at that.

It was really disappointing to see only a couple of hundred people show up to protest. Given the gravity of the situation, there should have been tens of thousands. The supporters of the illegals will surely turn out a large rent a mob when it’s their turn.

To all Republican legislators: Remember—keep this BIPARTISAN. It is about security, not immigration. The law, not politics. Seek out Democrat allies whenever possible and do not use words like “liberal” or “left-wing” is describing Spitzer and his allies. That is what he wants you to do to rally his base. Deny him that easy escape. Stick to the issue and draw on the public’s deep concern. Mention this is a “bipartisan issue” that “crosses party lines”. State that Spitzer is trying to “politicize nation security”, and that “Democrats and Republicans oppose this cynical ploy.”

Sheldon Silver needs to take the shovel away from Spitzer before he buries himself alive. NY State needs to amend its constitution to allow recall referenda.

Due to motor voter, it is included on the application for a drivers licence http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/forms/mv44.pdf as you can see by going to this page.

"A driver's license is not a ticket to voting," Spitzer said.

"Pay no attention to that Motor Voter thingie," Spitzer did not continue to say. No idea that show your license, cast a provisional ballot, and disappear back into the weeds means the vote counted, whether the illegal voter is caught or not. Oh wait, he has a perfect idea of what that means.

Silver HATES the fact that Spitzer is getting the spotlight. The two most powerful men in Albany are Sheldon Silver and Joe Bruno... Both of them are at war with Spitzer over various reasons...

Why not just let the whole damn world vote in US elections then? Why are the people from China, Somalia, and Pakistan any less "deserving" to vote in American elections than illegal immigrants from Mexico and Central America? And if they can all vote, why not extend all of the other benefits?? Come on folks, let's get with it!

All turd-worlders should be eligible for US welfare

I have an idea for spreading more freedumb. See, some impoverished folks get to be born in nations connected by land to the biggest nation of bleeding heart liberals that ever existed. They can illegally enter America, never pay taxes, mooch off government benefits for the rest of their lives, have many children, and commit the crimes that Americans don't want to commit - all in relative safety. Tell me, can 20 million+ poor wretches from Africa or Asia do the same thing? How are they supposed to get their reward for breathing air? Billions of people live in poverty and need American welfare. $30 billion for AIDS in Africa isn't going to cut it, and granting amnesty+path to citizenship to tens of millions of illegal-immigrant Mexicans falls short by far.

Anyway. I mean, the far-away people are just as entitled to these government benefits as border-hopping foreign nationals, right? I am sure that there are jobs that Americans only sorta want to do that these other poor people would be more than willing to do for $4 an hour - it is just that the geographic realities make it really hard. And let's not forget about the "sweat shop" labor and outsourcing of jobs - if these foreign nationals are indirectly working for America, should they not get things like food stamps, welfare, free primary and secondary education, racist university scholarships, pathways to citizenship (so they can vote Democrat), and free healthcare?

Oh, you didn't know every American already has free health-care? All you have to do is show up at the emergency room of any hospital and they are forced to care for you, citizen or not, whether you can pay or not (and even if what ails you is not an emergency). Everything from the sniffles on up. Sometimes the money-tree owning federal government steps in with medicare/medicaid to repay the hospital, sometimes it does not. But they have to be careful - it seems a lot of hospitals in certain cities are closing down from what the right-wing extremists in charge, with their fancy-pants economics, call "uncompensated cost-overruns" (code for "corporate greed" or something I am sure).

There I go again, off track. Anyway, I calculate that it will only cost America $5x10^13 to provide this new entitlement program for every turd-worlder (per year), roughly $166,000 per American per year. Throw in some UN assistance, and we might be able to drop that down to $165,000. Come on federal government, you keep spending money like FDR/Johnson at a bad idea factory. What, afraid it will destroy America? Since when has that ever been a concern? Get on it! This should be running smoothly by the time the Hildabeast and Captain Sink get back from the trailer park.

That reminds me - what about diversity? There are so many tropical diseases and primitive traditions that America is lacking, and so many languages I do not have to choose from when I call up my representatives to implore them to stop telling me to go away and die quietly - at this rate, it is going to take more than 20 years for America to balkanize. This is unacceptable!

TRULY Universal suffrage in 2008! (destroy America faster)

No he doesn’t, we need to let Spitzer keep digging. He’s showing no signs at all of stopping. Rats are already saying that 2 races downstate are not at risk and that eventually so could Hillary if she doesn’t renounce this.

The illegal immigration issue and all things surrounding it are the best way to victory in 08.
