Democratic members of Congress, having watched Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton stumble on the question of whether states should give driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, are growing increasingly agitated over Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s plan to do so and are calling for him to shelve the idea.

They don’t want to tip their hand on immigration until after the elections.

Statistically speaking it’s bound to happen.

Even a stopped clock is right 2 seconds out of 86,400 every day.

Indeed he is. Lou blasts both RATs and RINOs on lack of border/port security and the illegal alien invasion, and has done so for a long time. Lou pulls in ratings for CNN, and that is probably the only reason why they keep him. He’s a real maverick in the midst of the usual lefties that are on CNN.

They're worried sick. Amnesty has been shot down repeatedly in Congress. If they want to commit political suicide, just bring it up in an election year.

I absolutely LOVE rage-a-holic leftist thug Spitzer. He lives to cause trouble and bully people around.

As such, he is a Republican vote-getting gold mine.

Spitzer may turn out to be even worse than Mario Cuomo and that is saying a lot!

Folks if the GOP does not take this illegal issue and rum with it, they deserve to lose in 08. It is sitting there for the taking. You know the Democrats cannot embrace the issue because they want the Hispanic vote.

Between them, the 9-11 hijackers had 63 validly issued driver's licenses.

Eight of them were even registered to vote in American elections.

Under federal "motor voter" law, anyone receiving a driver's license automatically may register to vote.

Nothing but the "honesty" of illegal aliens prevents them from breaking one more law, and voting in American elections.

And Hillary Clinton thinks we should give driver's licenses to illegal aliens.

I wonder why?

No problem at all flipping over to CNN. I know what they are...typical MSM, and they don't much like us. BUT, when they have something worth watching (Lou, e.g.), I watch it. You have to pick and choose.

It has been a long time since FOX meant anything special to me as a conservative. In fact, I have a certain bitterness toward them, because I feel that they built their success appealing to conservaties. But once established as a big success, they "forgot who brung them."

It is all about bucks and if FOX could make a few more bucks by adding Michael Moore to the lineup, you'd be watching the promos right now. I am BITTER toward them.

Spitzer is a Republican vote-getting gold mine.

One Albany Repub said Spitzer is so good at getting Repubs votes, he should be named strategy chair of their party.

They will get points for saying this, but right after the election they will find a sneaky way to accomplish the same thing.

Exactly....We told them years ago but they refused to listen.

why can’t these people just use their REAL identification instead of stealing the citizens? Mexican licenses and vehicles are perfectly legal in the US.
