OmniTalk! She can take all sides of every position at the same instant.

An incredible thing to observe. I'm extremely impressed.

She's for them and against them.

She has never come out for them...

It's a beautiful thing!

Don't let the truth get in your way

And make me smarter. Or as we say in Boston, smahtah.

She has said, quite clearly, that she did not feel that it was the best option, but she understood Spitzer's attempt to do something, since the government had dropped the ball. She reaffirmed her support of HIM, when he decided to dump the idea.

Russert: Thank you, Brian.
Senator Clinton, Governor of New York Eliot Spitzer has proposed giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. He told the Nashua, New Hampshire, Editorial Board it makes a lot of sense.

Why does it make a lot of sense to give an illegal immigrant a driver's license?

Clinton: Well, what Governor Spitzer is trying to do is fill the vacuum left by the failure of this administration to bring about comprehensive immigration reform. We know in New York we have several million at any one time who are in New York illegally. They are undocumented workers. They are driving on our roads. The possibility of them having an accident that harms themselves or others is just a matter of the odds. It's probability.

So what Governor Spitzer is trying to do is to fill the vacuum. I believe we need to get back to comprehensive immigration reform because no state, no matter how well intentioned, can fill this gap. There needs to be federal action on immigration reform

Russert: Senator Clinton, I just want to make sure of what I heard. Do you, the New York senator, Hillary Clinton, support the New York governor's plan to give illegal immigrants a driver's license?

You told the New Hampshire paper that it made a lot of sense. Do you support his plan?

Clinton: You know, Tim, this is where everybody plays "gotcha." It makes a lot of sense. What is the governor supposed to do? He is dealing with a serious problems. We have failed. And George Bush has failed. Do I think this is the best thing for any governor to do? No. But do I understand the sense of real desperation, trying to get a handle on this? Remember, in New York, we want to know who's in New York. We want people to come out of the shadows.

He's making an honest effort to do it. We should have passed immigration reform.

This is not an issue for a national candidate to take a position on. Those that do, will go down in flames in the GE. End of story

:eyes:

Hedge Fund Johnny does not have a defender in Manny Goldstein! I was just pointing out that he's not nearly as skilled in the art as is Senator Clinton.

to his speech about immigration and driver's licenses:

"Earlier in the day, asked about illegal immigration, he drew the loudest applause of his entire event in Charles City when he declared "you should learn to speak English if you want to be an American citizen."

Edwards uses codes to appeal to white folk with race issues.

Maybe? ROFL

A joke... "You first, John." (Poking fun at Edwards sometimes hard to understand drawl, and it's relation to learning English)

I've been down with a nasty cold for the past few days and have spent way too much time online lol.

I could use the money.

Let the people of Iowa see it in black and white over at their favorite breakfast coffee shop.
