Spitzer: On second thought...

I thought New York Governor Eliot Spitzer was an idiot for attempting to grant New York State drivers licenses to illegal immigrants. But, when he reversed himself and withdrew the plan. Well, I thought that maybe there was hope for him as he semmed to have heard and responded to the outrage from New York citizens to the plan. Then yesterday the bomb shell dropped the Spitzer was involved as a client of a prostitution ring. I think I was right the first time.

Spitzer to drop drivers license for illegals

"ALBANY, Nov. 13 — Gov. Eliot Spitzer is abandoning his plan to issue driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, saying that opposition is just too overwhelming to move forward with such a policy."-New York Times

Well, there may be hope for Spitzer after all. At least there is hope for our democracy. Listening to the people and not rewarding those here illegally is a good policy. Let's hope that more of the politicians in Washington get the message that New York Governor Spitzer got and act accordingly.

Clinton: Drivers licenses for illegals complicated. Huh?

Now Bill Clinton is trying to defend the indefensible:

"At the end of a televised Democratic presidential debate last week, Hillary Rodham Clinton hedged on whether she supported a plan by her home state governor, New York's Eliot Spitzer, to issue licenses to illegal immigrants. Republicans — and her rivals for the Democratic nomination — quickly criticized her answer, accusing her of trying to have it both ways.
But Bill Clinton said the issue is too complicated for sound bites." -AP

Too complicated Bill? How's this:

Illegal immigrants have the right to be deported.

Not a right to get a drivers license

-

See Bill it's not complicated at all.

-

-

Trick or treat? Spitzer's Halloween

Spitzer still does not get it!

How many times do we have to hit a Democrat like New York Governor Eliott Spitzer over the head until we get his attention. Here is the latest example of Spitzer's mouth running without thinking:

"There is also opposition from fringe on the other side who simply don't want to give the immigrant community any rights."

Governor it is amazing that you were ever Attorney General. Because you seem to have never learned the difference between legal and illegal. Until you do you will continue to make the same mistake. Also if you think that the 75% of the citizens of New York State who are against giving illegal immigrants a license are a "fringe" element I'd like to know who you would consider to be the majority? As far as rights for ILLEGAL immigrants they do have one right. The right to be deported! Not a right to get a drivers license.

New Yorkers oppose Spitzer's license plan. Ya think?

"Seventy-two percent of voters in Monday's Siena College poll said they were opposed to "the governor's plan to allow undocumented immigrants to get New York driver's licenses." Twenty-two percent of those polled supported the plan of the once widely popular governor, according to the Siena Research Institute"

Hard to say why New York Governor Eliot Spitzer is pushing ahead with his plan for rewarding illegal immigrants with a drivers license. Is it because he is as stubborn as George W. Bush? Is it his payback to the Latino groups who supported him? Even though I think giving illegal immigrants a drivers license will hurt legal and American Latinos more than any other group in terms of job prospects. Or is it he is really clueless and has not thought the issue through? He just does not seem to realize that rewarding people who have broken the law is not a good policy for any government. Here are some money quotes from Spitzer and his gang on the issue:

"The policy change is critical to ensuring the safety and security of New Yorkers and the governor would never abdicate this foremost obligation simply to appease those peddling fear and hatred," Spitzer spokeswoman Christine Anderson said after the hearing. "

It's not fear and hatred Ms. Anderson It's about stopping stupid government actions like rewarding people who have broken the law with the privilege of a drivers license. I am so sick of idiots like her and the pro illegal groups painting everyone as racist and haters. When all people want is that the people who come into our country and community to obey our laws. Is that to much to ask. Apparently it is when Democrats like Spitzer and company get into office.

"Spitzer blamed the numbers on a "misunderstanding of the facts."
"It's what happens when you govern and make tough decisions and you do things that you believe are right and don't govern based on polls, which is never what I've done."

Or you payback the certain elements in the pro illegal immigrant movement right Governor Spitzer? I mean how else can you justify giving people who have broken the law more privileges. Spitzer seems to forget the Grassley axiom:

"WHEN YOU REWARD ILLEGALITY, YOU GET MORE OF IT!"

Spitzer says he does not believe in polls (hmmm, just like George Bush) how about constituents who contact him directly . Here are his contact numbers and email:

email: Governor Spitzer

Tel: 518-474-8390

Mail: The Governor

Share your thoughts with him. Since he does not believe in polls. He needs to hear from all of us. What's next? I think this fellow speaks for many of us:

Spitzer is suing us not the U.S.

In a posting at The Huffington Post and Daily Kos our megalomaniac Governor Eliott Spitzer here in New York State is at it again. He is suing the Bush Administration because he wants to expand health insurance coverage to all children New York State. But, by suing the Federal Government Spitzer forgets he is suing us taxpayers too! Last time I checked the Federal Government and New York State were both taxing me. Here are some of the money quotes from Idiot Spitzer:

"In New York, we want to expand coverage to every uninsured child in our state."

Does that include the children of the illegals too Eliott? Probably because as he has already pledged to pay for the medical expenses of illegal immigrants. Who have no problem sending tens of billions of dollars back to their home countries. But, Spitzer wants us New York taxpayers to cover their medical expenses. File that in the Hola suckers file.

"We all know the statistics. There are 400,000 uninsured children in New York. There are 8 million uninsured children in the United States.
These staggering figures are intolerable. On both a moral and practical level, we cannot allow this to stand. The president, however, continues to say the status quo is acceptable."

What bullshit! Children have more and better access to health care than many of us working taxpayers who are footing the bill. When I was growing up every school I was in had a medical office. Every once in a while we would be marched in there for some type of examination. So when Spitzer and others keep demanding that taxpayers spend more money for children's medical care they ignore the system already in place in our school systems.

It is imperative that we all come together to reverse the Bush administration's attempt to override the will of Congress, the will of the states, and the needs of our children.

If Spitzer and others who all to eager to spend our tax dollars on some unnecessary medical boondoggle really want to help save children they would keep them out of cars:

"The most common cause of death in children is accidents. Among accidents causing deaths the most frequent are traffic related.
The importance of protecting children from traffic related hazards is huge, provided that more children loose their life or have permanent disabilities because of them, than from any other cause."- Progressive Insurance

When it comes to medical coverage it is the working taxpayers who need the access to medical coverage not the children. Spitzer needs to rethink who he is hurting when he brings out these frivolous lawsuits. He needs to be more concerned with us State taxpayers and not illegal immigrants or children who already have access to medical services already.

Stop! Hey what's that sound?

I've been on a sailboat for the past several days away from the tactile feel on a keyboard but, not completely out of touch. Listening to a WCBS Newsradio and a local NPR station on occasion. It was heartening to hear that even through the pro illegal immigrant filter that many of these mainstream media outlets seem to have that there is uprising of outrage over Governor Spitzer executive order to allow illegals in New York State to get a drivers license. Some county clerks even stating they will refuse to issue a license to anyone who is not legally allowed to be here. I think Spitzer actions has woken up even more people to the outrage of what is going on regarding illegal immigration. It is only the dictatorial elites like Spitzer who are just not listening to the common sense of this outraged citizenry. Even New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg is coming out against the policy. It sure looks like Spitzer is going to have to be smacked with the Grassly stick. The one that reads "IF YOU REWARD ILLEGALITY YOU WILL GET MORE OF IT!" I suggest he be smacked on the butt real hard with it by the outraged NY citizens because his head may be too thick to get the message.

New York Governor Spitzer still stuck on stupid!

First it was the announcement on Friday that New York would be issuing drivers licenses to illegal immigrants. Now the Dumbocratic Governor of New York Idiot Spitzer is looking to spend more New York State taxpayers money to provide medical services to illegal immigrants.Here are the money quotes:

"Federal health officials have told New York State that they will no longer help cover the cost of chemotherapy for illegal immigrants with cancer because it does not qualify under an emergency Medicaid program. But yesterday, state health officials said they would cover all the costs no matter what the federal government does."

The stupidity of the Spitzer administration continues:
"The state health commissioner, Richard F. Daines, who joined Mr. Spitzer yesterday at a news conference in Manhattan, said the state would pay the full cost of chemotherapy for illegal immigrants, estimated at $5 million to $10 million annually. "

So let me get this straight Governor Spitzer these people are not even supposed to be here but, you want New York State Taxpayers to pick up there entire medical costs after breaking our laws. The illegals are already sending billions of dollars back home to their home countries but, you want New York State taxpayers to pay for their medical bills? How about this as a solution. Take the 10 million dollars and put the illegals who require treatment back on planes to their home countries. I figure you could send about 16,000 of them back home. Let their own governments provide them the medical services they need and NOT New York State taxpayers! You would ultimately be reducing future costs to taxpayers and helping to enforce the laws of our country instead of reaching into our wallets.
