		<description>And she did not say two different things on this. She did not endorse it, but like may others sooner or later we will have to do something like this in all states so we will know where these people are and they an be held responsible if any wrong doings. Makes sense.</description>

		<description>Uninsured mtorists only works if a small percentage of people are uninsured. If large amounts of people are uninsured than you have a disaster.
People normally do not carry large limits of uninsured motorists unless  of course they are rich. There is also underinsured motorists but people normally do not carry large limits of underinsured motorists unless they are rich. Either way you are putting a large burden on people that carry insurace to carry much higher limits to protect themselves from large numbers of illegal aliens driving.</description>

		<description>I SUPPORT illegal aliens having drivers licenses....

.... at least those that agree to immediately drive back to Mexico.  Those that aren&#039;t able to drive, we should help with a plane ride.</description>

		<description>How about offering licenses to illegals, if only for the purpose getting their addresses on record, so we then know the correct locations to send the INS to begin the deportation process?

Better yet, how about we teach Mexico how to run an economy so their citizens will have jobs and will no longer feel the need to risk life and limb coming here?

Two both really great ideas that ACTUALLY solve problems.  Hey, that all makes too much sense!  How about instead, we simply grandstand and wring our hands over the problem?  That seems to be the popular thing to do in Washgington anymore.</description>

		<description>Unlike our pitiful Congress, insurance companies have already addressed illegal drivers. &lt;b&gt;Its called uninsured motorists.&lt;/b&gt; Please repeat that with me Hillary, uninsured motorist. So, if Hillary&#039;s premise is bogus, her whole argument is bogus and we are left with nothing but her pro-illegal, pro-open boder stance. 

Bogus, a good word synonymous to Clinton.</description>

EXACTLY!! The vacuum of federal inaction by this pitiful 110th liberal Congress.</description>

		<description>What&#039;s better, illegal immigrants driving without a license and insurance or giving them a driver&#039;s license and enforcing insurance laws?  Illegal immigrants driving is already a fact ... so why don&#039;t we deal with it!</description>

		<description>She agreed that we have a problem in NY with too many illegal aliens and despite the immigration policies that are failing us we still have &quot;people&quot; in that state that need addressing. I think what NY&#039;s governor is trying to do is manage the human problem of so many people needing to drive to survive, since the immigration system is still broke and won&#039;t be fixed soon.

It&#039;s not a simple situation, but ignoring it won&#039;t help. There is a human part to this complex situation that we need to listen to.

Telling it like I see it,
Wynter

Hillary does not support the plan.

(pick which ever fits your preference, then go to a blog and defend her.)

Clinton has the perfect strategy...confuse, blame everyone but yourself, and get defeated by the GOP in &#039;08.</description>

		<description>Lets first disengage from the actual subject at hand and look at how she didn&#039;t take a position and simply did a phony as all hell &quot;double speak&quot; in FRONT OF THE WORLD. 

Strong candidate? Don&#039;t think so. 
 
Baby bonds, she just thought it was a good idea, but it is not part of her platform, only AFTER seeing how it played out in the &quot;real world&quot; she pulled it back and gave us Clinton &quot;doublespeak&quot;. 

I am NO fan of Edwards at all, but he handed her a brutal beatdown last night with his tag team partners being Biden and Dodd to some degree. 

Biden and Richardson who I disagree with on &quot;a good amount of things&quot;, are so far superior to this phony it is not funny. 

This blog has been up all day and we now have only 54 postings, sorry CNN, not buying it. 

She was terrible last night and showed her true colors, and finally the gloves were off and she &quot;couldn&#039;t handle the truth&quot;. 

Oprah is over sheep, time to start explaining what your &quot;queen&quot; meant.</description>

		<description>This post above mine is long but you should read it, I agree completely.  The Democrats have so much better than Clinton to offer the American people, she really has no backbone, she changes her mind constantly, and worse she doesn&#039;t take responsibility for the fact that she made the wrong decisions in the first place.  Please people don&#039;t make another mistake like you did with Kerry, don&#039;t put another Democrat up for election that waivers on issues and loses to &quot;the lesser of two evils&quot;.</description>

		<description>TO: Someone better

The reason you can&#039;t get insurance w/o a license is because you&#039;re a legal citizen.  You have a valid social security number and a permanent address.  

Giving illegals licenses is a terrible, pin-headed idea that will in no way ensure they are insured.  

Governor Eliot Spitzer of NY missed the mark on this idea.

Illegals should not be rewarded for sneaking in to a country and depleting its resources.</description>

( Iraq, SS, Iran, economy)</description>

		<description>Hillary praises the license plan, but she won&#039;t support it.  Surprise, surprise.  What&#039;s next-- she voted for the war before she voted against it?  Oh, that&#039;s right-- she already said something like that, too.

Hillary waffles yet again on another hot-button issue.  God help her if she ever takes a firm stance on anything, or has an independent thought that wasn&#039;t approved by a focus group or her advisors.  She&#039;s only running for president, a job in which decision-making skills are just a little important.  

Seriously, who is she trying to fool?  Does she think the American people are so dumb?  Hey, Hillary, I got news for you-- the American people want somebody in the White House who can think on their own and make decisions on their own that they truly believe are right and are for the benefit of the people they work for. 

I don&#039;t know where these polls that say Hillary&#039;s the best candidate out there are coming from.  I don&#039;t know whose being polled, because I just can&#039;t see how anyone would support a presidential candidate who speaks with such contempt, who seems incapable of independent thoughts or making independent decisions.  

One word comes to mind about the Clinton campaign-- flake.  This country is no better off with her in the White House than the country is now with Bush.  If anything, it&#039;ll be more of the same divisive politics that we&#039;ve had to endure year after year whenever a Bush or a Clinton has sat in the Oval Office. 

Come on, Democrats.  Stand up for what you believe in and don&#039;t vote for Hillary.  Give us somebody who can lead-- Obama, Edwards, Richardson, Colbert, somebody who can make a clear and strong decision.  Don&#039;t give us more of the same.</description>

		<description>Basically from my perspective:

If you don&#039;t have a licsense, you can&#039;t get insured, I have tried.  

You can still drive without a liscense. A car does not ask to see your liscense before you start it.  I know, I did it as an irresponsible addult.
  
Also, you can still cancel insurance after you get the &quot;proof of insurance&quot; card.  Did that one too.  

In the end what it gets you is so deep in a hole that takes a lot of $ to step on in order to get out of that hole.  

I think giving a license would maybe cut the amount of uninsured motorists by about 30%.  The rest are either too poor, or too paranoid that it&#039;s a trick to catch them.  

So what to do?  Get uninsured motorist coverage if you don&#039;t allready have it!</description>

		<description>Difficult and complex issues require complex responses.  I&#039;m sick of reducing things to yes/no answers or cliches for the pea-brains in this country.
Hillary and Obama are the only two candidates from either party that come close to saying real things (though not always since both are also guilty of pandering to idiots).</description>

		<description>Look, this is my biggest problem with Democrats over the past 8 years, basically since Clinton was president, THEY CAN&#039;T STICK TO A POSITION AND DEFEND IT!!!  They seem to be so concerned with not offending people that they won&#039;t make a stand and defend their decisions, they wait to see which way the wind is blowing before they show support.  The reason Bush won both times was because he did not waiver on issues, he has opinions on issues and sticks to them, people can respect someone that sticks to their position.  Kerry didn&#039;t have a spine when it came to defending his stances on many issues, hence he&#039;s a political footnote.  Get the point Democrats you lost twice in a row to a president nobody wanted, &quot;the lesser of two evils&quot;.  Start sticking up for what you believe in and maybe you&#039;ll sway some voters.  Oh and how is it in the greatest nation in the world the best candidate is a talk show host, GO COLBERT!!! RUN FOR REAL!!!</description>

You must be kidding!  Hillary is not right!  She didn&#039;t commit to anything.  She lied and then tried to give a convoluted answer that blamed the Federal Government (of which she is a member of).  Good job Tim Russert of trying to nail Hillary down on a position.  Those who watched the debate got to see Hillary&#039;s &quot;double-talk&quot; at its finest.</description>

		<description>If ever you needed proof Hillary plans to grant amnesty to illegal aliens - THIS WAS IT!

She doesn&#039;t want to deport law breakers.  She simply wants them to come &quot;out of hiding&quot;.  She wants to get them licenses, register them to vote, and get them on welfare/medicaid and use them as another reason for Universal Healthcare.

If we can&#039;t deport illegals - deport Hillary!  She would make a great European Socialist candidate.</description>

		<description>In response to Illegal bu American:

No illegal immigrants should not have the rights of American citizens.  They are not citizens.  They are in this country illegally.  Just because you can slip into a country in the dead of the night unnoticed does not mean you are granted automatic citizenship.  Part of being an American is respecting the laws and abiding by them.  If you sneak into this country you are already breaking a law.  If you  use a social security number not belonging to you, you&#039;ve broken yet another law.  If a person robs a bank without being caught does that mean its ok for him to keep the money?  Of course not.  Just because illegals have been able to get over the system does not mean they are not subject to the same laws citizens are.</description>

		<description>Rudy in Key West:

I can see where you would think Hillary might be right on this one.  Since she said both &quot;yes&quot; and &quot;no&quot;, I can understand the confusion.

The bigger issue is clear.  Do we want a president who will finally tell us the truth?  Bill Clinton didn&#039;t, GWB certainly doesn&#039;t.

We have the chance to elect an honest president America, grab the brass ring!</description>

		<description>Some people may support Spitzers plan and others will surely be against it.

But the FAR bigger issue here is that when asked about the plan, Clinton said that she was in full support of it.  Right after she spoke, Senator Dodd said that it was a very bad idea to give illegal immigrants privileges that should be earned (ie - by legal immigrants).

Immediately after Dodd said the plan was a horrible one, Clinton responded by explaining that she did NOT support Spitzer&#039;s plan.  To anyone paying attention, it should have been obvious that she made two contradictory statements right after each other, but just in case people didn&#039;t notice, John Edwards called her out on it by saying &quot;I could be wrong, but Clinton just made two opposite statements in the span of two minutes&quot;.

The fact that Clinton is not forthcoming about her stances on numerous issues, such as immigration, the Iraq War, Iran, Social Security, NAFTA, and government transparency is extremely troubling - and Obama hit on this point as well.  It almost seems like she is purposely not trying to take a stance on any issues so that people cannot criticize her...ie - how can someone criticize her on any of her stances/beliefs if she doesn&#039;t let people know what her stances and beliefs are?  That is NOT a sign of good leadership - and there is no way someone who does this should be the President of the United States.  Good leadership is taking the lead on important issues and standing up for what you believe is right, even when you know that a few (or even a lot) of people may not necessarily agree with you.

That is why I am voting for Obama.  He has excellent judgment and often seems to be one of the first people  to stand up for what is right, time and time again, even before those beliefs are in the majority at times (ie - opposing the Iraq War back when it first began).</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some people may support Spitzers plan and others will surely be against it.</p>
<p>But the FAR bigger issue here is that when asked about the plan, Clinton said that she was in full support of it.  Right after she spoke, Senator Dodd said that it was a very bad idea to give illegal immigrants privileges that should be earned (ie &#8211; by legal immigrants).</p>
<p>Immediately after Dodd said the plan was a horrible one, Clinton responded by explaining that she did NOT support Spitzer's plan.  To anyone paying attention, it should have been obvious that she made two contradictory statements right after each other, but just in case people didn't notice, John Edwards called her out on it by saying "I could be wrong, but Clinton just made two opposite statements in the span of two minutes".</p>
<p>The fact that Clinton is not forthcoming about her stances on numerous issues, such as immigration, the Iraq War, Iran, Social Security, NAFTA, and government transparency is extremely troubling &#8211; and Obama hit on this point as well.  It almost seems like she is purposely not trying to take a stance on any issues so that people cannot criticize her...ie &#8211; how can someone criticize her on any of her stances/beliefs if she doesn't let people know what her stances and beliefs are?  That is NOT a sign of good leadership &#8211; and there is no way someone who does this should be the President of the United States.  Good leadership is taking the lead on important issues and standing up for what you believe is right, even when you know that a few (or even a lot) of people may not necessarily agree with you.</p>

		<description>Illegal&#039;s won&#039;t even follow the laws of our country in regards to immigration.  What makes anyone think they&#039;d follow the laws regarding driving?  They are NOT law-abiding citizens, and therefore do not deserve the same privilages as citizens.  Clinton is doing what the democrats do best: pander to the lowest common denominator and distribute handouts to stay in power.</description>

		<description>Hillary acknowledged the problem and the solution by Gov. Spitzer. She didn&#039;t say this is the best solution, and I thought governors have the right of some independent action anyway. 
  And you all talk about this like it is an easy problem to solve. Of course you want somehow at least to know who is in your country. Legal or illegal, all people should be registered somewhere... Dodd saying &quot;a license is a privilege&quot; .. another idiot, call it differently but track these people. And &quot;the rivals&quot; jumping on her answer. Give me a break, the easy thing to do is to criticize. What was the rivals&#039; position re this issue?</description>

		<description>I&#039;m all for the Governor&#039;s &amp; Hillary&#039;s policy on drivers licenses.  I have several different documents (and am able to get more for a few bucks) that would allow me to get several different drivers licenses.  Then I would be able to vote several different times!  Power to person with the most Undocumented drivers licenses.</description>

		<description>This is such a great plan.  Give drivers licenses to people who can&#039;t get insurance.  This plays to insurance companies to insure illegals as well.  This is just putting a band-aid on a suck chest wound.  Immigration needs to be beefed up and reformed.
Hillary’s comments are typical.   She is pandering to both sides.  I like this plan, but I will not support it.</description>

		<description>Quick CNN, post BS blogs above this so you push this out of here as fast as the illegal contribution stories about the annointed one. 

Only 7 postings so far, where are all of the apologists, I mean, explainers of what she really means? 

Come on, don&#039;t be shy. Enlighten us.</description>

		<description>Chris Matthews semed to think she supported the idea.

Funny how she, along with CNN of course, are trying to shade the truth and soften the blow of such a monumental political disaster for her.

Would expect nothing less from the mighty CNN.</description>

		<description>Of cource she wants illegals to have licences, she needs a new block of victims to pander to, and new mouths to feed all those dependent of gubment.  Yes illegals will be dependant of gubment, 1 they cant speak the language, so they will be stuck in manual labor jobs which dont pay much and 2 they dont want to speak the language so they will be stuck in manual labor jobs.  All they want is the benefits that this great country provides, as long as they dont have to pay for it.</description>

		<description>Ummm ... I don&#039;t get it.  Regardless of your party affiliation, is &quot;illegal immigration&quot; a misnomer?  &quot;Illegal,&quot; to me and Webster&#039;s dictionary, means &quot;against the law.&quot;  THE LAW IS BEING BROKEN.  Every day.  With every border crossing.  

To those who say &quot;forgive &amp; forget&quot; these transgressions, I ask this question: If you illegally entered another country, and were caught, would you just be forgiven?  Think about that before you decide what is the &quot;right&quot; thing for America to do.</description>

		<description>Spitzer should be impeached. An elected official in this country has an obligation to the CITIZENS of the United States, and, if he has any moral backbone, his second obligation is to those who have immigrated to this country LEGALLY.

Clinton talks about &quot;getting a handle on this.&quot; She talks as if the government is helpless to deal with illegal immigrants.  Well, if the government is unable to deal with illegals coming into the country, it is hardly competent to deal with terrorists entering the country. Is Clinton kidding us, or does she just think we&#039;re stupid?

Be very scared, America. There is no one watching our borders and our politicians are poised to give the rights and privileges that you and your ancestors have earned to anyone who can sneak across.

Any politician who advocates amnesty for illegals should not be elected to office EVER!</description>

		<description>My concern is this, they are going to drive rather they have a license or not.  With out a legal license, they can not obtain insurance. I&#039;m not saying it&#039;s right, but do we have a choice?  we are only hurting our slef in the long run by allowing them to drive illegally.</description>
