More Hillary/driver’s licenses fallout

The group 9/11 Families for a Secure America, which has been vehemently opposed to Gov. Eliot Sptizer’s plan to give driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, issued a press release today offering a $1,000 award to “any American who can get a straight answer out of Senator Hillary Clinton” on whether she she supports the governor’s plan.
Meanwhile, Republican contender Rudy Giuliani, during an apperance on “The Glenn Beck Show” this morning, had this to say when asked about Clinton’s debate answers:
MAYOR GIULIANI: â€Å“You know, she was being attacked all night for taking different positions in front of different audiences and then by the end of the night, she took different positions in front of the same audience. It was pretty amazing. I mean, in politics I’ve never quite seen that before. I know there are some politicians like Hillary. They say different things to different people. They use different accents in different parts of the country. I’m used to that about her now. I had never seen it happen all in one place, in one minute. And Glenn, this is not a tough issue.â€?
BECK: â€Å“Ok. Tell me the answer to this issue.â€?
MAYOR GIULIANI: â€Å“The answer is no. Or if you believe the opposite the answer is yes. Obama gave the answer yes. Ok. I disagree with that. I think it’s a big mistake. I respect the man for having a position. My answer to it is no. Of course you don’t give out driver’s licenses to illegals. Among other things, it’ll make it even more difficult to deal with all the fraud, all the forgery that’s going on.â€?
BECK: â€Å“I’ve talked to several county clerks and they say they won’t issue them in New York. So we’ll have the locals going against the state, which I don’t even know if it agrees or disagrees with the Fed. I mean—â€?
MAYOR GIULIANI: â€Å“Well, I’m going to be campaigning for Republican candidates today in New York and then I’m headed off to New Hampshire, and this is a big issue here and it has really hurt Governor Spitzer because of what you’re saying. People see this as inherently irresponsible, but again, it’s not—this is not one of those difficult issues of war and peace and diplomacy that she usually often hides behind to have two or three different positions. This one you either know the answer to this, it’s yes or no, and then we can debate it.â€?

















and that is why Rudy is going to kick some butt
and wouldn’t you know it..tonight;s new poll has him
in the lead..
There’s also a new poll from Pew Center that has Hillary beating Rudy by 8 points. Here’s the really interesting bit from this poll…
“Only 36 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents say the GOP “does an excellent or good jobâ€? of “standing up for traditional GOP positionsâ€? on issues like reducing the size of government, cutting taxes, and promoting conservative social issues.
That’s a decline of 25 points since July 2004. In fact, it’s the lowest Republican rating for the GOP since Pew began tracking the issue in 2000.
If it turns out to be a subway race between Giuliani and Clinton, Pew further found that two-thirds of Republicans say their vote for the Republican would be more accurately described as a vote “against Clintonâ€? and “not for Giuliani.â€? ”
Doesn’t sound like Rudy’s kicking butt to me…
Hey, Walter ol’ pal. What do the polls
say about the ranking and effectiveness
of the Democratic Congress?
THAT bad? Wow.
Hillary will self-destruct. It says so in
Monica Lewinksy’s crystal ball.
