How come no one is offering their opinion of illegal aliens obtaining driver's licenses. I agree with Barack Obama. One argument you hear is illegals don't get auto insurance, but if you made them show proof of one year prepaid auto insurance (liability) in order to obtain the driver's license, it would at least get rid of one problem.

Presidents represent the peoples will, not their own private interest like Giuliani and Bush! Giuliani is so great he was running AWAY from 9/11 when it happened! Giuliani is a liar as well!

Hate whomever you want. Prove your ineptness with the English language by your profanity. The truth is public record. William Jefferson Clinton gutted the military and Hillary flip-flopped like a fish on a gaff on National television.

I don't know who will take the Republican nomination but I think it very short sighted to expect the American People to forget the corruption of the previous Clinton administration [which is also public record and I suspect will be made full use of if Hillary wins the nomination]Nor will it escape notice that the Senator who wishes to protect the privacy of terrorist and terrorist supporters had no qualms about listening to audio recordings of illegally intercepted mobile phone conversations of her husband's political opponents.

Di, your comments about Hillary ring hollow in light of the far more egregious crimes of your hero, Geoge W (W for waterboarding) Bush. Phony war, bankrupt economy, outsourced and laid off jobs, galloping corruption, oil price and food price inflation,infrastructure left to rot for the last 7 years...the list goes on and on, and you want to parse whatever you think is wrong with Hillary? Even if she were corrupt, and I'm not saying I approve of corruption in her anymore than I do in Bush...but even if she were, all of her misdeeds (alleged or real) combined would add up to sainthood in comparison to those of your hypocritical neo-con leaders.

Don't point a finger unless you want 3 fingers pointing right back at your blame-shifting self.

As a New Yorker I can attest to the fact that Rudy, love him or not, turned NYC around, managed it when everyone else said it was unmanageable, brought down taxes, brought in business, cleaned up the streets. Before that you didn't dare walk in the streets past 6-7PM - none of us worked late unless the company would pay for a car to bring us home. He did much more than "happen to be Mayor on 9/11" and you'd be ignorant to ignore that. He also threw Arafat out of NY when Clinton was welcoming him to the WH constantly.

Before he was mayor he was a US Attorney who went after the mob and white-collar criminals, very successfully.

Rudy has my vote because he knows how to lead. And if he would just make this same speech in a dress, I'd vote for him twice.

What a clown. Lets not vote for this goofball. Instead, lets change our constitution allowing GW to run again. He would win in a landslide. GW is a visionary and our military with his leadership are winning the war on terrorism while protecting our country. We do need to address our borders though.

Lets see, right now, I'll go for some cutting the war budget...maybe bring some troops home...perhaps bring some home from Korea...stop "Star Wars" (that will pay for social security). As for not being able to answer a question in 30 - 60 seconds, I'm proud of Hillary. Anyone should put more thought into a problem than just a minute or two.

The Line Item Veto Act of 1996 was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court case was brought by former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani and NYC won the case and millions of dollars of federal pork at the tax payer's expense. Rudy Giuliani lack of support for the line item veto underscores why we cannot afford Rudy Giuliani as president. Mr. Giuliani will say he is a tax cutter but his legal actions regarding the Line Item Veto Act of 1996 says much more about his commitment cutting government spending which is at the heart of the problem of the national deficit. We simply cannot afford the Republican's borrow and spend or Democrats's tax and spend policies. If we are not emotionally sober in controlling the cost of fixing emotional-charged opportunities may they be domestic or international, we run the risk of losing our financial security in such a way that Mr. Greenspan has indicated, in the second term of the next president. Vote for candidates who will repeal Rudy Giuliani's act to make Line Item Veto Act unconstitutional and will make the Line Item Veto Act constitutional once again for the taxpayer and our financial security.

Since I am a woman, I can say this with some insight. Many of the men who are crying in their beer for Hillary to win the nod are people who really need the mother figure to look out for them. Not all women are for Hillary because they understand her weaknesses....and boy, are there some. She does memorize beautifully though. Those mean old reporters keep trying to ask her questions that she is not prepared for. They should stop immediately.

Ms. Cankles is a FRAUD!!! More so than even John Kerry. She is a hollow person with core beliefs that she must hide from the general public or she would NEVER be elected to anything. Wake up people, Cankles is a disaster waiting to happen.

One more post in response to Tobias 2012 and
Gordon Clarke: Listen to yourselves:, In one breath,Toby-buddy, you complain saying "When the Democrats feel threatened they resort to name calling “ and then in the remainder of your sentence you do precisely what you accuse Dems of doing i.e., calling names as when you say “socialist neo-hippie agenda….adolescent arguments…. pathetic and hypocritical.” You are typical in your con-hypocrisy:(and you're an ex democrat my booty! Yeah,yeah, sure, sure).

In effect. you're blaming others for what you yourself are guilty of doing…name calling. And oh and by the way, in condemning the Democrat YOU are by implication making excuses for the Republicans and their glaring failures since, in defending the Repubs….YOU are the one who makes excuses. Gotta point out the steady diet of con blame-shifting on points they themselves are guilty of....and of course have zero+-self-awareness!

JL should point his/her crooked fingers in the mirror...the economy is roaring with 3.9% GDP in 3rd quarter, lowest sustained unemployment ever, 116,000 new jobs in last month with more people employed than ever, and highest salaries ever...blaming Bush for the price of oil is as stupid as blaming him for the weather...oil is up because of unprecedented worldwide demand, not to mention the fact left wing wackos have kept the U.S. from developing it's own oil

Kenneth, you're right. Here is something for people about Naomi Wolf's "End of America" (found on NY Times Best Seller List)
(quote): In a stunning indictment of the Bush administration and Congress, best-selling author Naomi Wolf lays out her case for saving American democracy. In authoritative research and documentation Wolf explains how events of the last six years parallel steps taken in the early years of the 20th century’s worst dictatorships such as Germany, Russia, China, and Chile.

The book cuts across political parties and ideologies and speaks directly to those among us who are concerned about the ever-tightening noose being placed around our liberties.

In this timely call to arms, Naomi Wolf compels us to face the way our free America is under assault. She warns us–with the straight-to-fellow-citizens urgency of one of Thomas Paine’s revolutionary pamphlets–that we have little time to lose if our children are to live in real freedom.

“Recent history has profound lessons for us in the U.S. today about how fascist, totalitarian, and other repressive leaders seize and maintain power, especially in what were once democracies. The secret is that these leaders all tend to take very similar, parallel steps. The Founders of this nation were so deeply familiar with tyranny and the habits and practices of tyrants that they set up our checks and balances precisely out of fear of what is unfolding today. We are seeing these same kinds of tactics now closing down freedoms in America, turning our nation into something that in the near future could be quite other than the open society in which we grew up and learned to love liberty,” states Wolf.

Hillary shouldn't be so confident she has the women's vote locked. She's an empty shell and a bully who needs her "supporters" to surround and protect her at every move. Margaret Thatcher was tough and she was a leader. She never used her sex as an excuse to avoid answering questions and she was more than equal to the "the big boys" in the international arena. With Hillary it's an act.

It would have been funnier if he had done it imitating Hillary doing her fake southern accent she uses when she's talking to Southerners.

Tony, where do your crooked fingers get these statistics? You fail to point out that the roaring economy is close to recession by all accounts of monetary experts..and the jobs you gloat about are mostly low end service sector jobs, not higher paying jobs as you try to say..Headlines say that foreclosures are skyrocketing, the dollar is in free fall, the economy is flat, stagnant and headed toward a major recession possibly by this coming Spring, if not sooner...and that you had better diversify your investments overseas and into precious metals and oil futures if you want to weather the coming storm...those are headlines from News Max...not from some Democrat website....But you are just doggedly intent on justifying Bush with his huge public debt, that has unhinged our currency while causing the beginning of capital flight from our country. The GD war in Iraq and Bush taxcuts for the rich have destabilized our economic future...with huge public debt, more than all the under all the other presidents combined.

So put your crooked little fingers over your truth twisting lips...you present a right-leaning doctoring of reality to fit your ideology.

Guiliani, Hillary, all of them ~ too little too early! All of you who have the need to blast those opposing your views need to remember one thing: It is God who is ultimately in control of EVERYTHING. He will allow that person He sees fit to run this country ... and perhaps ... to be in power at the end of time. Why can't people get along and stop all this mean talk?

JL, did you read the paper this week? you'll find all that info there...lefties like you want to wish us into recession, but this resilient economy has withstood 9/11, the recent indiscretions of greedy mortgage lenders and all the negative propaganda from the MSM that impressionable people like you swallow with no scrutiny

In the aftermath of her showing at Tuesday's Democrat presidential debate, Hillary Clinton claims that her opponents for the nomination are piling-on and Tim Russert is not playing fair when he presses for clear answers to direct questions. What will she do when Osama bin Laden an Iranian mullah say bad things about her?

She seems to believe that the situation in which she finds herself somehow cannot have anything to do with things she said or did. I expect she will next blame a vast left-wing conspiracy.

Imagine Maragret Thacher or Golda Mier playing victim! They were true leaders willing and able to lead, not scripted propaganda and PR manipulators.

We need a president who can lead, not one who is a perennial victim.

Giuliani didn't attack Hillary or Bill personally. He attacked their wishy-washiness, their lack of care for our military and the nation's security when they were in the White House.

And it's so funny....someone here accusing Rudy of adultry, someone who clearly loves Bill Clinton! LOL

Rudy's the man for the White House!
