Hillary Clinton is officially a moron.

[Sikander]

So Hilary is against law abiding Arab businessmen but for law breaking Latinos, Irish and Asians? Hey, I'm sure her objections to the Dubai port deal have some basis in reality other than racism and cold political calculation, and I'm sure we'll here about those reasons as soon as her staff can think them up.

[KrazyHorse]

Yeah, Hillary's a ****ing tool. In addition to her recent prominent role in the shameful bipartisan xenophobic DPW slagging, I still haven't forgiven her for her apparent complete fabrication of a story about 7 wanted terrorists crossing into the US from Canada 2 or 3 years ago.

[DRoseDARs]

This is the first I've heard of it.

[KrazyHorse]

It was a top story for about 2 days 3 years ago. The FBI published some alert about 7 wanted men and a day later Hillary was on the air proclaiming that she had inside information that they were Arab terrorists who had infiltrated upstate NY from Canada. The FBI basically said "WTF, mate?". She had to apologise when she realised what a douche she'd been.

[Jon Miller]

she just feels slimy to me

but would probably be better than Bush by a long shot

[KrazyHorse]

Yeah, she's an opportunist.

Same with Clinton I. The difference is that they're smart people who don't have utter faith in their own infallibility...

[Jon Miller]

yeah, I didn't like Clinton until I saw how much worse Bush could be (I don't remember the presidencies of Bush 1 and Reagan very well, although they look bad in retrospect)

Rudi might play in a general election, but he'd never get through the GOP primaries. Though I'd love to see him try, if only because watching him try to win votes in South Carolina would be freakin' hilarious.

God, my eyes rolled so far back in their sockets when I read this that I feared blood would squirt out...

Clinton vows to block bill criminalizing illegal immigrants

NEW YORK -- Invoking Biblical themes, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton joined immigration advocates Wednesday to vow and block legislation seeking to criminalize undocumented immigrants.

Clinton, a potential 2008 presidential candidate and relative latecomer to the immigration debate, made her remarks as the Senate prepares to take up the matter next week.

Clinton renewed her pledge to oppose a bill passed in December by the House that would make unlawful presence in the United States _ currently a civil offense _ a felony. The Senate is set to consider a version of that legislation, as well as several other bills seeking to address the seemingly intractable issue of immigration reform.

Surrounded by a multicultural coalition of New York immigration advocates, Clinton blasted the House bill as "mean-spirited" and said it flew in the face of Republicans' stated support for faith and values.

"It is certainly not in keeping with my understanding of the Scriptures," Clinton said, "because this bill would literally criminalize the Good Samaritan and probably even Jesus himself."

Clinton did not specifically endorse any competing legislation, including a bill co-authored by Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and another by Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.), saying she hoped the Senate Judiciary Committee would produce a compromise incorporating the best elements of all the bills and would remove the harsh penalties contained in the House measure.

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) has said the Senate will take up his proposal to tighten borders and punish employers who hire illegal immigrants if the Judiciary Committee doesn't complete a broader bill by next week.

Among other things, Clinton said she would support legislation that would strengthen U.S. borders, boost technology to secure the borders, and seek greater cross-border cooperation with Mexico and other neighboring countries.

She also called for new enforcement laws, including penalties for employers who exploit illegal immigrants, as well as a system to allow the roughly 11 million illegal immigrants currently living in the United States to earn their citizenship.

Clinton expressed sympathy to representatives of communities along the U.S.-Mexico border that are frustrated by the stress of providing social services to large numbers of undocumented immigrants. But she also said she hoped to send a message that supporters of punitive immigration policy faced significant political risk for doing so.

"We want the outcome to be that they're on the wrong side of the politics as well as the wrong side of history and American values," she said.

President Bush has argued for a guest worker program that would allow undocumented immigrants already in the United States to keep their jobs for up to six years. The effort hasn't gained much momentum, partly due to fierce resistance from others within the GOP.

...ugh. Pander much?

[SpencerH]

The republicans may well lose house and senate seats but either McCain or Giulliani will be our next President(with support from different demographic groups). I cant see any dem capable of beating either of them.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Guiliani won't get the nomination. McCain may, however, and would probably trounce whoever was in his way.

[SpencerH]

I doubt that Giulliani will get the nod but it's not impossible. We prefer to elect those with executive rather than senatorial experience.

Well it's 99% impossible .

[Barnabas]

Or try to introduce changes?

"Clinton vows to block bill criminalizing illegal immigrants"

i like how the words "criminalizing" and "illegal" are right next to each other. If you can't criminalize things that are illegal, then what the hell is going on with this country???

I think my senator is going to do the same thing. he's talking filibuster.
