Some good news about illegal immigrants, Elliot Spitzer, Governor of New York, announced that he is abandoning his plan to give voting privileges to illegal immigrants. That will make it more difficult for Democrats to commit voter fraud in New York. Mrs. Clinton, of course, says she knew nothing of the plan.
The timing of the announcement is a little peculiar. The Democrats have another of their snooze fests tomorrow labeled as a debate. Mrs. Clinton was sure to get asked about giving driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants. She would then have to actually answer the question this time. By ending the program before the debate, Mrs. Clinton can avoid having to answer a question about giving driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants. That will stop her from one of her looking stupid moments. The looking stupid moment at the last debate was a classic. She is still getting fallout from that last debate flub.
Mrs. Clinton is making sure that there are no questions she cannot answer. She told the person asking the questions to lay off the tough questions. Wolf Blitzer is now put in a dilemma. Should he bow to the Clinton machine and save his life, or should he maintain his integrity and ask the tough questions with follow-up? If it was me, I would ask the tough questions with follow-up. I have lived a good life and have built up my integrity over my entire life. I could not destroy my integrity just to save my life. Of course, the Clinton machine would not have to kill Wolf Blitzer; they could just destroy him with CNN and cause him to lose his job. They have enough pull to do that.
Still, if he stood up to the Clinton machine and came out alive, he would be in great demand by conservative and moderate groups. Wolf could always get a position at Fox News. They are a better station than CNN any day. At Fox News he could actually tell the truth. He would be free to look into real news events. At CNN he is told what he can and cannot investigate. He is also told what his investigation will find out.
The Clinton machine is very powerful right now. If she loses the nomination or the election, their power will be greatly diminished. That would be great for the country. We cannot have powerful forces telling the news what they can and cannot do. The news has to be free to investigate scandals wherever they find them and wherever they lead. Unfortunately, today most news people are liberal. As liberals they get their talking points from the Democrat National Committee. So, they think alike and talk alike. News on one channel is pretty much the same as the news on another channel. Fox News has changed the parameters. The main group does not like the change and is fighting it.
My guess for this Democrat “debate” tomorrow night will be bland vanilla. Nothing will be said or done to create excitement. John Edwards is trying to stir the pot and just might pull a rabbit out of the hat and create some controversy. His only hope is to nail Mrs. Clinton and make her to look like a fool. That is easy to do if you can make her answer a question. She does not want to answer a direct question. She wants everything both ways. Just make her take a stand and then she comes apart and looks the fool. John Edwards has to make that move as it is his only chance to overtake her in the polls. He has caught up in Iowa. That is good because it is changing the Mrs. Clinton is inevitable talk. Keep it up John. Barak has to get on the band wagon and make Mrs. Clinton look the fool also. If both show that she is not ready for prime time, she loses. That is good for the country.
