The leading democratic candidate for governor in Massachusetts will, if elected, sign a bill giving drivers licenses to "undocumented" visitors to Massachusetts. He has set a limit of 150,000 licenses. Obviously this is far too few. With our booming economy and universal health care coming here we have plenty of surplus funds for these hard working taxpaying folks. He didn't mention our paying for the mandatory compulsory automobile insurance the documented citizens must have but I am sure our legislature will send a bill to Mr. Patrick exempting them from this expense. Again Massachusetts will lead the way in this great republic of ours as we have with Ted Kennedy, John Forbes Kerry, and gay marriage. The rest of you can eat your hearts out. Ron

Our former Governor (Davis - California)used the argument that if undocumented visitors were given drivers licenses that they would get car insurance!
I always wondered how one could be breaking the law but by simply getting a drivers license they'd comply with the insurance law.
Another interesting statistic the other day was that the GAO is trying to collect FEMA mis-payments to Katrina evacuees.
During this they found that some 900,000 of the 2.5 million people had either illegal or duplicated social security numbers.
Does anyone wish to address the states that allow in-state tuition to illegal's for college educations?

Never fear Ronnie. As long as a gay couple doesn't try to force you into a
3, you'll be ok.But will they be licensed? If that is an invitation I pass. Thanks anyway bunky. Ron
Ron, you been listening to Howie Carr again, haven't you? ;)
Where you from? I'm from Northampton/Amherst area, I get hit double. Try being a Conservative out here...
01741- We are from the third most liberal city in Mass. They hold candles on street corners in the winter to show people driving by that they, ( Arlingtonians) care about- whatever the current liberal outrage is. Since the lowlifes got kicked out of Cambridge when they lost rent control, Judges, the mayor of cambridge, other assorted lowlifes weren't subsidised anymore on the backs of middle class two family homeowners, they couldn't afford the going rates so they moved to Arlington and Somerville. It caused a cancer in nice middle class neighborhoods. Had to move out to the ghetto in 01741.

I don't listen to Howie anymore. Conflicting time schedules. I listened to him when he first started with Jerry Williams. Howie, Jerry and Barbara Anderson were with Citizens for limited taxation and got proposition 2 1/2 passed. The biggest defeat ever for the, never saw a tax they didn't like, crowd- the democrats. They will never forgive him. Gotta love the guy.

I lived in Lawrence (UGH!!! On a local TV station from Springfield it is being called the "Immigrant City"!) after I moved from Andovah (High Rent City!) and then to Nashua before the boom. Where all the car dealerships and malls are now there was nothing but cowfields!
Life is too hectic for me. Everybody moves so friggin fast out there! When I moved back to Western Mass my friends told me to SLOW DOWN!!!! NoHo moves at a snail's pace for sure!
Must have but a real crimp on "Uncle Mike's" spending habits!
You saw Ed King just died? He was the REAL "Massachusetts Miracle" Uncle Mike came back in and took all the thunder from the policies Ed King put in place.
And I was a *Liberal* then, and I could STILL see it!
