Democratic Underground - We know what Hillary supports

Hillary said the day after the debate, October 31, 2007 that she supports Spitzer's plan.

Six days later, Edwards is still lying about Hillary not choosing sides. Hillary does say she doesn't agree with all the details of the Spitzer plan. So what?

The video you linked to is so misleading that I have to consider it fraudulent. It cuts out 95% of Edwards' answer to the driver's license question to make it look like Edwards just gave a simple black and white answer. For the real answer, see ABC This Week website.

More on Edwards and his double talking from MSNBC First Read:

EDWARDS: No one -- outside of the RNC -- has been more critical of Clinton's answer from last week's debate about illegal immigration than Edwards. His campaign has released two attack Web videos mocking Clinton's non-answer on the issue. But the Politico notes that "his own position on the issue is also incoherent, experts say."

“‘He supports licenses as part of a path to citizenship. He doesn't support the Spitzer plan because it doesn't include a path to citizenship,’ said Edwards' deputy campaign manager Jonathan Prince in an e-mail referring to the New York governor’s plan that prompted the question that flummoxed Clinton. ‘That's not a rational position — Eliot Spitzer couldn't ever offer somebody a path to citizenship,’ said Margie McHugh, the Co-Director of the National Center on Immigrant Integration Policy at the Migration Policy Institute, which favors immigration reform.”

“‘I don't know if they think you're stupid or what they think,’ said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the National Immigration Forum, another broadly pro-immigration policy shop. Sharry laughed aloud when read Prince’s statement of Edwards’ position.”

And apparently Edwards has flipped on the issue of ending combat missions in Iraq. "Edwards, who has been highlighting his differences with Hillary Clinton on the Iraq war, acknowledged today that he also would continue combat missions against Al Qaeda in Iraq -- but from bases outside the country. He told Globe editors, however, that ending the permanent combat military presence in Iraq -- what he calls an occupation -- is a significant distinction between him and the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination."
