Bill Richardson...big time Clinton favorite and mouth piece.
Doogle
We all know that these funds won't all be spent on the gubernatorial campaign: They will wind up being transferred to his prez campaign. Bill has enough to win the governor's mansion already, and he will because of 1.) No real opponent, 2.) Name recognition, 3.) Because he's Hispanic (though, as one poster said yesterday, his roots are in Chicago and Mexico...what a laugh). 4.) Things in NM haven't gotten much worse while he was in office. I don't think I'm voting for governor.
Then goes off the deep end and concludes:
It's time for a new party in the this country: the Social Democrats. Democrats like Clinton and Richardson are far, far too Republican-lite for many in their party. After 6 years of Extreme Right, it will take at least 6 years of Extreme Left to correct us back to where we were in 2000..
Why do the good people in New Mexico support this clintonista (at least a majority I suppose)?
Don't they remember?
See post #3. The reasons are there. Point 4), especially is relevant. A booming oil and natural gas industry (in spite of Richardson's buds in the environmental movement attempting to kill the golden goose) and the state rolling in dough makes him look good, even though he spends like a homeless drunk who found a new $20 bill.
Many millions for a state-owned railroad, many more for a spaceport, new programs, lots of perks for government union types, eliminates taxes on food, etc. All passed with the help of a Democrat-controlled legislature. His cronies get prime jobs, any opponents, even Democrats, are politically punished by vetos on projects for their home districts, regardless of need. This guy learned well from watching Slick Willie.
Do I smell a troll? The information was copied from the article and appears in the article for this reporting cycle.
Now go away and have a nice day.
ZOT
The figures are from the article; click on the link.
As for ZOT, you will soon find out.
Thank you!
Why would out-of-state people give money to any honest man or woman? Maybe the idiots in congress ought to campaign finance reform this.
Richardson has his eyes set on the White House.
Obviously their tea leaves told them that Richardson might be more than just a SW governor some day. Duh!
He's an ineffectual liberal puffball...(pssst...and he cant speak Spanish but you wont hear that)
He lived in Mexico City for a while and speaks Spanish, but how well I can't tell as I don't speak it.
Are you kidding? Governor Rutabaga cannot speak Spanish? All the Sugar People in Florida.especially US Sugar in Clewiston are now looking at Sugar to be harvested to make ethanol. I do not understand what a NM Governor would be able to do to help them push the idea,unless he has friends in high places other than The Slickmeister couple.
Anyone know the extent of Richardson's knowledge of Spanish and how well he speaks it?
Ping to post #18
Being the first Gov. in the nation to Veto imminent domain abuse legislation (passed unanimousely-IIRC) against the wishes of the majority of his constituency, I have been waiting to follow the money trail. Hmm, big donations from out of state interests and realators groups. Maybe a pattern is emerging. Thanks for posting this CD.
