Let's examine some of Richardson's claims over the years.
For over 40 years, he maintained that he had been drafted into Major League Baseball by the Kansas City Athletics back in 1966. After the Albuquerque Journal investigated, and found no record of Richardson ever being drafted, he explained:
"After being notified of the situation and after researching the matter . . . I came to the conclusion that I was not drafted by the A's."
He spent over a decade in Congress, never really facing a serious challenge in his heavily Democratic district.
But by far, my biggest problem with Bill Richardson's candidacy for President is his negligence, his indifference to Chinese espionage threats, and the theft of many of our nuclear secrets while he was Energy Secretary, as documented in the Cox Report.
His tenure was forever stained by the Wen Ho Lee espionage case and the Chinese theft of the crown jewels of our nuclear arsenal: hard drives containing information on the W88 warhead and Multiple Independently targetable Reentry Vehicle, or MIRV.
Bill Richardson is not a patriotic American who deserves to be President. He is a traitor to this nation, who, at the very least, looked the other way while the Chinese were infiltrating Los Alamos Labs and stealing our nuclear weapons secrets. He should have been jailed for what he has done.

Fat Billy, or King Bill as we call him, is a slick one. I think he has a real chance if Hillary and Obama crash and burn.
Yes, I too had to do some research and consulting to conclude that, indeed, I was never drafted by the Yankees... or the Colts. Bummer!
New Mexico Governor Says He’d Tear Down Border Wall
Presidential candidate and Governor Bill Richardson (D-N. Mex) says that the wall being erected on the U.S.-Mexico border should not be built. “It’s bad policy. It was done to get Gingo votes,” Richardson said. “And the next president should not build it. I wouldn’t build it. If any part of it is built I will tear it down if I am president.”
Richardson argued that the wall is also bad for the environment. “The wall interferes with natural Latino migratory patterns,” Richardson said. “They come north to feed in the lush Norte Americano economy. They often send money back to help rear their offspring.”
“Blocking these traditional migratory paths could lead to isolated populations, excessive inbreeding, and genetic deterioration,” Richardson added. “This would lead to Latino genocide.”
Richardson called for all Latinos to unite behind his presidential bid. “By electing a fellow Latino, Mexicans can insure their future,” Richardson urged.

My guess is that Sweatin' Billy will be Hillary's Veep nominee. An affirmative action Vice President with lots of sleezy ties to the Clintoons (he got Monica one of her jobs, as I recall) is just what this country needs as we fight the WOT...not.
To understand the immigration problem, you have to "listen". When they say "migrant" that term entails an implicit right to move where they choose, in this case, our backyard.
I've looked into the matter and have concluded that I never played second trombone in the Philadelphia Orchestra. In fact, I never played any position in the brass section of that organization.
I'm still looking into any possible involvement I might have had with the Boston Symphony, but it is too soon to go public with a final conclusion.
I think any Dem is SCARY!
Agent 86: " Right now, there are 200 fully trained agents swarming the area. You can't get away...
Zeigfried: "Oh really?" Agent 86: " Would you believe 20 agents and some Boy Scouts?
Zeigfried:"No". Agent 86:" A couple of elderly women with their umbrellas?
Richardson was also on the board of directors of Peregrine Systems, a publicly traded company, while major accounting fraud was going on.
He excuses himself from any culpability on grounds that he was an outside director.
He also touts his negotiations in Darfur as some sort of credential for the Presidency. They're still being slaughtered over there, so what exactly did he do that was so great?
He's really a snake in pig's clothing...
And now the liar has Val and Joe Wilson working for his campaign. Richardson will lie and the Wilsons will swear to it.
