Richardson: Bill Clinton ‘Wants to Keep a Grudge’

A traitor who sold out his soul deserves the treatment for a traitor.

Traitor and wuss!!!

I like richardson and bill clinton really needs to grow up, thats waht got him trouble when he was president, acted like a child and did what he wanted, damn the consequences.

Ok whats the loss??????NO big deal he does not like Obama either and if you read between the lines in the shows he has been he don’t intend to even hit the road for him.I would not want the hot head standing up for me .

“I’m governor of New Mexico. I’m happy where I am.”
You better be, because your political career is OVER. Once a traitor, always a traitor, no one will ever trust you again.

“Phony still uses to buy your votes promising to give you another $1000 if you vote for him, perhaps your ”
Are people really that stupid? Hey with that money you can buy 3 i-phones! They are going to vote us all out of jobs or any hope of getting one.

“Haven’t Bill gotten the message we tax payers do not want politics as usual”
LOL! You’re right, Obama’s MUCH worse!

I don’t blame Clinton and I wouldn’t ever trust Richardson with anything or anyone. I really doubt that Hillary really forgave him, either.

Bill is supporting Hillary’s right to run when/if Obama loses to Insane McCain. Why are people stunned by this. When have the Clintons done anything for anyone other than themselves.

Now we finally have a crystal clear explanation of Bill Clinton’s half-hearted endorsement of Barack Obama and his public love affair with John McCain.
I am glad Bill Richardson put country ahead of personal friendship and loyalty.

Its odd and very sad to hear that , it seems Bill clinton have a very thin skin which is surprising in the world of politics.
he should have said iam a big boy it didn’t happen for my wife, but i will go gang buster for the other family member and make sure he is elected its in the best interest for all of us. . after all they are all Democrats.
Hillary has gone out there and done great and is putting the message out ,Who knows! Barack can nominate her to be the NEXT Madame Justice.
Until such time i would like to see her get harry reid position.
Bill richardson has done well by Barack and and will get a nice cushy gig in his admin if he so desire.

Misleading headline, and quote. I heard Richardson on NPR this morning, and the “grudge” part wasn’t a statement, it was a QUESTION. it should have been written out as either:
“I’ve reconciled with her, but with him,[if] he wants to keep a grudge, that’s fine with me. I move on.”
or
“I’ve reconciled with her, but with him, he wants to keep a grudge? that’s fine with me. I move on.”
Please do your homework, maybe listen to the person you’re quoting, before attempting to “report” something.

Governor Richardson must miss the national lime light, because he keeps talking about President Clinton every chance he gets. I gave money to Bill Richardson’s campaign when he was running for president. However, after he dropped off, and waited so very, very long to endorse, I knew that he was a “vendido” and would endorse Senator Obama but only for his own self-interest. As a blogger said before, after his term as governor is over, he can forget politics. Governor Richardson is unreliable and untrustworthy. You don’t bite the hand that fed you.

momof4boys: Maybe you better get the message that we don’t want a president that had ties to a terrorist that killed people in this country after his bombing. Think about it. And got away with. I am glad its all out in the open for people that are true Americans of this country get to know the real Obama has has been hidden too long. It may have been a long time ago but its not too lake to bring it. Voters should know who their voting for unless their anti-american like Obama was and Ayers is.

It is so heartening to see how much you Republican’s are willing to defend your dire and most successful nemesis(es).
Wonders never cease.
The way this is going I expect to see both the Clintons on the 2012 Republican ticket.
THAT’S change we can use!!!

Richardson credibility is lost. Nobody can trust him. Issue is not of endorsing Obama but principle. He was not honest when he was interacting with ex-President Bill Clinton.
How can Obama also trust this guy who is say something in front of you and do something in the back?

wow are their idiots on this blog
idiots argued and got us Bush Cheney and the last 8 years of destruction to ourselves and our nation…not to mention our children’s fuiture…
now idiots are arguing for that same team and same policies
some people are just idiots and never learn
same team
same tactics
9th year.

sam: Yes, they are all democrat dogs along with Nancy Pelosi, Dean and Reid. But I hope they lick their wounds after the election because it is going to very close. I watched the rally with McCain and Palin today and they drew the crowds. McCain got several standing ovations. People don’t want to hear the truth especially blacks. After Obama is half black and they would vote for him even if he was a criminal.

I really don’t care for either presidential candidate. While admire Senator McCaine very much, he is inarticulate and does not have the ability to speak as well as Senator Obama. You have to actively listen to him to understand his points of view. However, I trust him, he has experience and knowledge and I think he understands what we need at this point and time. Senator Obama is a wonderful orator and he speaks extremely well. I actively listen to what he says, however, he speaks in generalities, as of yet, and I have been listening and watching him for months on end, he still has not discussed issues in detail regarding what he would do specifically regarding the economy and other important issues. Lets see, he will not raise taxes, on the contrary, he will reduce taxes for the middle class. I would like to know where he will be getting all this money from for education, repair to our ifrastructure, medical insurance for everyone, the peace corp, etc,. Sounds like pie in the sky and a chicken in every pot to me. God help us all. I have been a voting democrat all of my life. With great reluctance, I will vote for McCaine.

some of you seem fixated on how the Clintons feel. Who cares? As you’ve seen judging by the poles, the Clintons are over and Bill in particular seems to be invisible. It’s gratifying to know that Obama doesn’t need that clown! It must be killing him to see that his luke warm support has not slowed Obama’s momentum!

As a resident of New Mexico, who has voted twice for Richardson as Governor, the sight and sound of this man makes me sick anymore.
It is unforgiveable what he did to Hillary. That is and has been my opinion, and nothing Obama or Richardson does will EVER change my mind.

Obama momentum is a cult and revenge by media and voters who feels that they were misinformed by Bush-Cheney.
Obama is just another guy who is lucky who has dream to become President of America like Ralph Nader

I just listened to Fox saying Obama has a rally in Cincinnati. Obama stated to the audience for the people that had foreclosures there would be a buy-back. McCain has already said that in his debate therefore Obama has been copying the words of McCain. Obama never warned two years ago that this would happen. McCain was the only one. That was proven by records. Obama has been lying to the public since the beginning of his campaign and the majority of this generation has been believing his lies. I think its glad that his past has come to the light. Its shows that he has close ties to radicals and terrorist. No wonder Hamas likes him and the rest of the terrorists. Voters better wake up to the fact that this man would be a danger to America if elected.

Buzz in the corridors of federal courts in Chicago — RICO investigation of ACORN and BHO campaign:
http://www.hillaryclintonforum.net/discussion/showthread.php?t=34745
We were told that ACORN was investigated in Illinois years ago, and it was a Fitzgerald case then. This means ACORN’s activities today, involving a conspiracy to commit multi-state voter fraud on SoetorObama’s behalf, are an extension of that previous ACORN case.
Our source in federal courts said, “Any crime that involves more than two people and is carried out across state lines qualifies as a corrupt organization. The fact that those “Goodwill” donations were made in Texas and received at Obama headquarters in Chicago or Washington means it qualifies for RICO.”
The “Goodwill donations” referred to above are the $228 million in undocumented, unverified campaign contributions the SoetorObama camp has received — which the McCain campaigned filed a complaint to the FEC on this past Monday.
We’ve also heard that the Clinton campaign filed complaints to the FBI and other federal agencies over SoetorObama’s fraud in the Iowa, Texas and other caucuses: voter intimidation, registration fraud, and other illegal activities.
The last thing we were told tonight in regards to all of this was that “the meme here is a tying together of all these various threads. That’s what you will see in the last weeks of the campaign: all things being tied together”.
If everything rumored here is true, it looks like David Axelrod, Howard Dean, Donna Brazile, SoetorObama himself, and possibly even Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid were all involved, together, in massive RICO violations, and thus federal fraud, if the DNC and party leadership knew what the SoetorObama campaign and ACORN were up to and allowed it to proceed. Knowledge of federal crimes being committed makes all parties accessories to those crimes — and part of the conspiracy to defraud the public.
*********************

Judas Richardson should not be surprised that no one trusts him.
Like Richardson said, “But that’s politics, that’s OK.”
Richardson will sell out Obama if he thinks that he will be politically better off if he does so.

NH Voter: Bill Clinton has hit the road for Obama on several times, last week in FL. The problem is that Bill Richardson can’t get over the fact that he betrayed Bill and he is the one who won’t let the issue slide. I have not heard Bill complain publicly about him yet he is somehow amazed that he does not get a call from the man he betrayed is like Judas complaing that Jesus will not talk to him. Move on .Ricardson!

The more Bill opens his mouth, the lower he sinks. That’s why it is great that he is keeping quiet. Perhaps he should go support Palin – they really need it badly now. As for Bill’s legacy?? In the toilet now and if he speaks out louder, it would be flushed into the sewer. Poor Hillary – her future in national politics ruined for she would NEVER be able to get the total support of half of the democrats. Bill has always been an egoistical self-destructing maniac, and he brings down those alongside him. So let us leave him where he belongs – nowhere!

Watch out Bill Richardson because what goes around comes around. Youre nothing but a traitor and I hope Pres Clinton ignores you forever.

Half-hearted? Let’s see…….
You treated his wife with total distain and hate…..
Obama and his campaign called him a “racist” for which they never apologized?
Perhaps it’s a generational thing, but there was a time when your word meant something. I guess not.

Richardson say’s it’s ok that Bill will not talk to him he is still the Gov. of NM. Thanks to Bill Clinton and his support he is the Gov. he would not be where he is today if not for the kindness and friendship and support of Bill Clinton. Now he has the nerve to complain that a man whom he has betrayed will not talk! Richardson have you no shame?

Christains do not behave like this.

Religion is for the weak minded – under Zerobameus, God of Nothingness, you will have a new meaning of nothingness.
Nothingness sold you as something.
Ask your political Jesus, why he pushes to buy your votes to give you cash called stimulus that did nothing to the downfall of economy.
Ask him why he failed and misjudged the policy that HRC supported to make targeted rescue on banking and mortgage lending financial sectors, rather than giving out individual $500 checks?
If he had the correct judgment, and work for a day on his day job in the Senate to help pass that idea into law, the stock market, i.e., your retirement funds, might have been 50% higher than today’s below 9000 level.
Do you really think his new promise of paying you $1000 bucks if you vote for him will bring back your 50%-less retirement accounts?

Obama giving instructions to Odinga (his cousin) on winning the “power”

You people just don’t get it. Politics is politics and people expect to be attacked and they expect battle, but when you get a empty suit, polititician who is wet behind the ear come out and call Bill and Hillary Clinton Racist for political gain and use race bating to win the nomination, that is not political strategy that is down right dirty and nasty. Everyone knows that those two have spent their entire life fighting for minorities, their record is there and it is proven. Not only that say what you will about Bill Clinton’s Presidency I bet you each and everyone of you would rather be enjoying those times today than what we are getting now. Obama clearly disrespected Bill and his Presidency when he tried to say that Reagan was the greatest president in recent years, that is a slap in the face and it was disrespectful coming from a so called Democrat. Bill has every right to be angry, he did not go after his politics, he went after their souls and you will never understand that, especially the young people that have not a clue what’s going on, and then you have someone that has been close to you, that knows your heart and they go and side with that person, for nothing other than political gain. I would never ever have anything else to do with them. Richardson is talking tough now because Obama looks like he may pull it out, but he better watch it because there are still weeks left in this campaign and if you look at both McCain and Palin’s history as underdogs they always manage to come out on top. I won’t even call him a traitor. I just would not call him a friend or acquaintance. Period

I never like Bill Richardson anyway, the Clintons don’t need him. did you know Bill Richardson is the son of illegal immigrants??? He was an “anchor baby” his parents crossed the border to have him and went back to mexico so they could cross legally. I don’t even consider him a citizen!!!

The DOW dropped 600 some points and you are worried about nonsense like this? Amazing. McCain has his questionable associates too. Why not bring them up? We want to be fair and balanced.

Will one of you Clinton Lovers please explain to me what makes Bill Richardson a traitor? Because he once worked for Bill Clinton, he’s required to blindly endorse Bill Clinton’s wife for president for no reason other than she’s married to someone he used to work for? You people are truly beyond reason, so I won’t even try having rational debate with you. It’s impossible.

Posted by: Jim | Oct 9, 2008 4:19:01 PM
He was a nobody until he hooked up with the Clinton’s. There is such a thing called loyalty in this world. Look it up.
Carville was right.

Anyone who uses the word ‘traitor’ on this issue is crazy. Bill Richardson had to make a choice between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. We all had to make that choice. He decided Obama would be the better president. More than half of those who voted in the Democratic primaries and caucuses came to the same conclusion. We all had a right and responsibility to make that judgement. Don’t call someone a traitor because their choice was different from yours.

I’m with Bill — Richardson. The proof that power corrupts is that Bill Clinton thought all these people would be beholden to him for the “favors” he doled out. Bill Richardson was chosen by Clinton for posts, he fulfilled them admirably and that was his “payback.” To suggest that he has to tow the line not for Bill Clinton but for his wife as well is just how corruption works.

Ohhh I am scared. Do you really believe that garbage you wrote? I guess you like what we have endured the last 8 years.
You must be one of the rich people who are afraid your millions will be taxed like they should be. It’s about time somebody started thinking of the middle class for once.

Wow….I never been on a blog to hear so much IGNORANCE!!!Let’s not get that Mccain/Palin are drawing up crowds that are saying “kill Obama” and “Hate”. What a great way to divide this country. Beleive me Americans are not standing up and voting for someone who can draw this crowd…”we are not interested”. I think we will take “THAT ONE”. Finally I have done my research to find what Cindy Mccain and John Mccain has felt the hurt of dirty politics back in 2000 and sent the world a message stating it was hurtful and for people to stop! I wonder where is this Cindy and John Mccain today?

Bill Richardson deserves to be shunned by Bill Clinton. Richardson is a traitor, just like Obammy!
“Stupid is as Stupid does!”

Proud Black Republic—-What a traitor? You guys are awful….Looks like you really have no one to vote for this year. Not even Mccain what your BLACK VOTE! He didnt even want to acknowledge Martin Luther Kings birthday!!!!!!!!

It’s both sides. You keep blaming just the democrats.
Bush and Cheyney have added to the bankrupting of this country by the unjust war in Iraq as well. I bet you will tell me that was the Democrats fault too.

Actually this is a film of Natasha
http://stuckon-stupid.com/

So far the only ones I’ve seen on news today that registered multiple times to vote, are black. Coincidence? One girl, Latisha, in Ohio, said that there are 15 ACORN people in the stree to every person? She was “forced” to register over and over.
Axlerod needs to shoot off a memo to ACORN, as they can lose this if the voter fraud is traced to Obama campaign.
Why is it only African Americans I see registering multiple times? This ACORN group needs to go away, or they will lose it for their “chosen one”.
This black guy in WI had the cashews to stand up at the rally today, and ask McCain to hit Obama hard on Ayers, Wright, all his anti associations THAT THIS BLACK GUY WANTS McCAIN TO HIT HARD ON.
I know the economy is what BO campaign wants front and center, as if he’s the money man (don’t get that), but we are down to the final 3 weeks and relationships not worthy of a President WILL BE EXAMINED.
And screw Richardson.
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN!

Nobody cares about these distractions. Obama is talking about the economy. Why isn’t McCain? Does the old buzzard even know what the economy is?

NUTASHA,
It seems that you are surprised by everything.Doesn’t surprise me. When ignorance rules your life you miss things.
Wanna bet on MA now ! I doubt it !

Oh Yes! Now we are playing it bipartisan! My Lord have Mercy!
As long as the Democrats continue to blame Republicans and with them McCain as well for the economic fiasco, we WILL continue to expose the Democrats contribution to the economic mess. This is a “two way street” my dear. That One is NOT soooooo “blessed” that we would bow to him in order to appear “partisans” while he is going around refusing to give us the facts and nothing but the facts when it comes to the “REAL BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA” as well as the democRATS’ scandals regarding the economic mess!
Barack Hussein, Bela Pelosi, and the rest of the democRATS are not going to walk “free” from this economic fiasco, trust me!

I never once said we are going to play bi-partisan. Why don’ we call a spade a spade. WE ( AMERICANS) get are going to pay the price.
Your right it’s a 2-way street, but only one candidate is talking about our economy-the other one is playing to the lowest common denominator. You are buying this junk-so you eat it.
And you are right…When we gain the white house and a majority in congress we are definitely going to get rid of some rats. We may even help the Ignorant …So you have a shot at a normal life.

J- officially Hillary has to do what she has to do…One thing is for sure – her supporters are not that stupid to know what is really going on and what both Bill and Hillary will do behind closed curtains!
I have not seen either Bill or Hillary killing themselves for Obama since March ’08! And, good for them!!!
The Clintons owe absolutely NOTHING to Obama! He made his own bed and he will have to sleep in it!

Natasha,
What State are you in ?

Care to enlighten us as to why?

Mariann wrote: “…And by not voting for Obama we don’t have to worry about anothere 1929 depression that he would lead us into. As you know it takes brains to run this country and he left his at Harvard.”
Mariann- I agree with you 100% about the polls and your last sentence is… right on the money! Obama reminds me a Chef who graduates from the Culinary Institute of America and right upon graduation he/she expects to be hired as the Exec. Chef at the Pierre Hotel in NY City! Just because they graduate from an excellent school they think that having cooked a few omelettes in “real life” is NOT necessary! And, boy are they ARROGANT! Same thing with Obama – it is his arrogance that nauceates me besides his lack of judgement. Collin Powell may have not graduated from Harvard but I respect the man for his humble character, his moral values, and patriotism. Obama has a long way to go to convince me that he has any of these qualities – I can care less from which school he graduated.

Obama’s Class War “So Wrong for America”
Lynn Forester de Rothschild, appearing on Campbell Brown’s “Election Center” on CNN, offered one of the most trenchant arguments against Barack Obama’s presidential campaign I’ve heard in months.
Forester de Rothschild grew up in middle class New Jersey, and she says the class war Barack Obama would declare is “so wrong for America,” via Newsbusters:
Here’s the introduction from her Wall Street Journal essay:
If Barack Obama loses the presidential election, it may well be the result of a public perception that he is detached and elitist — a politician whose expressions of empathy for hard-working Americans stem more from abstract solidarity than a real connection to the lives of millions of citizens.
Suggestions that Sen. Obama has failed to relate to working- and middle-class voters in swing states have dogged his campaign for months. His choice of Sen. Joseph Biden as his running mate only marginally corrects the problem.
While Obama supporters attempt to dismiss the charges about their candidate’s perceived hauteur, they confuse privilege and elitism. Elitism is a state of mind, a view of the world that cannot be measured simply by one’s net worth, position or number of houses.

Natasha that article is dated Sept 19. If I’m not mistaken, I think Obama is doing far better now with the middle class, even better than McCain.

marianne-
If you are intelligent enough to go to Harvard then you should expect to be hired by the best. In this case it’s the American people. Obama is not president, but times sure look like they could move toward 1929..though I doubt it.
Colin Powell is a great man…he is Humble…but the election is between Barack Obama and John Mccain. This country allows you to vote for the candidate you choose…it does not want you to vote against anyone.
It’s amazing what excuses people use because they are too afraid to say what they really feel. Why don’t tell us the real reason you don’t want to vote for OBAMA…you can say it…we know..

Natasha,
Since when did Forester de Rothschild speak for the middle class ?
You should move. Your states are too blue for you.

Classy. At least Bill can keep it to himself.

Natasha,
i hope you have not reproduced. We don’t need a permanent idiot class. Please don’t make it that simple for my daughter to get into Harvard. If she is up against your offspring. How fair is that ?

‘Bitter’ Campbell Brown Brought to Heel by Lynn Forester de Rothschild
By P.J. Gladnick (Bio | Archive)
September 19, 2008
It was a beautiful sight to behold. The obviously pro-Obama Campbell Brown snarling throughout an interview at the heels of former Hillary Clinton fundraiser and now McCain supporter, Lynn Forester de Rothschild, for “daring” to switch sides. After several minutes of accusing de Rothschild of everything from being an elitist to acting as a traitor to the Democrats, Campbell Brown set herself up for the grand slam dunk by Ms Rothschild using the very words of the Lightworker to turn the tables on the CNN interviewer. First we see in the transcript how Campbell Brown begins with an elitism charge against de Rothschild (emphasis mine):
CAMPBELL BROWN: Now to the political story that everybody has been buzzing about today, the prominent Hillary Clinton fundraiser and big- time Democrat who came out for John McCain. And it’s not just that she is switching sides, it’s what she says about Barack Obama. She calls him elitist. That word a bit surprising for someone who is married to a billionaire. So let’s ask her about it.
Joining me live now, Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild. Lady de Rothschild, is it OK if I call you Lynn?
LYNN FORESTER DE ROTHSCHILD: Please call me Lynn, Campbell.
BROWN: I absolutely will. So, you have to understand how ridiculous this seems to a lot of people. You’re a Rothschild. You’re married to a billionaire. You were a millionaire before you married him.
You’re a jetsetter. You live between New York and London. And yet, you’re calling Barack Obama an elitist. Are you not a member of the elite?
DE ROTHSCHILD: Let me tell you what informs my support of John McCain. I grew up in a middle class town in New Jersey. My father worked two jobs to put four children through college, law school, and medical school. We were taught that we were blessed by God to live in the greatest country in the world. And if we worked hard we could have anything.
And the truth is, I have it. I don’t have to be doing what I’m doing supporting John McCain, but I am doing it because I really believe it’s John McCain and Sarah Palin who will keep this country the way that I was taught this country.
BROWN: OK. But the point –
DE ROTHSCHILD: They are the great Americans.
BROWN: But I think –
DE ROTHSCHILD: So, please, you know, the class war that Barack Obama would like to declare in this country to divide people is so wrong.
BROWN: OK, we’ll stop there.
DE ROTHSCHILD: I have basic –
BROWN: Just stop there for a second. Let me ask you a question because you didn’t answer my question. I assume, I guess that you came up through a middle class background. But I was accurate in describing your lifestyle, is it not?
(CROSSTALK)
DE ROTHSCHILD: Let me — right, you did. You described my lifestyle.
BROWN: OK. But let me ask you specifically to tell me, then, what has Barack Obama said that has caused you to come to this conclusion that he is so elitist and out of touch?
DE ROTHSCHILD: OK. I wrote this piece in the “Wall Street Journal” last week if you want to look at it. What I said is that the Democratic Party has a very bad history with the likes of Adlai Stevenson and people who think they are grander than the rest of us.
Barack Obama –
BROWN: So what makes you think — what’s he said that makes you think this guy thinks he’s grander than the rest of us? Specifically, be specific.
DE ROTHSCHILD: You know what? OK, a lot of it is you know it when you see it. This is a person who went to Berlin to speak to 200,000 people. This is a person who made speeches about how he is the one that the world has been waiting for. He came into this campaign talking about audacity. Where I come from, audacity is not a good thing. It’s modesty and simplicity and being in politics to help people…
BROWN: OK.
DE ROTHSCHILD: … not to advance yourself.
BROWN: But — but –
DE ROTHSCHILD: That’s why I admire John McCain. What I said in my piece –
Then Campbell Brown suggests that de Rothschild is somehow a traitor to the liberal cause:
BROWN: But let me ask you — let me ask you about the issues here, because if you look at the major issues in this election, the war in Iraq and the economy, what everybody in all the polls says are the most important issues in this race. Hillary Clinton, the candidate you supported and you worked hard for, she could not be any more different than John McCain on these issues, but her positions are nearly identical to Barack Obama.
So it sounds like the issues aren’t important to you, aren’t what you’re voting for. You’re voting on personality, right?
DE ROTHSCHILD: Campbell, no, you are so wrong. First of all, Hillary Clinton is not in this race. So let’s talk about John McCain and Barack Obama. No one –
BROWN: But the whole point of you being here, Lynn, let’s be honest, is that you were one of Hillary Clinton’s biggest supporters and biggest fundraisers so you making a switch is what’s making news. Anybody else making a switch wouldn’t make news. So I’m trying to get at what it is about Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama who are identical in all of these –

ROTHSCHILD: OK, let me tell you — let me tell you why I am a Democrat. I am a Democrat because I believed — I believed in the Democratic Party’s sense of fairness, sense of fair rules, and most of all, that they would be there to protect the middle class, the family I came from, the town I came from, the people I care about, the people who make America great. I believe in this — OK.
And now, ladies and gentleman, we come to the moment you’ve been waiting for…the grand slam dunking of Campbell Brown. First Campbell inadvertently sets herself up by calling de Rothschild “bitter”:
BROWN: All right. Lynn, let me ask you finally. I mean, I understand you’re still a Democrat. You’re not going to leave the party.
DE ROTHSCHILD: Right.
BROWN: To some people invariably, it’s going to sound like you’re bitter. Hillary Clinton didn’t get the nomination, this is your way of getting even.
And now the slam dunk:
DE ROTHSCHILD: You know what, Campbell? Barack Obama went and he called the people who have guns and cling to their religion bitter. The people out, you know, who are the rednecks or whoever are bitter. If bitter is the easiest way for you to rationalize that I truly with all my heart believe that John McCain will be a great president, then call me bitter. But it doesn’t really advance the dialogue, Campbell, sorry.
Ouch! And now Campbell Brown limps away into the distance:
BROWN: All right.
Well, thank you for being here, Lynn Forester de Rothschild. Appreciate your time tonight.
To truly savor the slam dunk moment, you really need to see the video of this encounter. It was reminiscent of a wayward dog being brought to heel by Barbara Woodhouse.

Soon, the only people who will be associated with That One will be Billy Ayers, drug dealers, and other Chicago criminals.
Lynn, you did the right thing to turn your back at That One!

Ahahaha! J does not care about Lynn…NOW! (but of course…why should he???!!!)
Last time I checked around Lynn was not an elected official – go llok up her role in her husbands charities.
Btw, she and her husband are both very active in President Clinton’s Global Initiative project.
You DemRATS lost a good person…but that is OK – Obama will eventually chase away many morally sound and key supporters of the Democratic Party.

Ahahaha! J does not care about Lynn…NOW! (but of course…why should he???!!!)
I think I said before I was not a he. You can’t read either.
Where is my apology????
Vote for McCain, when you find yourself homeless, without a job and wandering the streets, at least we don’t have to put up with your stupid comments.
Come back in a few weeks and we will see who wins this election.(unless of course we have a repeat of a stolen election like 2000).

Jesus, I wouldn’t speak to that TOAD Richardson either, after his offensive smear against Hillary Clinton in his speeches to Hispanics! Bill Richardson is a Judas, and he’s going to rue the day he threw in his fat ass with Obama. Toady Richardson will end up under the bus, or exposed as the sexual harrasser he is one of these days. Pathetic, Bill.

A patriot is a person who puts the well-being of his country ahead of personal considerations. Richardson considered the consequences and opted to endorse Obama. In my opinion, he put his career on the line. He endorsed what he believed to be the best for the United States rather than endorsing his friends of twenty years. Mr. Clinton had a problem with that. So did his wife. Carville said he was Judas. That’s gotta be tough for a Catholic to hear. I think it was an act of consummate courage. Hillary could have eked it out. But Richardson stood by his principles. Bill has no principles.

We owe this guy a debt of gratitude. He helped kick the Clintons to the curb!

It’s a good thng Bill Richardson doesn’t have the freedom to make up his own mind, huh ?
Good thing that Bill Clinton appointed him to a post, not Hillary, Huh ?
I didn’t know that you shouldn’t be able to endorse who you feel would do the best job, huh ?
Good thing that YOU PEOPLE get to decide everything for everybody, huh ?

Bill Richardson has never done anything- that didn’t benifit bill richardson. Get a life at least a political life-he was for hillary when it looked like she was running away with it-and switched horses at the finish line-thinking he could garner the VP spot by claiming he could bring in the latino vote-he can’t-and Hillary didn’t need him because she HAD the latino vote. BR is strulling in a latino state to put Obama over the top-richardson isn’t popular in his own state and may not be reelected-he is corrupt and self serving as are alot of other politicians-And for those obama supporters who are SO STUPID to keep dishing this trash about the clintons-you don,t get it-I have been working my butt off to get other Hillary supporters to support obama-honey you ain’t gonna win without them-so let me put it bluntly-shut the “F” up until this election is over-I am working too hard to let you numbskulls blow this

I happenen to be a colin powell fan-however i lost some respect for him when he put gw’s agenda before the good of the country-I realise he is a good soldier and obeys not betrays his commander in chief-but in the future i hope to see politicians that will stand up and put country first—-And by the way-I don’t see Collin Powell supporting John McCain-do you????

When Gov Richardson kept the nation in “suspense” while deciding which candidate was better for HIM, for his career and political future, he unfortunately enforced the latino stereotype of “oportunismo” . It has been argued that he had a “democratic right” to endorse Sen. Obama; however, his individual freedom to choose or his personal agenda within the party is not the real issue/problem, but rather his lack of loyalty to his constituency. In pursuing his political interests he acted against those of the Hispanic/ latino community that he -as one of their political leaders- should have always represented. The diverse Hispanic/latino community and its vote was united behind the candidacy of Sen. Clinton who represented their concrete interests and had knowledge of their needs, problems and socio-economic aspects of their countries of origin. Gov Richardson’s credibility is damaged. The “Richardson factor” and his endorsement might have helped only him and not Sen Obama who still needs to explain how he will pay for all his “change” promises and to get the key vote of the important Hispanic/ latino minority group in November…

From above:
“In case you moron were still a piece of stone in the 1990s, for your education, the Clinton Administration brought about an unprecedented period of peace and prosperity in the history of this country.”
Exactly how did Clinton bring that about?
Apparently the world’s best kept secret.
I’m sure the Republicans would like the magic economic potion that Merlin Clinton apparently came up with.
Give me a break. He was just at the right place at the right time.
As for peace, I guess the first WTC bombing, Somalia and Bosnia were just drunken parties that got out of hand.

JUDAS! And quit fanning the flames talking about Bill Clinton. I wish he or James Carville had slapped the sh** out of you, Richardson! Worthless!!!
NEVER cross our Clintons. We never forget.

Bill Richardson does not have to talk about these personal matters. This doesn’t show much political or personal wisdom. Sounds like he was not up front with his long time friend Bill Clinton. Why would Clinton want to be personal friends with someone who was not honest and forthright with him? We have only ever heard Richardson’s side of this.

How sad that the only way Bill Richardson can get press is by talking about Bill Clinton.
As he demonstrated in the debates, Richardson is a nut case who had no business running for President – that is why he never got more than a single digit percentage of votes in any primary.

Bill “Judas Priest” totally sucks.
He is a disgrace to his race and the demoRATS

don’t know what’s more scary, the cover up by the MSM for Obama, or his brainwashed Nazi Youth supporters like Bethb, who typically respond to any questioning of their Messiah with an angry barrage of hate filled insults.
Guess what Obots, your candidate was never vetted at all and has run the most corrupt campaign in history.
Better get used to people like Natasha, and millions of others who will only make sure to find out about Obama especially if he does steal the Presidency.
get used to it. He will never escape the upcoming scrutiny.

Bill Clinton is a very bad example for Americans and the rest of the world. Bill Richardson is a much better man than Bill Clinton. Governor–you don’t need Bill Clinton. He needs you, for you have more integrity than he does.

VOIGHT: My concerns for America
Obama sowing socialist seeds in young people
“We, as parents, are well aware of the importance of our teachers who teach and program our children. We also know how important it is for our children to play with good-thinking children growing up.
Sen. Barack Obama has grown up with the teaching of very angry, militant white and black people: the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, William Ayers and Rev. Michael Pfleger. We cannot say we are not affected by teachers who are militant and angry. We know too well that we become like them, and Mr. Obama will run this country in their mindset.
The Democratic Party, in its quest for power, has managed a propaganda campaign with subliminal messages, creating a God-like figure in a man who falls short in every way. It seems to me that if Mr. Obama wins the presidential election, then Messrs. Farrakhan, Wright, Ayers and Pfleger will gain power for their need to demoralize this country and help create a socialist America.
The Democrats have targeted young people, knowing how easy it is to bring forth whatever is needed to program their minds. I know this process well. I was caught up in the hysteria during the Vietnam era, which was brought about through Marxist propaganda underlying the so-called peace movement. The radicals of that era were successful in giving the communists power to bring forth the killing fields and slaughter 2.5 million people in Cambodia and South Vietnam. Did they stop the war, or did they bring the war to those innocent people? In the end, they turned their backs on all the horror and suffering they helped create and walked away.
Those same leaders who were in the streets in the ’60s are very powerful today in their work to bring down the Iraq war and to attack our president, and they have found their way into our schools. William Ayers is a good example of that.
Thank God, today, we have a strong generation of young soldiers who know exactly who they are and what they must do to protect our freedom and our democracy. And we have the leadership of Gen. David Petraeus, who has brought hope and stability to Iraq and prevented the terrorists from establishing a base in that country. Our soldiers are lifting us to an example of patriotism at a time when we’ve almost forgotten who we are and what is at stake.
If Mr. Obama had his way, he would have pulled our troops from Iraq years ago and initiated an unprecedented bloodbath, turning over that country to the barbarianism of our enemies. With what he has openly stated about his plans for our military, and his lack of understanding about the true nature of our enemies, there’s not a cell in my body that can accept the idea that Mr. Obama can keep us safe from the terrorists around the world, and from Iran, which is making great strides toward getting the atomic bomb. And while a misleading portrait of Mr. Obama is being perpetrated by a media controlled by the Democrats, the Obama camp has sent out people to attack the greatness of Sen. John McCain, whose suffering and courage in a Hanoi prison camp is an American legend.
Gen. Wesley Clark, who himself has shame upon him, having been relieved of his command, has done their bidding and become a lying fool in his need to demean a fellow soldier and a true hero.
This is a perilous time, and more than ever, the world needs a united and strong America. If, God forbid, we live to see Mr. Obama president, we will live through a socialist era that America has not seen before, and our country will be weakened in every way.”

Steve W. SHUT THE HELL UP WITH RETARDED COMMENTS

Bill did what he felt was right and I agree with him. I am a New Mexico resident who grew in respect for him after he put himself on the line for Obama. I wish everyone would give Bill a break for doing what more dems should have had the guts to do. But no the Clinton groupies must hold grudges or what elce would they have to hold?????????
