Bill Richardson = Benedict Arnold/Back stabber

[GHook93]

I am no Clinton fan. In my opinion she is a communist. However, I can still acknowledge and injustice to done to her. The Clinton's made his career. Without the Clinton's Richardson would not anywhere near the position he is in. How he thanks them? he back-stabs them by endorsing Obama, in exchange for a VP nod (mark my words it will be announced after Obama wins). Then he comes back with an attack on the Clinton's by calling them glutter tactics and impling that Clinton lost her cool with him by chewing him out after he let her know of his intentions.

An decent person would have taken the high road and held any nomination.

Do you really think she's a communist? Or do you just mean you disagree with her politics?

I'm seriously curious. I don't necessarily have any strong feelings for/against communism, I think it's a neat concept but impractical when humans are added to the equation.

Sorry for derailing there a moment.

I don't think anybody is "entitled" to political allegiance, and certainly not "forever". If Richardson truly feels Obama will do a better job, I think he's really *obligated* ethically to support him.

No I don't really think she is a communist or Obama. However, I think she, as is Obama, are little to big brother/welfare state/taxamerica/socialist for me.

Then please stop referring to her as a communist. Leave the empty labels to Ron Paul fanatics.

As for Richardson, his Obama endorsement is fine. He's not Hillary's slave. She understands politics by now.

How dare you insult communists by comparing them to Hillary Clinton! You owe communists an apology.

It isn't "the Clintons" that made Bill Richardson's career, it was Bill Clinton that (arguably) made his career.

She is definitely a socialist. I know its moot, but the more you hear RP talk the more sense he makes. His views on Israel always put me at odds with him, but for America He might have been the best.

No it was not OK. Richardson showed his bad face of politics. He did this to get a VP nod. If he truely wanted Obama to win, he should have respected all the Clintons had done for him and backed no one. And he should never had bashed the Clintons.

It depends on what you mean by "a socialist." She strikes me as more of a strict state-capitalist, like her husband (not that there's the biggest difference -- power is power, after all).
