Bill Richardson's Profile

[thomas a nagy]

Think about this: The Dems need an alternative to Clinton and Obama. Both have obvious negatives. Edwards? He should have been stronger by now if he is the one to go to, given his status since 2004, as the VP candidate. All three candidates have a problem with independent voters, the swing vote, warming up to them. All three have been given abundant free press, and none has taken charge of the process, or the voters' hearts, given the exposure.

Then we have Richardson. He is the one. This man has the experience that Obama lacks, and the ideas to win. Example: the Environment as a (if not THE top issue) Resaon: The Error of the Obvious: GLobal Warming is NOT the top environmental issue of 2008, or the next decade!! It is actually a side issue, with ENERGY INDEPENDENCE being ahead in importance. In other words, Richardson knows and says that the primary issue to face in ending the war in Iraq is the continued supply of Oil, and this is why others want to stay in, but the way out is through both state and federal TAX INCENTIVES to invest in Solar and Other alternative means of getting energy.

Obama says what Edwards has been saying, showing that the Big O has little in the way of original answers, or real answers of his own. "Be Different" plays to the Diversity school, but offers no tangible substance to grasp. Edwards and Clinton both treat the War in Iraq as a separate issue from the Environmental Crisis, while only Richardson approaches both with realistic and tangible plans because Richardson stands alone in taking the strong position that the answer to Peak Oil, Iraq bloodshed and the Environment Issue can and must be solved right here in the States. Restless armies do not end wars. Diplomacy does.

When Barack talks about needing "someone different" in the white house he is really indicating that we need to elect Bill Richardson, who is different AND has the Experience and IDEAS WITH SUBSTANCE that Obama lacks. Most of what B.O. says as far as an idea is borrowed from Edwards and Kucinich, without the conviction. Richardson has the grasp of what it REALLY will take to repair the Bush-Cheney damage (Diplomacy backed by action, taking steps back from aggression, and putting our money back into Domestic Environments). For example, the same amount of money spend on the war in Iraq, if spent on Solar Hardware and tax incentives at home, would have reduced the need for Iraqi Oil, or any foreign oil, enormously. Every billion dollars invested in Solar energy today pays for itself within ten years, and then it turns a profit!!! ASIDE from global warming, the energy savings and independence is worth twice the dollar invested in the long run, to say nothing of the lives lost, destroyed, and forever changed by the horrendous war. How much does CLEAN AIR cost to people with asthma? Come in here, dear friend, have a cigar.

I know Richardson is not in the running now, I wish he was, he would have my vote. He stands for our Civil Rights better than any or the others on the list and I feel he would be a great president.

Clinton gives the run around and never answers questions fully, Obama, I cannot bring myself to vote for someone as president who don't stand attention to our flag, the flag he would be defending as president.

I know I don't want any of the ones who will be running as president, but more so not Clinton or Obama. I wish it could be you Bill Richardson.
