Senator Joe Biden and Governor Richardson…It’s About Time…..
The United States of America has not selected or elected a senator to be president, in three decades. Now is the time. With the advent of Pakistan, a REAL threat: with hundreds of nuclear weapons and no real democratic tradition or, for that matter, democratic government, however onion-skin the garments of government, into our world of Bush-created era of total war, onto the stage of make-believe enemies, here’s a real one. Grade A nuclear threats from the real enemy, not the Bush-created nightmares in Iraq and Iran. So:
It’s time for our best and brightest. Joe Biden I’ve known personally for many years. I’ve testified often before his Foreign Relations Committee of the United States Senate. He knows more, by a hundred miles, than any candidate in either party. About war and peace. The United States Constitution. The conduct of foreign relations and the art of keeping our country safe. He’s the best in his Iraq war- ending with honor, or whatever honor we can muster, as we bring our girls and boys home.
His running mate? Quite naturally, one of the best, perhaps the very best governor in our country, Governor Richardson. I don’t think I’ve met him. But as an executive who’s been at the top: the top in bringing peace as a presidential diplomat; in governing a major western state, New Mexico; and our nation’s first real candidate of Hispanic tradition, Richardson is as good as it gets.
The order could well be reversed. But the United States Senate, not a governorship, is where the aaction is in foreign relations. Whatever else a president may do or should do, keeping the peace and protecting the nation, and the world, is job number one. Richardson would be great as presidenent. And in this blood-drenched world, as a running mate to any American president, he just might well get that chance. But: Biden for President. And Richardson for Vice President.
Dear friends: this is a match made in heaven. The day all hell broke loose in Pakistan, about two weeks ago, I knew instantly that this is Joe Biden’s day. And Governor Richardson. Joe for President. And our most experienced executive diplomat and governor, Richardson of New Mexico.
My vote in Utah is a waste. Along with every other Democrat. BUT our votes mean just as much as anyone else’s, in our nominating process. Let’s hear it for BIDEN AND RICHARDSON. I give the government in Pakistan about one month’s life expectancy. Then the largest pile of nuclear weapons not governed by any real government will be upon us. This time, we’re not calling “wolf, wolf!”

Have you read any of the recent speculation that Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal may already be under U.S. control? Apparently our government has spent about $100 million securing the Pakistani weapons. Details classified, hard to guess what we did.

Another Amen Brutha!

Classified. Oh uh, huh. Paid mushareff off for them Richard maybe? About as sophisticated as the bush admin gets, I’d say.
I have to disagree about your assessment of Richardson Ed, New Messyco, is a The Biggest Loser(#1) when it comes to receiving Federal revenue of any state in the Nation. For every tax dollar that leaves the state in the form of income and other federal taxes, 2, YES TWO, dollars returns. I figure any idiot can run a State with an economy like that. Give me two dollars for every one you give me, and I’ll make anything shine, and stuff my pockets and those of my cronies.
You ever been to New Mexico? It’s a joke.
There are only a few major league governors worth looking at, and they all come from any of the 10 states that get negative returns on their money. bush is the current, from Texas, and the only candidate in the same league that comes from a paying State, and that one pays big(NY) is guiliani.
New mexico tops even Utah for a giant no load. Anyone can run a State if you are given the money to run it and don’t have to generate it yourself.

The good governor has a truly huge record as emissary for presidents. He brought peace to many parts of this world. He governs a border state and that’s not easy. I know of no better man, by his vita. I would like to know him personally, but no such luck. Biden I know well, over many years. ed firmage

Then let him be an ambassador, we surely cannot afford a man with his lack of experience in the big game as our President. Rhode Island is bigger in the grand scheme of things. In fact the only State in the Rocky Mtn. West that pays its own way is Nevada(Colorado breaks even, last few years).
We can’t afford to be led by people that have no common sense and live on the handouts of the rest of the Nation.
The State is finally doing something about illegal immigration after being mexicos’ doormat during his reign. Well past time to end this modern version of slavery. It is an embarrassment. If the illegals were made legal and had to be properly paid, and their unemployment compensation paid like any other legal worker, do you imagine anyone would be interested in having them around?
C’mon Ed, take a look at the rest of the worlds immigration policies. We are easy, there is by now NO EXCUSE!
