I'll just quote my comments from yesterday's thread on this (as well as wonder why we needed two threads about this racist arse in as many days).
There is no way in hades I'd vote for a racist anti-Anglo like Richardson.
My father worked for the New Mexico Highlands University for several years. To make a long, complicated story short, Richardson ousted the board of regents because they didn't re-hire a president who was pushing a Hispanic first agenda. He then arranged his crony Manny Aragon to be appointed President. Aragon persued a similar agenda, in which Anglos were discriminated against in hiring and grants of tenure.

When are they going to start drowning politicians trying to ride to power on the backs of lie saddled dead soldiers?

No, only certain ones ride the backs of specific soldiers, and they are the biggest asshats. Riding the whole military is a different game.

I would vote for Romney before I vote for some asshole riding the back of another dead soldier, and I have no intention of helping the Republicans get back in office.

i dont see the big problem. maybe the conversation took place maybe it didnt. maybe he is remembering a different memorial service.
the point is that he DID raise the death benefit for new mexico national guardsmen to $250,000 and that it is now $400,000.
that is far more important than getting caught in a "lie".

This is the "conversation" he used in an attempt to gain political ground.
The "conversation" as he relates is is a complete lie.
That's what matters.

yeah. well. it just doesnt seem to be a big matter to me.
i can see why the mom is pissed since it suggests that when her son died she was obsessed with the money that would come from it.
i cant see why anyone else cares since there is no way to know the truth of the story (not that i think that the mom is lying) and the end result, the upping of the death benefit is very real.

He is still being an asshat. If it didn't take place, it is even worse than if it did.
