Bill Richardson ran for President on a shoestring and lost most impressively, with hardly any votes despite his ballyhooed resume and months long campaigning, here in New Hampshire. He reminds me of John Connolly more than anyone else, other than maybe Ross Perot. Then, he hesitates at Bill Clinton's blandishments before endorsing Obama, waiting until after the major Texas primary, which Hillary won. When he had the chance on the national stage, I heard nothing from Bill Richardson opposing the rabid Republican line against immigrants such as his own parents, and so-called Illegals. Nothing spoken in opposition to that Reagan Wannabee Mitt Romney from Massachusetts. No objections made to Tommy "One Note" Tancredo's vicious Mexican-American bashing. No opposition to the building of "The New Berlin Wall" across the Southwestern United States border with Mexico, even though his State of New Mexico's location is central to that inane and misanthropic security wall. Bill Richardson was Man-In-Charge at the U.S. Dept. of Energy under Bill Clinton, and countenanced the appalling mistreatment of an American Citizen and U.S. Government Worker in an abusive solitary confinement - Wen Ho Lee - despite his evident innocence. Meanwhile, he and the rest of the Bill Clinton cabinet gave away ICBM - Intercontinental Ballistic Missile - technologies, as well as MIRV - Multiple Independently Targeted ReEntry Vehicle - technologies, to the Communist Chinese, the same Mandarins who today are ruthlessly keeping international war zone news reporters out of Tibet, while trucking in heavily armed troops by the thousands, to do battle with unarmed Tibetan Civilians in the Himalayas. The murderous and bloody events of Tibet today, recall the famed Chinese crossing of the Yalu River in wave after wave of troops attacking U.S. forward forces in the mountains of Northern Korea, a Country which remains divided to this very day as a result. I might add that the Chinese and their spies here in the United States were caught red-handed recently, trying to smuggle out of a California airport via hidden data media in the bottom of a suitcase, the means to detect, track and possibly destroy American deep water nuclear submarines, a major leg of America's strategic defense. Meanwhile, Americans shop avidly at Communist China's main business partner here in these United States, Walmart Stores after Sam Walton's death, where a majority of the cheap, substandard goods are "made in China" and where sales are up 8 percent year-over-year. The Clinton era was all about "making the world safe for Walmart" on whose Board of Directors Hillary Clinton sat for years. Hillary Clinton a strong backer of universal health coverage? Are you joking? Walmart offers nobody who works for them any adequate program of health coverage, nor any job security, and certainly no health plan whatsoever for me when I worked for them 32 hours weekly in 2006. Bill Clinton's hometown in Arkansas, Hot Springs, was and is so very corrupt, that Chicago mobsters hid out there after committing their murderous crimes in Chicago, until "the heat" died down like their victims. I would not be surprised to find James "Whitey" Bulger hiding out there today (No. 2 on FBI's "Most Wanted List" from Boston, who has an appointment to talk with Florida's investigators about the infamous Wheeler murder when captured.) As to America's decades long addiction to oil from the Middle East, the money we send over there to people who invest in Jihad and extremist training Madrassa schools and paramilitary right wing death squads - where have I heard that before? - American Democrats recently killed off the strategically important FutureGen plant to be located in Mattoon, Illinois near St. Louis, Missouri. Didn't you hear about this Energy Policies "Saturday Night Massacre"? Maybe that is because America's U.S. Senate Democrats do not want you to know of their utter and complete energy policy bankruptcy, incompetence, and national betrayal. America has 250 to 300 years of energy available to us in the form of bituminous coal. America is in fact "the Saudi Arabia" of coal. Of course, burning coal makes for profuse greenhouse gases, particularly the rather innocuous CO2 which plants love. However, the FutureGen next generation domestic American energy generation plant would capture and sequester all such CO2, making this much needed new and transitional advanced energy technology proven and available to our Country at a critical time in our history. The price? Only $2 to $3 Billion of the many Billions we send overseas annually to fight wars and pay friends and foes and fatten defense contractors' pockets and drill for oil and transport oil and finance terrorists and support totalitarian dictators like Saddam Hussein - who was our good buddy for 20 of this 30 years of massive misrule - and others who are hardly friends of democracy and democratic institutions and free presses and labor unions and workers' and citizens' rights. Why can't we pay $2 to $3 Billion for our future energy security, when we ended up paying $15 Billion for the ill-advised and wasteful "Big Dig" highway project in Boston? I might add that most Americans do not know that Canada's Province of Quebec offered the Northeastern United States a long-term contract for environmentally very desirable Hydro Quebec hydropowered electric energy, which Boston's Democratic politicians, along with the polar bear loving National Resources Defense Council - NRDC - (Leonardo DiCaprio's good buddies) - and Luddite anti-Middle Class anti-Development anti-Industry anti-Technology anti-You State of Maine politicians rejected cursorily and without public consideration and debate. Maybe you should find out why?
