Thanks for Commenting
So how would you compare Richardson's accomplishments and goals with those of ex-Governor Gary Johnson? Let me see, remind me again what Gary accomplished other than a new world record in vetoing bills?
Gary Johnson, accomplished a number of accomplishments for the common folk.
1. Raised the speed limit.
2. Allow beer and alcohol sales on sunday.
3. Legalized Indian Gaming.
4. Brought us the lottery.
5. Did raise taxes or fees.
These are important to the common man.
Way to go Gary.
Should have been "did not raise taxes or fees"
Gee Frank, I'm surprised you left the Playboy interview off of the list of items important to the common man.
Barb, I'm confused. What exactly are the Richardson accomplishments that I am supposed to be using as a basis for comparison?
You can't really compare Johnson and Richardson. They have totally different ideas on how government should work. Johnson believed in the individual; he believed that individuals make decisions for themselves to better themselves and viewed government as an intrusion.
Whereas Richardson believes that the government knows better. He believes that a government task force, panel or committee can up with ideas for you, as an individual, E.G. how to raise your kids. Just like at Richardson statement on parental involvement; "create a tax credit for parents that are involved with thier kids". Brilliant!!! How about lower car insurance if you are involved with your kids.
The state government that Gary Johnson visioned was one that was orginally conceive by the founders of the United States.
The state government that Bill Richardson is modeled after the current regime in North Korea
If I need to tell you some of Richardson's accomplishments Mario, you must not be reading enough.
Meanwhile, Frank sounds like an ideologue left over from Newt Gingrich's failed regime.
Liquor on Sundays, yowsa!
I think Frank hit it right on. Richardson "accomplishments" are for the elite. Space Port, taking the grt off of the for-profit hospitals, maintaining the status quo on the indian gas tax issue, more money for medicare(hospitals and doctors get this), the new Bill and Barbara Richardson wing of UNMH. All great for his contributors but not alot there for everyone else.
Liquor on Sundays lot of people benefit. Higher speed limit ditto.
Barb you do the math.
Barb, Barb, Barb, I can't believe you've stooped to ad hominem arguments. But, I guess that's easier than trying to come up with a Richardson accomplishment.
