Governor Richardson on returning from North Korea

[vRaZ1el]

Richardson has balls to go to north korea. THey americans there.

[celticlofts]

Richardson, if the North Koreans want to make a positive gesture towards the United States then I would suggest they dispose of their nuclear arsenal and open their borders, hold free elections and let the people decide who governs them. I am absolutely appalled by your conduct sir in giving those thugs some kind of credibility.

[celticlofts]

Furthermore if the North Koreans had any sense of morality they would have returned those remains in 1953 or shortly thereafter. They have used those remains as a bargaining chip just like they've used their nuclear program as a tool of blackmail against us here in the west. Your trip was ill-advised sir and has cost you at least one vote.

[esigala]

Whats your problem. This guy is bringing home the remains of those brave people who fought to protect the South, not from communsium, but to keep them from being ruled by an opporessive leader.

[ComradeMartin]

Tru dat, nig.

Look up Singmun Rhee and then tell me the Korean War - or our present diplomatic policies - had anything at all to do with "democracy."

[ECHO3QUEBEC]

your a moron and you got fake written over you man..... "because of my ties with the north koreans"...you got ties...dude they hate america

[ak2479]

He was the American delegate to the UN, and unlike John Bolton, gained a name for himself as a fair negotiator. Therefore, he was the only american the N. Koreans would negotiate with. Richardson's work in establishing a negotiating processs/dialogue could go some way towards averting a major global crisis. I would thank him if I were you. And no, I am in no way connected to his campaign.

[ECHO3QUEBEC]

u provided a military aircraft to them.....they probably gave you pig bones....why would they have american bones from the korean war they dont even keep their own peoples remains unless your in some way related to "the great leader"

[Vadaz]

I have to agree with 18seki on this one, although I am a Democrat, illegal immigration is one thing I cannot side with the lefties on. It disgusts me to see illegals saying their "loyalty" is mixed between Mexico and America. When my grandfather came over here from Germany, he realized that he'd have to give up his German lifestyle to assimilate to the American lifestyle, the lifestyle of the people who he now lived among.

[pmsanche]

Well he came from Germany. I'm just taking a shot in the dark, but at the time he came to the United States it would have probably been more inappropriate to wave the German flag than it would to wave both the Mexican and American flag. Just my opinion.

[Vadaz]

My point was, when the immigrants of the late 19th and early 20th century came to America, theyh realized that the U.S. was their new home, and they didn't have this bullshit "conflicting loyalty". They lived in communities like Little Italy, Chinatown, etc, so they could mingle with their respective cultures, but didn't demand that all other Americans learn Italian or Chinese or exemption from taxes.

[pmsanche]

I haven't heard any demands from Mexicans that Americans learn to speak Spanish.

Many Americans demand exemption from taxes. Haven't you heard of Republicans or corporations? It's not exclusive to illegal immigrants.

You haven't properly defined "loyalty". Does that mean you're concerned Mexicans were sent here as some sort of secret war against the U.S.?

[18seki]

Pmsanche, you forced me to get involved again with your burito stuffing face: i) many hispanics are demanding bi-lingual education in the U.S.; ii) also Vadaz's examples relate to immigrants who came here legally. Illegal hispanics are the msot shameless people I have ever encountered. They come here illegally and want Americans to pay for their children's public education and to pay for their emergency health care. STOP ILLEGAL ALIENS!!!

[pmsanche]

"Pmsance, you forced me to get involved again with your burito stuffing face"

In 13 words you have just proved you are indeed a racist, and that you need to go back to school so you can learn to spell.

The "burito" remark is racist. For the record I haven't eaten a burrito in over two years (I'm a vegan).

In an earlier post you misspelled the name of your own religion. When you are properly educated in English as well as the illegal immigration issue, I will continue with our discourse.

[18seki]

Pmsanchez, oh my, you have really been brainwashed by the left wing whereby you are overly sensitized to your own definition of "racism". Umm..

[pmsanche]

Yes Seki, it's quite clear I've been brainwashed by the left wing since I have my own definition of racism. Your logic is flawless. Wow.

It seems quite obvious to me your brain hasn't been washed out.

[18seki]

Pmsanchez, yup, you are so bright that you are a street vendor catering to illegal aliens. Yup.

[pmsanche]

I cater to tourists, and I enjoy being self employed. What does that have to do with my intelligence? Again allow me to applaud your flawless logic. You are indeed a regular Srinivasa Ramanajan.

[18seki]

Pmsanchez, come on now, really intelligent and well educated people do not have to sell tourist trinckets to illegal aliens.

[pmsanche]

The handcrafts I sell are not "trinckets". By the way It's spelled "trinket".

You're right in that with my level of education I don't have to be self employed; I choose to be self employed because it's what I enjoy and I make more than enough money to support myself.

Tourists are not illegal aliens. Go look up the word "tourist" in the dictionary. Reading should do you some good.

[18seki]

Pmsanchez, you could have been self-employed as a lawyer, doctor, business consultant, etc. Instead you choose to sell tourist souvenirs to hispanic "tourists" (hopefully they will return to their taco lands). Umm...

[pmsanche]

The hispanic tourists from the Taco lands? Canada isn't really world renowned for their tacos.

Why do you keep saying "umm..." and "yup"? Sounds like someone is at a loss of words.

Stay in school. Keep on reading. With some hard work you may just be able to attain that GED you yearn for.

[18seki]

Pmsanchez, you are avoiding my question. So you chose to be self-employed and the result is that you are selling souvenirs to tourists? You needed "education" to do that? No wonder you are one bitter burito eater.

[pmsanche]

I haven't avoided any question; I've already explained myself. I graduated from college, but I decided to do something else than what I was striving for when I first entered college. As for avoiding questions you have still refused to answer the question of your ethnicity. Why the big secret?

[pmsanche]

You can't even spell simple words like "Buddhism", "burrito", "trinkets" and "most" even after I point out your error. It's quite obvious you have yet to attain your GED which explains why you can't wait to guzzle down the right wing Kool Aid. Now if you'll excuse me I have a flight to catch. Oh and while I'm gone let somebody else post; we all know you have nothing to offer.

[18seki]

pmsanchez, have a nice trip to Mexico and don't come back!

[Vadaz]

I must admit, I'm in high school, and seeing illegal aliens while get free lunches and schoolbooks while wearing $300 gold chains around their necks and $80 shoes which they replace every two months kinda pisses me off. I think it's the fault of the corrupted Mexican government for not giving a rat's ass, but the people are also at fault for wasting all their welfare money poorly and then crying broke, while demanding equal rights in AMERICA while waving MEXICAN flags.

[pmsanche]

I happen to be a merchant in Los Angeles. When the first protest happened people asked for American flags dozens of times, but we didn't have any in stock because I was part of a Mexican themed shopping area. All we had in stock were Mexican flags; I didn't think to stock any American flags. In reality what happened at the protest was my fault for not stocking American flags.

[18seki]

Pmsanchez, let me know where your store is located so that I can visit and pick up a Mexican flag. Mexicans seem to have lot of national pride on one hand and yet they shamelessly cross into the U.S. and demand services and rights. Shame!

[hypnoid77]

Is Richardson planning on helping with the Iran hostage situation? It seems like an issue that he could really be effective at addressing.

[Vadaz]

Pmsanchez, Shut up. Stop dissing Budhism and any person who isn't of American nationality. Even if he is a Jap, why insult him for it? My Sufi Islam (and let me say to your racist ass that I'm white, American, and that Sufi is far more pacifist than other Islamic cultures) background states that I cannot tolerate injustice either. Realize that there ARE no Japanese terrorists, and do somethin' better than insult some Asian for being different than you.

[pmsanche]

He never said he was asian, all he said was his username is Korean. I believe in evolution, so I don't believe in race; we all came from Africa. Some of my ancestors came from Asia to cross the bering strait.

I was only poking fun at his conspiracy theory about Richardson wanting to lead a "Mexican invasion" against the US. So I started hatching my own FAKE conspiracy theory.

And my username is pmsanche.

[18seki]

Pmsanchez, go ahead if you want, I don't mind being called a Japanese terrorist since I am neither Japanse nor a terrorist. You, on the other hand, represent the fifth column of the U.S. which does not condemn illegal aliens crossing over from Mexico. You should be stripped of your U.S. citizenship assuming that you have one.

[pmsanche]

Wow. You're the one who can't properly spell "Buddhism" in English, yet you imply I don't have U.S. citizenship since I do know how it is spelled. It's the name of your own religion.

What choice do illegal immigrants have, they work for about 50 cents an hour in Mexico. It's a matter of survival, yet you want me to say they are horrible people. Let's get past blind Nationalism and do the human thing. Let's pressure the Mexican government to do right for their people.

[pmsanche]

As for "Budhism", it is properly spelled "Buddhism". I don't understand how Seki18, a Buddhist, could do this. I don't think he is a Buddhist. For the record I almost converted to Buddhism in high school.

Regarding injustice. I think it's an injustice that the Mexican government isn't doing anything for their people; But Seki18 places all the blame on illegal immigrants. I don't think "justice" will be served by rounding up illegal immigrants and sending them to the "sewer called Mexico".

[18seki]

Pmsanchez, so "justice" will be served by having my tax money support these illegal aliens including their healthcare and educating their children in our public schools? Any American who does not condemn illegal aliens is an enemy of the state in my eyes!

[pmsanche]

You appear to be obsessed with money.  Now correct me if I'm wrong, but according to Buddhism, are you not supposed to want material items? Looks like you've lost the faith. It's sad, and I feel sorry for you. I hope one day you can find the Buddha within; until then I wish you the best of luck.

[18seki]

Pmsanchez, "obsessed with money"? You must still be living at your parents' home! You are perhaps unemployed yet content? Try to raise a family including any children (who must now attend public schools due to illegal hispanics flooding the public school system) and then talk to me about being obsessed with money. It's obvious that you really have not faced the challenges of the real world.

[pmsanche]

Three Buddhist monks are walking along a path when the approach a cliff. An IRS agent is hanging over the edge. "HELP ME!" screams the agent. First monk walks over and says "Give me your hand!". The agent declines. Second monk walks over, "Give me your hand!". Again the agent declines. The last monk walks over extends his arm and says "TAKE my hand." And he does.

[18seki]

Pmsanchez, nice try but the U.S. has not extended its hands to illegal aliens and said "Give me your hand" or "Take my hand". Rather illegal hispanics are saying "Your hand is mine!". I now understand why hispanics say my home is your home...because these creatures are already squatters in your own home!

[pmsanche]

Illegal immigration had nothing to do with the story. I'll let you ponder who the story was about.

As for my employment, I own a business. I send my mother a portion of my earnings.

I've made a decision not to contribute to the overpopulation of the Earth, so please excuse me for being responsible.

I've heard enough of your hate speech for this lifetime. This is my last message to you; I wish you the best. And my name is pmsanche.

[trousdaleskates]

you're freaky racist man... i think you have been helped by any mexican at any point of your life or you have just needed the services and i think a mexican has been helpful with that, i think you haven't learned that this country was built up by foreign people, in fact this land is everybody's land, i agree that illegal crossing from Mexico to the U.S. is something unacceptable but that's a issue which the next president should work hard on...

[18seki]

Trousdaleskates, shut up. It's precisely assholes like you who call anyone opposed to illegal aliens as being "racist". Illegals place much burden on the soceity in terms of public schools and emergency hospitals getting overwhelmed. Also if you are not a "racist", why don't you go live with blacks or hispanics?

[joebogarde]

serjgokerg

[oddjob458]

18seki, If Bill constantly talked about his hispanic heritage, then he would come off as some radical with a agenda. I dont care that he is hispanic. I wouldn't care is he was Jewish, black, white, asian, or arabian.

To suggest that he could have split loyalty based simply on his heritage is racism, however small it may be. I'm not saying you're hateful or evil or anything, but it is a form of racism.

[18seki]

Oddjob458, you as well as many good natured people are expanding the definiton of the term "racism". I am not saying that my race is better or worse than hispanics. What I am saying is that whether it's in the country's best interest to have a president who is half hispanic when the country has a serious problem with illegal aliens, most of whom are hispanic.

[VideoHeadMan]

Please post updates on such video entries, such as this. I would love to see if this progress that he hoped had worked. AS WELL, as hearing his frank commentary on if it didn't work, and his ability to face the realities of situations. Thank you.

[kantian82]

18seki's comments are too stupid to merit a response. The strained logic it takes to justify racism is always humorous at first, but horribly disgusting in the end.

[David777111]

This man has negotiated the hard negotiations meaning he is a peacemaker. Blessed are the peacemakers. This man gave credit to businesses that created jobs. He will bring healing to our economy. This man exceeded Kyoto in his state of New Mexico. He will work well with Gore on global warming situations. Best of all he will get our troops out of Iraq. He has my vote

[a1stonemason]

This man Has REAL EXPERIENCE, your all idiots to think this fine AMERICAN would turn his back on us after decades as a GOOD servant of the people !!!

Bush is AN IDIOT, and this man is 1000 x the wanna be man GW dreams he could be.

Bill , will bring hope, humor and SOME SERIOUS TOOLS TO USE IN WORLD AFFAIRS

GO BILL GO

I AM READY FOR 1/2 HISPANI MAN THAN A EMOTIONAL WOMAN WITH FINGER ON BUTTON

[cefleet]

I'm voting for you. I really hope you get it.

[franksolutions]

Touching about the reclaimed bodies after all these years. It was apparently bipartisan. But so far you haven't solved any National or International problems that I can see. Close only counts in horse shoes.

Franklinlacy franksolutions

[18seki]

I don't care, I don't trust any hispanic with the last name of "Richardson".  He must reveal his true identity to the American public!

[bloozshooz]

Bill Richardson was born in Los Angeles and grew up in Mexico City. His father was an American banker who ran Citibank's operations in Mexico, his mother was Mexican. They spoke both languages at home -- you can't get any more bilingual than that! Read his book, it's fascinating.

[18seki]

Bloozshooz, oh my god, Richardson is half hispanic and he grew up in Mexico City. That means he has a divided loyalty between U.S. and Mexico. Do you want someone like that to hold high office (up to even possibly the presidency) in the U.S.? Richardson should be forced to reveal his stance on illegal aliens.

[arik915]

what an ass.....

i was born in america, i grew up in mexico, and speak both languages. and by no way! i have a divided loyalty between the U.S and Mexico.

I am an American, first, and only.

and I am sure Bill is too

[18seki]

Arik915, then why are there so many hispanics marching in the streets of America demanding amnesty for illegal aliens? You may not have an issue with divided loyalty but many (if not most) hispanics do.

[arik915]

true.....but that doesnt mean that Bill has split loyalty.

[18seki]

Arik915, but Richardson, based on his part Mexican heritage, may have such suplit loyalty. I prefer that I don't have to wonder whether the President of the U.S. has any issue with split loyalty. It's already bad enough in the U.S. with politicians selling out the country to Israeli lobbyists!

[kantian82]

this is what you call an "ad hominem" argument and it holds no merit.

[18seki]

Kantian82, then why is Richardson not openly talking about his Mexican heritage? Yes, he does mention it in his autobiography but he certainly cannot hide the information in such detailed book. However when it comes to TV interviews, he never mentions his hispanic background. Based on your opinion, you also must be hispanic.

[pmsanche]

18 seki, I guess you didn't watch the Democratic debate. Yes, he said he is Hispanic on national television.

I sense split loyalties since "Seki" is a city in JAPAN!!!!!!!!!!!! dun dun dunnnnn...

Seki, I demand to know your stance on whether Japan has the right to nuke the U.S. Why aren't you openly talking about your Japanese heritage in every single sentence you speak! Why must you aid and comfort and make out with those who may hurt the U.S. You dirty split loyalist.

[18seki]

Pmsanche, fyi I do not have a drop of Japanese blood in me. But let's say I do just for this discussion. I don't have to explain any allged split-loyalty involving Japan since I am not running for the presidency of the U.S. Please try to use some intelligence in the future.

[pmsanche]

Oh, just admit it. You're Japanese and you are taking part in an elaborate terrorist plot to detonate a bomb at the NASCAR. And it's being financed by the left wing liberal San Fransiscan atheist lesbian flag-burning split-loyalist Commie Jews, or LWLSFALFSCJ for short. Go back to your country and pick some soybeans. Git er done!

[18seki]

Pmsanche, my, my, my, someone is angry here and it's not me. Did you happen to watch Richardson on Jay Leno show? When Leno asked how a hispanic guy got the last name "Richardson", Richardson became visibly agitated. Interesting.

[pmsanche]

Everyone who knows Richardson knows he's Hispanic. Maybe if Richardson had a taco in his hand in all of his Youtube videos and said "Yo queiro Taco Bell" every other sentence you might be satisfied that he has "revealed" he is hispanic.

And I'm not the angry one, I'm not the Japanese terrorist here. Hey Nagasaki was a long time ago, no reason to take it out on the U.S. now. Take a chill pill.

[18seki]

Pmsanche, Richardson is definitely downplaying his hispanic side in the news media. Speaking of tacos, it looks like he's had few too many! It really doesn't matter since Richardson has no real chance at becoming the president. The country is not ready for a half hispanic president. By the way, you fool, "18seki" has nothing to do with Japan or Japanese, LOL!

[pmsanche]

No he is not downplaying it, check out his video in Spanish. Unlike you, who is definitely downplaying your Japanese side, even denying it. The country is not ready for a Japanese terrorist. I also hear you attended a Madrasa, were part of an "anti-ham response plan" at a public school, and prevented the buses from being used in New Orleans. This is huge.

[18seki]

Pmsanche, My Japanse side? You mentioned that "Seki" is a city in Japan? You need to do some more research on that one! End of this dicussion, amigo.

[pmsanche]

Already done the research. Seki, is a city located in Gifu, Japan. Founded in October 15, 1950. Population 94,911.

Don't pretend you haven't heard of Seki. I know you have.

Cutting and running so soon? Okay, go cut and run you cut and runny, slow and bleedy, defeatojapaneseterroristocrat.

[18seki]

Pmsanche, you are such a fool but you think you are so smart. Then perhaps you can explain the numer "18" in front of Seki. I'll give you some hint..."18seki" is a derogatory Korean term and it has nothing to do with Japan or Japanese, you fool.

[pmsanche]

Seki, my, my, my looks like I got under somebody's skin. And you said I was angry.

18 denotes the number of people that are in your terrorist organization from Seki.

As for me being a "fool", why yes I am quite funny. Thank you for the compliment. You may cut and run now. Go ahead, I'm not trying to "fool" you into replying.

[18seki]

Pmsanche, anyway you were wrong about my being Japanese, good night, Mr. Sanchez. My Zen Buhdist background states that I cannot tolerate injustice and hence I felt compelled to speak up on the issue of illegal immigration by hispanics.

[pmsanche]

Well, I happen to take the stance that it's not on the outside that counts, but the inside.  Look within Richardson, he art the Buddha.

[18seki]

Pmsanchez, although I clearly replied that I don't have a drop of Japanese blood in me, you never answered as to whether you are hispanic. Umm...are you ashamed of your hispanic background? Also the only thing Richardson and Buddah have in common are their waste lines. Sayonara, Sanchez!

[pmsanche]

Sounds like someone hasn't reached nirvana. "Meditation time". For someone who claims to be a Buddhist you seem to have trouble spelling the name of your religion correctly.

You never asked about my background.  I don't speak Spanish, but I have ancestors from Mexico as well as the United States.

[18seki]

Pmsanchez, I see, now the truth comes out about your Mexican ancestory which explains your support of Richardson. Finally the truth comes out about Mr. PmSanchez!

[pmsanche]

Seki, I actually am torn between Gravel and Obama. I won't vote for Richardson, but I have no beef with him either. I just don't like the hate I hear from people like you. I believe all humans came from Africa; I don't identify as a Mexican.

[18seki]

Pmsanchez, it doesn't matter that you don't identify yourself as a Mexican because that's precisely what you are. Wait a minute, I wonder whether you may be gay on top of being hispanic! Please advise.

[pmsanche]

I'm also part Caucasian, Asian, Black, and Native American.

Would it scare you if I were gay? I'm not, but homophobics such as yourself tend to be gay. It's okay if you're gay, just come out and admit it; you're a gay Japanese terrorist.

By the way Jewish women are beautiful.

[18seki]

Pmsanchez, let's see...white, black, oriental and casino indian, umm...no wonder you are confused.

[pmsanche]

I'm not the one who is confused; I know who I am. You don't even realize you're a Japanese terrorist. Perhaps you've been brainwashed; you are after all a Republican. Good bye and I hope you get that brainwashing thing checked out.

[18seki]

Pmsanchez, if you want to imagine that I am Japanese or that I am Republican, go ahead if that's what makes you happy. Gee, you must be ashamed of your Mexican heritage since you tried to avoid answering my direction question until I gave you no more space to escape! People like you should be sent back to that sewer called Mexico since I am certain that you take a very soft stance on illegal immigration by hispanics!

[pmsanche]

If you want to imagine I take a soft stance on illegal immigration, based on my surname then that's your racist problem. You seem to forget that you still haven't answered the question of your heritage; I don't care, just pointing out your hypocrisy.

[pmsanche]

You want me to be sent "back" to Mexico? Do you have any ancestors that lived in the United States of America, thousands of years ago before it was the USA? Because I do.

[vRaZ1el]

@18seki

Just to clear something. Richarson is 100% hispanic, not half hispanic. To be hispanic is to be american. Hispanic basically means your mixed. If you want to get technical richarson is mixed with mexican and white blood since his mom is mexican and his dad is white, however he was born in america therefore he is american.

[pmsanche]

Admit it you're feeling Japanese...

OH YES!

You are feeling Japanese.

I really think so.

[18seki]

Kantian82, you are hispanic, I presume?

[bloozshooz]

He's our governor and we love him, you racist.

[18seki]

Bloozshooz, please look up the definition of the term "racism" or "racist". Did I ever say that my race is superior or inferior to hispanics? No, I didn't think so. Stick with the issue: it is a good idea to have a half-hispanic man in the presidency when the country has a serious illegal alien problem involving hispanics? Now that's the issue!

[18seki]

Forget about Richardson. Firstly he is governor of New Mexico so I am not sure why he keeps on sticking his head into North Korean issues. Second Richardson is hispanic although he tries to hide this fact. If Richardson is elected as the president, the entire country will be run over by illegal hispanics. Third Richardson is overly friendly with the evil North Korean regime. Hey, I got an idea...let Richardson become head of North Korea, then perhaps the illegal aliens will go there!

[moni286]

Seriously, 18seki I tried to make myself believe that people with your amount of ignorance and idiocy didn't exist. Unfortunately, your statement clearly shows that's not true. I'm sorry for you.

[mensmaximus]

You're lucky to have him in public office.

[CarlGBVG]

I have no say in who is elected over there unfortunately, despite the huge impact it has on the world as a whole, but regardless of that, I just want to say thank you.

Anything that prevents an attack on North Korea and helps them to get the aid they desperately need is fantastic and at least one person "across the pond" appreciates your efforts on this issue and on Iraq.

[Morsell]

Richardson is the most qualified Dem. He was in the House for 15 years, was Clinton's Energy Secretary and Ambassador to the UN. He is in his 2d term as Governor of New Mexico. North Korea is his latest visit but he has been the go to man for years when we need a tough negotiator to get prisoners return from many rogoe countries.

[nicholas9999]

seems like a credible straightforward guy. also seems knowledgeable, which is highly important.

[boilermacr]

This gentleman MUST be considered in every sentence uttered with "most qualified candidate" for those aspiring to be our next president. Certainly he has more than any of the three leading Democrats...which isn't saying much though.

[simpsonfan21]

The most qualified man for the job! Go Bill, go!

[RodeSportsInc]

The North Koreans have broken every treaty, agreement or letter of intent they have ever signed. Please give me a break. Bringing back American remains are great, beleiveing that the NK's are going to stop their 2 Billion dollar Nuck processor for $25m is laughable!

[ltyr2001]

This guy is the REAL THING!

Bill Richardson FOR PRESIDENT!

He's out there acheiving results while the others claw for the headlines.

Bill is a real leader folks!

[quenedi63]

You sound absolutely presidential. Keep up the good work.

[cinnamoncluster]

I KNEW IT!

[1mile2go]

Bring it on..., Bill's the One!

[OnlineMaven]

Keep this up Bill and I'll have to vote for you.

[fedupful63]

Cut the crap Bill...Go back and get the USS Pueblo back and quit feeding the american people your one world double speak...

[xReadytoIgnite]

lets see you get up there and do a better job

[liberaltruthsayer]

Our Governor ROCKS! BILL RICHARDSON FOR PRESIDENT!!!

[paf0]

way to keep it real bill

Go BILL!!!
