Governor Bill Richardson, former presidential candidate, was just on Hannity and Colmes and said something along the lines of “We need public financing of these things (elections). I can’t compete with people who raise tens of millions of dollars.”
Governor, maybe there’s a reason you can’t raise money; the people don’t want to give you money because they like the other candidates more than they like you.
If we had public financing Richardson would still be in the race, losing primary after primary while wasting our money doing it. Governor, you didn’t need public financing, you needed to be a better candidate.
Typical loser.
Can’t compete so they want equality of results.
Great post.
Public financing, or as I like to call it, the Incumbent Re-election Act.
That’s how the commies do it.. why wouldn’t the demoRATs want it any other way?
Redistributionist liberal.
He’s a socialist, cry baby! I’m glad he’s out of it. I wished I never had to see that fatasses face on TV again, but of course, since he’s our governor, we’ll be seeing and hearing a lot about him. He’s getting ready to force mandatory health insurance on all New Mexicans! I can’t stand him!!
I was listening to that on XM while driving home earlier - I nearly drove off the road!
Multi-party system. Join a party, pay annual dues, vote for the party candidates. No public funds for intra-party erections as we do it now (I mean the primaries, dummy!), and everyone above seems to approve. Why?
The public at large, whether they are party memebrs or not, and most will not be, votes for the candidates put up by the parties. No soccer mom Independents voting for Hitlery’s tears! Simple.
