Richardson's comments summed up:

I briefly visited those itsy, bitsy living rooms in New Hampshire and Iowa and after I brushed the dog hairs off me and kicked the wine coolers out from under my feet, I was able to sit on their bean bags and talk with the real Americans.

These people don't pay taxes so they don't want a tax cut. These informed Weekly Reader subscribers agree that only communism will solve America's problems. I, and my party, agree.

Any questions, Chrissy?

...a "centrist."

OK then.

Only Liberaland is being between Marx and Lenin considered "Centrist".

Or Richarson, for that matter, that what the people mean by:

collectively we need to win these battles

might be that they want less partisanship and more work out of Washington?

Could someone please show me links to where it was ever easy for the middle class to send their kids to college?  I don't seem to be able to find anything.  The middle class has always struggled to do it, but did it without Washington.

Come on, for Pete Sake!! Just say it already!

We're promising a switch from this country's over 200 year Representative Republic democracy and capitalism to Communism ...

The American people want somebody that'll say to them, collectively we need to win these battles for universal health care, for eradicating cancer, for ending this war, for protecting pensions, for protecting the American people. The jobs that today are going overseas, the enormous strain on the American people, the middle class, simply to send their kids to college and deal with wages that haven't kept up with inflation.

I'm for mom and apple pie, talk about a montage of action points.  So what's your plan there Mr. Dem, collectivize society and do away with individual initiative???  What's really rediculus when you look at his list is the Dems are at the core root of the problem facing each talking point.

Universal Health Care - Dem stealth phrase for Socialized Medicine that will lower the quality of care for seniors and essentially cut off new drug development like in other Socialized countries. Tell us, if Socialized medicine is so good why are Canadians coming here for medical treatment, like that mom with multiple births?

Cancer research has been limited by the diversion of funds for AGW research ($50 billion), pork barrel spending and other vote buying scams created by Dems.  Not to mention state funding of the dead end line of embryonic stem cell research, which could have gone to adult stem and cord stem cells producing even more additional therapies than the no results of their pet agenda.

Ending the war, by their opposition and demands for early withdrawal they have actually prolonged the conflict in Iraq and caused the deaths of thousands of Iraqis by egging on the terrorists in the hope the Dems will be successful in forcing a pull out.  Now the dolts are criticizing Maliki as ineffective when they themselves equally to blame.

Protecting Pensions, by their incessant demands to tax every form monetary transaction and increase taxation rates, they endanger the 401k plan investments of millions of Americans.  American Retirees are a large source of investment dollars in the economy.  Attacking the oil companies with feel good legislation is actually attacking the investors in those companies, namely the retirees and many institutional Pension plans like Calpers, etc.  If the economy does poorly, the retirees do poorly.

Protecting Americans, yea right, that's why you Dems supported the NYT in outting secret government operations against terrorists? You dolts were against the NSA wire taps of foreigners and people who call known terrorist associated phone #s?   Boy, with friends like you who needs enemies.

Inflation, jobs going overseas, college educations.  Again you libs just can't help yourselves making assertions that somehow the Repubs or W are at the core of some emotional feeling of distress, sounds like BDS, take two Xanax and call me in the morning.  Blaming everyone else but yourselves for life's problems is the classic sign of a drug abuser. 

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane. Marcus Aurelius

This is the new Dem arrogance: espousing Marxism publicly. Instead of waiting after the election to reveal their socialist agenda, they are telling us beforehand.

"Rugged Collectivism"

Somehow it just doesn't have the same ring... 

The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on.

.....that Richardson was the most sane of a mostly insane group of candidates.

Oh well.

Media let hard-core Democratic partisans pretend to be journalists. I wonder how many people know that Matthews worked for Jimmy "Commie" Carter? So what do you expect?!

Richardson and Matthews, the weakest of straw men show their true colors.

So, is Richardson a centrist?  Of course he is.  What the Bolsheviks - er, the Dimmhicrats - advocate is a massive, collectivist society that is centrally governed, an abolition of private policy and most of the basic resources and services owned and dispersed by the state.

A moderate?  Yes.  Moderately dimwitted with a Messiah complex to boot.
