Richardson; Cruz isn’t Latino enough. Or something.
So, some guy named Bill Richardson is telling us that Ted Cruz, you know, a guy with an actual Hispanic name isn’t Latino enough to represent the concerns of brown people. Or something. Hell, I’m more Latino than Richardson; at least I have an “a” on the end of my last name and have to speak the language everyday of my life in my house. And I watch Azteca TV’s weird news program, Al Extremo, every night. From Breitbart;
ABC News: Do you think he represents most Hispanics with his politics?
“No, no. He’s anti-immigration. Almost every Hispanic in the country wants to see immigration reform. No, I don’t think he should be defined as a Hispanic. He’s a politician from Texas. A conservative state. And I respect Texas’ choice. But what I don’t like is… when you try to get things done, it’s okay to be strong and state your views, your ideology. But I’ve seen him demean the office, be rude to other senators, not be part of, I think, the civility that is really needed in Washington.”
So, apparently, you can’t be an Hispanic if you don’t adhere to the liberal line. I think Cruz represents the core beliefs of the Latino community better than Richardson and a majority of the community understand. My wife, a legal immigrant who jumps through hoops every couple of years to remain here, doesn’t think much of immigration reform. I suppose she’s not Hispanic enough for Richardson, either.
Category: Liberals suck
They don’t want anybody looking behind the curtain. Too much to lose.
Ever notice just how racist the Liberal elite are? Which is kind of ironic because they always accuse conservatives of being die hard racists.
He’s anti-immigration.
Uh, Bill? Horseshit. What part of ILLEGAL don’t you understand?
Bill Richardson, former ambassador and former New Mexico governor if it is the same one – despite his Anglo name does claim to be Hispanic by ancestry. Strong Democratic administration supporter; believe when he was ambassador was during Clinton’s reign. In other words, a party mouthpiece. Cruz is second generation Cuban. Not sure how far back Richardson’s roots go. Typical party tactics; essentially this is the Hispanic equivalent of calling Herman Cain an Uncle Tom. “It ain’t that he’s XXXX, it’s that he ain’t XXX enough”… which translates to “but he’s Pepublican!”
He’s anti-immigration? Really? And here I thought he was just anti-criminal invader.
Laughed really, really loudly when I first read this. Let’s see – a fairly light skinned latino name Richardson is criticizing a light skinned latino named Cruz about their respective degrees of latinoness.
Yeah, they worked that angle against Cruz really hard during the election, You see how well that worked out for them. Maybe they are setting up for a presidential run he might make later. Nothing else makes a bit of sense.
The liberal elite have done more to hold back minorities in this country than any other group that I can think of. They remain in control of the minority vote by promising them the moon and the stars, delivering about 1/4 of it and then blaming the “racist” Republicans when their shit don’t fly. Any person from a minority group who thinks for themselves and raises the bullshit flag is immediately undermined as some sort of turn coat to their particular group. Senator Cruz was elected to represent Texas, which by all accounts he is doing to the satisfaction of his constituents. Bill Richardson is a former Blue State Governor and Clinton crony who has sucked at the government tit for his entire adult life. He is a lying turd and another reason why politics is so toxic.
That’s typical of the racist left, anyone who leaves their plantation is suddenly a “sellout”!
What’s next, Chuck Schumer calling Cruz a “coconut” or some shit like that?
Typical progtard intolerance and deceit. Pile on this with the D=ooshnozzle dimwit in SC that said he wanted to send the governor of that state state back to “wherever in the hell she’s from.” But, according to what they say, progtards are all in favor of immigration, both legal and illegal. They really don’t mean it. They are hateful, filthy bigots.
Hmmmmm. I wonder if this is the same “Bill Richardson” who claimed to have been drafted by the KC Athletics and/or Chicago Cubs out of college for years – but who was later found never to have in fact been drafted by either team? And who was nominated for the position of Commerce Secretary in Dec 2008, but who withdrew his name from consideration 32 days later when it came to light he was under investigation for financial improprieties? And who was named one of the 11 worst governors in the US by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington in 2010?
If so, we should believe every word he says. His credibility is obvious.

Hondo–and don’t forget he was on the short list for VP in 2004 until some “questions” regarding sexual impropriety with a staffer came up…and then we get Edwards, who really WAS banging someone while his wife had terminal cancer.
Yeah, I want character guys like Richardson calling me out…LOL.
How dare someone not 100% European decent think for themselves and not toe the DNC party line.
Apparently you can’t be a minority if you’re not Democrat. If you dare to think for yourself, you’re a traitor. That goes for minorities in skin color, gender, sexual orientation, or any other -ism that means non White Male Christian.
Fucking scumbags.
I’m from New Mexico and that fat fuck should shut his pie hole, or if he is going to say something he can start explaining all the kickbacks and corruption that were hallmarks of his administration.
What a fucking tool
“But I’ve seen him…be rude to other senators, not be part of, I think, the civility that is really needed in Washington.”
Bwahahahahahahahah. That’s the best friggin endorsement of Cruz that Cruz could hope to receive! I’m tired of the Grey PouPon nicieties. Give me a guy with yellow mustard on his tie every time.
Richardson should fucking stick to trying to re-open the X-Files:

Richardson just appeared on Shep Smith’s Studio B show and awkwardly backtracked…I mean there was a very long silence and then fumbled around for an explanation when Shep Smith pressed Bill on his statement. I guess you have to watch the clip…Richardson was so lame. If you say it – own it or offer a full apology. MSM silent on this.
Lets not forget what former chairman of South Carolina Democratic party Dick Harpootlian said about Gov Nikki Haley the other day. Of course most of liberal media is out to lunch and can’t be bothered. At least The Daily Beast is willing to say something. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/05/06/yes-democrats-can-be-racist.html
Richardson is a nut. He has several odd peccadilloes that are well-known by those in his adopted home state who work with him on a regular basis.
I wonder if this doesn’t have more to do with a general New Mexican perspective that colors their view on everything about Texas. New Mexicans hate the wealth and influence of their hard-working neighbor. The fact that Cruz is Republican and a Cuban are just bonuses for the Spanish/Mexican Richardson.
“So, apparently, you can’t be an Hispanic if you don’t adhere to the liberal line.”
Nothing new here. They do this to black patriots all the time.
Naw, we don’t hate Texas (cept they don’t know what real chili is). We just have a bunch if damn transplanted Californians and voter fraud that keeps the Dems in office.
Cruz just got Zimmermann’d!!!
As a mexican that has to wrestle every few years to try to stay here I might not be mexican enough as I’m still wondering why those dudes get a free green card and mine costs 20k and takes an insane amount of time and hoops and politics…
I thought you were defined as Hispanic if you were .. you know .. like … hispanic, like have decedents that spoke a language derived from Latin instead of a germanic language? Might be wrong!!!
BTW on a weird ridiculous note, I just had a background check for a nice Les Baer Custom Carry a few weeks back and in the “race” square hispanic is NO longer there, there is another box (kid you not!) that says “Hispanic / Not hispanic” …. way to make me feel a bit more “out of the box” *facepalm*
Keep in mind the source here: Bill Richardson is a venal and thoroughly corrupt Democrat politician who would likely be in a federal prison now if Obama had not become president. Within months of of Obama taking office Eric Holder forced the U.S. Attorney’s office in New Mexico to drop its ongoing investigation of rampant pay-for-play corruption during Big Bill’s eight years as governor. The citizens of New Mexico were bilked out of hundreds of millions through investment schemes concocted by Bill and his appointees which enriched the players and screwed the payers.
Bill’s Hispanic alright, half Mexican in fact, and just as nastily corrupt as every other politico in that country where bribes and cronyism are the natural way of governing and doing business. To anyone who really knows Bill Richardson, his opinions on any topic are worthless. Even Bill and Hill don’t trust this snake after the way he back-stabbed her in the 2008 primary. Think about that for a moment: even his fellow snakes don’t trust this thoroughly unscrupulous, self-serving, reptilian jerk.
All I have to say to that is…

It’s okay, your wife and I can hang out in apparently-not-Hispanic-enough land.
