Much waste of Richardson’s time and our time. Several minutes were spent in a meaningless discussion of Richardson’s quarrel with a bereaved mother of a Marine over some death benefit proposal. How tabloid. Richardson was pressed to “apologize” for some offense that Richardson said about five times was the product of different recollections. Then Russert asked “[y]ou’re running on your resume” in a dismissive fashion. Or, “you joined the boards of oil companies. That’s right Tim, NBC cannot hire every ex-Democrat politician, how every much they’d like to and Richardson certainly has a right to earn a living. Much of Russert's focus was this, and other, personal nonsense; nonsense that is far better left on the margins than at the Sunday morning center.
It’s sad to see Richardson pursue a hard left flight pattern. He’s never been a winger, and I don’t think he would govern as one if somehow elected. It’s also sad to see Richardson subduing his usually jovial personality with feigned seriousness that makes him look more like the Maytag repairman than President.
Richardson said his model of a Supreme Court Justice is Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Marry that thought to Richardson’s position as a centrist Democrat and every conservative reading this will understand why the Republican Party is the only hope to implement a conservative public policy.
Our raison d'être here at TRS
“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.” John Stuart Mill
We at The Real Sporer believe that the crises of our generation is the preservation of a United States of America based on fundamental rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Oddly enough, our generation, that grew in the quiet and secure 50s, 60s and 70s and thought we could escape history now find ourselves at the cross roads of history. At a time when the prevailing media, academic and even now industrial elites find the easy road of paternalistic socialist totalitarianism more expedient to travel we are convinced that only preserving the more traditional America will better provide the well known blessings of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to us and our posterity.
In the real world, the Republican freedom agenda is the only alternative to the thought police and rations commissar of the socialist nanny state. But the agenda that we share with the founding generation, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, will never again prevail if we don't fight our generation's battle to renew America's commitment to freedom with our socialist adversaries.
Our mission statement is therefore clear: provide the information and argument that leads to a Republican Renaissance and Republican governance.

I was particularly disappointed in Richardson's flip flop over Iraq. He stated in a book less than 18 months ago that we can't leave Iraq until we fix it. Now, he's shooting to the Liberal Left and stated we have to leave Iraq. He said we need to maintain bases in Kuwait but I gotta tell you that won't happen if we leave with our tails between our legs. Richardson next said we need to leave Marines behind to defend our Baghdad Embassy. Is he NUTZ? That embassy will be overrun in hrs if we leave the way he talks and the Marines will surely give a good account of themselves but they will certainly die defending the Embassy. All of our personnel will be paraded infront of Al Jazeera and the women of the staff will have a much harder time then the men. The Marines will all be dead so they don't factor in at that point.
One more thing, he stated we need to pay more attention to the Israeli/Palestinian debate. Wow, what insight except Bill Clinton spent his last few years giving everything he could to the Palestinians only to walk away empty handed. Richardson was part of that process by his own admission. So what's changed to suddenly make him successful. Unless his plan is to remove Israel as that seems to be the only position the Arab world will tolerate.
Richardson just proved he has no business as President nor does he understand the Middle East just because he's visited.
If Richardson's vision of a model SCOTUS justice is Ginsburg..then he's not the "centrist" Democrat that he makes himself out to be.
Ginsburg if memory serves me was the former national counsel for the ACLU..and lord knows that if anything..the ACLU is not "centrist".
Russert has sadly lowered himself to the ranks of Chris Matthews in terms of his journalistic integrity and quality.
Its no wonder the MSNBC debate was so widely panned as being vapid and of little substance.
