Although Richardson has no historic connection to the [[Latino]] population of the U.S. (his mother was from Mexico), he moved to New Mexico and became governor to capitalize on his Hispanic connections and looks. His political career is independent of the [[Latino]] community.

==Liberal Agenda==
As Governor of New Mexico, Richardson has pushed an extreme liberal agenda. Examples include:<br />
Asserting his own dubious morality in legalizing medical marijuana as "the right thing to do."<ref>[http://news.aol.com/elections-blog/2007/03/18/bill-richardson-and-medical-marijuana/ Bill Richardson and Medical Marijuana], [[AOL]] News</ref><br />
Allowing [[illegal aliens]] to get driver's licenses in immediate violation of the Real I.D. Act<ref>[http://www.ontheissues.org/Cabinet/Bill_Richardson_Immigration.htm Bill Richardson on Immigration], Ontheissues.org</ref>. This renders every New Mexican's driver's license invalid for the purposes for clearing airport security.<br />
Richardson also supports a radical pro-gay agenda<ref>[http://lesbianlife.about.com/od/lesbianactivism/p/BillRichardson.htm Bill Richardson on Gay Issues], About.com</ref>, but this doesn't stop him from using hate slurs in Spanish<ref>[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lane-hudson/bill-richardsons-gay-slu_b_55656.html Bill Richardson's Gay Slur], [[Huffington Post]]</ref>.
