MANCHESTER-- New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson said at a town hall forum that congressional Democrats should not support the president's proposed Wall Street bailout.
Richardson, campaigning for U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, said that Democrats should not "roll over" to the administration's proposals.
"More than anything my hope is that Democrats, and I'm now not speaking for Senator Obama because I'm speaking an American, has a former congressman, has a governor," Richardson said at Southern New Hampshire University. "My hope is that the Democrats don't roll over on this. If you want to bail out banks, if you want to bail out these big financial institutions and insurance companies, what about bailing out homeowners, those people that have lost their homes, what about making sure that this never happens again."
