Started by nmindependent · 9 months ago

Though he wasn’t speaking specifically about the wilderness battle that is raging in Doña Ana County, Republican presidential candidate John McCain said in an interview today that it can take years of bipartisan work to get any wilderness proposal through Congress.

    Did anyone ask him any tough questions or did he get the usual media pass?

    I wish someone would have asked him why he flew in on a plane and then had his massive bus waiting to take him to the Hilton. Talk about gas guzzling. Think about it, the bus had to be driven to Albuquerque from who knows where, while McCain was traveling here by plane. I guess McCain is into talking the talk these days about energy, but not walking the walk.

    I also wish one of the reporters would have asked McCain how Obama would raise taxes on rural New Mexicans. That's pure fabrication unless these rural folks bring in a 6-figure salary. Same for the "jobs, jobs, jobs" McCain is going to bring to rural New Mexico. You'd think someone would have asked him how he'd do that.

    Exactly how would you get McCain, his advisors, his aides, and all those reporters in a Toyota Prius? And Obama is going to raise taxes on everyone, not just the so-called wealthy. He supports bringing back the inheritance tax and raising the capital gains tax (that includes the sale of your house), just to name a couple, so he can "give" us all universal healthcare. Want to know what government-run healthcare might look like? We already have a shining example called the VA!

    Newsflash... a three trillion dollar war in Iraq means that somebody already raised our taxes... and it wasn't Obama. Who and when and how do you think that debt is going to be paid?

    Let me guess commonsense57-Your a person who makes more than $250,000 a year or who sits on his arse making a living watching stocks go up and down. Is it fair that someone can make a living buying and selling stock and only pay a 15% tax rate and someone who actually works for a living has to pay 33%? And by the way let's call the "inheritance tax" what it is an estate tax. I'm surprised you did not use the term "death tax". That tax that the democrats caved on only affects estates over $750,000 dollars and has never claimed a family farm like Republicans wish it would so they could have a poster child.

    To tell you the truth, Obama has been losing favor with me, but you have renewed my commitment. I think I will send him $25 tonight and try not to drive 100 miles this week to save the money. I hope you sleep well in your mansion, while the rest of us suffer through this Republican created depression.

    So, he's a fan of Heather Wilson! Reason enough to vote for Obama. Keep Heather out of government, the further the better.

    The question should be do you want intelligence or four more years of a moron running this nation.

    Lets see my choice is John McCain or that smart black man Barack Obama?

    McCain who does not know how to use a computer but is willing to learn if we elect him
