The New Mexico Independent: Pearce unveils new TV ads, slams Robert Redford as ‘the kind of ultraliberal activist that Tom Udall has allied himself with over the years’

    We should be asking directly and publicly for the extreme outrageous conservative Mr. Pearce to stand up and defend the votes he made against the interests of New Mexico and the country. He has one of the worst records of selling out to the oil companies. He constantly opposed renewable energy. If I was a Republican I would be ashamed of him. Heather Wilson should have been the nominee. Even McCain wants to distance himself from this irresponsible ultra right candidate tied to the lobbyists.

    It is funny that Mr. Pearce is now so concerned about high gas prices since he has been in a form of hibernation since he was first elected in 2003. In 2007 Mr. Pearce was the only member of our congressional delegation to vote against Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards (CAFÉ) to increase auto fuel efficiency standards. This has plagued the auto industry. Mr. Pearce, I am sorry - you had five years in office, and you absolutely did nothing to help New Mexico families. With $200,000 from the oil industry, it is your first priority not America. Tom Udall may not have all the answers, but he is the best candidate to grapple with the nation's energy crisis.

    The ads show that "Drillbit" Pearce is the problem, and he has no answers for our energy crisis except to give more billions of dollars to the oil companies!

    It is funny that Senator McCain had actor Robert Duvall speak at a recent Albuquerque rally instead of the lobbyists' friend Steve Pearce. Twice Pearce has been upstaged by actors. No wonder he slams actors and celebrities.

    Why didn't you get a response to this from Udall or fact check it? Or do journalists now just accept the handouts of candidates as fact?
