John McCain Wants a Manned Mars Expedition
2008-06-07 07:40:00 NOW I KNOW...Now I know why I think John McCain is the right man for the job!"...John McCain said Thursday he would like to see a manned mission to Mars as part of a "better set of priorities" for NASA that would better engage the public. At a townhall event in Florida, the Arizona senator was asked about funding for the US space agency's shuttle program, which is due to end in 2010. He said he "would be willing to spend more taxpayers' dollars" to continue the program but argued that NASA must do a better job of ... More About: Expedition
The Next Female Political Superstar
2008-06-06 21:12:00 CONSERVATIVE WOMEN NEED NOT APPLYSay it ain’t so, Cal. Yesterday I encountered one of the most offensive columns I've ever had the misfortune to read. The worst of it is the fact that it was written by a columnist and conservative pundit I considered far above such things. Someone I respect. The more I think about the title of the column, it makes me think of two things. First, either Barack Obama has so changed the political climate that now substance does not matter, only hot-dogging rhetoric, or someone is trying to lower the bar for GOP women to ...

Pulled by the Border Patrol!
2008-06-06 07:40:00 THURSDAY, JUNE 5Unfortunately there is only one post for today. Real life has interfered with blogging. I know, it’s weird, but there are times when life happens!I’ve had a long, windy day. My mother had a worse day. She did 3 hrs of nuclear medicine in Las Cruces. They are looking for some sort of aortal blockage. That’s the last thing she needs. While she was having her tests, I was shopping. I’m out of condition (shopping condition).

Run Conservative for the Nomination, Then Go Moderate to Win
2008-06-05 16:59:00 THE KID’S TABLE?The Reagan Mythological Makers like to wax poetic about how Ronald Reagan won as a conservative, wooing conservative Democrats to his side. Fact is, it didn’t happen that way. He won over Democrats for two reasons. First, Jimmy Carter, his opponent was the most incompetent and worst President in US history. The other reason – he waged one of the most positive campaigns in modern history. Do you see the word “conservative” in these ads? It isn’t needed. Reagan offered something positive. He did not offer change. He was himself, much the same way John McCain is ... More About: Nomination , Conservative , Moderate
Near Hurricane Force Winds Today
2008-06-05 05:28:00 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4Don’t forget to check my Thursday Thirteen. I did a history of political TV commercials. Today the wind is sustained at 45MPH. We are having near hurricane force gusts of at least 65MPH. My Durango is rocking back and forth in the driveway. There are indications we’re getting a fire in Mescalero. There’s also a nasty one in Artesia. The worst part of this is the deadly weather that is spawned here and turns into tornados farther east. Did I mention we did not go to Las Cruces yesterday? The appointment was changed until today. ... More About: Force , Winds , Hurricane
Politics, New Mexico Style
2008-06-05 04:17:00 WILSON NOW ON "THE" LIST?Local scuttlebutt is that Heather Wilson is now on the VP short list. With her military back ground, slightly moderate stance, she could pull it off. The one thing you wouldn’t need to worry about is her being ‘ready’. I’m wondering if Wilson might decide to run for governor in a year or so. The one good thing about the results of this election is the fact that we have two very good candidates anyone can back and feel no hesitation. I am very pleased about the results. It isn't going to hurt to say ... More About: Politics , Mexico , New Mexico , Style

McCain Must Be Doing Something Right - Can't Please Anyone!
2008-06-04 07:31:00 TUESDAY, JUNE 3 This evening John McCain may have proven that he has POTUS potential. His speech was good. We all know he is not orater. So what? Evidently even conservative bloggers (they hate him anyway) are pulling his speech apart. Evidently he may be entering that rarefied atmospher of a serious GOP POTUS asparant. He can't please anyone. That's a very good sign. I actually liked some of the themes. I like the idea of energy independence and looking for bright new ways to do things. Why not? The big problem, there is a certain segment of the American ...
I Finally Get to Vote for John McCain
2008-06-04 04:37:00 VOTINGEvery time I have the honor and the privilege to vote, I think about the Northern Exposure episode where Chris (the DJ) reveals that he cannot vote because he is a felon. On air he begins to wax poetic about the right to vote and our freedom, our Founding Fathers. When the process begins, he shows up, long hair cut, beard shaved, clad in a suit and tie. Because he has lost the right to vote, all he could ask is to be there to watch others exercise their vote. I think about my great aunt, Mabel Perkins. ...

John McCain, Change, and the Barack Obama Illusion
2008-06-03 20:59:00 METAMORPHOSIS Any good Trekkie automatically associates the word Metamorphosis with the Trek Classic episode featuring Zefram Cochrane. Without giving you a detailed history of space flight, warp drive, first contact with the Vulcans thereby proving that Star Trek is salient to all aspects of life, simply – nah, nothing’s simple with Zefram Cochrane. Metamorphosis features a really bitchy Federation diplomat who was dying; the ship wrecked Cochrane, an interesting creature in love with Cochrane, and the wit and wisdom of James T. Kirk. Long story short, the alien merged with the dying Federation bitchy type. They were able to ... More About: Barack Obama , Change , John , Barack , Obama
Can John McCain Appeal to the Disenfranchised “Clinton Women”
2008-06-03 15:51:00 HERE HE COMES TO SAVE THE DAY!“…Genuine guys are sometimes known as retrosexuals, to distinguish them from metrosexuals, who are men with the good taste of gay men, only they're straight. Metrosexuals are scrupulous about their grooming and are great consumers of men's cosmetic products. They use hair gel. Retrosexuals are scared of hair gel. Some people think that retrosexuals automatically have Neanderthal views about women, but this is not the case. A retrosexual is simply someone who doesn't know the difference between teal and aqua, and frankly couldn't give a damn….”They call him Retrosexual. The ... More About: John , John McCain , Appeal

How Badly Wrong Can I Get This One? (I hope)
2008-06-03 06:36:00 MY VP PROGNOSTICATIONI want to state up front that I want Sarah Palin to be on the “Ticket” as VP. I have my doubts if she will make it, simply because of the series of polls Survey USA has been putting out about the VP stakes. If you take the time to study them, poll after poll, Mike Huckabee does the most to help John McCain win voters and influence electors. The same holds true for John Edwards on Obama’s ticket.

Barack Obama, Religious, Shallow, or Psychopath
2008-06-03 05:02:00 MY VOTE IS FOR THE LATTER“…Most criminals -- whether psychopathic or not -- are shaped by poverty and often childhood abuse as well. In contrast, corporate psychopaths typically grew up in stable, loving families that were middle class or affluent. But because they're pathological liars, they tell romanticized tales of rising from tough, impoverished backgrounds. Dunlap pretended that he grew up as the son of a laid-off dockworker; in truth, his father worked steadily and raised his family in suburban comfort. The corporate psychopaths whom Babiak studied all went to college, and a couple even had PhDs. Their ... More About: Barack Obama , Barack , Obama , Religious
Yet Another NM UFO! (Update A Weather Balloon)

I’m not talking about our medical system, but the problems immigrants, detainees, and those deemed less important than “legal” Americans. There is a bottom line here. Detainees at Gitmo who are terrorists receive better treatment than those who are being held on immigration charges. There is something wrong with that picture, seriously wrong.

Barack Obama and the Culture of Death
2008-05-31 18:38:00 A BARACK OBAMA ABORTION PRIMER There is another reason we need to band together to defeat Barack Obama . He is one of the most pro-abortion candidates we’ve ever seen. There are some terrifying new developments in assisted suicide in California. Considering Obama’s view on partial birth abortion and his plans to socialize medicine it has terrifying implications for everyone who isn’t absolutely perfect, young, healthy, and beautiful.

A New Mexico Bombshell: Outgoing Domenici Endorses Wilson
2008-05-31 07:25:00 SO DO II like Steve Pearce. Thus said, I am furious with him for deserting his 2nd District House Seat and running against Heather Wilson for the US Senate Seat Pete Domenici is vacating. Right now, the way things look, not only are we going to lose Wilson's Congressional District, but we could lose the 2nd. The Dems are running another of those Blue Dogs that are decimating our House numbers. The way it stands now, if the election were held today, Democrat Tom Udall would easily defeat either candidate.

Conservatives Mistreating Bush & the McClellan Betrayal
2008-05-30 05:14:00 IT WILL HAUNT THEMI think one of the saddest things I’ve seen in quite awhile is this book by Scott McClellan. It is tragic. There is no happy ending for this story, none. Scott McClellan, unless he becomes a vast left wing nut, is finished. He has betrayed people who were good and decent to him. He’s burned his Republican bridges, but from what I hear from Michael Medved’s broadcasts, his mother detests GWB and the GOP, has gone third party. His father is a disbarred Texas attorney.
