Democrats for McCain

Pay close attention, Clinton says it best in the end!

McCain is Back!

In my last post I advocated that John McCain would have to come back to New Mexico very soon... McCain's campaign thought so too! Senator McCain will be in Las Cruces on Wednesday for a town hall meeting. This is a good move on behalf of the McCain campaign. With Obama and Democrats focused on the more liberal Northern part of the state, McCain can personally appeal to 'on the fence' Republicans and conservative Democrats here in Southern New Mexico. While there are more voters in the Albuquerque/ Santa Fe area, there are a bounty of crossover votes here in Las Cruces and energy rich businessmen located throughout Southern New Mexico who might be more inclined to donate to McCain's campaign. The event is expected to have well over 500 people attend at the NMSU sports annex. Hope to see you there McCainiacs!

McCain in New Mexico

John McCain needs to make another trip back to New Mexico. With Hillary Clinton visiting Espanola next week along with the anointed one Obama, McCain needs to stress the importance New Mexican voters have in his campaign. His efforts in New Mexico have been average with a presence on television and radio but he needs more. His campaign in New Mexico is lukewarm at best and unorganized. Instead of following the intensity of grassroots efforts like Obama (opening a whopping 23 campaign offices across the state) his campaign is too busy handing out honorary titles to large donors who do what they do best, donate. McCain needs an active and engaged campaign that allows energized supporters to really take a public face in their respective communities. I support Senator McCain and will do what I will continue to do what I can for the good Senator. I just hope McCain's leadership in this state get their act together and get organized. People are seeing the difference.

True Voice, True Leader

Viva McCain! This is a worthy outreach to Hispanics by McCain. He has done an excellent job working to court more Hispanic voters. I recently was named Chairman of his Hispanic Coalition here in Dona Ana. I will be working diligently to make sure Hispanics understand why John McCain shares their values in God, Family, and Country. Our community must ask themselves intelligent yet simple questions of what they look for in a leader. I hear the BS Democrats feed my people, "he's too old" or "he is for war"; these are both lies. Age is wisdom and commands respect in the Hispanic community, especially here in New Mexico. John McCain knows what war is and is a proven leader when it comes to the national security of this country. Obama has no clue what war is or about, all he knows is what CNN tells to think. Hispanics have become the fourth leg in American body politic... it is our time for true representative leadership.

Dollars and Change

Sen. Barack Obama is running his campaign on change. He taps into the illogical depths of human emotionalism and broadcasts his message of puppy dogs, rainbows, and candy canes...items which his supporters feel the world is lacking under this administration and what they would lack under McCain. When I am asked if I desire change I honestly respond, "I'd rather have dollars than change." It seems like a smart ass response but America is safe, growing, and strong.

Correct me if I am wrong but how many terrorist attacks have happened on our soil since 9/11? Regardless of this years slowing economy, small business is still providing 60-80 percent of new jobs and continues to grow. It may be tough workers, small business owners, and the elderly but America has seen worst. We are a tenacious nation that can weather ANY storm, fight any battle, and work towards a general progress.

I like my America. It is a fact that there are negative aspects to our society but on a whole we have it allot better than most people around the world. I don't want change, I desire progress and only John McCain can effectively deliver it. I want small business to continue growing, I want taxes lowered for business and the middle class, I want conservative judges who will interpret the constitution as is, I want America to remain safe and continue to support the young democracies in Iraq and Afghanistan, and most importantly I want America to remain a country where 'In God We Trust'.

Obama and his messianic change is nothing revolutionary. Politicians have been promising change for years. Heck the Democratic party of New Mexico has been promising change for years and the only real change would be a Republican Roundhouse and Governors mansion (I continue to dream, believe, and hopefully achieve). All the change an elected Obama would bring is higher taxes, socialized health care, socialized schools, and a socialized society... say good bye to the American Dream because 'morning in America' will briskly turn to dusk.

Call me a capitalist pig (which many Obama supporters already do) but I really would rather have dollars than change. I blame the uncertainty of our markets and economy on this epic presidential election and the prospect of an Obama administration. John McCain will not provide a false sense of security in an ugly world, he will bring attainable peace, progress, and stability.

My Fellow Americans

I have one simple message, VOTE!!!! Today we must exercise our liberty to vote for those whom we want to represent us in our necessary government. I will spare you the civics course rhetoric and patriotic flag waving but the right to vote is a cornerstone to our epic Republic! Democrats and Republicans all seek to implement their respective principles in government and yes the only way they can is to convince the electorate to vote for them. This is a simple dirty/respectable fact.

My work on the campaign trail this past month has rejuvenated my commitment to serve God, Family, and Country. This CD-2 race has been tough but I have inherited a cornucopia of campaign knowledge. Yes I have been supporting specific Republicans in this primary and most of you have figured out whom; in the general election I vow to support my nominees to the fullest extent actively or through other means.

I know that I may be exiled from particular candidates and persons but that is just the cold hard fact in campaigning. I picked my battles and today we will see if I won the war. Either way I gave it my all and now on to the voters crap shoot.

SENATOR McCAIN - THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR HISPANICS

By: Carly Fiorina
May 5, 2008

Mexican Americans have contributed to the cultural fiber of the United States in so many ways - and today we celebrate those contributions as well as our common visions. It's important that we continue this rich combination by electing a president who is the best choice for Americans and who will share their values and interests.

We mark the anniversary of the Battle of Puebla by celebrating the hope and courage of an outnumbered band of Mexican soldiers. Under the leadership of Gen. Ignacio Zaragoza, these soldiers fought and won in the name of freedom for their people. That same spirit is very much alive today in our Armed Forces - in which many brave Latino Americans serve - whose great sacrifices are very much appreciated by Sen. John McCain. Though we are fighting a very different war, we do so under the banner of freedom that led Gen. Zaragoza's troops as well.

As the largest minority group in the U.S., many Hispanic Americans have followed the American Dream, an ideal Sen. McCain highly believes in and endorses. It is also worth noting Sen. McCain's strong leadership on immigration issues. He wants to bring our country forward, providing opportunity for all who are willing to achieve this dream.

As I've said before, the American Dream starts with a home and a job - with the proper tools, everything else will fall into place. To get started on that mission, Sen. McCain has proposed a number of initiatives to put an end to the current housing crisis and make sure it doesn't happen again by targeting predatory lenders and creating transparency in the lending system. His HOME plan will bring targeted relief to families affected by the current housing crisis. Under the plan, all deserving homeowners will be able to trade cumbersome mortgages for a manageable loan comparable to the home's market value.

Sen. McCain also has made innovative proposals to improve the economic climate for small businesses to succeed. With over two million Hispanic-owned businesses generating nearly $300 billion annually for the economy, there is potential under Sen. McCain's economic plan for these businesses to grow even stronger.

The pro-growth tax agenda that Sen. McCain endorses is very much in line with the needs of many Hispanic-American families. His plans to keep taxes low, cut taxes for middle-class families, and free up more money for hardworking Americans. You see, Sen. McCain believes that power and choice should be in the hands of the people, not the government. It is the American people, not the government, who work hard to earn their paychecks and deserve to manage their money without government influence.

To ensure that our children are able to continue our legacy and be afforded opportunities we weren't, our education system must provide them with the skills to succeed. As the achievement gap continues to narrow, we must hold our schools to the highest standards and push for continued improvements.

Sen. McCain is the right choice for all Americans because he will keep their best interests at heart - in the business sector, in the classroom, and at the dinner table, because he shares similar values. That's why it's important that John McCain has the support of the Latino community, because they have his support.

Pearce-Wilson Debate

Some thoughts on the GOP Senate debate in Los Alamos this past Friday. Who designates a win for Wilson? Northern 'common sense' conservatives? oh please... I will concede to Wilson's excellent performance and preparedness in the debate but she did not win the debate. There was no winner in the debate, in fact the Republican party lost as a whole. Why? Heather Wilson's attack on Congressman Pearce's nay vote on the DOE budget and Los Alamos funding doesn't help her campaign, it helps the Democrats and Tom Udall. It will now be difficult for the Pearce camp to attack Udall's anti-DOE and DOD funding this fall.

There is no doubt that Pearce will win the primary this June. Wilson does the party and the state a disservice by staying in the race. I have a great respect for the Congresswoman, she is one of the most intelligent members of Congress but her personal ambition is hurting the parties chances of defeating liberal 'tree hugging' Udall this fall. Pearce's vote in the DOE budget was one that involved true 'common sense'. There were numerous million dollar earmarks attached to the budget by Democratic representatives. Congressman Pearce is the 'common sense' conservative because he believes in halting wasteful earmark spending by our federal government.

Congresswoman Wilson, like Congressman Pearce supports our national laboratories and common defense but she doesn't support the conservative staple to being fiscally conservative. The DOE budget needed to be returned to committee, sub-committee, and joint committee to fix the over spending in the budget. Congressman Pearce's unwavering dedication to fiscal conservatism and the American tax payer should be applauded not attacked by a 'common sense' conservative. Again, Congresswoman Wilson is highly intelligent but she may not have much common sense in this case.

Cowboy from California

Las Cruces and our state is under attack! We are being invaded by progressive idealism that dilutes the New Mexico we know and love. A brief description of an invader has been provided to me. Have any of you seen this individual?

He is a 61 year old retiree who just recently moved to OUR hometown from the West Coast. The man is a 'cowboy from California' and has a pair of shiny calfskin boots (has to 'blend' in with the locals although he will never use them properly), a ponytail (a flower child to the end), and an over sized straw Mexican sombrero he bought in Santa Fe the previous weekend (he needs lots of shade from this hot New Mexico sun). His daily routine begins with drinking a cup of organic Starbucks coffee that costs $8 while reading the New York Times to see how President Bush is personally adding poison to the water sources in New Orleans. He then makes his way down to COAS bookstore to check out Marx, Rousseau, and Kant. To his delight he finds a used copy of Obama's communist manifesto. He then drives his new Honda back to his Miranda Street bungalow located near pioneer park and shuts off his neighbors sprinklers because of wasteful watering. He makes his way inside, grabs some tropical infusion fruit drink and sinks into his authentic leather couch he bought on sale at Sam's Club. He grabs his eco-friendly laptop that he donated a tree in place of his sin against the liberal commandment, "thou shall not waste electricity unless you buy a tree to make up for your carbon foot print." As he checks in on the Sierra Club's website he scrolls over to Haussamen's blog to read how Bill McCamley is going to save the Mesilla Valley from greedy capitalist pigs that develop all these haciendas for the part time 'cowboys from California'. He then checks his fellow baby boomers site, what's his name? He was handed a heavy defeat by Pat Lyons in the last election...hmmm, he's real liberal, whines too much about losing, and has short man's syndrome... his name escapes me. He then stumbles upon this fine entity of a blog/rant/perspective piece and is horrified that a young Hispanic can be conservative and articulate. What an atrocity to Che Guevara's legacy! He writes 20 editorials to the Sun-News, lefty blogs, and attacks the young conservative in the heat of his illogical emotions. He then picks up his anti-war, anti-baby, anti-American poster sign and makes his way down to the courthouse on Main Street to protest just like he did in the summer of '68!

This individual is multiplying at a significant rate and claims to be the last 'cowboy from California'. He even tries to make things better for us by organizing with other golden heroes to close the gates of prosperity to others, reform our values and system, and promote his doctrine of progressive liberalism even though we don't want it. He buys city councilmen, mayors, congressional candidates, and worships five times a day to his gilded savior Barack Obama.

Time is crucial in apprehending this individual. Hide your impressionable children, your pesticides, SUV's and then contact your local sheriff.

Pearce: The Pro-Life Candidate

Something all you 'common sense' conservatives may want to know, today the National Right to Life Committee endorsed Congressman Steve Pearce. According to his press release, He was "honored and humbled to have National Right to Life's endorsement, because their values are close to my heart and are shared by so many New Mexicans. Having National Right to Life's support only increases my confidence that we will be successful in November." The National Right to Life Committee is one of the largest pro-life organizations in the country.

In their endorsement letter, the National Right to Life Committee pointed to Congressman Pearce's "strong pro-life record" that has earned him the support of "all voters who are concerned with the right to life and the protection of the most vulnerable members of the human family." Pearce goes on to say "The sanctity of life is a fundamental part of our New Mexico values. I will continue to stand for the protection of innocent life at all stages."

This is a big endorsement for Congressman Pearce because it clearly gives him the status as the genuine pro-life candidate in this Republican primary. He was also endorsed by the Susan B. Anthony List earlier last month as well. The Susan B. Anthony List is an organization that promotes pro-life female candidates. No one can argue about his strong record in support of life and families. Congressman Pearce is with out question the true 'common sense' conservative who has the voting record to back it up.

Disgrace, Distaste, and Liberal Anti-Americanism

I wanted to post this video that Mario Burgos put up on Wednesday. It shows a veteran attempting to stop the desecration of our Flag and being mocked by "know it all" anti-American university officials. What honor is there in mocking a veteran who stood in front of that flag many times to defend this nation and all that it stands for? This act is just a prime example that the left is still willing to spit on our veterans and our country in the name of their disgraceful liberal doctrine. Damn them.

Where's Waldo...or Wilson?

Here is an editorial you may see in New Mexico print media. John Billingsly, campaign manager for Pearce, expands on the recent issue of Heather Wilson missing over 22 votes in Washington this week. There was important legislation that she missed and where her votes would have made a significant difference.

Dear Editor:

Where's Waldo was fun. Where's Heather is not. Heather Wilson has missed critical votes on stripping sanctuary cities' tax exempt status, making college loans more accessible and even on wiretapping terrorists this week. She has put her political needs above the people's needs. We need a Senator who will work for us, not for her own advantage. I'm proud to be Steve Pearce's campaign manager. He didn't take the week off to campaign. He was in the nation's capital doing the people's business.

We Shall Perservere

I have come upon an arduous path in my life. I am having trouble staying healthy, focusing, applying myself, and succeeding. My health is at an all time low, my grades are not what they should be, and the pressure of stress is taking its toll on me. I was at our student mass tonight and the Second Reading of the First Letter of Saint Peter (1Pt 2:20b-25) struck me with clarification.

"Beloved: If you are patient when you suffer for doing what is good, this is a grace before God. For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example that you should follow in his footsteps.

He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth

When he was insulted, he returned no insult: when he suffered, he did not threaten; instead, he handed himself over to the one who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body upon the cross, so that, free from sin, we might live for righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. For you had gone astray like sheep, but you have now returned to the shepherd and guardian of your souls."

I do believe God works in mysterious ways; for I have returned to my shepherd and guardian. He gives me life everyday to do his will, live in his mercy, and praise him for his gifts he has given to me. I am a student right now, I must labor extra hours to finish this semester honorably and with God this is not impossible.

Many of you are wondering, "I thought this was a political blog?". You are right this is a political blog. We must discuss issues that are political in nature. Well my friends as a Catholic and a Christian I am compelled to stand for certain principles I believe in; principles of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. We may disagree in what context these principles encompass but we all agree these are original and worthy pursuits of truth we must take.

Some people in this country are in pain, confusion, and solitude but they must know that the American soul of perseverance is at work. I do believe God blessed America and in this election year, we as nation of principles are faced with pressing decisions; how do we preserve that "shining city upon a hill"? America is great, America is strong, and I will let no candidate question that.

Religion in America is not a bad thing. In fact, it is religion in America that provided certain hopes and principles that our founders drew upon for inspiration in the formulation of our divinely inspired Constitution. We must remind politicians that God blessed this country and they are entrusted with our confidence and support to protect, preserve, and abide by the principles given to us by God and the Constitution.

I am inspired to do more good in this second and much need breath of conviction. I will work to help elect the right men and women to higher office. Once my studies are over I give my full self to this blog, my campaigns, and God to help protect and preserve that America in which we all know and love. I warn you my young peers, do not be enchanted by the empty rhetoric of liberal and secular ideology. They make government the healer of all woes that infect humanity, for only God, through men of faith and acts, can a better world come.

Believe in smaller government, fiscal responsibility, strong national security, the sovereignty of our nation, and most importantly God. This will be an epic election year, there will be good and bad, but in the end truth will prevail. I look forward to this year and ask God to continue blessing America and give his mercy and strength to our military, candidates, and families.

Best,

I Hear The Train A-Comin'

My apartment is right next to the Chicago red line train. Try to picture the scene from Blues Brothers and their apartment next to the elevated train in Chicago, ya it's similar to that. I have just about had it with this urban environment. Thank God I have New Mexico to go home to.

I have spent most of this week sick in bed with an ear infection, head cold, sore throat, and fever. It has been hell for my health and academics. I better get well this weekend in order to finish school strong. I have taken a break from most of my business, this site, and the new one because it is crunch time for me here at Loyola.

It has been one of the most difficult semesters I have had in a while. While intellectually stimulating I hate writing about Rousseau, Kant, and Nietzsche. Now Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, Hobbes, Smith and Machiavelli have been an enjoyment. I have come to realize that I am much more of a realist than I thought. Although I am far from being the best student I find the pursuit of theories, definitions, and truth more enjoyable than many of my peers.

Any way I'll be back in full force in May once the semester is over. The new New Mexico Politico will be up in May as well. There may be a slight shake up in format and management but we will see how our trial period goes.

Have a good weekend politicos!

Burnt Out

Friends and Foes,

I apologize for my absence in recent days. My business, school, and politics are finally catching up to me... I am burnt out. I crashed out a couple nights ago and have not been feeling well since then. I am taking some time off from business and politics to concentrate on my academics and health. I will be going to the doctors next week for a long overdue check up. I will still be here working on the new site. I will be back next Tuesday replenished and ready for the long stretch to June!

AHD

PS. someone should tell liberals up North and the Wilson camp to quit whining... it gets annoying.
