in Excited to be a Republican on The New Mexico Independent
"So the GOPer should just take your word about Obama’s voting record….." no one needs to take anyone's word on voting records; they're public and speak for themselves...

in Glaring differences between Denver and St. Paul on The New Mexico Independent
First of all, what is so funny is that you all are taking a woman's experience, where she is looking around and saying: "the people and culture here do not represent me", and turning it into a much more racially charged issue.

As for riteizrite: I think your comment exudes that flavor of subconscious racial discrimintaion. Maybe it is because I grew up in the South and have been raised in a culture that is very aware of the way things like that can be taken. Your comment:

"conservatives see that you

in The liberal blogosphere: Fair and balanced? on The New Mexico Independent
"That context is missing from the coverage of Tinsley’s comments."

What kind of context do we accept language like "slitting your throat" in political debates. I was just as offended when John McCain joked about beating his wife.

Anybody with journalistic scruples knows that those who are calling for a halt to the funding for the war, aren't calling for a U.S. soldier turkey shoot. To report or call into question otherwise is dishonest.

Has the author ever been to Michelle Malkin's site? Why no mention of the unethical stranglehold the right has on radio and mainstream television? On the "liberal blogosphere", readers with any sense can actually fact check.

I find it interesting that at a time when Fox news is doctoring their critics photos to make them look uglier (how is that not illegal?), that the playing of a video of a republican gaffe is called out on journalistic ethics. Should Bush saying "fool me once", or McCain getting on-air geography lessons from Lieberman been fact checked with their staffs to gleam the right "context"?

in Keeping tabs on TB on The New Mexico Independent
This was an excellent article, but I'm confused as to the reference to the anthrax being "pinpointed". Was that a link with a subtle wink, because the story in the NY Times makes it clear that nothing was pinpointed, and has yet to be pinpointed other than the FBI's statements of some new technology that proved this guy was the culprit and acted alone.

in The 1960s rears its ugly head … again on The New Mexico Independent
Its always nice when someone shows what a complete lunatic they are before an election... no one who votes for this guy can claim they didn't know better. He is such a crackpot that you almost can't bother to argue the idiotic points of the ad, such as the idea that policies that take care of our environment and develop safe, renewable energy somehow exist in opposition to jobs, business and families. Last time I checked, the latter were quite in need of the former.

Pearce paints himself as yet another Republican who relies on the same talking points we've been hearing for years now, the most popular of which being: if you don't roll over to drilling, war, or the loss of your civil liberties you are anti-American. If you think anything this country is doing is wrong, there must be something wrong with YOU.

And the quote "The extremists have hijacked our policies, so that we can’t live" would be comical if it weren't for the fact that this guy could soon be a policy maker.

in GOP: Don’t register with ACORN on The New Mexico Independent
While ACORN has had its share of issues, the Democrats, Republicans, the Secretary of State and the County Clerks have have done far more to undermine the electoral process in NM in the last 4-8 years.
