When are we going to realize that nuclear weapons are not needed? Why must our public officials think America needs to be the biggest bully on the block no matter the cost to our economic and moral future. Wilson is doing nothing more than pandering to a moderate crowd. We need a leader like Udall who is willing to tell it like it is even if what he has to say may be unpopular. All the hometown pandering and pork spending from elected officials is what has gotten us in these dire straights economically.

I think we all know who the real a—hole left in the presidential race is and it’s neither of the Senators that want to stop the Bush Doctrine of preemptive war and tax cuts for the rich. I think it’s
Mr. and I quote “Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran.”

This is the reason Hillary needs to drop out of the race for the nomination. While Hillary attacks every thing Barack does and forces the mainstream corporate media to not actually focus on issues, McCain and the republicans get a free ride to attack for months on end. If Hillary really wants a Democrat in the White House she needs to check her ambition and realize the race is lost and show real leadership which she has not shown at all during her campaign and support Obama for President

I think the Guv did a good job on Larry King.

Having been a voter in a primary state that did not matter, I do not mind Hillary going forward with her campaign, but the Rove-like attack ads must stop. She is tearing party apart.

I am tired of the free ride that McCain is getting. Can you guys do some articles on the double-talk express?

They scare me.

I have trouble rationalizing a trip to Santa Fe from Eldorado.

Great video Mr. Arnold.

Maybe we should all give our economic stimulus checks to anti-drilling groups instead of to big oil to fill up all the large vehicles you showed in the video.

Can you do video interviews with all the candidates for NM-3rd before June 3rd? What we really need is a platform for every candidate and each to have the equal ability to get their message out and that’s where NMI comes in.

They need to eliminate sampling of high cost meds as well. As a RPH I to often see Dr’s hand out a high cost brand meds because they have samples instead a less costly “me too” generic in the same class. As soon as the generic is available the samples stop and the prescribing of the drug plummets.

What really needs to happen is if a company comes out with a “me too” drug with out and real benefit over the existing drugs in that class then they either must offer substantial cost saving to patients or go on a formulary choice program where Dr’s write for drug classes rather than specific drugs.

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

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.

Wouldn’t a national sales tax disproportionately affect the least among us?

that’s not true-Democrats have affairs just not in bathrooms and brothels and don’t wear diapers to do so.
