Dumbed-Down System Wins
THE DEMOCRATIC leadership and their Kool-Aid drinking followers have finally done it! They have been trying for years to “dumb down” the electorate and get so many people thinking that they are entitled to government handouts so the Dems can get a dictatorial socialistic government.
The election shows how naive and uneducated 52 percent of the electorate are and even more in New Mexico. …
We’ll probably see the next four years be as bad as when Jimmy Carter was in office and, hopefully, a new Ronald Reagan will come along to get us back on track.

Time Will Prove Poor Choice
OH, FOOLISH American voters! Who has bewitched you? Time will tell what an incredibly bad choice Barack Obama was for the American presidency.
Civil rights will supersede national security. The soft-on-crime Democrats will let known terrorists out of jail. Our border will not be secured. We will be wide open for attack. And we are told to “be patient” with the president-elect while he does on-the-job-training for a job he is not qualified for. That spells trouble, my fellow Americans!

Get Ready for Higher Taxes
I WANT TO thank all of you who voted for Barack Obama for raising my federal income taxes.
Let me explain. When Obama lets the “Bush tax cuts” lapse, he will be restoring the tax rates of 2000. Taxes will return to a higher level, and my family will pay more. My wife and I file jointly and earn around $90,000 a year. That means we will pay approximately $4,167 more a year in federal income tax.
Check this for yourself. Go to http://www.irs.gov/formspubs/ and pull up the 1040 instructions for 2000 and 2007 and go to the tax tables. Based on your 2007 income, check your taxes rates for 2000 and 2007, and apply them to your taxable income for 2007.
Obama has said he will allow the “Bush tax cuts” to lapse. While he does not call this a “tax increase,” my taxes will increase significantly. So, once again, thank you. My middle class family did not have enough of a burden with child care expenses and a mortgage. Remember, you reap what you sow.

Gee Ryan, you can’t live on $86,000.00 a year. Maybe you should learn
to scale down and conserve. Since you seem to be leaning towards “Conservatism”…. You all need to get your heads out of your asses
and get a grip. It is your current administration that has cause all of the problems we are going to be facing for years to come and
your great-great grandchildren will be paying for during their life times…
Stella you are the idiot, go back and spend
time with Marcia…
Well Curtis, Let’s see that statisticts show most of the “naive and uneducated” Dems are all COLLEGE
EDUCATED WITH ADVANCED DEGREES. That seems to make them smarter then “ya-all repugnicans”…
You all are sheep…. ba ba
