It is often said that the best way to find out how a candidate would act in office if elected, is to see who he/she surrounds himself with. Money is another factor, what people and industries are backing the candidate. These answers should be an indicator of what to expect. Who is behind the man should gauge what kind of man he is. The great Richard Viguerie tells the story of how he and other conservatives had a “seat at the table” of the presidential campaigns of Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan for. His thinking was if Conservatives aren’t at...

There comes a responsibility with sending ordnance down range. Once fired most weapons are on a one way mission to unleash their lethal, stored energies. The kinematics of the weapon and the explosives package are fused to get a specific result upon detonation. Mostly those results are designed to be lethal. There is no recall button to push on the weapons menu once you release a HARM (High Speed Anti-radiation missile) towards an emitting target. There are no self-destruct buttons, so lavishly included in most Hollywood movies, which will protect innocents from the wayward launch of a MK-83 (general purpose,...

Mr. President, I thank Senator Lugar for finding time for me to express my views to the Senate and to those who might be listening or viewing the Senate proceedings.

WASHINGTON, DC - U.S. Senator Pete Domenici (R-NM) today issued the following statement: “The greatest criticism of Senator Kerry’s energy plan is that it ducks on all the tough issues. It is pure election year babble—long on hope but short on help. “Americans currently depend on foreign imports for more than 50 percent of oil, and Senator Kerry obviously does not have the stomach for the decisions or policies that would either reduce consumption of foreign oil or increase domestic production. “His ‘new’ energy policy contradicts his vote against a balanced National Energy Bill this year on the Senate floor....

WASHINGTON, DC— U.S. Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM) issued the following statement regarding John Kerry’s upcoming trip to New Mexico: “The Kerry-Edwards ticket is the most liberal ticket in history, and their records reveal a distinct disconnect with the values, concerns and sensibilities of New Mexicans. "Just last night, Kerry and Edwards attended a fundraiser in New York City where Hollywood celebrities called President Bush a liar, thug and killer. Kerry has yet to denounce these hate-filled attacks. In fact, he said that the performers represented ‘the heart and soul of our country.’ I disagree. “The Democratic ticket combines the most...

ALBUQUERQUE, July 19 — A third political party seldom rises to a level much beyond annoyance to Republicans and Democrats. That is clearly not the case in New Mexico, where the Green Party has achieved so much power that its leaders say both major parties this year have tried to exploit it for their electoral advantage. One offer, they said, came from Republicans this month, a promise of at least $100,000 if the Greens fielded candidates in two House races as a way to hurt Democratic chances. The other, they said, came from Democrats in January, a suggestion of helping...
