Will NCAI endorse any of the 3 leading candidates- McCain, Clinton, or Obama?

The stimulus package............

ChippewaPartners — Thur, 24 Jan 2008 19:08:43 GMT

The economic stimulus package has the focus on pandering to various voting blocks rather than doing something that really solves our problems. There are a few things like the increase in mortgage-loan size before they are considered "jumbo" that is helpful. It's more of the same. They tried a $600 rebate back in 2001 and it didn't do much but make the bookies, lotteries, convenience stores and liquor stores more money.

McKinley County - Few Polling stations for Natives

political_guru_32 — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 23:23:06 GMT

There are only 4 polling places in McKinley County, NM!

This is shocking because McKinley County is 5,455 square miles - roughly the size of Connecticut.

McKinley County is also 75% Native American.

This is outrageous.

I would like to know where the candidates stand on sacred sites issues such as protecting the San Francisco Peaks from desecration.

Race

Obama has said repeatedly that this presidential election is not about race or gender. Is this possible? Is America (particularly middle conservative America) ready to elect a minority or a female to office?

Irony.................

The other day a female track sprint star was sentenced to jail for 6 months for lying to federal prosecutors.

Imagine if members of Congress or United States Senators were jailed for lying to the American people about fraudulent and wasteful spending of billions of OUR tax dollars.

Obama............

When you hear the upstart talk about "change" the first thing you should ask yourself (or him) is whether he is talking about downsizing or increasing government's power.

Like "insider" trading, you are either on the "inside" or the "outside".

He is on the "inside".

Question answered.

Change afoot...........

ChippewaPartners — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 02:57:10 GMT

Mitt has claimed victory in Michigan, Obama is claiming "change" is afoot, Fred has dropped out and Hillary is talking about spending more taxpayer money bailing out the fine Americans who are having mortage issues, 70% of whom are said to have LIED on their mortgage applications. Is anyone talking about social security reform, criminal immigration, trade imbalances, tax code reform? Nope, just the usual, jobs, healthcare and the environment.

Here's my cure for American healthcare, listen up. Let every doctor prescribe TWO pair of good walking shoes to every American who they see in 2008 and tell them they must walk 1 or 2 miles every day and pick up litter in the "environment".

That would cure the vast majority of them health-wise.
