Sound off

Democrat state Sen. Papen is requiring accountability from the spaceport for New Mexico jobs created. Republicans, quit fabricating stories that the spaceport isn't helping New Mexico just because it was Richardson's project.

Did the lawmakers who took a tour of the spaceport have to pay the exorbitant fee that the average taxpayer has to pay in order to see this facility?

I am very happy that you printed all the county, federal and state employees' salaries. All the poor people in Las Cruces can't even get food stamps and all these people that are working in the county offices and federal building and state building are eating steak.

We need the school zones patrolled in Garfield and Salem. Just want to remind the deputies that it is part of Doña Ana County and we're getting no help.

How many of our policemen have been patronizing the massage parlor instead of dealing with the gangs and domestic violence and child abuse problems?

I think that is baloney that you're pursuing prostitutes when there are murderers and rapists out there. These girls are performing a service. I don't care what the majority thinks.

I just canceled my cable and Internet service because reading about Sunland Park is much more entertaining.

I was a recent visitor from out of town and visited the Farmers Market and was enjoying visiting with the vendor when a person came up with a dog that weighed well over 100 pounds and urinated all over the planters.

I don't think that is a good idea around food.

Susanna, thanks so much for taking over $5 million worth of taxpayers' money and giving it away for half price.

Years ago a health department employee was arrested for forging birth certificates for illegals. Does that mean we shouldn't issue birth certificates, like driver's licenses, because they've been issued to illegals?

Concerning the Catholic bishops using their bully pulpit for politics, of course they have the right to make comments of any kind they wish. Not when they use the pulpit, not when they use the church property, and not when they use their title.

A home builder and a nuclear waste corporation were the two largest contributors to Perry in Texas. They got him to pass laws preventing Texans from suing them for construction or nuclear waste violations. Perry will do anything to get elected.

I think it is wrong for Rick Perry to be using God in such a way because God is precious.

Krauthammer has to even criticize and defame the most positive in American dream fulfillment of the Martin Luther King Memorial. Krauthammer finds fault with everything unless it's a Republican idea.

The gap between the wealthiest and the middle and lower income Americans is the greatest since the 1920's. Why are the richest in American not paying their fair share?

Welcome back Steve Ramirez, Las Cruces Sun News reporter. We missed you.

Susanna, thanks so much for taking over $5 million worth of taxpayers' money and giving it away for half price.

This caller is anti Susanna to the core. The caller does not recognize the difference between cost and value. The value of the jet was 2.5 million. Richardson used 5 million of our money to buy a jet for long distances, not within our state. Five million was the cost of the jet. Richardson chose to make this expenditure even though the state has two other, smaller jets available to travel within the state.

When you buy a car for say $20,000, its cost and value are the same--$20,000. When you drive it off the lot, its value decreases to say $16,000, but the cost is still $20,000.

Richardson gave big-paying jobs (deputy of this and that) to his buddies. Susanna is cleaning up the mess.
This sound off caller has no idea about numbers, but is very good about hating Republicans.
