If it goes according to plan, don't expect to see George Bush in New Mexico late this campaign season. This, week, Badnarik goes up with TV and radio ads (produced by Russo) throughout the state, here's one of them:Script of "Message for Conservatives" (Radio)
President Bush got elected by claiming to be a compassionate conservative. Would a conservative approve a half a trillion dollars in deficit spending in a single year? Would a conservative give us "Hillary Cares" socialized medicine, something even Bill Clinton couldn't do? Would a conservative approve of searching our homes without warrants or locking up American citizens indefinitely without even filing any charges? If you're fed up with electing Republicans who claim to be conservative and then govern like liberal Democrats, you do have an alternative. Michael Badnarik, the Libertarian candidate for president. Libertarian Badnarik polled 5% in New Mexico in an August poll done by Rasmussen:Rasmussen Reports finds John Kerry with a 7-point lead over George W. Bush among New Mexico voters. Our first Election 2004 survey in the state shows Kerry with 50% of the vote, Bush with 43%, and Libertarian Michael Badnarik with 5%. Ralph Nader is not on the ballot in New Mexico.Badnarik is probably on more of the ballots in battleground states than is Nader, but when will we see Gallup poll reality?
