Particularly if that support takes the form of under-the-radar canvassing and talking with people.
“...If they think they have it in the bag then let them fight for it and send money there...”
Hey brother manc...
I agree.
Running away gives the Dims an automatic advantage.
Do the Dims ever “move away” from an area? No. They fight like hell. Seems to me that’s why they win.
And what message does leaving the field give the people in that state? It says “The Dems were right...the Republicans really DON’T give a rat’s ass about us...”
indeed, the left fights to win, some on our side don;t even fight.
Black - 2.5%
American Indian - 10.1%
Hispanic-Latino - 46.7%
White - 40.2%
Their governor is female-Republican-Hispanic.
Both senators are Demo.
Two of three Congressmen are Demo.
State legislature is Demo-Demo by a 2-1 margin.
New Mexico is always in play, not solidly Democrat by any means. We just have so few electoral votes some candidates think it is not worth their while. I am not a political expert so they could be right.
We do have a lot of people in poverty, a lot of hard working people that don’t earn much; cost of living away from the cities is very low here too though. All those with poverty incomes in this state are certainly not on assistance either, though they would qualify.
I have an issue with the 47% statement as well, 47% of the people not paying taxes does not equate to 47% on welfare or supporting Obama. Many people don’t make enough money to pay taxes but are hard working and not on assistance programs (even though many do qualify) or use them for short periods and only take what they truly need. If the number is 47% receiving some payment from the government, that does not mean all on welfare either, since it would include retirees getting Social Security, government/military retirement- which is not the same as welfare.
I agree that 47% may be in the tank for Obama- have no idea but the way it was worded was not accurate- all Obama supporters are not on welfare for certain either, plenty of his supporters have mega bucks unfortunately.
Romney’s statement about the welfare leeches in the tank for Obama was dead on but using the 47% and saying it as if all receiving any money from government are dead beats for Obama is not only false it insults many hard workers and retirees that are indeed possible/likely Romney voters.
My hubby was medically retired from the military for wounds received in combat and does get a check from the government every month- he is certainly not a deadbeat and REALLY not in the tank for Obama.
Governor Martinez is not a RINO for not supporting Romney on this, she understands it was pretty convoluted as he worded it.
Nice to know...
I stopped in Albequerque about five yrs ago, driving across country on I-40 and got lost that afternoon looking for a liquor store...don’t ask!
I heard after that stay that Alb...was the murder capital of the world or something like that...seemed like an OK place...I understand some areas are stunning but populated with mucho libs...too bad.
Hope Sue Martinez can deliver the state...good luck.
Please relay my Thanks to your husband for his patriotic service to America. Sorry he was wounded.
Combat military disability is by no means any handout, same with SS and Medicare, both of which we paid for in advance. Now SSI could be a very different thing as there is no arguement that some significant number of claimants are fraudulent.
There is fraud in many programs, I am really not familiar with SSI, but I have heard many illegals manage to get it somehow so not sure it doesn’t need a hard look.
I just hate to see all forms of government money and all people receiving it lumped together.
I just got back to my desk and read your fake post. No I still don’t believe a word of what you say. I have been around too many lefty frauds not to question someone who says this election is about so much more than “Willard” ( as if even uttering Mitt Romney is anathema to his/her substance — that’s pretty telling in itself) and doesn’t seem to grasp that badmouthing the only viable option to the ruin of this country under the degenerate community marxist will do only one thing: bring about another 4 years of the degenerate community moron.
No dearie, I don’t believe you are for real. You should just be ashamed of yourself for being such a sneak underhanded individual to be trolling and spilling your poison here instead of doing something right for your country.
