Gov. Susana Martinez on Tuesday emphasized the value of the government support services in response to Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s remarks criticizing “47 percent” of voters as overly dependent on government.Martinez, who was asked to speak on behalf of Romney at the Republican National Convention last month, added that low-income voters in New Mexico should not be written off by Romney’s campaign.
“We have a lot of people that are at the poverty level in New Mexico, but they count just as much as anybody else,” Martinez said. “There is a net that does allow them to be caught and taken care of, whether it be through medical services, whether it be food services, whether it be with funding for apartments, for housing.
“I think, certainly the fact that New Mexico provides that safety net is a good thing,” the Republican governor said.
“...added that low-income voters in New Mexico should not be written off by Romney’s campaign.”
She is right. Furthermore, with the unemployment levels in Albuquerque, I would have thought that at least some effort would have been made there.
I live in the SE corner of the state and were are firmly in the Romney camp. Too bad Repubs decided to write us all off with no effort to turn the tide. They did show up here to raise money and poof, that was it.
Sounds like a freeloader state! read my tagline.
