reach across the aisle to theives is not realistic

I appreciate the rest of what she has to say

however the Democrats are not good hearted

[Vision]

The Federal gov hurts the world. The Dems just destroyed a world economy.

[Tupelo]

if she keeps it up, I may think about relocating to New Mexico. I am getting pretty tired of The Copper State and their onerous regulations.

[SampleMan]

A functional Federal Government has destroyed the states.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Unfortunately Her and Christie could be the ticket in 16’. It would be ok with me but not too.

[Common Sense 101]

It’s not “dysfunctional”, it’s dictatorial.

[Common Sense 101]

[ScottinVA]

I’d be OK with her... Christie.. not so much.

[LegendHasIt]

I could stomach Paul and Susana.

If it is Amnesty Rubio or 0bama lovin’ Christie, I wouldn’t vote for them even if they picked ME as their VP.

Now, a Ted Cruz / Susana Martinez ticket would not only get my vote, but money and volunteer time.

You found IT!!

Thanks for the new tagline!

I didn't even know it was lost!

It’s critical to partner with neighbors, she said; such a partnership makes New Mexico the “new gateway” for North American trade. Major infrastructure is being developed on both sides of the border, part of a first-ever bi-national master plan for New Mexico and Chihuahua, Mex.

Another NWO, illegal alien politician. Forget it.

“With a stagnant economy and dysfunctional federal government, it is at the state level where we see progress,” Martinez concluded. “In the west, we must all work together to make our region stronger, so individually we can all prosper.”

You know what's kind of interesting about AZ?
They passed constitutional carry, amending the state's own constitution, and yet [IIUC] there are apparently counties/municipalities that still try to regulate the carrying of arms [esp in gov buildings].

I dunno; that seems more pro-trade (i.e. capitalism) than anything else. (That is, you want to make it easier and safer to conduct business properly and keep yourself in good standing with those you're trading with.)

Hm, really? Remember the smackdown of AZ's immigration enforcement law?
In the USSC decision, the dissent said something to the effect of the decision making the only remaining state sovereignty is forcibly expelling foreign invaders… how do you think the FedGov would respond if a state did just that?

I’m hoping she can change this list. One private employer in the top ten is pretty pathetic.

Most recent list I could find (2011):
1 State of New Mexico (statewide)
2 UNM (statewide)
3 New Mexico State University (statewide)
4 CNM Albuquerque (Central New Mexico Community College)
5 Albuquerque Public Schools
6 Sandia National Laboratories
7 Presbyterian Healthcare Services
8 Los Alamos National Laboratories
9 City of Albuquerque
10 White Sands Missle Range White Sands

Wow that's interesting. Shows how difficult it is for Republicans. Huge percentage of middle and upper middle class are paid by govt.
