...Alan Webber and his Democratic supporters in New Mexico. The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has video of Webber insisting that Democrats had to throw Susana Martinez out of office. “We need to send her back to wherever she really came from,” Webber says to applause, adding, “I suspect it’s Texas.”

Typical republican war on women. Oooopppppsssss! Dimokkkrat caught using mouth before engaging brain. Or maybe there is no brain.

[Red Badger]

Can you imagine the outrage, faux, of course, if a Repubbie had said such a thing?..........................

[Responsibility2nd]

Actually he’s showing his true colors against women AND hispanics.

But he’ll get a pass. Liberals always do.

[Tijeras_Slim]

The guy’s a loon, he’ll get 15% of the primary vote max. Pure appeal to Occupy types.

[BilLies]

She was born in Texas, she can take care of herself.
Funny how some people can attack women and people of without fear of rebuttal by the fella tis T’Press.
Dimokkkrat AOBamites.

[Din Maker]

See my tagline.

[rktman]

Keep ‘em straight in NM for us Tijeras_Slim.

[rktman]

Now, if she had some sort of diability, she’d really be a threat. :>}

[woweeitsme]

Right. I’m sure it’s because Republican women aren’t “really” women. You know, like black conservatives aren’t “really” black...

[Tijeras_Slim]

I’ll do the best I can in my corner of it... but there’s a whole lot of crazy here at times.

Can you imagine the outrage, faux, of course, if a Repubbie had said such a thing?..........................

That Republican would immediately be made the face of the entire party by the liberal media, which would be replaying his quote 24/7 with all the political pundits claiming this is going to get minorities to the polls in droves and save the democrat party in 2014...

...but since it was a democrat, the comments will get little airplay, and he will be quickly dismissed as a lone kook who certainly does not represent the party or maybe even that he was only taken out of context because, certainly, a democrat could never be racist.

[apillar]

We need to send her back to wherever she really came from,” Webber says to applause, adding, “I suspect it’s Texas.”

It sounds to me like he realized he'd just stepped in it once the comments left his mouth. So he quickly added the "I suspect it's Texas." to try to give himself cover for essentially saying people of foreign decent should be kicked out of the country...

[rktman]

Sadly, that’s one of the reasons that NM dropped off the list of places for us to retire. Loved it in the ‘60’s when the population was less than a mil for the entire state. Isn’t ABQ over that by itself now? Good times back then with woodsies and racing down 14 to Mountainaire.

[Tijeras_Slim]

It’s still under 2 mil, and once you get even a little bit away from Abq and Santa Fe it’s nice. Mountainair probably looks about the same as you remember.

Unacceptable. An issue I will not take lightly. ‘Food Pantries See Growing Need in NM, As Food Stamps Take Hit’ http://huff.to/KtUcLs

Everyone gets a fair shake—and a fair shot. Everyone does their fair share. Everyone plays by the same rules. That’s progressive!

I was surprised that Martinez was ever elected and would be unsurprised if the NM “democracy” purges her on Novembver 4.

[rktman]

LOL! Now that’s a resume. Even if it’s all true, wouldn’t you hide it along with the lyin’ king’s COLB?

[rktman]

Would you be surprised if she got another 4? How about they send the demoasshat back where he came from.

"Palin's appearance in New Mexico to support Martinez for governor was unequivocally the turning point in Martinez campaign. The morning of the endorsement a poll was released showing the Doña Ana County district attorney was in a virtual dead heat with her chief Republican opponent, Allen Weh. Less than three weeks later, Martinez had captured 51 percent of the Republican vote in a five-way race. Any doubt about the power of Palin's endorsement was lifted with Martinez's election on June 2."
