“Republicans gooooood.... Democrats baaaaaad”

[Norm Lenhart]

You must vote for the GOP no matter what. That includes when they call you a POS and kill children.

Pieces of April?

I think most political strategists hate single-issue voters, because they’re so uncompromising and absolutely dedicated to their cause - and that makes the political strategist’s job that much more difficult for the candidate he is trying to get elected.

But, with this particular issue, it’s worth causing headaches for political strategists and letting them know you’re not going to go away!

The Democrats are geniuses. They’ve infiltrated the Republican Party and are in the process of destroying it.

New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez is being promoted as a GOP Vice Presidential nominee for 2016.

Unfortunately, no one mentions that 61% of New Mexico Hispanics voted AGAINST her in 2010.

Unfortunately, no one mentions that she refused to publicly support a ban on third term abortions in 2012, when Albuquerque voted on that city initiative.

I will continue to maintain that Jay McCleskey is THE problem with Susana deviating on important conservative non-negotiable issues.

[silverleaf]

why do so many GOP seem to lack or lose control over these flawed idiots they hire as staffers and aides?

Sadly, Mrs. McCleskey didn’t abort Jay!

I'm replying to everyone on this thread (something I almost never do) who may not have heard the "rest of the story." There was a thread about this on the News/Activism forum which I suggest you all read:

Gov. Martinez’s campaign manager shouts profanities at pro-lifers

This is post #48:

Being that I live in NM, I just got off the phone with Susana's office. The young lady I spoke with has been fielding questions about this all day (the young lady was very pleasant by the way). Turns out, they were outside McCleskey's home and they were showing very graphic images where young kids could see them. At one point a young boy went inside crying at what he was being shown. As a practicing Catholic, I'm definitely pro-life, but I don't abide these kinds of tactics, and definitely with indifference to young kids. He was responding as a parent and, frankly, I would probably do the same thing if this group showed up with those graphic signs and my kids saw that.

Could he have handled it differently? Yes, but it sounds to me like this group was looking to provoke some reaction they could then use. The story as presented by this group does not tell the whole story.

Seeing and agreeing with that explanation, I also agree with Carthego delenda est that McCleskey is not helping Susana's re-election campaign any as he is the source of irritation with many that reflects badly on her.
