Recordings surface in New Mexico governor race

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - Democrats called Wednesday for Republican Gov. Susana Martinez to apologize after a liberal publication released recordings in which she and aides used profanity and offensive names to describe political opponents.

The governor, who’s seeking re-election this year and is viewed as a possible rising star in national GOP ranks, also came under fire for making critical remarks about public school teachers while telling aides that it was a view that couldn’t be expressed publicly during her campaign.

“Governor Martinez and her aides’ comments are inexcusable. We have clear proof of her intent to deceive voters and her disdain for anyone who has differing views,” said Lawrence Rael, one of the five Democrats running for governor in the June primary election.

Martinez campaign spokesman Chris Sanchez didn’t issue an apology on behalf of the governor but acknowledged that the governor “used salty language in a private conversation four years ago with close advisers and will pay the appropriate penalty to the cuss jar.”

A favorite ‘Rat tactic. Tell people “Don’t vote for the better candidate. They are a ‘mean’ person.”

Uh oh! You mean Hispanics can lie and act just like white men in politics and become cronies too? And 0bummer wants to invite them to all come across the border? Has he considered the fact they may kick his kind and the proggressive and liberal homos out of office and take over all their thrones and that they will never get them back because they reproduce much faster. Of course not. They only think about today never tomorrow.

"she and aides used profanity and offensive names to describe political opponents."

Gov. Susana Martinez and her aides would be lying if they used any decent terms to describe demonrat opponents!

In the words of Ann Coulter: "If the liberal you're arguing with doesn't become speechless with sputtering, impotent rage, you're not doing it right. People don't get angry when lies are told about them; they get angry when the truth is told about them. If you are not being called outrageous by liberals, you're not being outrageous enough. Start with the maximum assertion about liberals and then push the envelope, because as we know, their evil is incalculable... Nothing too extreme can be said about liberals, because it's all true." (How to talk to a liberal (if you must), 2004, p. 12)

Considering who and what some of the Democrats here in NM are, it would be inappropriate and dishonest to talk about them without calling them a few dirty names.

Yup. She should have a presser and say “I said it because they gave me a reason and yes, I believe it to be true. I judge people by their actions.”

Period ;)

Of course, the Demagogic Party does that kind of thing right on the air, but they call it “journalism”. Thanks mdittmar.

We all know that Democrats never use vulgar epithets to describe their opponents.

"her disdain for anyone who has differing views"

We also know how Dems just LOVE people with differing views. This guy is a creep, an utter, dishonest creep.
