".... but they didn’t." Not to worry about a phone and a pen. He can't just "do" stuff without congressional approval. Right? Hmmmm. Crickets.

Sadly, New Mexico, as much as I love New Mexico where I went to HS, has become more and more “progressive” through the years. As far as Colorado, I believe there are a lot of cali transplants there who wanted to get away from cali and then started the “that’s not the way we did it in cali” kind of thought process. I KNOW I will be corrected if I’m off base. But, as is the norm, the rural folks are easily outvoted by the big city folks. Same here in NV. The Vegas population so far outnumbers the rest of the state that we’re at there “mercy”. Big shout out to hairy reid-iculous and his union buds in Vegas. Thanks a lot. Didiots.

Hey Vaquero,
I use to be in the Army with a guy who was the other conservative from N.Y.
But he moved to Florida after getting out.

All those liberal neighbors you used to have live in CO, NM, AZ and are now invading Texas. The failed northeast states are turning the West blue.

“All those liberal neighbors you used to have live in CO, NM, AZ and are now invading Texas. The failed northeast states are turning the West blue.”

You’re right! Here in SW New Mexico I keep coming across people new to the area that I thought were speaking a foreign language until somebody pointed out to me that such is what passes for English in Bawsten and the surrounding areas. I was listening to a transplanted Bawsten couple a while back and they were terribly upset. As best as I could understand, all their ranting and foaming at the mouth was due to their unbelief that the government just let all those scary armed men at the Bundy ranch live.

I really despise the politics these libtards bring with them after crapping so much in their home states to the point that they need to evacuate.
