When did Mitt become a conservative? I know he played on tv during the primaries. All Martinez was saying is that the GOP needs to expand its base, which it does need to do. Unfortunately deporting or causing the self-deportation of 12 million people is not realistic. And demanding that it happens serves no useful purpose.

being nativist in the face of the current demographics is a losing game.

GOP won’t win with just the old white guy vote, except maybe out in elvis country.

Just say’in.

Heh, I have not, however, I don’t want to see them.

She has told me here though that she does not want or need my vote, so she shall not ever have it. She does not represent me, she is of the others.

Great, so how are they going to differentiate themselves from the Democrats, then? Why vote for a fake, when you can vote for the real thing.....”Me Too”, has never worked.

New Mexico is firmly attached to the government teat. If you add up dependents on social security, dissability, native amaricans, labor unions, pro-illegal representatives in the roundhouse, and military defense contracts for white sands and the labs, it’s not surprising that the state voted overwhelmingly for zero. We’re >50% parasite down this way.

Republicans should not do interviews with nayone until they figure out what the hell it is they stand for, which I expect isn’t going to happen, because they do not stand for anything.

I’m not interested in this racist crap, honestly, if this is all they got, then it’s over, this is garbage.

The majority of New Mexicans are white. Take Martinez’ advice and elect white people from now on.

When you say ‘real thing’ I’m not sure to whom you refer.

Ronald Reagan was not running. Mitt, as accomplished as he is, is still ‘tainted’ in the eyes of minorities with having white bread persona, also he has no real zip.

We need some one that can appeal to those persons out in various hoods who won’t spend much effort to understand the ideology of the candidate. Most voters decide based on soundbites and pop culture snippets. To elect someone the GOP must represent as appealing to those with a 5 minute attention span.

it really does not make any difference what Republican policies are or what color the candidates are. The press is against us. We need to convert or at least improve the press.

No, Whites are a minority in NM since Hispanics chose not to be included as “White” they (Hispanics) are now the majority.
