Imagine if a Republican operated with Ben Ray's brazenness

New Mexico’s junior senator, Democrat Ben Ray Luján, knows the state has a double standard for politicians. He continues to exploit it.

With Luján, everything is about money. His abiding interest is collecting cash for his campaigns.

The senator and his handlers sent a solicitation last week with the hackneyed headline, “Dialing for dollars?” Luján’s message was worse than the title.

It stated: “We have fallen behind on our fundraising goals for our upcoming FEC fundraising deadline. This is a real problem, which could endanger everything we’ve worked so hard to build over the last few years.

“Instead of pulling Ben Ray away from doing his job to fundraise, we hope to make up this shortfall with your help.”

What an admission. An ailing country is trying to recover from a pandemic, but Luján’s camp says the senator needs more of your money, or he might ignore the job he was elected to do.

Imagine the backlash if Republican Congresswoman Yvette Herrell announced she might spend her days soliciting campaign contributions instead of doing her job.

Are they sure it’s not Ben Gay Lujan?

Related to the bitch Governor? Lujan appears every time I see New Mexico posted.

I dont live in New Mexico but I come from one of oldest families. The descendants of conquistadors have maintained their residency and family names for 400 years. I have thousands of cousins there with my name, and Lujan does too; his is another old NM name

If he had a coat of arms, what would it look like? An outstretched hand, and a white charger with dollar bills in his eyes?

I get about 50 emails a day from Republicans with essentially the same message.

I get about 50 emails a day from Republicans with essentially the same message.

Same here. I spent more than a couple of minutes every day playing "whack a mole" to get rid of them. Problem is, if you donate to anyone of them, they share your email with the others so no matter how many times you "unsubscribe" it doesn't help.

You can’t spit without hitting a politician named Lujan. Which might be a good thing.

Looking at our two idiot Senators is almost enough to make you miss Bingaman and Udall.
