To be fair, I can't uncover anything that speaks to Diane Denish's record regarding corruption.

However, I tend to be honest when it comes to professing what candidate I will vote for, and the fact of the matter is I will support whoever runs against her, because I am strongly opposed to taxation, particularly progressive income taxes, which is a hallmark for the Democrat party.

And worldwide has an exceedingly high correlation with a high standard of living, low crime rates, equal opportunities, gender equality, etc.

Ummmm yea, well first off... karma, you have not been in New Mexico long enough to hear about the Richardson gang. The "play to pay" politics involving denish is pretty serious. I don't want someone who sides with Richardson. I want someone with their own ideas, fresh ones too.

Denish is more of the same, she is not strong enough. Martinez is outspoken and tough, a debater and a prosecutor. She sees first hand what happens in New Mexico.

THINK PEOPLE, DO WE WANT MORE OF THE SAME?
Look at the Governor's approval rating..............................

Bradly, you stated in your post that "she is full of corruption." Karmathecat then asked for proof, which you have failed to provide, instead coming up with her associations with the Richardson administration. In other words, you're simply adding another blatant lie to your repertoire. It's simply irresponsible, and if you continue to paint with such broad brushstrokes with no regard to facts, I'll continue pointing it out.

I tend to fall left of the democratic party, but I do think Martinez has a good shot at winning the republican primary.

I dig Doug. I like everything he stands for.

As for Martinez, I just don't find her trustworthy or believable and I try to avoid voting for lawyers. Weh might be a good guy, but he just doesn't do it for me.

Oh, and if Weh or Martinez gets the nomination, this Republican will be voting for the Libertarian. Screw both of them for going negative on their fellow Republicans after promising not to.
