Nothing flashy, no fancy graphics, no Demonsheeps or folksy Alabamans on a horse. Just pointing out one really key fact that Susana Martinez’s rival, Democrat Diane Denish, failed to mention in her last ad. With one unbelievable unforced error, the Denish campaign just nuked their own credibility.
Upon watching it, you do not merely want to vote for Martinez; you begin to suspect you wouldn’t want to allow any Diane Denish campaign worker into your home.
you know i worked w Freda at La Casa in Las Cruces and I'm pretty disgusted with Susana's attempt to discredit her as an educator simply because she was once married to a loser. Susana you've dipped to an even lower low. Shame on you
Even if she's a fantastic educator, you could choose any other educator in the state. Anyone who's husband hasn't been convicted by the *opposing candidate*.
Yes, that's a pretty lame strawman. At no point did Martinez attempt anything like attacking her "as an educator." So, if you're going to be stroking your "shame" finger at her, take a look in the mirror and decide if you're getting this wrong intentionally or through misunderstanding.
This is so sad. What is the point of attacking a teacher? Have we sunk so low that we are going to start locking people up and sending there loved ones to prison if they don’t say what you want them to? This was just one teacher. There are lots of teachers out there pushing for Denish to win. And how exactly does sending people to prison prepare Martinez to run a state?
I think that this advertisement is harming Martinez more then it is Denish. Here in the USA we have the highest prison population in the world. Prisons are overcrowded and we the taxpayers are paying for it all. What is the point of boosting about look at me and all the people I have locked up and if you vote for me I will lock even more people up by creating new crimes to catch them on. Who is going to pay for the thousands of new people that we are going to lock up, and where are we going to keep them all?
Lets not forget that Martinez has already taken aim on which people she will put in jail next: The thousands of sick and dieing people in the New Mexico medical cannabis program.
Somebody please help me to understand this, what is the point of locking up, otherwise honest people, for using cannabis, a plant that, according to the Bible, was given to us from GOD?
Jesus Carmona is Freda Trujillo's EX HUSBAND (they were married in 2004, and later divorced). He was charged with this crime in 2002, his original conviction was overturned on appeal (noticed this was left out of the ad), and he was resentenced in 2007. Freda Trujillo has stated that she supports her ex-husband's conviction, but that doesn't mean she thinks Martinez will make a good governor.
Freda Trujillo's taste in men aside, what one should be asking is this -- given the number of cases prosecuted in Dona Ana county, and given that Trujillo, as far as I can tell, was not involved in the case at all and has an entirely different surname -- how exactly is it that Martinez, or someone in her campaign or someone who supports her, saw Trujillo and instantly remembered that she was (very tangentially) linked to a case Martinez's office prosecuted?
Because of course they must have just remembered it, surely they would not have searched various law enforcement databases on a private citizen who had appeared in an political opponent's ad. That's not necessarily illegal, but neither is it cool.
OMG! Can Lt Gov Denish's campaign really be that stupid?
Really great ad my Martinez.
