Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Tell Me About Sussana Martinez, N.M. Governor

Well, there has been some buzz on some of the Palin sites and reasons given why a Palin/Martinez ticket makes sense.

If you just want a capable guy who is the personification of "ho-hum", Walker, like Paul Ryan, fits the bill.

He is a MUCH easier target for demonization by the Dem media than Susana.

So is a dog turd.

Well, that's the ONLY place it could make sense. Susana is surely smart enough to see the V P slot as a dead end for her, just as it was for Sarah Darlin'.

I'm gonna push ol' Rick Perry to grab him some early limelight and poke a finger in the Bush family eye at the same time by endorsing Susana.

She likely wouldn't be a primary pick of mine because of her background as a prosecutor. I would prefer someone more libertarian. I would rather have the next president's scotus picks be more of that streak.

She would get my vote and some of my money in the election if she won the primary.

Name recognition doesn't mean much to me, these days. I'm so unencouraged by most of the names currently out there.

When I hear Obama/Biden/Clinton/Kerry/Albright refusing to say the words, "Islamic terrorist", and saying that global warming is our nation's largest national security threat, my baseline has now moved down to the point where I just need to see whether a candidate has any sort of grasp of reality.

It reminds me of the kids movie, "Babe", when the duck is watching the family eat roast duck for Christmas dinner. As he wails about how unkind and unfair it is, the cow bitch slaps him by saying, "The only way you'll find happiness is to accept that the way things are is the way things are."

I was lamenting to my 14 year old today, about how 36 years ago, we had an oblivious puzzy president, who thought the world could be soothed with kind words & placation, who sullied the economy, and got pushed around by Iran.

The country got tired of that schidt, & elected someone with both a spine and a scrotum. They got the country turned around, & we enjoyed 2+ decades of peace & prosperity.

Then the country somehow was convinced that we had it too good, and they elected an oblivious puzzy president, who thinks the world can be soothed with kind words & placation, who has sullied the economy, and gets pushed around by Iran.

Hopefully the midterms are an indication that this nation has once again had enough of that schidt.

So you'll be beating the Paul drum in the primaries?

I could do a Cruz, Martinez ticket. I have not seen anything offered that looks better.

Well,,, he's won three elections in four years (one a recall) in an UBER liberal state.
He's also taken on (and defeated) the Teachers union. Which pleases me to no end.

As far as the media goes, they'll say that regardless of where she runs.

I'm not against her being at the top of the ticket though but I'd like to know allot more about her first.
So I ask you the same question.
What does Martinez have in her resume that makes her a better choice?

Susana is surely smart enough to see the VP slot as the first step in putting herself on the national stage.
Just as it did for Sarah.

Oddly enough my vote only really means something in the primaries as it would take a miracle for my state to be competitive in the general election. (though I have voted in every presidential election from RR on). I would rather use my vote to drive the party to the right/libertarian direction.

I haven't decided yet but if forced to choose this second.. probably Rand or Ted. Probably Cruz, because I have doubt Paul has the skill set to be president, same 10X over for Palin. I have some issues with each, but you rarely have a perfect choice.

we need a candidate that believes in free markets, personal responsibility, and a desire to limit or stop the endless wars.

war is good if you happen to own a war-company.

for the rest of us, not so much.

we do need ldrshp.

Gov. Martinez isn't a bad sort.

Way better than the communist, Bill Richardson that she took over from. She has cleaned up a lot of what he previously messed up in her first term.

She would also have a lot of Meskins voting for her.

I agree

the collective consciousness in this country has forgotten what it means to win a war. our forte is profits for the war-companies.

i don't know anything about the Governor from New Mexico. i do like New Mexico, especially the Taos area. lol

hopefully, we'll get to learn more about her as time goes on.

Before long, we are going to be saddled with a woman president. If it happens to be someone like Hillery or her ilk, they will ruin, if not break, the country, much like zero has. So, Martinez sounds like a good opportunity to shut up the MSM, as much as anyone could, get the electorate excited for someone new and a lady to boot, and take the heat off getting a female in the WH. I also believe she'd do a good job.

THIS Meskin would vote for her - yet again!
There is really very little I disagree with her over, and she is trying her darnedest to clean up the mess Richardson bequeathed her.
Maybe she can make a bit more progress, now that she has more political backing.
It surprised me how many Susana bumper stickers I saw here in San Miguel and Mora counties (hotbeds of liberal Dems)

As much as I like Cruz, I can't see him beating the Establishment's pick - Bush - in the primaries. If, by chance, he managed to get that done, he would have lukewarm backing from them against the Clinton/Media consortium.

They make much of us Tea Party types sulling up and not supporting THEIR guy. That would be as nothing compared to their response if OUR guy was the nominee.

What are they gonna use to disqualify Susana in comparison to the openings Ted has given them?

Like Ben said, I doubt she would take the No. 2 slot. Cruz might.

I'm willing to consider their resumes as being equal. But..... if a resume of accomplishments were to be the deal maker, or breaker, I'd say Perry has 'em both beat.

And if resumes counted for much, Romney would have won in '12.

People in this country are ready for somebody new and exciting just as they were in 2008.

THAT ain't Walker.

It sure as hell ain't Bush.

An excellent summation, my friend.

I wish SteveNo was around. Be interesting to read his rebuttal.

Then again, he's a pretty sensible guy, and he is NOT the Establishment bootlicker some tried to make him out to be.

He might would surprise me. Might even have taken down the picture he had of him and McCain.
