This Gov. Martinez is giving a good speech.

Moving speech.

Funny how the two speakers who have gotten the biggest reaction have been two minority women.

Oh....now she's talking about she and other Republicans and Democrats "came together" to fix budget. As if. That means the Repubs were in the majority and the Dems had no choice.

but her first act in office was to repay Koch Industries for the office by overturning all environmental restrictions on drilling by fiat. The court slapped her down--hard--within a week. Since then, she's been whittling away at everything under the media radar.

Republicans, by definition, are not nice, although like Tejana Susana, they might meet well.

I don't see how this new party is going to attract independents and moderates. They are just so mean.
