I fully understand the shadenfreude<\/em> Republicans in New Mexico feel over troubles with the Democratic caucus. I hope conservatives will continue to hoot, snort and cat-call. Their letters to the editor serve as an unneeded reminder of just how mean-spirited and uncharitable true conservatives are. Laugh your asses off — perhaps that will take the sting away from landslide losses for conservatives in the Fall.

I THINK IT was Will Rogers that said, “I don’t belong to an organized political party. I’m a Democrat.” It must be an embarrassment to be a New Mexico Democrat. I’m glad I’m not one.\u2014 A.J. [mjh: Not half as glad as we are that you aren’t one.]<\/p>\n

In the last election we were reduced to banana-republic status with the mandate by the Democrats we had to use paper ballots. There are a lot of things you can fix, but stupid is not one of them.\u2014 J.M. [mjh: Straight from the horse’s mouth.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
