| Albuquerque, March 5—The following is a statement from Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce on the Democratic Party’s Convention in Roswell: “This Convention was a weak affair with low turnout and empty seats, showing the waning support of the Governor and the Democratic Party. This lovefest Convention is nothing more than a “Democrat Makeover”–underneath the self-congratulations is a real sense of fear and nervousness. These Democrats know they’re in trouble. From Washington to the Roundhouse, progressive Democrats have inflicted pain on New Mexicans and destroyed our great state. The Democratic Party is an organization that lacks direction. It will continue to promote progressives whose policies hurt New Mexicans year after year. It doesn’t matter who is on the Democratic slate in June. The Democrat members of Congress will blindly follow the disastrous, radical agenda of the Biden Administration that’s destroying America. Here at home, Gov. Lujan Grisham has failed New Mexicans and doesn’t deserve another term. Her progressive policies and authoritarian actions have ruined our state. The list of her debacles is endless: 40% of our small businesses lost, tax increases, reckless spending, COVID rules (that she personally breaks) that have shattered our economy and stripped citizens of their freedoms, a failed education system, a continuing crime crisis, classrooms filled with untrained teachers, ignoring our border crisis and her call to eliminate our vital oil and gas industry. This recent legislative session speaks volumes, as the Governor’s wish list went down in defeat. New Mexicans know all this, and voters will make the right decision and boot her out of office in November. The Democrats are again showing New Mexico their propensity to allow voter fraud. As part of the Convention, people will be voting by phone, absentee ballot and electronically over five days. That’s hardly a secure process. And why would it take more than a week to count ballots?” |

Lots of whining here without constructive alternatives. My wonderful father, a wise conservative Republican, complained in the 1960s and 1970s that his party leaders complained too much and offered too few solutions. Pearce and Curtis are still stuck in that mode.
Dad also taught that while Republicans oppose socialism they and nearly all Americans like progress, so don’t complain about progressives and progressivism as though they are evil concepts. Don’t let it look like you want to go back in time, which is exactly what Curtis and Pearce seem to want.
One more thing, Pearce’s outrageous claim that Democrats have a “propensity to allow voter fraud,” together with the fact that New Mexico Republicans have not complained about Trump’s big lie and continuing coup attempt, means that they prefer Trump’s prefer the big lie and the coup attempt to real election reform.
