You really are caught up in that shit aren't you?
I bet if I told you I liked the hamburgers at In&Out you would tell me I was attacking "a Democrat".
Is there anything we can discuss that you don't drag your political party stuff into?
EDIT:
By the way New Mexico doesn't have "woes". But it has a big native American Indian population who are indeed hurting badly and get a lot of govt. assistance.
But in "crockett's world" that doesn't count. You're a real piece of work brother. lol

No Robbie I'm attacking your general inconsistency of whom you like to blame for the problems of this country.
Robbie, according to the US census it's roughly 9% of the population in New Mexico that is of "any" type of Indian decent. The population of NM is roughly 120 million as a guess being in 2010 it was 114m and then 117m in 2012.
However poverty rate in NM from 2012 was 45.5% meaning roughly 53 million people. If Indians only make up 9% of the entire NM population, that means there are far more non Indians living in poverty than actual Indians. Yet you blame only the Indians..
Meaning obviously it's not just Indians living on reservations that is the problem. If a state has nearly half it's population living in poverty, don't yea think perhaps someone isn't doing a good job?
If the US had 45% of it's population living in poverty right now, you wouldn't stop blaming Obama. Just like you blamed him for the higher unemployment rate.. Yet when it's a state somehow it's not the state govt's fault.. it's Indians living in poverty.
Come on.. if it's fair to blame Obama for unemployment, why is it not fair to blame the Governor of NM for poverty?
I just want to clarify, that I do not think the blame lays solely on the Governor of NM, because I realize that this is not a problem that just pops up the second someone is elected into office. However I am using Vendzilla's and your logic that thinks it's ok to blame the person in office today despite what may of happened yesterday. Expecting a magic fix to problems that were made over years and years.
Hopefully this drives through the point, that obviously all problems can not be blamed on the person sitting in office at that time. I'm doubtful though..
