Mel 'Who Needs Immigration Laws' Martinez isn't going to be running in 2010
Martinez was somewhat vague about the reasons but said it was not because of the expected difficulty of a re-election battle. He said he has never wanted a lifelong career as an elected official and simply wants to go back to private life.
Bullshit. Martinez is a failure. I mean, he'd have made a great Democrat, but he's more RINO than anything. Bigger government, more illegal immigration, etc.
Now, I have doubts about it, but one hopes that the Republicans learn something, anything from their ass-whuppin' on Nov. 4th and that they start trying to find candidates who actually support the ideals the GOP was founded upon like smaller government. Otherwise I see no need to support their candidate in any fashion, be it financial or even word of mouth, since a Democrat is just as able to raise my taxes and I'll at least have the luxury of seeing it coming (it's the same reason why a sex scandal involving a priest is shocking, but not when it comes from Rollo The Mad Dog Rapist).
Whoever it is better be good on the gun issues too. Real good.
