You're not keeping up with this thread are you?
Let's see there was a particular case that she initiated, tried to portray the person as a predator, made several allegations, claimed there was a restraining order that didn't exist, claimed about specific, hundreds, of text messages they didn't have, and specifically alleged that the person attended a bunch of events, of which none of them took place...it's called perjury and guess what? The Judge dismissed it with a directed verdict because they had NO EVIDENCE to support the charge.
That's a loss and if you dare believe that taking plea deal after plea deal are justifiable victories, you're crazy.
Didn't she lose the Scott brothers dog fighting case? Doesn't matter who the prosecutor was at trial because the fact is that was a case under her watch. Think about it when a team loses a game the team loses, the coach loses, the school loses. So at trial no mater who the prosecutor is a loss goes against the District Attorney so if you really want to add up her losses then contact the NM Court Administrator if you can handle it.
As for her personal losses, just the one I mentioned is huge enough because that proves she initiated a case knowing full well no crime was committed and I repeat they admitted as much at trial which I would hope PROVES HOW MALICIOUSLY INCOMPETENT SHE IS.

I realize my own personal thing with Martinez does not truly measure on the scale of her true incompetence, but I do want to add one more thing.
This is how corrupt these people are...
May 3rd state closes its case, defense moves for a directed verdict, judge Macias grants the directed verdict and plainly states that the state failed to establish the crime. No evidence to support the charge, none.
So May 3, 2012 the case was closed and as of this date AUGUST 28, 2012 still no official order filed in with the court clerk. So in essence my case is still open. I am still pending a felony charge and to this day can't do a lot of things.
90 days later and these people, the district attorney's office, have yet to close the case. On top of that, my bond company needs a copy of the official order so they can close the case.
So the DA, Amy Orlando, is as incompetent as her predecessor. Actually I feel they lost and can't handle the fact that they lost and are now being childish sore losers. Much like CornDogz does here.
He was so adamant during the campaign that Susana was going to change New Mexico, that she was going to end corruption, turn New Mexico government around...and yet all she has done is practically tank everything from jobs to education and he like her want to blame the legislature.
When the fact is she did the budget change, she used email to conduct business, she made under the table deals, and more importantly she was taken before the NM Supreme Court and on each occasion not only lost, but judged that she violated the law and violated both the NM and US Constitutions.
So CornDogz' heroine hasn't panned out as he hoped and so he comes here with his cake rants, his drug accusations, and hopes to curb the market on tin foil hats.
So sad, indeed.

So would you like a medal or a chest to pin it on? You sound a little constipated from all the munchies your mota use necessitates, perhaps a trip to your neighborhood Walgreen's would be of use for your chronic condition.
The NMFA is still scandal ridden, out of control, and even though its not the current Governor's fault, its been discovered on her watch and is now her responsibility to address. If she addresses the issues well, most will be satisfied, other than those like yourself who demonize her at every turn.

Maybe that's how I come across to you but that's not necessarily how I view it. I see effort and progress overall being made with many of NM's issues. They take time to resolve, just like those the Obama faces. Patience is necessary for most, not all but most. A priority must be given to each and addressed in that order.

And just what did your Pay To Play fatso do for NM, a Failed Runner, buying planes when one would do, being with drunk cops and others in a boat etc.
Giving the Indians a TWENTY FIVE year COMPACT, UNHEARD of and now NM won't see one penny more from them for years and years from now.
A compact should be no longer than FIVE years at most but my personal attitude is since they are Americans there should be no gambling or double set of laws for them and we take care of everything while they rack the bucks in.
Back to Governor Martinez, as a lawyer, every lawyer wins a few cases and loses several, nature of their business.
Remember now Heather Wilson is also owned by the petroleum industry.

The entire state needs to reform this "paid administrative leave" crap.
The very least is require the person to show up at the office and sit on a stool with a tall pointed cap saying DUNCE or on Paid Leave, cannot talk to you or give advice till I am fired.
But to pay them to stay one one paid vacation for a year or two is wrong.
Take away their passports, put ankle bracelets on and restrict them to going no more than 5-10 miles from home.
Regardless of whether it is a city trash collector being investigated for theft or Rick Mays who is being paid $12,500 a month to do nothing.

I realize this was directed to someone else, but I want to add I have no respect for Richardson either. He obviously did something wrong if he had to hide it. Plus stepping away when Obama gave him an opportunity. At least that shows he may have been bad, but he wasn't going to let his dirt tarnish Obama's run.
You mention pay-to-play though and seems you have forgotten about the Downs deal along with a few other things she has done which she swore she was against.
She has yet to really make clear what her dealings are with the water down here.

She can't stand on her own two feet. the state is going down, because she is leading it. Richardson came back with jobs each time he left on a political trip, she came back with a job fair for Tempurpedic, with no hires at all. They haven't really hired anyone since they started years back.
I'm glad you are still here. Your topix page hasn't had a post listed for you in 13 days, yet here you are. Do not give up the fight, and I'm glad you have not.
You were railroaded by a racist whore.

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't she a personal friend of the Downs owners? Not just as Governor but even before that there is a personal connection, yes?
As for Richardson backing down from Obama agreed smart move, whether he was asked to, told to or did it on his own.
Don't forget Bernalillo County has a great plea on every case DA and I don't rank her very high on my list either.
As for keeping up on threads, right at times I get busy and don't back track to be sure of what has been said etc.

Um politicians are not responsible for bringing or creating jobs. It's political talk and that's it. Jobs are created by the private sector and while the government affects the private sector by taxes and regulations the fact is the government does not create jobs so when a politician makes such a promise they are truly blowing smoke.
I'm Justice is just a choice and I approve this message.

What I have been saying for years, government using tax money is not creating jobs, it is only temporary helping business.
Regardless of what others say there is only one true way to get Americans back to work, outlaw outsourcing and bring those jobs back to America.
BUT the unions, the works and the businesses all must agree to cut back on cost, pay and benefits in order to provide those jobs at a reasonable cost.
And that reasonable cost must include the amount paid to CEO or the owners.
I can't justify paying some CEO millions to sit on their fat azz while the workers in some cases have to do without AC or good heat in buildings.
Amazon would be a good case, some of their warehouses lack or lacked AC and employees were overcome by heat exhaustion. That has been documented and in the news.
As for Governor Martinez going to private schools, not read about it but would not matter to much as long as her education and degree are legal.

Here's the real problem with the whole jobs scenario, if a politician brings in a company or helps some corporation establish their business in an area then the immediate concern is exactly how is the politician profiting, who's pocket are they in, etc.
So technically a politician can't get into the development of a business because it may come across illegal or in fact just might be.
Lastly businesses fail in America not because of any politician (well maybe), but they fail because the American consumer doesn't purchase their product.
Let's just look at the automotive industry, since Paul Ryan mentioned it. Americans buy a boat load of foreign made cars, whereas Foreign countries rarely if ever buy American made cars. So how can anyone expect an American auto manufacturer to do well and then dare say it's the politician's fault.
That was Obama's mistake, giving billions to the auto industry so yes the business can float, but in the end if Americans aren't buying the product then the company is still failing because there are no profits.
Americans need to invest in America, not the other way around.

You should know better about that by now because you've been exposed to a number of facts right here on Topix. Most good jobs in New Mexico are a result of government hiring or paying other companies to hire. If you work at LANL, Sandia Labs, the Forest Service, or the Defense department itself, you owe your job to the government. And that's just the Feds.
Without government sponsored jobs, New Mexico's economy is what it was in the 1930s.... horribly depressed.

Unfortunately I am on the tax paying side that supports those jobs.

Nonsense. Paul Ryan's family made their fortune brokering labor... for road projects paid for by the government. Anyone who works in the defense industry has a kob created by the government. Anyone who teaches at a public school, puts out fires, or arrests bad guys has a job created by the government.
Even that guy from Mountainair who spoke at the GOP thing the other night got over a million in loans from the government. Anyone who says that the government doesn't create jobs is wither living in a distant century, is ignorant, or is a god damned liar.
