" “She is a Texan,” Denish said."

“She is a Texan,” Lt Gov Diane Denish said, in an interview with the Rio Grande Sun, link.

She offers that as a good reason to vote against DA Susana Martinez for Governor.

And I find myself wondering how prejudice and bigotry like that, is any better or different, than arguing that people should vote for against Martinez because she is Hispanic, or a woman, or short, or any one of a number of other descriptors that buoy prejudice and bigotry, but don't speak at all to legitimate political issues.

Is Susana a Tejana?

Who cares?

Shame on anyone who would cast their vote on so pathetic a basis.

And shame on Diane Denish for feeding that kind of prejudice and bigotry.
