Denish Allegations: "Patently False"

The Democratic Party of New Mexico has been actively involved in defending Lt. Governor Diane Denish against baseless attacks on her leadership as Lt. Governor of New Mexico and her campaign for Governor.

Most recently, Lt. Governor Denish was accused of using tax payer money for sending our Christmas cards. Such attacks are not only reckless, but have created an atmosphere which is becoming increasingly negative in the lead-up to the elections of 2010.

Lt. Governor Denish herself has refuted these attacks:

It is no coincidence that these lies are being spread by a writer who is closely associated with the conservative Rio Grade Foundation.

In the wake of these allegations, it comes as no surprise that several Republican candidates for Governor were quick to accept the accusations as fact. Their desperation to find any fault with the Lt. Governor is apparent -- no GOP candidates have the support, finances, name recognition, ideas and most importantly the track record as does Lt. Governor Denish.

But being caught lying is one way to get your names in the headlines . . .
