Shame on Smear Merchant Corwin and His PAC

Michael Corwin

New Mexico’s biggest and most notorious smear merchant, Michael Corwin is at it again. His target this time isn’t a Republican, it is a Democrat. Unfortunately for Democratic Party challenger Cara Valente-Compton, her great sin is to challenge the state’s biggest political buffoon, Sheryl Williams Stapleton in New Mexico House District #19. For her efforts to give voters a choice in the Democratic primary, Valente-Compton has attraccted the attention of Corwin’s absurd distortion vehicle Independent Source PAC. In recent days Corwin has mounted one of the most outrageous attacks on a would-be public servant we have ever seen.

Cara Valente-Compton

As Valente-Compton’s has made an effort to defend herself from one of the nastiest hatchet jobs in New Mexico political history, Corwin’s Independent Source PAC has tried to tie her to Susana Martinez. Amazingly, Corwin justifies his assault by claiming he is defending "minority voting rights." And the champion of his minority sensitive cause is non other than Sheryl Williams Stapleton the woman who was once referred to our Governor as “the Mexican on the fourth floor.”
Democrats should be questioning why Corwin’s darling could possibly be someone as notorious as Sheryl Williams Stapleton. But so far the Democratic Party remains silent while ISPAC pounds away.

Sheryl Williams Stapleton

Corwin is nothing if not relentless. He has had the sheer audacity to accuse Valente-Compton and her campaign manager, Steve Cabiedes, of knowingly and willingly engaging in “voter suppression of minorities and financially disadvantaged voters.” He did so in commentary posted at NMPolitics.net. You can read his rant here.
Democrats would do well to distance themselves from smear merchant Corwin and his favorite political bully Sheryl Williams Stapleton. General election voters are wising up to the win at all costs tactics of Williams Stapleton and ISPAC. Their outrageous smear tactics against a fellow Democrat reflect poorly on anyone who is willing to tolerate them.
