But isn’t John H Sununu a Republican that attacks Democrats?

Sununu Gnome 2.0The tax problem that Walt Havenstein has, taking a homestead tax credit that he should not have, is certainly making the news.  Yet, I thought this was rather amusing by former NH Gov and former NH GOP Chair John E. Sununu in a “rousing” defense of Havenstein in the UL:

Former Gov. John H Sununu, in the campaign’s release, called the (tax) bill an attack orchestrated by Democrats, pointing out that Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley is a Democrat.  “That the Democrats are willing to use a gross abuse of power to attack Walt is despicable,” Sununu said in the statement.

Right.  Got it; merely saying O’Malley is a Dem is sufficient?  I dryly note that you didn’t discuss that fact that Havenstein VOLUNTARILY signed those tax docs – the bluster is only in that he got CAUGHT!  After all, if the situation was reversed, you’d do it in a heart beat (directly or via surrogates – your rep precedes you).  He’s like NH GOP Chair Jennifer Horn in this regard – although her tax problems are Federal IRS and are seemingly > 10X the one that Havenstein is having.

Can’t the NH GOP do better? Some standard of a rather low bar:  Two known tax cheats (Havenstein, Horn)  as part of the NH GOP Establishment Elite?  These are who we are supposed to look up to as role models and as the face of the GOP here in the Live Free or Die State?  Or are we starting to follow down the roads of MA and IL in tax cheat land (I see, just to keep good company, Kuster owes $11K too?  Or was that her last time?).

Heh!  “Low bar” -that reminds me that I should have added this to that last statement: “and a known drunk (that would be NH State Senator David Boutin)”.  And should we being to talk about Govt jet travel, again?

Sheesh….
