There’s something you might want to keep in mind about the state level Democrat wind machine as we move forward toward 2012. It has been their practice to ignore their own out of state campaign dollars as they attack anyone or anything on the Republican side with even the most tenuous connection to influence from outside the state. Even the governor has stood up and declared that he is against the influence of money from outside the state, while hundreds of thousands have poured into his pockets from places farther and wider than the political borders of the Granite State. But that’s all superficial by comparison to this.
How do governor Lynch, Chairman Buckley, presumptive democrat candidates for 2012 at every level, the whole of the democrat party, even their RINO sympathizers, explain why they embrace massive infusions of out of state money and all the disruptive influence it has at the state and local level…from the federal government?
No ‘special interest’ has deeper pockets, more strings, or a more corrosive effect on the relationship between the people and their local government, than the Federal government. But democrats in New Hampshire can’t seem to “balance” a budget without it. Not only are they committed to the relationship, their congressional candidates insist, (the ones they have already scrubbed of the state party website) that we need to get our money back from Washington—limitations, rules, strings, and problems attached—rather than working to keep it here in the first place.
Talk about co-dependent.
So the next time (how about every time) a democrat starts talking about the influence of ‘outside money,’ aside from the standard hypocrisy you’ll find on their campaign finance reports, ask them to explain their plan for protecting New Hampshire from the biggest special interest of all; the federal bureaucracy.
