Yeah, I said I wasn’t going to name your company anymore. Why should I as you’re doing it all by yourself (see the above image if you’ve missed it before)? Well, you set the New Rules when you said that you (and Jade Wood) both were going to resign if the Belknap County Delegation refused to bow to your demand to do something by 5 pm on July 29th).
…Frankly, during the second Public Session, both of them sounded like a pair of Doomsday Climatistias in which WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE IF <pick something> DOESN’T HAPPEN RIGHT NOW!!! It’s very much like they were Fire and Brimstone touring circus tent-based Evangelists warning of eternal damnation if you don’t get rid of your Devil. Or replicated by almost every candidate’s frenzied fundraising email that says the other side is going to win if you don’t give me $100 in 10 minutes. But that kind of rhetoric, when used in the political arena, is a tried and true part of the Saul Alinksy toolkit.
So, the “Wag the Dog” – Clinton bombed an aspirin factory in Libya in an attempt to take attention away from his political problems. Lambert and Wood tried the same thing:
IF THE DELEGATION DOESN’T DO SOMETHING BY 5 PM, WE’LL RESIGN TOO!
…At 5 p.m., they stood outside Gunstock’s ticket office with a half dozen employees and members of the Lambert family. Lambert folded and unfolded an unsigned resignation letter in his hands. “I had made up my mind to do this tonight,” Lambert said, referring to his letter if no action or action plan had come from the delegation. “But I owe this one last opportunity to the wonderful staff to make this work.”
Yeah, that didn’t happen as they both chickened out and made up excuses. Didn’t have the courage of their convictions. They hung themselves out to dry on their own petards. They thought they had the “juice”, at that time, to make it happen. And then it didn’t. Other people had to do their heavy lifting later on. He walked the political high wire a second time (re: NH Democrat Party Chair Ray Buckley being his most ignoble sense of himself) and fell off when their bluff was called. Taking me on is now a third time believing he can go after another political person he doesn’t like. So let’s revisit his latest threat:
A third high wire act. Which started to think about what you wrote (above):
I have your threatening message on my phone saved from last month.
and my response to it was (emphasis now):
And for the life of me, I can’t remember what I said a month ago – feel free to forward to me and I’ll post it here for EVERYONE to listen to. You know, openness and transparency – things you USED to stand for.
Hey Doug, I CHALLENGED you. So far, bupkis. No voicemail from you. I would have thought that if you had it, you’d have HAPPILY sent it over and have a great laugh at my expense in proving your allegation. If you had such, I know that you’d be acting just as gleeful as you were that Saturday morning calling out Ray Buckley on his birthday as I’d have to hear my own words. You still have the chance to rub your hands together if what you claim is true.
Is it? Or is this yet another bluff? Here I am, giving you the chance to embarrass me in front of my friends and my readers. As I said – openness and transparency. I don’t remember what I said so you have the Power in this offer – a second offer.
Or, like your resignation promise, are you bluffing again? Go ahead – prove me wrong.
So let’s get to the actual matter at hand – if there ISN’T a voice mail, what should Belknap County residents think of you? Truthful? Someone that they know isn’t double-dealing behind their backs? That when you tell them something, they can depend on what you say? That you are “apolitical” (snort) in all things? Or now that YOU are the political extremist willing to do what is necessary to achieve your end goal? Which to me, at this point, is protecting those people and hidden things that you were put onto the Commission in the first place? And then repudiated them? And canceled the Legal and Audit sub-committees that were looking into those rumored malfeasances?
Like you used to decry in years past? Tsk, tsk, tsk.
And how will they view you as a Commissioner that is supposed to be in overwatch mode now that you canned the investigations? Even after watching the videos I’ve taken and watched your behaviors?
