A reader sent this into – think of it as a visual Op-Ed concerning how the Democrat founded, funded, and strategized Citizens for Belknap considers itself to be “apolitical” and “non-partisan”. I’ve already done my analysis of their Voter Guide (concentrating on the House races) so the match is a bit different but this was an interesting take:
Remember, in the Primary, ONLY Republicans were targeted. Conservative Republicans that were seen as “impediments” to what some monied people wanted to do with Gunstock. Why only Conservative Republicans? Certainly, Citizens for Gunstock knew about the Democrats that were in their Primary, right? Same place where the Republican listing was to be found: NH Secretary of State, Election Division.
Not a single mention.
Might one think that perhaps more than one Democrat would have been mentioned. Even now with the General Election a couple of weeks away, only ONE Democrat, E. Scott Cracraft, didn’t make their grade – was he actually too Progressive for them? Hard to believe…
Back to the “visual tally” – 17 Democrats are endorsed, 8 Rs, and 1 Republican. Certainly more than the House Republicans I concentrated on. But I can’t get a breakdown of who’s who in the Purple and Red designations – just a “virtual smile”.
But it IS clear that Democrats always prefer Democrats. No one should have been surprised by this.
