Calling themselves “non-partisan” was always a ruse – simply camouflage for the end game and that end game is now here: November 8th’s General Elections. A loyal reader let me know that the Citizens for Belknap PAC is now endorsing extremist Democrats (and Republicans that support major Democrat issues) as only Democrats can be moderate. Including those Progressive Democrats that openly support socialist and communist agenda items and values.
You know, like the Critical Race Theory maxim that holds that ALL Whites are racists and Oppressors and everyone else is Oppressed by them so the latter must always rise up against the former because ONLY “group level” struggle matters – individuals don’t.
The CfB hasn’t yet shown their endorsements in all of the districts in Belknap County but the first four are out: District 7 (Alton/Barnstead), District 4 (Belmont), and District 1 (Center Harbor). This was never about “extremist” Republicans, it was a Trojan Horse where Gunstock was the Horse and Republicans (like Jade Wood, Doug Lambert, Tim Lang, Harry Bean) opened City County’s gates expected to be rewarded:
I dryly note that in Center Harbor, Tom Ploszaj went from being a “neutral” to a “yer outta theah!”. After all, for a Democrat PAC, a Democrat is ALWAYS better than a Republican even if, as the PAC said of him “…While we appreciate him standing up for Gunstock on August 1…” – usefulness complete. Barbara Comtois, Paul Terry, and Peter Varney are good to rock solid Republicans. The CfB could not persuade the good voters in Alton and Barnstead to remove them (and David Hershey, their endorsement in the Primary “melted” in the heat of battle).
If these were the only Districts, the Democrats would now be in total control of the (abbreviated) Delegation – with 6 Democrats and 1 Republicans (currently all those seats are in Republican hands). Guess what that means across a whole range of issues and governance? But the goal of the monied people, some now former commissioners, would be sealed from observation with this firewall. And I’m betting that the other districts will turn out to be similar in “endorsement outcomes”.
I dryly note that the only Republican endorsed is anti-Parental Rights and anti-Right To Work as well as being part of the Lang Gang: Travis O’Hara. I guess they still view him as “useful” so what does that tell you when a Republican is endorsed by a Democrat PAC?
I’ve called the CfB a “Revenge PAC” twice over. First is in retaliation of Conservatives, as I have said over and over, in the Delegation putting people onto the Gunstock Area Commission asking uncomfortable and penetrating questions about both the Gunstock Area Commission itself and the Gunstock Mountain Resort. The entire goal was to stop that cold (via political stunts) and then shutting the door (electorally). Second, and as expected, the Democrat PAC’s purpose was to use Gunstock as a front and then get Democrats elected in their stead and turn Belknap County from Red to Blue – something that the Democrats haven’t been able to accomplish. And it is likely that those Republicans that DO make it passed November 8 will be MUCH more malleable to the Democrats (and further CfB political punishment) than the Principle driven ones they beat in the Primary.
Note: for a moment, as I was working on this, other endorsements came up but flickered out when I refreshed the pages. I was not surprised at what I saw but I guess I will have to wait to present it here.
