NH House Candidate Lisa Smart (R) earned a Cornerstone endorsement for being Pro-Life. Cornerstone is a Conservative, Christian-oriented organization. But at the 10-24-2022 Bipartisan Candidate Forum for NH House & Senate, held at the Meredith (NH) Community Center, something changed.
She hedged her stance with the phrase, “…I am Pro-Choice…” Is this due to the endorsement of the Democrat-founded, funded, organized, and strategized Citizens for Belmont PAC (CFB)?
As one of the few Republicans still standing after the CFB knocked off 10 Conservatives, she was attacked by actual Democrats in the media/social media.
Flip-flop or a desperate attempt to keep from being crowded out by the two real Democrats running in the two-seat race (and she’d be the third man out)?
Appreciate that this Lakes Region Public Access (vod.lrpa.org) video was brought to my attention.
As I do many times (but not always), I leave it up to you to make the decision:
However, in general, it is NEVER a good idea to change Principles in mid/late stream for political expediency (er, I WON’T GET ELECTED IF I DON’T FLIP-FLOP!!). Even those that aren’t immersed in the steaming mess that is politics just before an election can suss that out.
