Cornerstone has issued its legislative scorecard for the 2017-18 session, bringing forth this reaction from the chairman of New Hampshire’s Democratic Party (which may account for an increase in the scorecard’s circulation):
As someone who has worked with Cornerstone (currently as a consultant), I think it’s worth looking at what Mr. Chairman considers “anathema to NH values.”
Democrat Lee Nyquist is a New Hampshire Democrat running for the State Senate in District 9. Nyquist has embraced the Democrat state party narrative in which every Democrat from Shea-Porter and McKluster (running for congress), all the way down to every “Democrat running for anything” is running against the TEA Party.
As part of this fiction Nyqusist claims he is for “New Hampshire Values not TEA Party values.” That’s what the ad says. But anyone who knows how Democrats govern (and how they governed New Hampshire) would be right to ask how thier “Big Government tax and spend Massachusetts Values” could ever be passed off as New Hampshire values?
The Entire New Hampshire Democrat party is running against the TEA Party. They claim that they stand for New Hampshire values, not TEA Party values. Well I can see why Democrats would object to TEA Party values but are they sure they can lay claim to New Hampshire Values?
For the novices in the audience the TEA Party stood up to object to excessive spending and the taxes that spending would inevitably require. (If your president spends 5 trillion dollars in just three years and you don’t make a peep in objection, that is a Democrat party value–someone has to pay for that, and it is the middle class and everyone else and suggesting otherwise it a bald-faced lie; another Democrat party value?) Americans saw that for what it was when it started in 2009 and rose up in opposition. T.E.A = Taxed Enough Already.
Knowing what we know about New Hampshire Democrats do you really want them speaking for your values? I don’t think you do. But here are a few examples of New Hampshire Democrat Values to help you decide.
