State Sen. Chandley Raised Only $5 In District

Campaign Finance Reports! Yay! (Sarcasm, sort of.) There is usually a lot of material that comes out of campaign finance reports for State races, which we’ve written about before. Yesterday’s filings show that one NH Senator, Shannon Chandley, raised only $5 in district. Five bucks. Related: SoS Website – Search Filed Reports That doesn’t include … Read more

Stephen Colbert’s Campaign Finance Lesson

“Why does it get so complicated to do this? I mean, this is page after page of legalese,” Mr. Colbert lamented. “All I’m trying to do is affect the 2012 election. It’s not like I’m trying to install iTunes.”

If You Can’t Beat Them, Join Them

Go ahead...Speak!The day after a prominent democrat called for party reform to demonstrate how the left are the real fiscal conservatives in New Hampshire, the same democrat announces the formation of a 501(c)4 issues group, presumably to counter groups like Cornerstone Policy and Josiah Bartlett.

There are two direct quotes worth laughing at–I’m sorry noting.

"The big difference is that this will be a fact-based group,” she said. “I look at this as pragmatic and progressive, which is the New Hampshire way.”

New Hampshire is Progressive? That suggests some kind of substance abuse don’t you think.  Kool Aid perhaps? Then there’s this…

And Sullivan said that just like the conservative groups, her 501(c)(4), this organization will not be required to disclose its donors. While she’d rather have all sides disclose, “that’s not going to happen,” she said. “So, if you can’t beat them, join them. You have to play with the cards you’re dealt.”

(Quotes are taken from yesterdays Granite Status by John DiStaso.)

So let’s see.  The hypocrats are going to create a non-profit with mysterious donors, and this is a) new to them? and b) something we are supposed to give a damn about?

From The Strange But True File…

Courtesy of Moe Lane at Red State, apparently a group called the Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) had a pledge they wanted candidates to sign on to.  This petition was to show support for Net Neutrality rules.  For those not versed, Net Neutrality is another left wing Utopian nightmare spun as fairness, and promoted by the big players like Google, who stand to benefit from it.  Think of it simply as the path to a corporate socialist internet.  Google has donors to the PCCC PAC, and is even listed as a major expenditure by the PAC.  Google would win big if this crap ever saw the light of day.

The PCCC itself is co-founded by it’s treasurer Adam Green a professional left winger, and is powered by MoveOn.Org and big labor.  It’s goal is to elect progressives to replace anyone to their right including moderate democrats, though it looks like they started with open seat contests at first with an eye on "progressing" toward unseating Blue Dogs later on.

A left wing observer explained the PCCC like this…
