After losing Tuesday's primary, state Rep. Anthony DiFruscia of Windham officially changed his registration from Republican to independent. "It appears as if the Republican Party is imploding," he wrote in an e-mail to legislators.
What happened?
DiFruscia, a moderate, pro-gay marriage Republican who has served in the New Hampshire House for 10 years, was targeted by the right. "I had seven mailers against me," DiFruscia said.
One mailer pictured DiFruscia as a flasher at an elementary school and another made him look like he was presiding over a gay marriage. According to DiFruscia, the senders included libertarian Republican groups in New Hampshire, the National Organization for Marriage in Washington, a right-to-work group, and a group called "New Hampshire Citizens for Truth."
I'm going to have more on the lurch rightward of the NHGOP, but for now - seven mailers against one state house candidate? Just wow.
The GOP has no conceivable reference point any longer to the principles of its founding.
Adding: It's clear from the part in bold that while Nancy Eliot may not be running, Nancy Eliot-ism is running the party. Disgraceful.
