Speaker O'Brien sounding rather petulant in the Telegraph:
Given the recent partisan attacks on the American Legislative Exchange Council and legislators who are members, I have elected to become a member. These attacks are being played out in newspaper articles and letters to the editor here and throughout the country.
Well, at least he's coming out as the corporate lickspittle we all knew he was. It doesn't occur to him that it goes against the spirit of "live free or die" to have corporations write the laws of our state.
Opponents' attacks are happening because ALEC members support free-market health care, tax fairness, tort reform and a limited, more transparent government.
Ah, transparency. ALEC was a secret for years, until a dimwit in Florida filed ALEC written legislation with the ALEC heading still on the paper. Secret and transparent are not synonyms.
Out-of-state activists carrying on a national campaign of demonizing organizations that are founded on such principles have no role here and should be rejected by those who care about returning jobs and prosperity to New Hampshire.
Out of state activists.....hmmm....like NOM? Like the National Right to Work Committee? This kind of flagrant hypocrisy isn't a surprise any more. It's become rather tedious.
The Speaker is counting on 2 things. I) Voter are idiots 2) The NH media is going to keep on giving him a free ride.
