GOP Base Uprising Against Kelly Ayotte Continues

by: Dean Barker

Wed Sep 08, 2010 at 19:46:51 PM EDT


The fallout continues from the revelation that Kelly Ayotte quietly paid Planned Parenthood $300,000 of Granite State money to settle the legal fees from the case Sarah Palin claims she "won".  Former US Senator Gordon Humphrey on the Laura Ingraham show:
Laura Ingraham: ...There was a case-parental notification. It went all the way to the Supreme Court. She was not obligated in her role as attorney general to authorize a payout of $300,000 in legal fees to Planned Parenthood. Am I getting anything wrong there?

Sen. Humphrey
: No, that is correct. That is absolutely correct. I'm not an attorney, but I've been advised by one of the most imminent attorneys in the state, that she could have rejected the judges' ruling, she could have appealed the judges' ruling that the state pay the defense costs for Planned Parenthood. She did not appeal it, she did not dig in her heels. In fact the whole thing was rather, um, quietly pushed under the rug...
And the UL is unrelenting, today with a guest cloumn:
Sarah Palin may know her Alaskan grizzly bears, but she got a bit confused here in New Hampshire, where we have only black bears. If Palin cares about the Constitution and the conservative values that prompted her ill-advised "mama grizzly" movement, she should admit her mistake and rescind her endorsement of Kelly Ayotte.

Well, she could have (4.00 / 1)
refused to settle, spent still more taxpayer money in court, and then lost and had the state pay. True enough, Gordo.

note to close readers: this might be sarcastic so think twice before reading to candidates for use in their attacks on each other

I sense she did it tonight in the debate.
