(If by "awfully weird" you mean "laughably untrue"... - promoted by Dean Barker)
An interview with GOP Chairman Sununu was front-page "news" in the Portsmouth Herald on Friday. It was a trip to fantasy-ville, with the ex-Governor using the word "radical" 4 times when referring to the legislature. That's right: no income tax, no sales tax, no cap gains tax, no estate tax. But they're still a bunch of radicals.
The interview was further evidence, also, that its recent purchase by Rupert Murdoch has not been a great thing for the Herald.
Here are a few of Sununu's bigger whoppers:
The state budget passed by the Legislature this week is a deliberate step by Democrats toward a state income tax.
Why? Cuz he said so, that's why! By way of "proof" he cites one member of the House "Appropriations and Ways and Means" committee who is pro-income tax. His staff needs to tell him that the committee dropped "Appropriations" from its name many years ago.
Passage of a same-sex marriage law is a kickback to "radical left groups" from out of state that funded Democrats' campaigns in 2006 and 2008....It was quid pro quo, said the GOP chairman, that the out-of-state, agenda-laden money went to the N.H. State Democratic Committee then to local Democratic candidates with the implicit expectation that a gay-marriage bill would be passed.
Got that, legislators? Your vote was purchased wholesale by out-of-staters, and you never knew! You thought you were voting in the great tradition of personal freedom we cherish here, and to end an obvious example of discrimination. I guess the joke's on you!
The Democratic Party has been taken over by the radical left and nobody noticed.
Except Sununu, of course. The Unblinking Eye sees all.
Lynch is the worst governor in New Hampshire history. This governor is afraid of his Legislature.
Why? He already answered this: Cuz he says so!
The budget puts more pressure on cities and towns, likely forcing them to raise property taxes.
Forget about the fact that the state is sending more money than ever to cities and towns despite the economy. By Sununu's idiosyncratic reckoning, more is less when it comes from Democrats.
Look, I know Sununu is the chairman of the opposition , and part of his job description is to lie about our party, but sheesh... what does he think when he looks in the mirror?
Do other Republicans get a little embarrassed when they read this sort of thing, or do they say something like, "hey, that's just John being John"?
