Floundering campaign turns to Washington lobbyists after railing against special interest money
After two dismal fundraising quarters, Frank Guinta is hoping that Washington special interest money will resuscitate his floundering campaign for Congress. But the move looks desperate, coming on the heels of a statement issued by the Guinta campaign criticizing his opponent for taking special interest money.
In a flailing attempt to defend his weak fundraising performance, the Guinta campaign released a statement complaining about "PAC or lobby money" and that his opponent was "being financially supported by out of state interests."
"How can anyone take Frank Guinta seriously?" asked Derek Richer, Press Secretary for the New Hampshire Democratic Party. "The hypocrisy is astounding. He complains about special interests one week and then attends a fundraiser hosted by Washington lobbyists the next."
This isn't the first time that Frank Guinta has come under fire for his questionable judgment. FEC reports recently revealed that Guinta received a donation from a major insurance company PAC the day before publishing an Op-Ed supporting their position on health care reform.
"The last time Guinta accepted PAC money he published an Op-Ed the next day parroting the insurance industry's talking points," continued Richer. "Now that Guinta is going to a fundraiser hosted by the National Restaurant Association, I wonder if we'll see an Op-Ed from him detailing the health benefits of chicken McNuggets?"
