NH INSIDER

According to David Lang's twisted logic all firefighters are against parental notification, but I'll get to that in a moment.

The left wing has come out in defense of Jeff Goley and a deceptive mailer he sent out that claimed..

  "As your state senator, Jeff Goley will lead the fight to reform the LLC tax,” and , "I will invest in small businesses and lead the fight to reform the LLC tax to help our economy grow."

So let me see if I understand this.  The entirety of your legislative history portrays you as a serial tax and spender (NHHRA rating of 16% and NHLA rating of “D.”)  You vote for government first and foremost regardless of the people’s ability to pay for it.  You voted for the LLC tax on small businesses to help fill a hole in the budget you and your party created by growing it another 10% despite mounting job losses in a recession.  And now that you are running for the State Senate you promise to lead the fight for reform?

You may be "growing something" pinocchio, but I don't think it's the economy.  And reform?  Is that the same reform the national democrats have been trying for the past 12 months? I don’t think New Hampshire can handle any more democrat reform.  Because what you are really referring to is more government, more spending, and more taxes. Been there, been done-over by that.

“Fight to reform” is code for  "find new ways to deprive people of their earnings" because the left believes your earnings belong to the government, and only through their good graces have the people and businesses been allowed to keep it up to this point.   

Goley the small business tax reformer.  Yes, he reformed the law to tax small business.  We got that.

But the most desperate defense of all in "Mailer-gate" comes was from David Lang, president of the Professional Firefighters of New Hampshire.  Mr. Lang said, NHGOP Chairman John Sununu…

"…should be ashamed and embarrassed about his inflammatory comments calling into question the integrity of firefighters, including Jeff Goley."

Calling into question the integrity of all firefighters? You really want to go there? 

This is one of those Mo Baxley moments in reverse.  Because Jeff Goley is a firefighter, any comment about him is a comment about all Firefighters.  See how that's supposed to work?  Goley can't stand up for his own record, and he's been caught in a bold faced lie, so the only way to protect him is to try to make his face that of every hard working, life sacrificing firefighter, ever. 

How collectivist of you.  Well, Mr. Lang, I have the highest esteem for firefighters, and frankly—I disagree with you here.  I do not believe your claim holds water.  But if that’s how you’d like to play it, then if anything anyone says about Jeff Goley's politics by default applies to Firefighters,  then whatever Jeff Goley does as a politician--including what he votes for, what he mails to people, and where he stands on issues, all firefighters must--by your formula--accept responsibilty for supporting.

So according to Mr. Lang, ladies and gentleman, every firefighter in this state is not only against Parental notification in the event that a minor wants or seeks an abortion, they are against parental notification with exceptions for medical emergency as well.   In fact, Jeff Goley voted against every compromise bill that would have restored even partial rights for parents to know if someone was going to perform an abortion on their underage daughter.

So are all firefighters against a parents rights.  All of them? Every last one?

Take a survey and get back to me, but I bet that almost every firefighter with a daughter would disagree, and plenty with just son's besides.  In fact, I would bet that most firefighters would expect their sons and daughters to take responsibility for their actions and own up to them instead of trying to be decpetive.

But not according to Mr, Lang.  So who has the integrity problem now?

I’m sure Mr. Goley is an outstanding firefighter and he has my thanks and appreciation.  But that has no bearing on his politics, or representative Goley’s effort to suspend disbelief about his record so he can fool people into putting another go-along get-along, tax and spend, grow government, left wing rubber stamp vote in the state senate.

As I said before, been there--done that.  It's time for real change.
