N.H. Dems launch ‘GOP dirty tricks’ website
By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com ReporterThe New Hampshire Democratic Party has started a website aimed at keeping track of what they call "Republican dirty tricks."
The website, "GOP Dirty Tricks," encourages visitors to fill out a form that details phone calls they have received, mailers being sent to mailboxes or any advertisements that are being aired.
"The website is your place to tell us about the dirty campaign tricks the Republicans are using to manipulate the election and distort the will of New Hampshire voters," according to an e-mail sent out by the state party promoting the site.
However, when the website launched this morning it did not have a disclaimer at the bottom of it.
David Scannell, New Hampshire Democratic Party Executive Director, said it was an "oversight."
"It was merely an oversight. There was nothing intentional about it."
The website now contains the disclaimer at the bottom of the site.

More Lies
These are the worst people on the planet working at the NHDP under Buckley. We have plenty of stories and maybe Fergus should post a site that chronicles the losers that work for Dems in NH. Are they still stuck on the stupid phone prank thing from 2002? Get over it, it didn't change any elections and the people already went to jail and no longer work for the party.
Scandal or Spending run amuck?
Hmm, as an independent voter should I be concerned with a 6 year old scandal or a State that is about to run a $200-$300 million deficit due to run amuck spending by the majority over these last two years.
As a tax payer I would have to choose the latter.
Give me a break
Anyone paying attention would see that Governor Lynch has boldly lead on erasing the Bush-economy-downturn-created budget woes.
As to the 2002 phonejamming. Why do NH Republicans insist on acting like Nixonian thugs? Each election cycle the Republican sleaze machine breaks the law in some fashion or another. Clean up your act.
What a great idea!
Some Democrat dirty tricks have already been documented on the Web. Let's do a site like this to serve as a clearinghouse!
Here's the new meme for the elections: Democrat dirty tricks! From sign stealing to bogus emergency sessions to franking abuse, let's flog it all!
Our State
As a candidate for public office and someone who thinks that New Hampshire is a great place to live, do we have to keep pumping the negitive and regrettable events in our states past.
The Democratics taking the high moral ground when it comes to dirty tricks is a stretch. They should look in the mirror and try to keep a straight face as they say Representitive Brenda Ferland, one of their own.
Funny
Ima Voter (aka Mr. Dem operative) needs to layoff the kool aid.
What did Lynch erase? All he did was stack debt. Last time i checked Lynch inherited a surplus which he burned through. What saved the state is its low tax burden as no income tax means no taxation on a workers productivity.
