Greetings,

Since the state of the state address I have been giving much thought to the idea of John Lynch being the Governor from our party. When I look back at the last year of John Lynch's term I do not see a Democrat that is ideologically in line with our views of social justice, I see someone who has cast aside the Democratic agenda to ensure victory.

Recently the Republican Senate President leader Ted Gatsas basically said to John DiStaso of The Union Leader, why propose our own agenda when John Lynch has taken it up for us? The Lynch agenda is the Republican agenda.

Some may disagree pointing to small postulations such as LCHIP, but in the scheme of things thats small.

Lets look at the facts. John Lynch opposes an income tax. John Lynch has cut $400 million in education funding, John Lynch has done little to make corporations pay their fair share for health care.

While Craig Benson was a jerk at least he provided us someone we could run against. John Lynch governs with more of a smile and gentle touch but implements the same policies. Has he made any effort to stop Granite care, like he ran on in the election? NO!

I am not sure why concerned activists such as myself are all gung ho for John Lynch. Why do we accept someone who compromises their positions just to attain power?
