Lynch slams national Democratic party for backing Markey
Boston Herald ^ | April 3, 3013 | Hillary Chabot, Joe Battenfeld

U.S. Rep. Stephen F. Lynch, the underdog in the Democratic special Senate election, blasted national Dems for their unfair backing of his rival U.S. Rep. Edward J. Markey and for blocking donations to him, but vowed that he would outwork his opponent to clinch a win.

“They haven’t been fair,” Lynch said of the national Democrats who he says have funneled donations and some union support Markey’s way. “No they haven’t been fair. I think they’ve done their best to discourage people from sending me contributions from Washington. They’ve basically said Markey’s our guy, don’t give to Lynch.”

In a wide-ranging interview with the Herald today, Lynch said he faces an uphill battle because the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee backed Markey.

I don’t really see it as a fight, it’s one puny lib whining about not getting on the regime gravy train.

Markey is the perfect Bloomberg/Liz Warren/Pelosi type candidate.

I’m switching to Independent to vote for Lynch. Markey must be defeated. He’s running Gun Control Whore ads here in MA. I’ll switch back to (R) after I vote.

I encourage other MA ‘pubs to do the same.

Lynch has co-sponsered the bill to make all gun owners buy insurance.

I heard a caller to a local Worcester radio show the other day saying that Markey is just a ‘place holder’ for Joe Kennedy III. Apparently Mr. “Joe 4 Oil” thinks MA voters will elect him to the Senate. Sadly he might be right; after all they kept sending his Uncle, Teddy the Swimmer, back to the Senate every 6 years, until he resigned because he was dying.
