It is April Fools Day, which means it is a perfect day for political parties to issue witty, or lack thereof, press releases.

Today, New Hampshire Republican Chairman Fergus Cullen issued a statement titled, "NH DEMOCRATS SNOW JOB: PLOT OR BIZARRE METEORLOGICAL-POLITICAL COINCIDENCE?"

"April Fools Day is a good time to consider a bizarre fact held in common by the winters of 1873-74 and 2007-08.  Can you guess what it is?," the release states. "Not only do you have to go back to 1873-74 to find a winter with more snow than this year, but that was also the last time New Hampshire Democrats held the governor's office and majorities in both houses of the state legislature at the same time."

"Let me get this straight...Instead of admitting that John Sununu and the NH Republican Party have lost touch with Granite Staters, Fergus is blaming his demise on the weather? What's next? The dog ate his FEC filing?," responded New Hampshire Democratic Party spokeswoman Pia Carusone.

Cullen's press release also listed examples that he says reflects, "the priorities of the extreme left wing that dominates the New Hampshire Democratic Party."

• Legalizing pot
• $250 fines for the release of helium balloons
• Wasting time debating impeachment resolutions instead of dealing with serious issues like Gov. Lynch's growing budget deficit created by Lynch's 17.5% increase in state spending; education funding; and the ed funding constitutional amendment
• Mandating the use of seatbelts
• Mandating smoking policies in private businesses instead of letting the free market decide
• Mandating the cooking policies of private restaurants instead of trusting individuals to make up their own minds about whether they need that hamburger

Carusone responded to the list with her own list:

1. No one has introduced or voted to legalize pot.
2. A Republican sponsored the Helium Balloon Bill was killed by the Democratic Senate.
3. A Republican has introduced a frivolous impeachment for our member of congress.
4. Governor Lynch has acted boldly to reacted to the Bush downtown in the economy.
5. The budget increase was 3% when you take out non-discretionary spending like retiree's healthcare.
6. Republicans killed the constitutional amendment in 2007 and every time before, they need to put people above politics.
7. The Democratic Senate killed the seat belt law.
8. 79% of Granite Staters support the restaurant smoking ban.
9. Huh?
