A BIG Endorsement for Jeanie Forrester in NH Senate District 2

Well, it looks like the newcomer has a lot more going for her than the long term pol in this race; The Union Leader has given its nod to Jeanie Forrester (emphasis mine): The Republican primary in New Hampshire’s 2nd Senate District pits newcomer Jeanie Forrester of Meredith against longtime New Hampton representative Fran Wendelboe. …

Another endorsement for Jack Kimball: Seacoast Freedom Network

Data Point – Republicans now more trusted than Democrats on stuff that matters

It took Republicans 12 long years to let power get to their heads and believe that they were better than they thought they were.  Guess Democrats are far superior – they only needed 4 years (starting with taking over Congress).  So for the most important issues, it’s nice to see it in an objective format: …

President Obama? There are lies of commission and untruths of omission – yours was the latter

Of COURSE, like all good Leftists (just like NH CD-2 CongressCritter wannabe Ann McLane Kuster), President Obama tried last night to insinuate that much of the deficits in the recent past can be blamed on that irresponsible Iraq War (you know, the one he was against before he tried to take credit for?).

Another Amended Filing in CD-1

Well don’t act surprised because NH-01 candidate Rich Ashooh’s will have to amend his FEC filing. It appears he failed to list all his “secret” bank accounts on his original filing. In fact, the filing fails to list any accounts, no investments, funds, savings, nothing–just his salary income, his mortgage, and the board or committees on which he sits. Rich Ashooh has no savings or investments? Where’s the false outrage?

The GOP Civil War, Part Deux

Hip, hip, HOORAY! Joe Miller pulls it out in the Alaska senatorial primary against the chosen (and some say corrupt) choice of the hacks at the Republican National Senatorial Campaign Committee (NSRC) led by Mitch McConnell. The civil war going on right now within the Republican Party is good for us. "Why?" you ask?
