Hour One:
Segment 1 – Jeb Bradley comes on to chat with Doug & Skip as he is running for NH’s Senate District 3 against uber-liber Bud Martin. Skip related that Mr. Martin already has helped to raise his property taxes – and Martin is in another district! Thus, the ‘Grok and MTNP support him in this race as we did back for the primary and general November election. Jeb is comments on Doug’s observation that the liberal spenders are ruining this state; Jeb is out to stop that spending instead of supporting the litany of taxing bills the Democrats have ALREADY put in. He continues on the effects on tourism, housing, and industry that higher taxes will have AND the continued cost shifting back to property taxes.
He correctly notes the 17.5% rise in spending in the Democrat controlled House, State and governorship AND an additional 11% this year! They just cannot help themselves with this addiction! Our unemployment rate is lower than national because, so far, because of our business friendly environment – the Dems are changing that. He also comments on the changes to the culture that the Dems want to do (like the Bathroom Bill that would allow men into womens bathrooms). Jeb supports marriage as "one man & one woman" and not "genderless". Doug recalls that a couple of years ago that the LGBT lobby "only" wanted unions – now they want marriage. Election is April 21st!
Jeb’s website is JebForStateSenate.com
Segment 2 – Skip & Doug talk about the ramifications of the NH Senate District 3: holding on to our traditional "Life Free or Die" principles that Jeb promotes or the continued lurching towards bigger and bigger government that requires more and more taxes and more control by that government on our lives. Remember: Government never gets smaller – here’s the list of new taxes the Dems want to implement at BelknapCountyRepublicans.org. Are the Dems going to pull a Congress – stuff the spending into HB 2, not read it, and then go "we didn’t know what was in it!"?
Martin supports REGGI – the CO2 bill that is going to raise your electricity rates even MORE AFTER Obama’s raise them an additional $3,800 / family!
Matt Murphy of the NH Advantage Coalition comes on to talk about the Manchester Tea Party (Manchester’s Victory Park, 119 Amhearst Street, on April 15th at 5:30 PM), the AIG outrage – the outrage should be the BILLIONS the Feds are throwing at this (Skip rants about the Mobocracy in Congress pushing through an unconstitutional Bill of Attainer to tax people after the fact). Discussion about the Concord tax cap that 2,000 residents wanted that Superior Court rejected.
Quick take on the Medical Marijuana bill forum. More on the Tea Party! We, the productive side of society, are finally starting to revolt against those who caused this emergency with their politics and who now claim they have the solution. Part 1 Part 2
Hour Two:
COBRA – Skip & Doug talk about a side effect of the Stimulus Bill – putting a higher burden on business (COBRA) – this is supposed to stimulate the economy? Are the DC Pols out to help – or hurt? We are suffering for their NOT reading the legislative that they wrote?
Jack Kimball of the Granite State Patriots comes on to talk about their anti-protest today in Concord of the Peace Appeasers group and other anti-war, anti-Israel groups and to watch what this Administration is doing. We are not satisfied with just complaining – we are taking action to keep our traditions. People have to get active! The national Media is not helping.
Segment 2 – Doug & Skip go on a Liberal bashing expedition as Liberals bash America. Discussion of the conservative Straight Arrows in Laconia and how the Political Elite big liberal spenders (including one "principled conservative" out for himself). Liberals aren’t mean? Doug gives an example of a cartoon done by a well known liberal artist. FREE MONEY? TANSTAAFL concerning the W.O.W trail locally – "I don’t want to fund it but if somebody else wants to pay for what I want – great!" factor with DOT money instead of where it should go. Skip is scared – the new Congressional Budget Office debt estimates came out:
$928 Billion / year DEFICIT for 10 years – where is the sanity?!
?!?!We feel sorry for our children as the Boomer Generation wants what it wants and is not willing to sacrifice.
NH GOP Chair and former Gov. John H. Sununu comes back on to further describe how "The Democrats are ruining NH" as they are going to raise more taxes that will devastate tourism and middle class savings and hard work. He talks about the Dems creating "an emergency" due to their spending and now will try to ram through higher taxation so they can claim they have "solved it". Gov. Lynch may be a nice man but is kowtowing to the very Liberal Democrat leadership – when is he going to stand up for HIS values and veto the craziness. The Republican Bulldog tweaks the Libs with his sorrow for Carol Shea-Porter!
We finally have, after a long time, a Chair that can beat the Dem spokespeople at their own game. Next – the money side which is pouring in from Dems; we have to do the same (where’s the Media that used to decry money in politics?). Talked about Jeb running for NH Senate District 3.
We talk about Merrimack Power Station and how the looney Dems are trying to shut down 40% of NH’s electricity. They pass the laws requiring a coal scrubber and now they don’t want PSNH to recover the cost of it. Environmentalists want the scrubber – others hate it so they try to shut it down by saying renewables will take up the slack (proving they can’t count straight and proving they don’t know how electricity is made and distributed) – yet other environmentalists are fighting putting up the wind generators and panels that the second set wants!
Actually, they all want us to live as "the noble savage did" – which was neither noble or civilized – try short, brutish, and difficult. Part 1 Part 2
