Suicide Watch

I’ve been contemplating this off and on for weeks.  That the democrat leadership is all in on the statist agenda and that they can probably get the votes needed to push large chunks of their agenda up Pennsylvania Avenue, no matter how loudly or how often the electorate objects.  Andy McCarthy over on The Corner … Read more

Reaction to Scott Brown’s YEA vote on the $15 Billion Democrat jobs bill today

Scott Brown (R), the new US Senator from MA, cast a vote for latest (Stimulus III?) Democrat "Jobs" Bill.  His response to those that supported and voted for him in the recent special reaction (especially those unhappy with that vote) was the vollowing: Here’s Brown’s statement about why he voted for the "jobs" bill. “I … Read more

Less Than Useless

Remember how Shaheen didn’t have the sense to use her own parties partisan influence buying combine to turn her rubber-stamp vote for Trotsky care into a complete 12 lane rebuild of I-93 from Salem all the way to Hudson bay?  Well there is subterfuge afoot again in the White House and as usual New Hampshire’s left wing wall flowers either can’t get into the dance, or don’t have their figurative political bra stuffed enough to attract the eye of the people with any real influence. 

Of course, knowing Shaheen, if it had occurred to her she’d have used her vote to form a blue-ribbon committee, to promote a wind farm contract, to create or save jobs for her lawyer buddies who would  rake in millions from taxpayers and government funded Green groups fighting both sides of an environmental impact lawsuits for twelve years; well past her impending single term as a US senator from New Hampshire.  But at least  her, Billy, and former congressman Paul Hodes would have work when they got out so maybe she’s not stupid, she’s just selfish. 

Anyway, I bring it up because Red State reports that…


Last week, Democratic Senate Candidate Joe Sestak, a retired Admiral, let slip in an interview that someone in the White House offered him a position in the Administration if he would drop his primary challenge of Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania. 

This is of course illegal. Federal law prohibits anyone from offering, soliciting, or receiving any federal office in exchange for a political favor, and it looks like the White House tried to get Sestak to drop his challenge of Arlen Specter.  Don’t be surprised if you can’t hear any sirens wailing.

Dope

Paul Hodes is a dope.  A big dope.  And as proof, we have this recent quote from this morning’s Union Leader.

McCotter on the Sham-WOW Summit!

McCotter was just in NH and he was great. Here is just another example of him leading the fight. He was the only member of Republican "Leadership" that voted against TARP as well.   See his recent NH video: http://granitegrok.com/blog/2010/02/thaddeus_mccotter_rmi_blogger_meeting_in.html The Crisis of Consent: Republicans Must NOT Abet Obama’s ShamWoW!

NEA-NH loves the ARRA

NEA New Hampshire is a-gush over the anniversary of the Stimu-less bill and they are not afraid to show it.  According to NEA-NH Insider the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)… …represents a huge win for education thanks to unprecedented funding increases targeted to local districts.  ARRA also included increases for Title I, stabilization funding, … Read more

Who Do You Trust?

CACR 26 would have allowed you to vote on whether to amend the NH Constitution.  The change would have prohibited the legislature from passing laws to creat broadbased sales or income taxes, or taxes on capital gains. The bill came out of committee as inexpedient to legislate, and the House voted to ITL it by … Read more

Media bias – reporting on the LLC tax – but not the entire picture.

The Concord Monitor had an article concerning the LLC tax that the Democrats, lead by socialist leaning Susan Almy, are trying to use to paper over their overspending ways: When Andy Sanborn started his first company, he recalls sleeping on the floor on an air mattress eating ramen noodles. Now, Sanborn owns The Draft in … Read more

TEA Party birthday – 1 year old today

Exactly one year ago today, a financial reporter for CNBC provided the spark that ignited the TEA Party movement.  What started it?  Rick Santelli merely upset that his money was going to be given to the irresponsible – and that is NOT the American way.  Or, used to be. Who knew that a few minute … Read more

“the Party of No.”

RINO’s and other go-along, get-along Republicans have traditionally been terrified of being labeled "the Party of No." It’s time for that BS to end. It’s been part of a long-running effort by the Democrats to Mau-Mau the GOP. This is the old, tired script Buckley [NH Democrat Party Chair]  is trying to make fly…one…last…time. In … Read more

Political lingo for…

OK, I am sick and tired of hearing the words “bipartisanship” or “bipartisan agreement” or “bipartisan commission”! We have a two party system for a reason.  There are some of us who believe in the Constitution, capitalism, free markets, limited government, capitol punishment for murderers, military tribunals for foreign terrorists, that abortion is murder, etc.  … Read more

Another in “a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations?”

  Listening to Mark Levin’s radio program last night, I heard a guest describe the massive debt being foisted on future generations of Americans due to the current government spending spree rightly as "taxation without representation." How else would you describe what is happening? Our children and their children’s children are going to get stuck … Read more

Thoughts about Fred and about some other Republicans

I also am thankful for Fred Tausch holding the event and bringing in the wonderful Andrew Breitbart, and helping out other GOP candidates…to the extent that the other candidates are real Republicans, and not RINO’s. One cautionary note, however: The reason some are indicating hesitation about Tausch has not been clearly explained. It is not … Read more
