Sixteen Democrats Join Senate Republicans to End Assault Weapons Bill In US Senate

April 18, 2013

(40-60.) The AWB is done for now.  The only Republican to vote for it was Senator Kirk from Illinois.  Our own Jeanne Shaheen (of course) voted to increase restrictions.  Shaheen also voted against concealed carry reciprocity, though I have to say that while it would have been nice, the Federal Government should not be telling states how to [ Read more ]

A Message to the Ayotte “I told You So” Crowd

April 18, 2013

Many of us objected to Senator Ayotte’s vote to break a filibuster on gun control.  Now that the measure is dead in the Senate, and Senator Ayotte voted to kill it, and Obama is mad as hell, the folks who thought we were overreacting, are all “well SEE!?” To these folks I submit the following:  [ Read more ]

Has Jeanne Shaheen Had A Come To Jesus Moment on Taxes?

December 13, 2012

Eighteen Democrat US Senators have sent a letter to Harry Reid requesting that the Medical Device tax portion of Obama-Care be delayed.

Barack Obama, Ben Ghazi, And Warren Women Walk Into a Bar….2.0

November 7, 2012

It occurs to me that the Obama Administration has a huge problem ahead of it. With Republicans retaining the US House, the various investigations will proceed unhindered.  New ones will begin.  And the idea of asking uncomfortable questions about the scope of Executive power should be brought to the fore. The US House has significant [ Read more ]

Ask Jeanne Shaheen – Where’s The Oversight?

May 29, 2012

According to this video (from Obama Isn’t Working.com) Mr. Obama has blown through $16 billion ($16,000,000,000.00) on public equity green energy gambles that have cost jobs and lost our money, much of it to Big Obama donors, and cronies. So here’s a question?  New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen cut her teeth in her first Senate [ Read more ]

Maryland – A US Senate Race to Watch

April 26, 2012

Maryland manages to suffer from its proximity to the bureaucratic beast that is Washington DC (and the Bos-Wash blue belt of the Atlantic coast), and as such is a place where Democrats just expect to get elected.  But Republican Dan Bongino is making an impression in his quest to challenge Maryland incumbent Senator Ben Cardin.

(US Senate) Democrats Still Running From The Budget

April 22, 2012

Hot Air: Only three Democrats bothered to show up at all, out of a dozen assigned to it.  Republicans showed up, prepared to cast votes to finally bring the ignominious streak of 1,085 days (as of yesterday) without a budget resolution to an end.  Sadly, Democrats — who control the committee, the chamber, and the [ Read more ]

So, our two NH based US Senators had the chance to vote on getting rid of earmarks; how’d they do?

February 5, 2012

Yeah, pretty much as expected: when voting on an amendment that would have banned earmarks (and hopefully, the corruption and self-serving pandering that often comes from it), we had a disparity in voting from our two US Senators.  As far as I am concerned, earmarks are nothing but giveaways to the politically connected.  Beseech a [ Read more ]

Laying Some Pipe

August 15, 2011

The Democrat controlled Senate had the opportunity to create jobs, generate growth, add some tax revenue, and did I say create jobs? But Harry Reid couldn’t bring himself to get the Keystone XL Pipeline project approved before the recess.

The Invertebrate Jeanne Shaheen?

December 14, 2010

So did Jeanne Shaheen vote for cloture on the Reid’s Frankenstein tax compromise and will she vote to pass it? I ask because it includes Billions for a one year extension of ethanol subsidies that Senator Shaheen just insisted we could not afford.

Food For Thought

December 1, 2010

Over here, you’ll find Senator Shaheen crowing about how great the new food safety bill is, and how she, Senator Jeanne Shaheen, helped pass it. (It’s crap like all the other dem bills but that’s not why she’s an ass.)
She is an ass because (and if it makes you feel better Judd Gregg is an ass for being both a co-sponsor and a yeah vote) there are provisions in this Senate bill (S510) that….raise taxes.

Nothing Fair About It

November 21, 2010

Every now and people who appear rational find themselves repeating nonsense, usually in the Nashua Telegraph which is one of New Hampshire leading sources for editorial nonsense.  This time around it’s a guest commentary from Robert Collinsworth, who has an internet footprint large enough to identify him as an otherwise sensible guy.  So why has [ Read more ]

Not Even A Passable Fraud

October 12, 2010

This is all fine for what it is worth. But what interests me more is that this tweet contradicts his own campaign focus and reveals the fundamental flaws of a liberal democrat like Paul Hodes. These are not the words of any fiscal conservative I know.

Ovide at American Thinker

October 5, 2010

At this critical time, we must subordinate our personal self-interest to that of the greater good, which is to restore the power of people over government, to break the stranglehold of the special interests and the entitlement class over Congress, and to devolve power from Washington back to the states and the people. The unprincipled, self-serving actions of Murkowski and Crist threaten these important goals, and they must be rejected by Republican leaders and activists everywhere.
