Entitlement Nation? Deadbeat Attitude Begins at the Top

We first became aware of the extent of the Obama campaign’s freeloading when the Town of Durham, NH, objected to the police overtime and other costs that the Presidential (campaign) visit would incur.

Let’s Play Spot The Socialist Dullard

New Hampshire has it’s share of obvious Socialist thieves.  Democrat candidate William ‘Hud’ Connery is an admitted socialist.  Folks like Catholic Socialist Peter ‘Can’t wait to get Connery on the team’ Sullivan, are a half-shade less obvious; Sullivan is an anti tax pledge guy as well and a supporter of Jackie ‘Tax and Spend us” …

Might be my Favorite Post of the Day: a whole hearted, robust defense of the Second Amendment from a Congressional Candidate

And that would be Rick Parent from Wolfeboro, NH who is running for US Congress in NH’s First Congressional District: This was not a random meeting at some sandpit – this was one of the shooting ranges at the Londonderry Fish and Game Club where the Smart Girl Politics / NH Armed and Fabulous event …

GrokTV Special Interview: Susan Olsen,NH House Candidate (Merrimack-7) – Question 5: Make NH State agencies more responsible to citizens?

How many State Representatives talk about “reforming government” (as opposed to Obama, with his Pack of Regressive Progressives, which to “reform” us) – and the look in their eye says “and more than with lip service??  I got that opinion from Susan Olsen as she kicks off her run to get into the NH State …
