This editorial in the Concord Monitor has New Hampshire’s anti-emergency-order activists applauding. But if anyone thinks Democrats are looking to put a dent in executive power or its abuse, I think they are mistaken.
Democrats didn’t do so well at the state level in New Hampshire. At the tip of that spear was Republican incumbent Governor Chris Sununu. He beat his Democrat challenger, Dan Feltes, 66.2% to 33.7%. That’s a flogging, and it’s bad, but it’s actually must worse than that.
To be clear, there will be no punishment, but this. Eyewitness accounts from Ward 3 in Nahua. Dan Feltespictured with Bette Lasky. Greeting voters in line to vote within 100 feet of the polling place entrance (not social distancing!).
That Dan Feltes has been a lawyer and legislator with little executive or managerial experience is relevant to his candidacy for Governor of New Hampshire. But there are other considerations regarding higher office aspirations—like character.
Remember back when Ted Cruz was persona non grata among his fellow Republican Senators because he had convinced House Republicans to defund Obamacare, which led to a government shutdown … how his critics kept saying that Cruz had led Republicans into a political “box canyon”? Well … I don’t know if that really was so … Read more
Democrat Dan Feltes says that when he is governor, he will do something historic. Resign? Sadly, no though, he may not beat Comrade Volinsky in the Primary. If he does, it is doubtful he can defeat Chris Sununu in the general, but should he pull it off, he intends to do this.
HB712 is the Paid Family Medical Leave Act that is a Democrat agenda item. Another camel’s nose under the “Let’s Enlarge Government AGAIN!” tent. I’m glad to see that Gov. Sununu vetoed it. But this caught my eye in the Union Leader piece about it on Friday.
NH Democrat State Senator Dan Feltes is running for Governor of…New Jersey. Well, you’d be right to wonder. He just posted a status update to Facebook saying that Gov. Chris Christie should raise the minimum unemployment benefit.
If Dan Feltes (whom I often refer to as #FlatulentFeltes for all the gassy political air he discharges) is not New Hampshire’s most brazen political hypocrite, he has to be in the top five. Consider this: Just a few days later, we learned about Rep. Tamara Le’s “F*ck private and religious schools” Facebook post: And … Read more
The biomass “subsidy by govt induced higher electrical rates” issue just won’t go away. The Union Leader has yet another piece lamenting that companies aren’t getting corporate welfare. Landowners are angry that the government won’t help their profits or politics for a new protected class (“unemployed biomass workers”).
Democrat Dan Feltes is fundraising off false fear. In his latest email titled, “Friends, we are facing a global crisis,” he warns that the world is in danger from Climate Change.
Governor Sununu vetoed the New Hampshire Democrat’s awful, terrible, irresponsible budget. He had several reasons, but one of the biggest and best was that it raises taxes on job creators.
Chris Sununu supports some sort of legisaltive action on the issue-du-jour of Paid Family Leave. On this, we disagree. And we couldn’t disagree if he wasn’t trying, which he is. Which means Democrat Sen. Dan Feltes claims Sununu lied – is a lie.
The New Hampshire State Budget is a big fat, bloated pig. The Democrats gave the state a 16.8% raise by proposing $418,000,000.00 (million dollars) in new taxes.
NH State Senator Dan Felts refuses to admit that his mandatory Paid Family Medical Leave act which will apply a 0.5% tax on a worker’s income, is just that – an income tax. And sooo…. The advertisement highlights Senate Majority Leader Dan Feltes’ fervent support for the creation a mandatory income tax, hidden under the … Read more
This: To begin with, if you are serious about working with the Governor to fight coronavirus, you give him more than 30 seconds to respond before you post your letter to twitter. Although I wouldn’t put it past #DirtyDanny … or #FlatulentFeltes if you prefer … to have tweeted before he even sent the letter … Read more
Steve already posted about this HERE. But I have a few things I want to say about it, so better late than never. The most important aspect of our system of government in terms of keeping government in check and thereby keeping us free is the separation of powers. The framers of our State and … Read more
Every election cycle, the earliest reliable poll results come from northern New Hampshire. These towns have a long tradition of voting in person, right after midnight. Dixville Notch with 5 registered votes is reliably blue, but this year President Trump managed to win the majority in another town.
So if you follow Steve … which you should … you know that the Back Lives Matter chapters in Manchester and Nashua have presented the gubernatorial candidates a list of “demands.” I am going to reproduce the list here, for your ease of reference: Both Democrat candidates have agreed to the “demands”: But just what … Read more
Whoops! Senator Dan Feltes’ campaign has been running ads with blatant lies…. and NHPR caught him in the act! NHPR: Feltes Says He’s Not Taking ‘Corporate Contributions,’ But Records Show Otherwise Senator Dan Feltes, a gubernatorial hopeful, has been running ads railing against PAC and LLC donations. The trouble is, he’s been taking them himself … Read more
