Elect Equality

Ray has apparently been asking the local democrat population to cast their votes for Paul and Carol and I say knock yourself out, as long as you are OK with taking more out of state money from major unions that use intimidation to stifle free speech (wow that sounds familiar), and beat up innocnet black men who disagree with them. I think that makes the SEIU a bunch of hate mongering racists, but I’ll have to check my Race Pimps and Grievance-Mongers to American English Dictionary (Fifth Column….I mean edition) to be certain.

Chilling

Anyone who doubts Kathy "Lawsuit" Sullivan intentions while crafting a speech intimidation amendment with Maggie ‘The Red’ Hassan will find these words suitably chilling.   The reason the Manchester School board gave Grace Sullivan (Kathy’s sister) a $253,000.00 severance and her old job back? Democratic Party Chairman Kathy Sullivan, alleges that there were grounds to sue because Republican … Read more

Show Me The Money

The New Hampshire Democrat party is excited about all the female candidates they are fielding. Ray Buckley would like you to think that this is some kind of equal opportunity thing, or that he thinks his party gets an electoral advantage of some kind but it’s really all about money.

Why The Stimulus Had To Fail

It’s simple economics.  Government money comes from taxpayers.  The more government spends the more it relies on taxpayers to pay for its spending.  The less money taxpayers have the smaller the economy will be the fewer jobs there are, which means less income, less taxes, more debt.  The stimulus, the huge budget bills, the massive … Read more

Bomb-Bomb-Bomb…Bomb-Bomb IRAN

“The Saudis have given their permission for the Israelis to pass over and they will look the other way,” said a US defence source in the area. “They have already done tests to make sure their own jets aren’t scrambled and no one gets shot down. This has all been done with the agreement of the [US] State Department.”

No 3% Solution In Hillsborough

When it becomes evident that they have exceeded our mandate or entered into agreements which have or will become fiscally untenable, the officials charged with representing the taxpayers interest must endeavor to introduce savings and efficiencies that limit the fiscal impact of those tasks before they overcome the ability of reasonable men and women to sustain them.

The RINO Bonnie Newman

She (Bonnie Newman) supports John Lynch which means she stands for abortion, debt, deficits, bonding, taxes without hearings, gay marriage, broad based shadow taxes, left wing special interests, she’s against parent’s rights, won’t defend free speech, encourages irresponsible revenue projections to hide out of control spending, and backs the partisan hypocrisy on influence from out of state money.

Obama Micro-Historian

Courtesy of Politico via NH Watchdog-apparently Mr. Obama is now blaming people for things that never happened in the past that he never even suggested.  In an interview with Politico, the president said: “I think it’s fair to say, if six months ago, before this spill had happened, I had gone up to Congress and … Read more

One Hell Of A Wild Ride

There is always speculation about the state of the economy and plenty of people–mostly middle left–have looked at the goat entrails and pronounced a recovery underway if for no other reason than that they want to.   More than a few folks disagree, and it is fair to say that to some small degree the  opinion is … Read more

Redress of Grievances

Skip wrote a post here rearding Obama’s ‘Kick Ass’ moment.  As I began typing my ‘comment’ it began to grow into something to long for the format.  So here it is. I’d sum it up (Obama’s attitude problem as Skip presents it) as an inversion of the first amendment right to redress of grievances.  Obama feels … Read more

New Hampshire Needs To Go Into Rehab

“…state governments learn to rely to much on federal handouts as well. New Hampshire democrats just “balanced” the state budget with more debt and millions in federal money that’s not even there. So now they’ll have to get someone to put it back or their budget will not be “in balance,” like some crack whore begging for another hit.”

Leaving The Scene Of The Crime

Departures from public service are not uncommon.  But how you depart says a lot about who you think you are and what you’ve really accomplished.  Take Kathy Sgambati for example.  She’s leaving the State Senate after only two terms, a paltry four years, but if you read her departure rhetoric it sounds as if she … Read more

A Smudge On The “Teflon” John

Mr. Lynch also wants’ you to assure you that NOM’s out of state influence should not be taken seriously. He is just concerned about out of state money affecting local politics. But what he’d rather you not discuss is how much out of state money he’s been using for political speech to keep himself ensconced in the governor’s office up in Concord.

What To Think Not How To Think

One of my prevailing issues with public education is its evolution away from critical thinking.  Agenda driving curricula and the pervasive left wing university bias that churns out public school teachers has created generations of educators who are just as biased (if not more so) than their counter-parts from the media and journalism schools. Case in point: Global Warming. Attached … Read more

Dr. (And Mrs. Dr.) Beer Party

Add this to the so smart they are stupid roll-call.  Two members of Harvard Faculty, that’s Haaahvaahd, both employed at the School of medicine, hosted a graduation party in Weare at which 70 teenagers were arrested for underage drinking.  J.Wesley and Theonia Boyd, according to the Union Leader, were charged with facilitating an underage drinking … Read more

Another Obama Jobs Program

Obama has apparently banned deep water drilling in the Gulf. Well c’mon, what did you expect. Millions of barrels spewing into the water and oil went down in price? Who cares if thousands more people are now out of work. This is about the agenda damn it. Besides they are probably all a bunch of God fearing, gun clinging republicans anyway.

Connolly’s Not In The Clique?

Mark Connolly may not be challenging Paul Hodes for the Democrat nomination for the US Senate after all.  No, I don’t think Obama offered him a job. (They’d probably offer Hodes a job to let someone else run if he wasn’t already a connected insider)  Actually I suspect the State Party put its jackboot on … Read more

Soft Underbelly

  NH House Rep Kris E Roberts, in a comment made over on the Marchand Group web site (a democrat campaign and advocacy consulting group) we see evidence of what I’ve suggested all along; that a vote for any democrat is a vote for the leadership’s agenda and little else.  Kris is commenting at the … Read more
