Ask A NH Democrat…About Racism

by Steve MacDonald

I bet you a majority of the Democrats in New Hampshire watch MSNBC.  So the next time you see one ask them if this is racist? In lieu of airing speeches from former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis, a black American; Mia Love, a black candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from Utah; and Texas senatorial hopeful … Read more

Government Motors To Idle Volt Plant

by Steve MacDonald

GM will halt production on the Chevy Volt for a month, idling the plant from September 17th to Octber 15th, according to USA Today.  No one is willing to speculate on why, but I think I can clear it up. The car is a piece of crap. It costs too much.  It doesn’t deliver on … Read more

Obama Tribute to Neil Armstrong…Is About Obama

Courtesy of the Daily Caller…looks like Team Obama found a use for this stock photo from four month ago.  (The quote underneath it might be new.)  Yes, let us remember Neil Armstrong with..a picture of Mr. Obama. I wonder what he’s thinking about?  Maybe how NASA’s division of Muslim Outreach is doing or if they … Read more

Pledge Zombie Apocalypse

by Steve MacDonald

Taxes and Democrats The pledge politics lie and broad based taxesDemocrat Candidate Jackie Cilley is trying to rally the extreme left of the already extreme left in the New Hampshire Democrat party by pretending to be a moderating voice for tax policy.  Her distinction without a difference (other than that she is being direct about her desire for a broad based tax) is that the idea of taking a pledge to veto (or vote against) any sales or income tax is unfair.  That every option should be on the table.

As pointed out here, this is extremely disingenuous because this is the only policy in which she or any of her supporters (or any Democrat) wants to “have a conversation.”  But it is worse than even that.  The facts behind the pledge zombie antics on the lefts left are, as in most cases when dealing with Democrats, lying by omission.

Kill Mitt Romney…The Facebook Page

Joshua Scott Albert must be pining for some attention.  He just put up a Kill Mitt Romney Facebook Page. Albert is known for putting up pages in support of cop killers, and otherwise pretending to be ‘edgy’ under the guise of getting peoples attention. I’m a big fan of edgy, and pushing the envelope, but … Read more

You’re Messin’ With The Wrong People

by Steve MacDonald

Democrats are not just hypocrites they are violent ones.  They excuse themselves from the rule of law and the rule of decency, any rule at all actually, if it in any way obstructs their blind pursuit of political power, or the advancement of their extremist agenda. Today’s lesson comes from  Massachusetts where Democrat (and candidate … Read more

“Republican” Woman in Obama Ad…Has been a Democrat Since at Least 2006

by Steve MacDonald

Obama Inc. has an Ad out in which ‘Republican Women’ tells us they were Republican but now voting for Barack Obama instead of Mitt Romeny.  Why?  Because they have a pile of War on Women meme’s to prop up. Well at least one of these “Republican Women” (Maria Ciano) is probably voting for Obama because … Read more

Just a Theory…

by Steve MacDonald

I think Iran and Egypt are co-coordinating a response to the impending Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear capability.

The expectation is that Israel will do something before the November elections.  Egypt, which is now engaging in diplomatic exchanges with Iran, has recently moved more military hardware into the Sinai peninsula to deal with militants and security issues.  There are probably plenty of those, and by all accounts, Israel is not balking at allowing Egypt to deal with those (per long standing peace treaty agreements), but there is the matter of Egyptian tanks that were moved into the region, which Israeli officials claim they did not know about in advance.

The University of Virginia has declined a campaign visit from Barack Obama, who is looking for a venue from which to promote his re-election bid for President of the United States.

Did Maggie Cilley Ever Denounce Bill Clinton? (Video Added)

Maggie Hassan, the actual object of the endorsement, stood on stage next to the accused rapist, as have almost every New Hampshire Democrat … Read more

Obama’s Abortion Jobs Economy

Obama's Abortion Jobs Economy
When You Make A "Mistake"...We've Got You Covered

I think I have finally figured it out.  All this emphasis by Democrats on abortion?  I think we’re in for a tectonic shift in left wing economic policy.  Starting with the upcoming Democrat National Convention, the new savior for a lagging economy with 16 trillion in debt, employment erosion, a flagging GDP, and more government created debt bubbles (not to mention the trillions more in entitlement debt and the likley collapse of Medicare and social security) is…the Abortion Jobs Economy.

That’s right.  Abortion jobs will save America.

Anyone Dissapointed That Annie Kuster Didn’t Ask Maggie Hassan to Drop Out?

by Steve MacDonald
Ann McLane Kuster - Supported by Anti-Israel J Street

It didn’t take long.  Congressional candidate Ann McLane Kuster (I call her McKluster) expressed her disappointment at Charlie Bass for having better things to do than jump in to the circular firing squad against Todd Aikn, of Missouri.

“In New Hampshire, Annie Kuster rapped one of Democrats’ top targets, GOP Rep. Charlie Bass, saying she was ‘‘disappointed’’ Bass hadn’t yet called for Akin to leave the Senate race.”

Like most desperate Democrats with no coat tails to ride in on, McKluster took out the rhetorical bat against her Republican opponent, Charlie Bass.  It is, after all, his responsibility as a congressman to denounce everything any other Republican does (or says, or can be said to be thinking…).   So by extension, where is it I can find candidate McKlusters call for Maggie Hassan to drop out of the Governors Race.

SEIU Tells You Which Republicans You Should Avoid…by Endorsing them.

by Steve MacDonald
Unions - Proud Owners Of The Democrat Party
Unions - Proud Owners Of The Democrat Party

 The SEIU has just informed Republicans who NOT to vote for.  For this, we are thankful.

The SEIU (SEA-NH), Obama’s shock troops, the same folks who beat up black conservatives ( or refuse to denounce such behavior), have endorsed the following “(r)epublicans” in New Hampshire.

In Belknap District 8, SEA/SEIU has endorsed Rep. Peter Bolster (R), of Alton.  Bolster is train wreck.  He barely votes with his own party half the time.  If you want a Republican you should be voting  for Jane Cormier, to get Bolster out of the House and with any luck, out of our Party.

The Obama Campaign Cat Burgler Pays Another Visit To New Hampshire Tax Payers

by Steve MacDonald

Obama campaign steals local tax dollars to pay for campaign visitsAmericans for Prosperity has some details about the cost to local towns of the most recent incursion of the Obama campaign.  Candidate Obama visited New Hampshire—in the capacity of a candidate–to reinfect the local Obama Zombie population with a fresh batch of socialist Rage Virus.  Wouldn’t want them to lose that lovin’ hope-changey, “beat Republicans with a bat,” kind of union thugocracy feeling.

As with previous candidate visits, local towns have been forced to cover any extra costs resulting from the candidates court passing through their local municipalities, even when anonymous donors rise up from the Zombie herd to make an unofficial campaign donation to cover the costs.  So how much did it cost this time around (seeing as there are no anonymous donors this time around)?

Coos County Democrats…

by Steve MacDonald

…might want to update their web site. The elected candidates page lists their US Senators as Jeanne Shaheen and Judd Gregg. That’s a bit out of date, unless you just want to wait until we kick Shaheen out of office and you can change them both at the same time. Just trying to be helpful.

Return to the 2008 Obama Campaign Strategy (Updated and Bumped-Link Added)

by Steve MacDonald

Obama still voting present - on answering tough questions(Link Added- Controlling the Message: None of that random messaging that might embarrass us.)

In 2008 the Obama Campaign hid or at least disguised his lack of experience or skill by controlling the message.  He did lofty speeches, and some softball interviews in the safest of places and conditions, but anything about policy–what there was of it–was recorded in a controlled environment, by Obama or a policy advocate, and posted on line.  When reporters had questions, they were directed to the appropriate video, or speech, which allowed the campaign to control the message.

The media was too in love with the cult of personality to dig any deeper than what the campaign-spin spoon fed them and the end result was the least experienced and least qualified president in American history…a guy who is good at running for office but not good at holding office.
