The Title WMUR ran with was “Granite Staters unhappy with failure of gun background check bill.”  Were they?

A new poll shows almost half of Granite Staters think gun laws should be stricter, and a majority were angry or dissatisfied that an effort to expand background checks failed.

The WMUR Granite State Poll shows that 46 percent of those surveyed believe gun laws should be stricter, while 14 percent said they should be less strict. Another 37 percent thought they should remain about the same.

Yes, yes, we know the left promised good jobs with living wages for American families.  The left promised us we’d be under boiling seas as well–didn’t stop the limousine liberals from owning or spending slivers of their fortunes on beachfront property.  Obama Care was filled with more progressive promises than you can shake a multi-thousand page bill at (or a stick if you prefer) but most of those chickens came home to the roost to find they might lose their doctor, their carrier, maybe even their full time job, and that meant kissing the nest egg good bye to pay the higher cost of premiums the Democrats promised us would go down.

What can I say besides we told you so.  We elected a part-time president (twice) who is a full time progressive that spends most of his time either campaigning for the job he already has or promoting the lies that are all too real to jobless American families living off empty promises.

The most recent mouthful of that never-so-tasty reality sandwich is that the full-time progressive part-time President is now the overseer of part-time nation.

Organizing for A-Holes (OFA)  scheduled an anti ‘gun-violence’ rally in Nashua, New Hampshire yesterday.  It was likely orchestrated by one of our OFA helicopter voters, Katrina Lipinski De Orlov–she’s from New York (where she and her sister were on the rescue squad) don’t you know, and came here to organize for Obama in Merrimack–where she voted from a condo in 2012.

She has since devoted herself to OFA’s latest out-of-state funded anti-self-defense campaign, likely working with out-of-state funded friends at Progress Now, the Bloomberg bus (also out of state funded) and the State Democrat party; Harrell (Jersey Shore) Kirstein is OFA-New Hampshire’s press flack as well as being a state party flack.   The NHDP and chairman Buckley are happily coordinating with these groups to advance the shared agenda to claim some semblance of plausible deniability as with the Bloomberg bus; they said they were not part of that but we have proven that they are all tied together.

(Harrell, also has connections to another recently revealed DC mobile domicile NH vote and run Democrat- Katie O’Neill.)

So about that ‘rally?’

Search GraniteGrok for “Tobacco” or “Tobacco Tax ” or “Cigarette Tax” and you’ll find reams of links and data that demonstrate why raising the tax in New Hampshire won’t do any of the things claimed and how leaving it alone or lowering might be a better idea.

Add this Report to that...  “Tobacco Taxes Don’t Fix Fiscal Problems.”

What they actually do is lead to more taxes.  Between 2001 and 2011, 67% of tobacco tax increases were followed by other tax increases.  In 70% of the cases the increases failed to produce the promised revenue.

If that’s not bad enough, check this out.

As an occasional listener– no liberal drones I do not “get my marching orders from Rush Limbaugh,” or Fox News; that’s how you guys operate, not us–I was aware that the milestone was coming but now it’s here.  Starting in August, 1987 Rush began what became and is currently the most listened to Radio program in America; much to the continued anger and dismay of liberals.   The mere mention of his name is like sunlight on the classic vampire.  It burns!

With that in mind, Limbaugh had this to say about Liberals.

You can’t tell me that progressivim is not a mental condition that creates obsessive compulsive tendencies?  They are children who must have “that toy” and they will not take no for an answer.  Their toys are people’s lives, their culture, their ideas, and they live to destroy them and replace them with their own.

Virus.  That is what progressivism and liberalism are.  A virus.

And the liberal establishment media is so possessed of this man that a routine 5 minute traffic stop is…International News. (And he has a Gun!)  If someone catches him leaving a restroom without washing his hands it might be the lead on MSNBC for days.  Obsessive, compulsive, destructive.

New Hampshire House Rep Brenda Grady (D- Merrimack) has proven herself to be exactly what I claimed she and her husband were (he did not win office) before the election last November; mules for the state Democrat Party’s partisan agenda.

While the Grady’s tried to style themselves as less partisan, moderate candidates, who would work against gridlock (there wasn’t any), downshifting costs (hadn’t happened since Democrats last held the majority), and being more responsive to constituents–with a dash of the bring civility back to Concord narrative the whole Democrat party was binging on (though Democrats were more often making things uncivil) , the reality with regard to the kind of elected official Brenda Grady has turned out to be can summed up with two facts.

Katherine O’Neill is a Jersey Girl and sometime Senate Staffer currently in the employ, according to Legistorm.com, of US Senator Ben Cardin (D-Maryland), which appears to be confirmed by her LinkedIn page: Current  US Senate.   Ms. O’Neill has worked in the Senate as a staffer previously, in both 2009 and 2010.

She was, (is?) also in the employ of OFA, and came to the Granite state where she claimed residence at 107 Penacook Street in Concord, New Hampshire, voted Democrat, and then left the state to return to DC.  She was a professional campaigner, connected to the DC political machine of Barack Obama, who never had any commitment to New Hampshire beyond stuffing the ballot box with another liberal vote, then left.

So who actually lives at 107 Penacook Street in Concord, NH?
