A View From The Progressive Wilderness?

by Steve MacDonald

Where Are We?Ray Buckley thinks the massive GOP majority will overreach, allowing them (democrats) to win some seats in the next election.  But what does that mean and in what context?  The voters just took a long hard look at his party and it’s priorities and kicked them to the curb..that’s right…like a two dollar whore.  Ray gets credit for losing 124 more House seats, 9 more state Senate seats, and the entire executive council.  So out of 430 seats in Concord, the Buckleycrats now hold 25% of them.

Seems to me Ray should be accusing the voters of overreach, and that’s probably what he’s doing.  But a 75% Majority of State government sends a message about someones agenda, even when that message is delivered to democrats. It’s, what’s the word, a referendum.

Or if referendum isn’t telling enough, how about this. The Granite State has just performed a late term abortion on the New Hampshire Democrat agenda…without their consent.  Talk about pro-choice and civil rights.

So Ray is just playing the odds here.  The likelihood of the left making even small gains given these majorities is probably a given, but they wouldn’t be a result of overreach, it would simply be statistics.  Not that the Dems won’t try to sell it that way.   What could the GOP do that the fringe left, Buckley wing of the NHDP would not view as overreach?
