We have another special election next Tuesday, this one in Hillsborough District three, and if you let the Democrat win you might want to know who you are sending to Concord.
The Democrat is Peter Leishman. Leishman got flushed out of office in November 2010 but he’s hoping he can float back up if you are not looking. Do yourself a favor and hit the flush handle again because he is the same train wreck I described back in July of 2009…
Lieshman just happens to be a rank-and-file House Democrat who is against your parental rights, voted in favor of the bathroom bill (twice), and voted to increase the budget by about one billion dollars during a recession… He’s a veteran state Democrat, and he’s into statewide fiscal abuse, and he has no problem with letting sexually confused men share your daughters personal space.
Leishman embraces the lefts genderless society regardless of risk, he voted against repealing the house weapons ban, against allowing spending caps and local control of spending, then Rep Leishman voted for the Tent Tax. He’s also implicated in insider, crony corruption, to go along with it. He was accused of using his position in the House, knowing he was part of the relevant committee, to propose a bill whose passage would favor his own personal business interests.
Leishman’s business is the Milford-Bennington Railroad and he stood to benefit from legislation he proposed, would have had influence on how it came out of committee, and given the Democrat majority at the time, could have been passed into law. Naturally, as was the custom during New Hampshire’s Democrat Experiment, the accusations were not pursued with any vigor. Leishman got off with a warning letter.
Typical of the left. If he were a Republican they’d have gone full court media press and tried to run him out on a rail (road). Instead he gets a letter which only means next time don’t be so damn obvious about abusing your office.
We have no reason to believe that Mr. Leishman would conduct himself any differently were he permitted back into the New Hampshire House. His legislative history demonstrates that he is of the government first mind set, where growth of the state apparatus and internal crony mechanics are better equipped to make decisions for individuals, to define how much of our own money we are entitled to and how that money should be spent, what our morality means, and to favor a small number of the well connected insiders who are certain they have all the correct answers.
Not much different from Barack Obama.
