Of course you do. I have family members who plan to vote for him. So? So email the following article to them, each and every one. I just did.
Ask A New Hampshire Democrat About Taxing The Rich
The distance between left wing rhetoric and reality is wide, particularly on the issue of taxing the rich. This classic bit of class war rhetoric is used to deflect any deeper inspection of the problem, and the flaws in the Democrat’s solution. And the flaws are huge. Immense. Enormous. Disqualifying in fact. So ask a New Hampshire Democrat about taxing the rich.
Obama Admin Shoots First and Aims Later…[UPDATE and bumped]
[UPDATE: Talk about shooting first and aiming later. Every White House claim was wrong. From the Weekly Standard:
For nine days, the Obama administration made a case that virtually everyone understood was untrue: that the killing of our ambassador and three other Americans in Benghazi, Libya, was a random, spontaneous act of individuals upset about an online video—an unpredictable attack on a well-protected compound that had nothing do to with the eleventh anniversary of 9/11.
These claims were wrong. Every one of them. But the White House pushed them hard. ]
In yet another episode, Sheriff, and town prevaricator, B. H. Obama mistakenly rebukes his rascally rival Romney for acts unbecoming a gentleman, only to find that it is his own deputies that are the quick draw charlatans.
B.H. Obama said last week that Romney, “seems to have a tendency to shoot first and aim later.” He continued, “It’s important for you to make sure that the statements that you make are backed up by the facts. And that you’ve thought through the ramifications before you make ‘em.”
Good advice, Sheriff. Though you might want to share that with members of your staff posse. On a previous episode, your Press Secretary, Calamity Carney, was shooting wildly from the podium and not hitting a lick of truth.
Well the adventures continue…
Notable Quote: On Powers Delegated from the Legislature to the Administrator
What is often called “delegation of lawmaking power” is often delegation of the authority to give to any decision the force of law, so that, like an act of the legislature, it must be unquestioningly accepted by the courts. This brings us to what in modern times has become the crucial issue, namely the legal … Read more
A reply to a commenter on Steve’s “About All that Ron Paul business…”
which can be found here concerning the RNC, delegates, Ron Paul speaking / not speaking, nomination, and the like. His problem was not with Ron Paul but with his supporters. I concur (having had to deal with nastiness of some even back in 2008). So he (and I) expected some commenters in opposition and our expectations were met.
Given the set up here at the ‘Grok, I also get notification (and have to approve / disapprove) of comments inbound on all the posts. Given that Steve’s post was almost a month old, when a comment by RageFury came in today, I spent the time reading that long comment in which much time had to have been spent. But one line:
“I previously thought you guys were better than this…”
caught my eye and of course I had to answer:
“nor will I vote for Obama who only gets a potential 4 more years of horrible country crushing policy” and ” I previously thought you guys were better than this.”
To the former – to use that old phrase: “You ain’t see nothing yet!” Obama has figured out that with the Senate locked up by Reid, and the House Rs cowering behind the idea that they’d be responsible for a shutdown if they even thought about growing a spine, Obama has become enamored with doing what he wants without Congress – an FDR on steroids by issuing declaration upon decree. He has become addicted to being a dictator – he knows that he can do what ever he wants NOW and when the Courts nullify a Dept decree, the Secretary of the Dept just uses another way to do it all again (e.g., Salazar in stopping drilling in the Gulf, the NLRB’s actions, and the FCC at doing Net Neutrality by other means, just to name three). Recent History is very much predictive of what he will do the next four – only much faster, much bigger and FAR more Liberty destroying than this first term. You think he’s packed on the Debt thus far? His next target, already under attack, is Liberty and Freedom and he is well on the way to destroying that.
And you, RageFury, among others that will not pull the lever for Obama’s enemy…
Sometimes, it is just about the beauty

Blogline of the Day – on Charity
Steve has the info on Romney’s tax returns – consistently outgiving, percentage-wise those that have been yammering for his returns to be made public. From Instapundit, reflecting on the ReProgressive definition of Charitable giving: “If you really care, you don’t give money yourself. You get the government to force other people to give. That’s what … Read more
Remembering Democrat Rule – “Look To The Sky…”
“Look to the sky when you do revenue estimates because we need the money.”
-Marjorie Smith (D- Durham) Chair House Finance Committee 2007
One month after the supposed start of the ‘Great Recession™’ and just a few months after New Hampshire Democrats historic spending spree, a partisan vote of the General Court’s Joint Facilities Committee increased pay and benefits for 145 members of the legislative staff. The hike added almost a million dollars on the backs of taxpayers at the beginning of an economic downturn. More spending without concern for how we’d pay for it. A trend New Hampshire Democrats would continue into the next session. An attitude Marjorie Smith (D- Durham), the chair of the House finance committee, would frame with the words “Look to they sky when you do revenue because we need the money.”
Hang on a moment while I add a line to my check register that says I made an extra million dollars this year. Oh look, time to go shopping! Shall we proceed?

Seeing The Global Warming Forest For the Trees
I like to pick on Senator Jeanne Shaheen because she is a left-wing hack, particularly when it comes to Global War-ming. Today’s installment takes us back to her 2008 Senate race during which she claimed, and I quote…(long since scrubbed from her Senate campaign site…)
REVERSE GLOBAL WARMING
Reversing global warming is an economic, environmental and health imperative for New Hampshire. If we don’t act to reverse global warming, New Hampshire’s snow season is projected to shrink by almost 50 percent by mid-century, severely impacting our skiing and snowmobile industries. Increasing temperatures also will negatively impact fall foliage tourism, the hunting and fishing industries, and maple sugar production
Since Greene Shaheen spoke these prognostications, we have had years with record snowfalls, years with record maple syrup production, and as this year comes to a close–one that has already been called one of the hottest years in US history–the NH Tourism industry has some frightening news for us.
My Guess Was Romney With Around 340 Electoral Votes
Two Professors from the University of Colorado have a model for determining who will win the White House. They’ve been right every year since 1980. In 2012 they predict that Mitt Romney will win 320 Electoral votes to Barack Obama’s 218. Romney, it concluded, will win every state currently considered by pollsters to be a … Read more
Not My Flag…
This week, Barack Obama’s campaign put out a new version of the American flag: Obama’s version.
The blue field, with stars, is replaced by the Obama campaign logo and it has the wrong number of red and white stripes (has 9 but should have 13).
First, it appears that this misuse of the American flag icon and motif violates US Code Title 4, Chapter 1, Section 3, which states:
“Any person who, within the District of Columbia, in any manner, for exhibition or display, shall place or cause to be placed any word, figure, mark, picture, design, drawing, or any advertisement of any nature upon any flag, standard, colors, or ensign of the United States of America; or shall expose or cause to be exposed to public view any such flag, standard, colors, or ensign upon which shall have been printed, painted, or otherwise placed, or to which shall be attached, appended, affixed, or annexed any word, figure, mark, picture, design, or drawing, or any advertisement of any nature;”
But let’s focus on the important issue here…
Environmentalists who love crony capitalism
Because they can’t stand seeing their fellow citizens ignoring their bleats of “You shouldn’t do that” in some cases (like, you know, use electricity to live a modern lifestyle, or be allowed to drive a car that can, like, you know, can actually hold all of your family members and the grocery bags needed to feed them for a week – in 1 trip). So, they’ve convinced elected politicians (or increasingly, the unelected bureaucrats that doing the pols’ job). They certainly are in favor in taking away choice in little ways as in what kind of light bulbs you may purchase.
And when it comes to industries they like, like all things green, they are bound and determined not to let “green go dark” simply because the Free Market hates their ideas. From that ever amusing, ever complaining, bastion of Watermelon Environmentalism (otherwise known as TreeHugger), the denizens are complaining about the Federal Venture Capital spigot being turned off (gee, and I thought ALL forms of conservation was good – including conserving our tax dollars!).
Obama Asked How To Get A Job By College Student, He Nervously Giggles and Says Go To College!?
A college student asked President Jobless about finding a job in the United States. After his mawkishly glib attempt at easing the tension with a joke punctuated by nervous laughter, he replied and said the economy’s been tough the last for years and followed that with, “the most important thing you can do… is to … Read more
The most important lesson I’ve learned is you can’t change Washington from the inside.”
Well then get out. I know some people who will help you, Mr. President. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=qi2HSk7csJs
There is a difference between the Free Market and the Government Market
And TreeHugger decided to demonstrate that, with clueless irony, all on their own. Yes, one more from TreeHugger that shows that Environmentalism has really left its roots of DOING environmental work and very much all about getting Big Government and its big teat (and very much, dependent on that teat) to do it instead as well as forcing lifestyle changes upon people that otherwise would not. This time, trying to go all yammering that Republicans not supporting Govt supported jobs is hypocritical and ignoring the foundation of their illogic:
Siemens Lays Off 38% of US Workforce – Cites Lack of Wind Power Support Romney Favors
That wind power jobs and installations in the US rise and fall in line with federal tax policy for the renewable energy source is solidly established,…
You’d think after decades of watching the “ups and downs”, and being tax experts (as all Big Multinationals are), some would learn to not play the game. Problem is, profits are to be made when the Government either directly or indirectly manages a marketplace via tax policy. And the writer of the post is surprised at this? Mere youngster that thinks history starts with his birth. However, he yammers onward:
And if you give Obama 4 more years of Government Markets…

This seems about right – but he’s WAY too polite
‘Grok friend Chan over at Weekend Pundit has a quick succinct summary of Barack Hussein Obama’s 4 years: Despite the water-carrying the MSM is doing for Obama, the narrative has been shifting from Romney’s perceived ‘deficiencies’ to Obama’s failures, both foreign and domestic. His Middle East foreign policy has been shown to be a disaster … Read more
Despite Laws, Londonderry Council Postures Against LFGC
“”My door is always open-bring me your problems.” This is guaranteed to turn on every whiner, lackey and neurotic on the property.” —Robert F. Six
Demagoguery. Town officials told the Derry News that Town officials, police officials, Fish and Game Club members, and the public will be invited to a demonstration at the shooting range, to determine the effects that gunfire has on residents and golfers.
That has to be about the dumbest thing I have ever read. The obvious target are two ranges in question: The Londonderry Police Range, constructed in 2008; and the Londonderry Fish & Game Club Ranges, in existence for over 40 years.
All of this hullabaloo over range noise and never once has the ongoing conversation taken into account the miles of power line corridors frequently used for all sorts of activities such as OHRV use, Hiking, Hunting and yes, target shooting. Moreover, the 900-acre parcel also known as the Musquash Conservation Land, is frequented by those desiring to shoot.
