After Victoria had filed her candidacy paperwork at Manchester City Hall (“FIX THE CLOCK!“) and had addressed her supporters, I was able to get a bit of an interview with her. Go with me here – a bit of “non-interview” at first but I think it adds a bit as to her character.
Notable Quote – Frédéric Bastiat
Emphasis mine: As far as I am concerned, I wish to choose for myself and do not want anyone else to make choices on my behalf, against my will that is all. And if someone claims the right to substitute his judgment for mine in matters that concern me, I will ask to substitute mine … Read more
Governor Sununu Protects Taxpayers By Vetoing State Budget
by Grover Norquist | Democrat Budget Would Have Raised Taxes on Businesses and Vapers. New Hampshire has long been thought of as a low tax state, governed frugally and therefore a strong competitor among the 50 states to attract job-creating investment, talent, and young families.

ICYMI – “I was Sexually Assaulted by Bill Clinton”
Not me personally, though the way Democrat women dismiss (and mistreat) WJ Clinton’s accusers is a form of assault. No, I am referring to Leslie Millwee who, in 1980, was an attractive young 20-year old TV reporter in Arkansas. Bill Clinton was the Governor. Guess what happens next?

The Left’s Get Money Out of Politics Lie – A Primer, or Perhaps Just a Reminder.
Hillary Clinton’s campaign spent over 730 million dollars in the 2016 presidential election. That does not include any in-kind, third party expenses, or the endless positive earned media.

Did Victoria Sullivan’s Supporters just Crowdsource the Campaign Tagline?
The supporters that showed up yesterday at City Hall Plaza DO have a sense of humor. Of course, most studies show that conservatives have more of a sense of humor than the dour Progressives who find fault in almost anything!
