From my stack of stuff: well, wasn’t Charle McMahon a bit smug and condescending?

This is left over from the Windham (NH) Primary debate where one of the moderators was Ken Eyring – one of the most gentle, self-controlled, and smartest guys I know.  Always prepared, always does his homework; he was treated rather badly by one of the candidates in the debate: RINO, Charlie McMahon (an incumbent Republican).

I’ve put the full transcript of this clip after the jump.  I’m putting this up for a few reasons:

  • First, McMahon is aloof, smarmy, and certainly full of himself
  • He also doesn’t want to be held to account – listen to he words and watch his demeanor – it is clear he doesn’t want to be challenged like this in an open forum
  • Full disclosure – I consider Ken my friend and I can tell you, being called intellectually unready is about the biggest insult you could call Ken.  The fact that McMahon would say that and then deny that he was being respectful is the height of actually being disrepectful.
  • Listen to his arguments – they don’t match up with what Ken has said about the bill WHICH KEN HAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM. He knows he’s been caught and caught badly but attempts to bluster his way out of the trap he set for himself when he signed up for being a co-sponsor.

Finally, what the HECK is this “Republican” doing working to create an almost involuntary plan (we wrote about HB628 extensively here on GraniteGrok – we read the bill too!) and by definition, with an income tax? Somebody put an ejection seat under him and push the button, please:

So, IMHO, he’s lying through his

Dem party does not deserve our support

Has Anyone seen Chuck Schumer?

The endless 24/7 news feed leading up to November 6, 2018, has only one person less visible than Paul Ryan and that is Democrat Senate leader Chuck Schumer of New York, the guy to whom our NH Senators answer. Maybe it is because his hardest supporters are suddenly rejecting him. In this case enough to … Read more

Endorsement – Harry Bean for NH House from Meredith / Gilford

A personal endorsement for Harry Bean for NH House from Gilford / Meredith:

To the Daily Sun,

This Letter is written in support of Harry Bean for the NH House of Representatives to represent the Belknap District 2 residents of Gilford and NH. I served with Harry last year on the Gilford Budget Committee and had many talks about how he sees our town, our State, and our Nation. A quiet man, whose family’s roots in Gilford span back to the 1800s, this veteran is dedicated to this town and to the Principles to which he swore his oath. He understands well the age old issue in politics of needs versus wants having been a long time entrepreneur – he knows how those decisions have affected both his family and those families that his business serves. He knows that “faux” compassion shown by his Democrat opponents, their insistence that “we must invest more” is simply that – just a smooth, silky voiced way to take money away from regular work-a-day families that may be struggling to put food on the table simply so that they can spend it on their “more proper” priorities than what those families would otherwise do.

Common sense – he is that to his core.

Harry Bean – Candidate for NH House in Belknap District 2 (Gilford / Meredith)

To The Daily Sun,

The campaign signs and the mailings of the Democrat candidates for state rep (Gilford/Meredith) speak about “compassion” for county funding. I guess that they are unaware that their Republican counterparts this year overfunded the county by approximately one million dollars. These Democrats are beating their chests about their “compassion” by campaigning to spend even more for public schools, addiction recovery and health care.

What they won’t do is to be honest that your bank account exists to be an open-ended check to go fund their “compassions.” What they don’t seem to have is any real compassion for the fixed and low-income taxpayers who will be footing the taxes for their higher spending. But the Democrats don’t care about them — they only want more for government.

As If you Needed Another Reason to NOT VOTE Democrat

This one kind of defies all sensibilities but it must be shared to show just how INSANE the Democrat Party has become. I apologize for even sharing this but voters need to know that if they vote Democrat, THIS IS WHAT THEY ARE GETTING. Never mind the horrific policies that increase the size of government, … Read more

6 and a half is the new 7. Or something.

So, this guy, Democrat Jon Morgan, seated in this photo to the left (“to the left”; ha, made myself laugh) of Democrat House Candidate Liz McDonnell, one of the Moms Demand Action girls, publicly stated at an October 29, 2018 campaign event in Brentwood, NH that he only returned to live in NH for “about … Read more

Annie Kuster Admits Obamacare is a Failure

New Hampshire Congresswoman Annie Kuster was interviewed last week by NHPR.  The first question she was asked was: Health insurance is getting more expensive. More employer plans now have deductibles, which on average are growing. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, premiums are rising three times faster than inflation and twice as fast as wages. … Read more

Chris Pappas Nancy Pelosi pawn

We Can’t Trust Chris Pappas to Serve Us

This ad speaks for itself. Once Pappas was exposed for being an extreme left-wing ‘RESIST‘ participant, he changed his tune and claimed to be a moderate. Anyone who lives in New Hampshire, knows better.

Some Choice.

I went to the “Gosnell” movie last week with my wife and a neighbor. Not many people were in the theater early on a Thursday evening. It was about one-quarter full. Mostly older people and a few seeming to be family members, filed in as we did. The thing that struck me about the movie … Read more

“I’m NOT going to be IGNORED!”

Who would have believed that 31 years after it debuted, a fully-growed Massachusetts cop who runs an alleged pro-firearms organization based in NH would reprise Glenn Close’s role and give voice once more to her homicidal threat? Those of you who know me know I have repeatedly expressed my personal belief that this “firearms” organization … Read more

Looming Elections, GOTV, and Illegal Immigrant Caravans

I continue my conversation with Kimberly Morin (guest hosting on The Real Side with Joe Messina). This time we’re talking about the looming election, get out the vote, what’s motivating both sides, and then we discuss the illegal immigrant caravan making its way toward our southern border. (Part 3) Part 1 – Part 2

Got School Choice? Not if you Elect Democrats in New Hampshire

Over and over again, New Hampshire Democrats keep hammering away at some non-existent voucher bill in the state. They appear to be referring to Educational Savings Accounts (ESAs) but they never let facts get in the way of their propaganda. ESAs are not a school voucher program nor will they cause an increase in property … Read more

The Colbert Report has a Halloween surprise for viewers, one of the scariest people on the planet, Nancy Pelosi. Here is a clip of the genius of the Democrat Party – Annie Kuster’s Democrat Party, where Nancy Pelosi has counted her NH chicken before it has hatched. There is something disturbing at the gut level … Read more

It’s Our First Top-Ten (October, 2018) on the New Website

In the early part of October, we stopped sticking our toe in the ‘New Website’ water and jumped. Pushed might be a better word. The old site lacked updated security features and we were suspicious of another potential breach so in we went. Splash! Complete with a slowly rotating top-5, at the top of the home … Read more

Quick Thought – So why the discord, Progressives, about Constitutional Originalism for the 14th but…

14th Amendment, Section I (yes, there are several parts):

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Yep, the liberal punditry, the Progressive activists, the Open Borders buffoons, and the “we need their votes!” Democrat Partyistas are all up in arms and colored smoke from exploding heads is wafting in the air.  Steve, with his post “Why Is Mr. Trump Suggesting an Executive Order on Birthright Citizenship Now?” brings up a few points.  Let me add to that:
