On September 1st, 2015 Joe Barton was arrested and charged by the New Hampshire Attorney General’s office with falsifying a letter from State NHGOP Chair Jennifer Horn, to act as a vote challenger in the town of Newmarket, in the November 2014 election. The arrest received a great deal of media attention, in conjunction with other charges brought by the AG against Barton for an altercation at the polling place on election day.

An anonymous source has notified me that a hearing to be held today was cancelled by assistant NH AG Stephen Labonte, who invoked Nolle Prosequi on the charge of unsworn falsification. The AG does not have evidence to prosecute. Innocent is another way to put it. So, could this have any bearing on the remaining charges?

“I don’t believe gun owners have rights.” — Sarah Brady

All the liberal radio talk shows (the few that I could locate) are awash with discussion regarding the most recent mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon. 26-year-old Chris Harper Mercer killed ten people at the college.  Calls for Gun Control came right out of the gate.

There is no point in rehashing the mass shooting details here. If you don’t know the details, you are probably stupid, or live in a cave in the mountains. The ubiquitous and perpetual, never-ending news cycle portends for us the coming gun control storm on the heels of another mass shooting. Obama is calling for more Gun Control.

The Rockingham County Republican Committee had a booth at the Deerfield Fair and took the opportunity to take a straw poll. Neither the national media nor the establishment Republicans will like the results. The not-a-politician candidates dominated, corralling 69% of the vote. Trump lead the poll with 39%, followed by Carson with 29% and Fiorina with 11%. Ted Cruz collected 9%, Rubio 6%, and Rand Paul 4%.

The NHGOP establishment darling (prefered candidate of the SunuGnome and company), John Kasich, got 4% and Jeb Bush 3%.

Complete results and details of the poll on the jump.

Although it isn’t being talked about much in the news, witnesses to the horrific Umpqua Community College shooting stated that the killer was asking his victims their religion before shooting. It was been made clear that if a victim said they were Christian they were shot in the head. This extremely disturbing scenario has been ignored by Obama and others but not by the Lieutenant Governor of Tennessee, Ron Ramsey.

Clearly Hillary Clinton thinks Granite Staters are stupid. She used a known Moms Demand hack to plant a gun control question at one of her ‘town halls’ recently.

Well, how’d that work out for him, eh Steve?  Are you looking to continue to whip up the alienation of the conservative base of the Party that Walt successfully torqued off and was subsequently unsuccessful at getting the same to vote for him (name of John Stark come to mind?) in the General Election? (and NO!, not all Republicans are conservative, truth be known – not by a long shot).

We have to keep in mind there’s a whole segment in the Party, particularly the people who are the Big Donors, who would love to have a one day national primary because that favors the people that give big money.  It could also lead to a mistake of electing a celebrity.  We could end up with Brad Pitt as our nominee in a one day national primary.

On the other hand, we have our most fervent TEA Party activists who would like us to have a caucus or primary every week for 50 weeks leading up to the convention.

This, I believe, was a shot at the 603 Alliance –

I’ve heard Ken before – he gives speech to the plight of the Western States whose land is mostly still “held” by the Federal Government stemming from their days as newly appointed States.  It is this situation that makes them oft “over the political barrel” as without taxable land mass, they can be beholden to “free money” from the Feds – and the those that would use that situation against them (re: US Senator Harry Reid (D-NV).  He is speaks on “State Equality”
