News – Politics – Opinion – Podcasts
CNN asked a number of celebrities what questions they would ask the Republicans in this past Wednesday’s Republican Debate. Out of the 25 picked, only 7 or 8 would vote for a Republican. The last one on the page was Fred and his short answer told me all I needed to know about his politics:
“President Ronald Reagan said, ‘Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!’ Why would the U.S. build one?”
as well as his knowledge of basic history – after all, his age says he should know why
Today was the New Hampshire Democrats’ big convention and there were some people who don’t fall in line with them there to welcome all of the out-of-state left wingers to the pahtay.

Try reading the ACTUAL words sometimes, lawyer boy. No interpretation, no mounds of moldy court cases (like when “enhancing” code, they diminish the excellence of the original elegant). (H/T: Susan)

“One of President Obama’s most prominent and least attractive qualities is his vanity. It almost disposes of the speculation that Obama is a Muslim. The man can’t be a Muslim; he worships himself.” – Scott Johnson, Powerline (H/T: Instapundit)
Riffing off the campaign mantra that Hillary Clinton should be elected President simply because she is female (or has she self-selected any other gender “in solidarity”?) – this is a valid reason to be President, just because she has “lady parts” (methinks just putting up with Bill’s philandering all these years MIGHT be a better sympathy angle, but that’s her own dang fault)? Via Bety’s Page is this observation about Carly Fiorina, a most proper one IMHO, by Kimberly Strassel:
She isn’t a woman running for president. She’s a presidential contender who happens to be a woman.
As it should be. Screw the Democrat identity politics; Republicans that don’t eschew that mentality deserve to lose (yet some think they can play and win at that game – poor besotted weaklings of the “who needs principles” lemmings). Oft,
Well at least Hillary Clinton is finally admitting she’s a liar. That’s the claim she’s making about an ad by American Crossroads that uses HER OWN WORDS regarding her email server scandal.
THE NIGHT BEFORE: HOBNOBBING WITH JEB: “It’s clear — he said as much — that he is itching to run against Hillary Clinton,” Roger Simon writes of his first meeting with the former Florida governor.
If only Jeb didn’t seem even more eager to run against the GOP base first, he might be better positioned for his wish to be granted.
That would be “we have to start campaigning in a way that is beyond the base“. Is it not hubris to ignore your built in base of voters – and then with a “wave of hand” dismissal of them entirely? Hubris –
This ad by Ted Cruz ran for the first time last night during the debate: Minimalist? Yes. Different? Yes. The message? I liked it.
Harrell Kirstein – normally NH Democrat Party Chair Ray Buckley’s press flack – is the Hillary Clinton press secretary this go around. Of COURSE he was going to insert himself into the GOP Debate by sending in a “Hillary Clinton” tweet. I saw it and decided to “make an observation” of that old white woman’s … Read more

Twichy has more Clinton bad luck on tap…
What gay activists and their water-carriers get wrong almost every time is that where there is no monopoly on a product or service their attacks on conscientious objectors is not a battle for tolerance it is an exercise in intolerance. Embrace their worldview or be destroyed, personally, professionally, publicly.

New Hampshire Liquor Commission
NHLC joins 25 other states in banning powdered alcohol due to concerns over misuse and underage consumption of alcohol.CONCORD – Citing the strong. possibility for underage consumption of alcohol, along with potential liability issues for restaurant and lounge owners, the New Hampshire Liquor Commission (NHLC) has issued an order banning the sale of powdered alcohol in New Hampshire and preventing the product from being shipped into the state.
The Democrat-majority NH Legislature passed (House 268-8 Senate 24-0*), and Governor Lynch signed a bill blocking REAL ID in New Hampshire circa 2007. Now, the Feds say REAL ID Rules mean a NH Drivers License is no longer an acceptable form of ID to board a domestic flight. But that was part of the plan with Real ID. This is merely the last phase. So where do we stand?
Early this year an effort was made to address the deadline but a bi-partisan committee in the NH Senate killed a bill to address the requirements.
