The Colorado model changed Democrat political tactics, as uber-wealthy liberals joined their check-books to fund a state by state takeover of the nation by left-wing Democrats.

Using non-profits this cabal of billionaires and millionaires franchised their fiscal foot-print through local left-wing terror cells (GraniteStateProgress, NHCA/NHCAA, Get out the vote groups, etc,) who would serve as issue advocacy storm troopers whose real mission was make every day and every issue political.  They would also supplement state and Local Democrat parties to target opponents, and to take over state legislatures, governorships, and elected Secretaries of state–cuz they run the elections and enforce (or not) election law, .  And for the first few years things were pretty good.  You could even credit them with getting Obama elected.

Since then Democrat influence had tumbled to a nearly 100 year low at the state and national level.

Will Obama be remembered for being the impetus behind the Colorado Re-model because Colorado Republicans have begun taking over Colorado…thanks to Obama.

Dear Republicans…no one elected you to work with Democrats.

If voters really wanted people who would work closely with Obama and other Democrats to “get things done,” they would have just voted for more Democrats. After all, virtually every elected Democrat has “worked with” Obama (in the sense of doing exactly everything he asked) for the last six solid years. Say what you want about the information level of the average voter, but absolutely no one was confused into thinking that they were replacing a Democrat with a Republican in the hopes that the Republican would be more friendly to the Democrat agenda.

R/S

I have a suggestion as well.   Reid changed the Senate rules to protect Obama from legislation.  He changed the rules to stop debate, and favor a slim Democrat majority.  My suggestion?  #RunItLikeReid.

Open the flood gates.   For at least the next…I don’t know, two years, return the favor.  No Democrat amendments, no Democrat Debate, up or down (down) on all the waiting Obama nominations (see also Obamanations), move suitable legislation to Obama’s desk and breakneck speed.  That’s right – Do what Democrats said they wanted.  End gridlock and get stuff done.

We’ve given out no ‘Grok Endorsement for the General Election this year.  In fact, the subject didn’t even come up between the primary and now.  But that doesn’t mean that each individual Grokster can’t make their own personal endorsements (and if they have the time….hint, hint) here on the front page – I’d be interested in seeing them where they can intersect with mine nearer to the top of the ticket.

But this year, this cycle, the bottom of the ticket is MUCH more important than ever before.  As Grokster Susan is wont to say (heck most of us are): screw DC, save NH.  And those that we can hold more accountable (after all, this IS New Hampshire – we can walk down the street and yell at them if we so desire (heh!)) are at the bottom of the ticket – THESE are the folks that I believe can help us save NH more than those at the top.  Why?

As we saw this session, those higher in the pyramid have more resources that allows them to ignore us.  How responsive, for instance, were the NH State Senate Rogue Republicans?  As we saw in the Primary, they had enough $$$$ to wave the back of their collective hands at the grassroots (remember, GRINDING an ax is also SHARPENING an ax).  The close the candidate / politician is to you, the more you can have of their ear.  They also know that you are more able to bring about corrective action if they stray.  But I digress.

So in order of importance (that is to say, from the Bottom up) here is how I am planning on voting tomorrow:

For NH House:

Glen Aldrich, Russ Dumais, George Hurt, Herb Vadney (Belknap County District 2)

Belknap County Commissioner District 1:

Dave DeVoy

NH State Senate District 7:

Kathy Lauer-Rago

NH Executive Council:

Joe Kenney

TOP 10 REASONS TO VOTE DEMOCRAT (not!)

#10. I vote Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I’ve decided to marry my German Shepherd.

#9. I vote Democrat because I believe oil companies’ profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon at 15% isn’t.

#8. I vote Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.

#7. I vote Democrat because Freedom of Speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.

#6. I vote Democrat because I’m way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves. I am also thankful that we have a 911 service that gets police to your home in order to identify your body after a home invasion.

The spring of 2014 seems a billion soundbites away, a billion being a gross underestimate but you get my point.  April 2014.  The month in which the wife of the President did us all a favor and stood before a camera holding a sign that read “#BringBackOurGirls.”

Michelle Obama was working the latest media-splash rope-line.  Reports indicated that a group called Boko Haram had kidnapped over 200 girls and was holding them hostage.   Ironically, Michelle Obama had been holding tens of millions of girls school lunches hostage.  Maybe the sign was how she chose to make herself feel better?

She must have succeeded.  Boko Haram and the kidnappings have long since vanished from the headlines on the Democrat propaganda reports–see also the evening 60 minutes hate news–but not because circumstances changed.
