The best of hands…

I found this edition of the Hooksett Banner in the Hooksett Town Clerk’s office Monday when I went to register as an observer for the September 9 primary election. The guys filming David Boutin’s rant at the Asian Breeze restaurant didn’t seem to believe he was a sitting NH State Senator; it would appear that the editors … Read more

RINO Alert – Steve Hattamer

No More RINO's - RLCNH puts up the records they must run onTom Flaherty already did the heavy lifting for this RINO Alert back in July, so I will make a few quick observations about Steve Hattamer, and leave you with Tom’s research and remarks.

Steve Mad-Hattamer is a RINO.

Steve Mad-Hattamer can’t even explain why he is running for Executive Council, let alone answer questions about the position or his goals if elected.

Steve Mad-Hattamer may be one of the least qualified  candidates  for Executive council,  ever to run for the post, based on interviews I have had with people who have met him, or heard him speak.   Thankfully, Republicans have more than one candidate to choose from in the September 9th EC District 5 primary, coming up in less than two weeks.

And here, as promised, is the bulk of  Tom’s post from July, which I have included below.

Hattamer and his wife, Elizabeth, have made a habit of donating to Democrats since 2006.

Hattamer Political Contributions

As you can see here from the FollowTheMoney.org website, Hattamer and/or his wife contributed to Democrats Sam Page (D-MO) $6400 and Michael S Katz (D-DE) $1100 (click image to enlarge).

Why Do Left Wing Union Bosses Love Michael McCarthy?

Unions - Proud Owners Of The Democrat Party
Unions – Proud Owners Of The Democrat Party

The IBEW’s leadership tried to give our left wing Governor, Maggie Hassan, 25,000.00 dollars so you’d be right to ask what their interest is in a Republican candidate for the NH State Senate.  That same union officials have given Republican State Senate Candidate Michael McCarthy (Dist 12) $2500.00 dollars so far.  And they are not alone.

The Teamster bosses are investing in McCarthy, MA/NNE, the SEA (NH’s local SEIU), and the IUPAT PAC, all unions who rabidly support Democrats and the Democrat agenda, with cash, campaign troops, and other forms of in-kind contributions.  Union officials account for almost 60% of McCarthy’s donations as of Aug 20th, and that is without bothering to track individual donors who may be union members.

McCarthy has to represent something to the Union officials/Democrat agenda for them to invest so much in his campaign, and that should send up more than few red flags for Republican primary voters next Tuesday.

Depends on What You Mean By ‘Missing’ Emails…

Lost Ark Crate Warehouse
Lois Lerner’s Emails are in here….somewhere.

At the end of the original Indian Jones movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark, the Ark of the Covenant is packed into a nondescript crate and wheeled into the worlds largest warehouse where it could *almost never be found again.   Well, the IRS is now admitting that everything they’ve been saying about lost emails and missing or damaged drives, didn’t actually matter because, Gosh Wally, the Government does back everything up after all, but there’s no way we’ll ever be able to find what you’re looking for.

Judicial Watch phrases it this way…

Feds Spend A Million On Misinformation Research Grant

Obama wanted us spying on each otherDemocrats are obsessed with controlling what they define as ‘ misinformation.’  Remember AttackWatch?  How about those White House requests to spy on your neighbors?  Invitations to share the email addresses of your friends, family, or coworkers (or others) with the government from so they could address any misinformation they had been sharing…you know,  so the government could…straighten them out.  There were DCCC cheat sheets every Thanksgiving to set the record straight–and make sure you take note of who in the family disagrees with you…

Then there’s all the NSA spying, strong arming to get internet data, spying on journalists, congress, our so-called allies overseas….

Each of these has been met with varying degrees of concern  (ridicule and derision) over the Stasi like tactics being employed by the Obama administration.  But that has not stopped them.

Our Democrat President is still using his intelligence apparatus to spy on all of us, but why stop there?

Jeanne Shaheen Rewards Pay Inequality
Part II

shaheen pay inequality 2Mark “0.71” Begich is not the only Democrat in congress who underpays his female staffers while railing on the Democrat straw man (woman?) of pay inequality.

Michigan Congressman Gary Peters is running for the US Senate and wouldn’t it just figure–he pays his female staffers even less than Begich does, compared to men.

Gary Peters only pays his gals 0.67 cents for every dollar he pays the fellas.

Wouldn’t it be ironic if Senator Jeanne Shaheen’s leadership PAC had given money to another guy whom her party rhetoric would identify as a greedy, sexist, misogynist dirt bag?

Letter to Rep. Hoell regarding Scott Brown (aka Scott “Take Your Guns Away” Brown):

PENNY S. DEAN

Attorney and Counselor at Law

My name is Penny Dean; I am an attorney who regularly practices before a variety of state and federal courts and administrative agencies.I am also an NRA certified instructor (Basic Pistol, Metallic Cartridge and Shotgun Shell Reloading) as well as an NRA Range Safety Officer. I teach Hunter Education. I am a graduate of the Lethal Force Institute I-III (when Massad Ayoob was LFI Director). I have testified countless times before New Hampshire House and New Hampshire Senate committees. I present analyses of firearms-related legislation. My goal: to help the General Court’s members to understand firearms and other civil rights issues. Let’s look at the FACTS about Scott Brown’s views (and actions/votes) on guns:

FACT:    Scott Brown backs assault gun ban-state & federal

“As a state legislator in Massachusetts I supported an assault weapons ban thinking other states would follow suit. But unfortunately, they have not and innocent people are being killed. As a result, I support a federal assault weapons ban, perhaps like the legislation we have in Massachusetts.” ….. “But Brown earned the endorsement of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg in November’s election…” (Politico 12/20/2012; see http://www.politico.com/story/2012/12/scott-brown-backs-assault-gun-ban-85348.html or http://politi.co/1pBUgtB)

“The Excluded Middle” – Ol Remus

Every now and then, one runs across a piece so well written it requires posting in its entirety.  From Ol Remus.

“It’s time for ol’ Remus to give viewing with alarm a rest, it’s getting too crowded to be heard. He’s going back to the “what’s coming” part, taking up the trail where he left off, with the most potent economic and political force ever created: the middle class.

Remus can do this with some objectivity because he isn’t middle class. He’s lower class. Better said as working class. Worse, he’s not even “fly-over country” working class but Appalachian working class, something instantly obvious and inexpressively offensive to the middle class. Perhaps it’s because the media savages us at every opportunity. Appalachian working class people are the only Americans that can be insulted by name without consequence. It’s no wonder the middle class is amazed we can read without moving our lips, let alone have a preference for Gatwick over Heathrow, say.

GrokTV: Seacoast GOP Candidate Debates – Gubernatorial Part 1

Yesterday was the Seacoast GOP Candidate Debates (Exeter, Rockingham County, and Seacoast Republican Women) Candidate Debates – Gubernatorial, US Congressional, and US Senate) held at the Exeter Town Hall.  Being under the weather, Grokster Mike filled in for the livestreaming – new way for GraniteGrok in using some new technology.  Yes, not able to zoom in and the audio is not what we normally present – but that’s what happens when our dedicated equipment wasn’t available.  Adapt, innovate – overcome.  Solutions to those problems are now known and we’ll be trying to implement them as soon as we can.  In the mean time – if you have headphones, use them (better than your PC speakers).  In the mean time, here is the first video – candidates for the NH GOP nomination for NH Governor – Andrew Hemingway and Walt Havenstein:

For each debate sequence, the format is the same:

  • Opening remarks (above)
  • Formal Questions
  • Lightning Round
  • Formal Questions
  • Closing Remarks

…except here, we also have the opening ceremonies. Jeff Chidester served admirably as Master of Ceremonies in keeping on time and the candidates on point! After the jump, the Formal Questions for these two:

COEXIST – I’ve always hated that bumper sticker

Coexist is a fairy tale and here is the reason why: life is not a series of Kumbuyah moments.  Sure, there can be times when the lion lies down with the lamb but most of the time, the lamb is merely a mouthful: With Jihad, there can only be one… (H/T: Powerline)

One Journalist Executed Another Released

You’d be right to wonder what the differences are between the kidnapping and execution of James Foley and the kidnapping and release of Peter Theo Curtis.

Curtis is a reporter from Boston, whose recent release was reported in Germany as having been in exchange for something.  Victory Girls has the report as well as a list of questions.

 

  • Who exactly was holding Curtis?

  • Are they connected to ISIS?

  • Was it a negotiation, as reported by die Welt am Sonntag, or a rescue?

  • If it was a negotiation, what did the kidnappers receive in return?

Stiles “Takes The Lead” in Advancing the Liberal Democrat Agenda

Meh.
Nancy Stiles is a RINO.

Nancy Stiles has another mailer out, in which she is sold as a leader who is tough on Liberal Democrats.  (I almost spit my coffee out I laughed so hard.)

The mailer obviously says things Republicans would like to hear from or about a candidate but all of that pales next to the one thing about Nancy Stiles they must understand.

Nancy Stiles unwavering commitment to the expansion is the reason why we got saddled with a Medicaid deal in New Hampshire.
