Yeah, but this is what happens when it doesn’t work:

RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)

It seems, however, that Obama has assumed that everyone would play by his playbook and, well, have “a book” that he could turn against them.  For his fumbling concerning Syria, this may be his Waterloo.  Prattling on about a “Red line” and “moral authority”  Obama has tried to make others just fall into line like good little doobies (no, not the kind that the Choom Gang was familiar with) with his use of RULE 10 (“If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.”).  He tried it with the American people who have rightly seen through it.  He has tried to force the Congress to “live up to its rule book”  but having been ignored, slighted, and bullied by him, it looks like they are growing a few hundred pair.  Plus, all of these elected officials are rightly worried about being seen  as favoring the same people that attacked us, Al Qaeda, and started us into 2 wars – and given how they have or are turning out, they are more concerned with their butts than Obama’s legacy or Presidency.

Or, have the blinders finally come off?

Did you hear that the Manchester Paper has a story about NH State senator Jeb Bradley’s son voting in Colorado where he went to college – and by absentee here in NH? Well I did.

And I was thinking, how did the “investigative journalist” at the Manchester Paper get that kind of info from an out of state source? Most states do not give it out over the phone – so I called.

The people in Colorado, at the Laramire County Clerk’s Office, are very nice. They were more than ready to tell me how the Bradley boy voted but wondered about all the calls regarding this one voter.

Huh?

Call it skullduggery, chicanery, legerdemain or plain old hucksterism, they all last only so long before the mountebank that projects them finds his charade dissolving and evaporating into a brown, fetid mist leaving him hemming, hawing and clutching his well placed fig leaf. And so it is with our mountebank that occupies The White House.

Obama once told Richard Wolffe, “You know, I actually believe my own bulls**t“.  Well he’s not alone. His bulls**t fueled the emotional engine and fed the pathos craving Left and many other Americans long enough to earn him his stay at the White House. However, it’s starting to rot white and crumble in a spectacular way and on the world stage.

Of course it didn’t help him any when he decided to serve another course of bull scat and baldy, laughably, embarrassingly state that the red line was not his. Though he’s said it several times. Everyone know he’s lying and seeking a political CYA. Everyone. What’s more embarrassing is what he expects us to buy.

“Conservatives believe Liberals are misguided; Liberals think Conservatives are EVIL!“

And old phrase – but when you have been watching not only what Liberals / Progressives say but also what they DO and behave, it is clear that Katrina vandenHeuval is not kidding:

Maybe we could launch intervention in those states which are waging war vs. democracy, rolling back voting rights?

— Katrina vandenHeuvel (@KatrinaNation) September 4, 2013

You see, EVIL must be stamped out – and anyone or ANYTHING that disagrees with them, their agenda (bordering on religious heterodoxy), or their politics must be wiped out completely.  How often have you seen Conservatives hounded and driven out, not only the area in which that Conservative “has sinned” but everything in which that Conservative participates?  And she wants to step that up by using the US Military?

Yesterday I posted this about the bomb that Anthem laid concerning healthcare under Obamacare rules – and the rules laid down by our own State bureaucrats:

Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield confirmed that nearly half of the hospitals in its network will not be taking part in the program. Understanding what the rules are at the Insurance Department around network adequacy, we determined we had to come up with an appropriate balance between access and affordability,” said Paula Rogers of Anthem.

Well, as I figured, a little more came out today:

“We are well aware the concept of a narrow network is new to New Hampshire,” Rogers said. “Do we need 26 hospitals to serve our plan? We decided we didn’t.” The network for Anthem individual policy holders who do not purchase through the exchange will be limited as well when current policies expire.

I have no problem with a private company making decisions in how it runs that business – after all, it is “private property” which the owners control and the First Amendment gives them the Right to associate with whom they wish – and who they don’t.  If a Free Marketplace truly existed, there would be competition in a heartbeat to fill the vacuum left by this decision to join up the OTHER 1/2 of the hospitals left out of Anthem’s plan.  Unfortunately, as opposed to Progressives trying to mask the government control over healthcare by making it seem that there is a “real marketplace”, there isn’t one and anyone who says otherwise is either woefully stupid or crassly lying to you.  Anthem has this to do CYA:

We are heading toward a record lack of hurricanes… is it due to Global Warming?

The number of named storms is on pace to fall within the range several seasonal forecasts have projected. On average, however, the season should have seen its first hurricane by now, and none has emerged. Indeed, the first major hurricane, with maximum sustained winds of 111 miles an hour or more, typically appears around Sept. 4, notes Dennis Felgen, spokesmen for the National Hurricane Center.

If the first hurricane fails to appear until after 8 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time Sept. 15, this will be the most hurricane-free first half of a season since satellites began tracking the storms in 1967, he notes in an e-mail.

The Union Leader is reporting that while in college in Colorado, Sebastian Bradley, son of New Hampshire Republican Jeb Bradley, voted in Colorado–where he was attending College, and also voted absentee in New Hampshire.

If it is true he needs to suffer for that.  We’ve made it clear that we have zero tolerance for this crap no matter who does it.   But the more important point is this: there are thousands and thousands of double registered voters in New Hampshire who have been told it is OK to vote here even if they live out of state.   Given the porous nature of voting laws in many states, any number of people could be double-voting, or appear to be double voting.

Today I found out from an article in the Manchester Paper that there was another “investigation” into voter fraud by someone.

Good grief!  The article I read doesn’t even say who investigated this example of voter fraud. Read on readers:  This time it was, again, a Republican being accused of voter fraud.  How interesting.  Here is what I know from reading the news story about this investigation that doesn’t mention the NH AG’s Office.

State Senator Jeb Bradley has a son who voted in NH in 2008 and records from other states indicate that his son also voted from his college residence at Colorado State in the same year.

Another big story from the same investigative reporter at the Manchester Paper was about State Rep. Neil Kurk, who’s daughter lives in Hawaii , but votes here in Weare, New Hampshire; not Hawaii .

She has a NH driver’s license and considers NH her home.  She has done this for years and I knew about it – having a NH driver’s license kind of dropped that issue for me.   I am more interested in non-resident voters who have no business voting here, no relatives, no connection.  I keep finding non-residents from the Obama campaign voting here illegally, something the AG and the investigative reporter from the Manchester Paper never seem to stumble across.

Imagine my surprise to find out that the NH Attorney General is not quoted in the recent article about voter fraud.

Investigative Journalist John DiStaso, Union Leader, has had a knack for “uncovering and reporting” potential evidence of Vote Fraud committed by family members of New Hampshire Republicans.

He was all over Neil Kirk’s daughter, who has a New Hampshire’s Driver’s license, but never mentions if Jeanne Shaheen’s daughter Molly, whom he mentions as having voted here,  has one as well.  We don’t know that answer.  He either didn’t investigate that or withheld the answer.

There has also been a dearth of similar reporting by Investigative Reporter DiStaso on prominent Democrats…and now we know why.   John DiStaso’s source for these ‘stories’ is the OFA/NHDP Press spokes-person/propaganda Minister Harrell Kirstein from the New Hampshire Democrat Party.

I guess I was prescient yesterday.

Remember, before now US Senator Jeanne Shaheen, she was the NH State Senator who sponsored SB711 – that godawful bill of healthcare destruction that annhiliated the insurance carrier competition in NH.  From over two dozen companies vying for New Hampshirites’ business and dollars (and forcing them to provide better coverage based on what people were willing to pay), we ended up with two (and change).  This is what Jeanne Shaheen’s Democrat Party calls “goodness” – more regulation ensued and that’s all they cared about – for nothing says “we care” than regulating all choice out of the marketplace.  Even choices that people really liked and wanted.  But, like all good busybody Nanny Staters, Shaheen just couldn’t leave other peoples’ wants to themselves – she just had to step in to “set those citizens right”.  And did it again, being one of the major pushers of Obamacare.

She must be so “HAPPY HAPPY” (a little Duck Dynasty, that) over the latest news that her push to kill competition has resulted in only ONE carrier in the State for the Federally sponsored ObamaExchange (then there will be only 1 company to kill off to get to her penultimate goal – the Federal Govt nationalizing the industry outright.  Quiet Jeanne – only in word for her deeds against her “New Hampshire wards” speak for her.   The news of the day?  That the single company in the NH Exchange, Anthem, has decided that as the only Obamacare representative carrier in the State, it only needs 1/2 the hospitals in the State – and YOU DON’T EITHER!  After all, these are the Smart People and know far better than you that a far away hospital is best (“for the common good”).

And we can directly blame all those Obama voters here in NH for putting everyone into this pickle.

Or you end up with “how DARE you blame me what what I said” weasel words:

“First of all, I didn’t set a red line,” Barack Obama said today at a press conference in Stockholm. “The world set a red line. The world set a red line when governments representing 98% of the world’s population said the use of chemical weapons are [sic] abhorrent and passed a treaty forbidding their use, even when countries are engaged in war.”

Once again, another politician that has forgotten that the Internet doesn’t:

We have been very clear to the Assad regime, but also to other players on the ground, that a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized. That would change my calculus. That would change my equation.

No, Prez Wishes-He-Was-Teflon, you can’t withdraw your “War” vote with a “Present” vote by blaming everyone else in the world.
