Biden, “If it only saves one life.” Except, don’t do what works ….

  Newsflash Atlanta….  Yesterday a youth intent on shooting fellow students at Atlanta’s Price Middle School was stopped by the school’s “Gun Free Zone” sign.  Well, not really, that is just the fantasy that liberals want people to believe. Actually after wounding multiple people, the shooter was stopped, not by the “Gun Free Zone” sign, but … Read more

Hmm…here’s a thought.

From one of my little old lady friends who winters in Arizona…

A funny thing happened on the way to “Did Saturday’s boos send a response to Jim Foley’s claim?”

It just keep writing itself.  A Conservative friend of mine was strolling around the ‘Grok and saw the post I put up from Jim Foley’s site for his aborted run for NH GOP Chair. He let me know that “Wow, can anything scream ‘Country Club!’ ” any more than the pictures he had as a back drop to the page”?  Then he really started to laugh – and laugh hard.  He just could not get over the joke I was playing “You really want to push this, don’t you?”

“Huh”?  He started laughing harder: “Skip, did you REALLY have to put those ads there – “Jim Foley’s Colon Pills and Colon Cleanse” and “Jim Foley’s Liver Cleanse“?  By this time, he was really cracking up badly.  And then it sunk in: the Amazon sidebar ad” that was displaying as he was looking at “Did Saturday’s boos send a response to Jim Foley’s claim?“.  I asked him to send a screen cap to me even while I went back to that post myself (go ahead, they showed up for me!):

Moran and Manchin Lie, Saying Gun Bill Supported By The NRA

New Hampshire Democrats Want Their JackBoot Back on The Necks of Poor Kids

schooL_choiceBack in April of 2012 we reported on how 71% of New Hampshire’s public schools failed to meet their adequate yearly progress in math and reading.  (Not very ‘progressive’ of them.)  We later debated the potential benefits to local New Hampshire school districts who could ‘potentially’ collect a tax windfall per student with the program–more than they would lose if the new voucher legislation was passed.  (It passed.)  We made fun of left wing criticism (narrative) against the scholarship program and even showed how it had saved other states money.  We even reminded Liberals that they have been known to argue against overturing settled law (which the school voucher program is), the same Democrats who were now focusing on the budget as promised trying to overturn every law Republicans passed that they could–as quickly as possible.

Well, New Hampshire Democrats are still Democrats and the scholarship program passed by House Republicans is a threat to their union monopoly on education.  So a scholarship program that is specifically designed to direct private money to help the most vulnerable, low income families in our state, gain access to schools with the potential to deliver better outcomes, must be repealed.

The Ever-So-Dysfunctional Timothy Horrigan

The Dunce of Durham, Rep. Timothy Horrigan

Timmy HAD TO KNOW when this UL Editorial hit, we here at the Grok would be all over it. This editorial…”Civility in question: Rep. Horrigan shamed again.” So we all have to ask…”what drew the ire of the Union Leader Editorial pages?”

Seems its nothing new for Timmy…the same thing he resigned over the last time: Making bothersome comments,  to be kind and judicious.

In 2010, Rindge DemocRAT Keith David Halloran quipped on his Facebook wishing that Sarah Palin and her daughter’s former boyfriend were the

It Depends on What The Definition of ‘Affordable’ Is

The Democrat conquest of the Insurance market continues apace as the IRS has just released some more rules for the commoners to live by.   These ‘rules’ include the definition of ‘affordable’ as in “Patient Affordable Care Act,” and as it turns out… Nearly 500,00 children, under Obamacare, will still lack health insurance because many poor … Read more

So College Kids Should Be Allowed to Vote In NH, Even if They never Went to College in NH?

VVote From Here - No Matter Where you live!
Vote In NH – No Matter Where you really live!

Meet Emanuel Yekutiel.  Emanuel left Los Angeles, where his parents live, to go to College in Massachusetts.  According to Ed Naile at NH Insider, Emanuel is listed as living at 33 Stetson Ct., Williamstown, Ma. 01267.

But in 2012 he voted from 3 Woodley Rd in Lebanon New Hampshire, more than 100 miles away from his address in Massachusetts.

Could it be that having been employed in the service of the Obama For America office at 85 Mechanic Street in Lebanon could have played a role in his choice of polling places?

What exactly does this mean?

A Bump On The Road To Unity – some riffs off Steve

Unity

Steve’s post brings up a bunch of issues that are well worth your time to read – and as you can tell by the title here, this is a takeoff on it.  He brings up (along with some of my thoughts):

  • Bloggers like us aren’t the problem that former NH GOP Chair Wayne MacDonald believes us to be…

Most political operatives, campaign managers, politicians and El Jefes of the GOP still have little to no clue how to view bloggers even after a decade since the first bloggers started.  Ditto for cooperating with us.  These folks get frustrated, because they quickly find out that not only can they not “use” bloggers, bloggers get extremely annoyed when a dumb attempt is made to actually do so (and make that abundantly clear, which then makes us “the enemy” in their minds because we won’t “go along”).  We may support your issues, and sometimes, we may even be in lockstep in areas, issues, or people important to you , but realize that it is because those things are important to us – not you.  We do a lot of things but mainly we blog and we do a lot of it.  Personally, don’t ask me to do a lot of other things that you think we should be doing; ask how I might be able to help THIS way – not your way or to plug your “need holes”. We may like you as a politician but don’t view us as part of your campaign staff (even if we “make nice” on you often) that you can then believe co-opting might possible.

Jon Henke a few years ago told me what he tells politico type…

A Bump On The Road To Unity – Unity of what?

Rose Colored GlassesAgain, Steve’s post on NH GOP’s mistrust of bloggers and unity ignited a bunch of thoughts – and realized I had gone long (even for me).  So consider this Part II of mine from his Part I.  On Unity – or more properly put – the false sense of Unity that some in the NH GOP are proclaiming just because, well, it what is supposed to happen after elections.  Phewy on that – unfortunately, Reality is about to be injected into some self-delusion happy talkers that are believing that nonsense (their rose colored lenses are gonna have to dialed down quick).

Unity – all day Saturday we heard that we, as a Party, now have to unify, that we have to be united.  Well, that’s very true.  The question is “Unity of what?”  Well, the simple answer is “well, to win”.  Gee, no kidding – that’s a given.  The purpose of the NH GOP, historically, has been to take people who are willing to put an “R” after their name and get them elected.  Period.  They have had (or shown) very little judgement or discipline in this matter (sorta like that TSA parody of Rush’s: “He’s breathin’!”).

Simply saying “Unity NOW!” or “We are UNITED!” is now insufficient for the NH GOP at this time.  Period. Silly, really. Ain’t gonna happen and if the E-Board and the Chair think that this state of being is here, well, it’s back to the Wilderness for quite some time (am just hoping it isn’t for 40 election cycles).  A snap of the fingers isn’t going to heal what has been festering for 3 or 4 cycles now (at a minimum, but has become front and center the last two or three cycles).  Ding Ding Ding!  Ignoring the real state of dis-unity it isn’t going to solve it – that’s just doubling down on the Disaster line.  Acting like a judge (or a parent) and only yell “stop it – act like adults ” will probably end up like the SuperBalls I used to bounce off the brick wall at JFK Elementary School – I found out the hard way that a rebounding (super hard) ball on the soft parts of the body HURT.  So will maintaining the delusional.

Data Point – Obama’s economy heading south: -0.1%

The Obama administration, I think, has figured out that the Bush excuse has expired.  But, they were happy to talk Sandy Superstorm and “The Republican fiscal cliff” – it is never, EVAH the result of their policies.  Never. Some numbers breakdown here. (H/T: AEIdeas)

Joe Biden: “If it only saves one life!” Five against two. Guess who had the equalizer?

Five big guys against two guys.  Normally, the five guys are going to take what they want.  It did turn into, temporarily, a five on one.  And then… (reformatted, emphasis mine):

FAIRBORN —  One man was killed and another shot in the leg when they, along with three others, allegedly participated in a home invasion Monday evening where the residents fought back.   Police said Tuesday that it is still a bit unclear what prompted the five individuals, ages 19 to 23, to force their way into the Victoria Avenue home while brandishing a fake plastic gun.   Fairborn Police Sgt. Paul Hicks said the only motive they’ve uncovered was that the subjects intended to rob the home.

 Two Wright State University students who live at 1006 Victoria Ave. were home when the intruders entered.

5 on 2.  not good odds.

Trent Seitz, 21, reportedly struggled with the men and was ordered to the floor. He called out for his roommate, Christopher Muse, who told police that he grabbed a gun and fired at the men.
