So Dan Eaton wishes to “To restore transparency, civility and fairness to the institution”. Fine – how about Ethics, Dan?

The Sentinel asked why Democrat Dan Eaton, who resigned from the NH House due to ethics charges, why he was running.  Well, the guy seems to have a pair (if nothing else):  “To restore transparency, civility and fairness to the institution“

Riiiiiiight.  If I remember right, he resigned when he became under an investigation of a “lapse in ethics” – does this mean he’ll be “transparent” as to the charges AND why he resigned?  And the stories are that he wasn’t all that civil about things, either.  So, what IS fairness, Mr. Dan?    And why now is a better time for you to be back in the NH House, again, now that you are a “resignee”?   A mailer that went out to folks in that area was forwarded to me (note: you HAVE to like the name of the PAC – “the “Do You Know Who I AM” PAC.  And that’s his brother, the Chair??):

Well, seems like Dan might have been the bad boy, eh?   The PAC goes on to list the Top 5 Reasons To REJECT Dan Eaton for State Representative:

After months of hearing about Ladyparts, NOW we hear about Obama’s Manparts?

Speaking to reporters after President Obama’s rally in Lima High School in Ohio Friday, longtime adviser David Axelrod said that the incumbent has never been more fired up. “I’ve known him for 20 years. We’ve worked closely for 10 years. I’ve never seen him more exhilarated than he is right now. He believes in what … Read more

Obama: Revenge. Romney: For Love of Country

The true Obama is coming out – contrast with what Romney thinks.

“He asked his supporters to vote for revenge.  For revenge.  Instead, today I ask the American people to vote for love of country.”

 

(H/T: Instapundit)  Again, Romney was not my guy in the primary; in fact, there were almost as many choice before Romney as there were his opponents in the primary.  But yes, THIS is what I want to hear from a President, for love of country, and not seeking revenge on one’s political opponents.  Obama has shown us yet another glimpse of his real side in that gaffe (““No, no, no. Don’t boo. Vote,” he said. “Voting is the best revenge.””).  I need to hunt down that video because it absolutely BEGS the question: “Revenge for WHAT?”

Here it is:

It’s Time for Us to do Our Part

Four years ago was historic. The first black president was inaugurated. For the first time, a former First Lady became the Secretary of State. It was the first time the Democrats controlled the Oval Office, House of Representatives, and the Senate since the nineties. It was the first time I stopped yelling at the news and rolled my lazy butt off the couch and started actively participating in the political discourse (okay, that part’s not really historic).

Blogline of the Day – a take off on Joe Biden

Joe Biden, running mate of Obama, is oft heard to say “Obama is dead and GM is alive”.  Over at The Corner: “Chris Stevens is dead and the UAW’s pension plan is alive.“ That would be Ambassador Chris Stevens to Libya, murdered in Benghazi.  And the GM UAW union workers’ pensions are alive because the … Read more

Barack Obama, Ben Ghazi, and Warren Wimmen Walk into a Bar…

Alternate title:  Jobs report – 65 million can’t find work, unemployment effectively zero. Alrernate alternate title:  If Barack Obama falls in the electroal forrest and the Main Stream Media doesn’t report it, did it really happen? Sigh. Tuesday can’t come soon enough.  That will not, however, be the end of it.  While Romney will very … Read more

Look For The Union Label…

ILFWU ad campaing promoted Union products in the seventies and early eighties
Look for the Union Label - for obstruction and delay in a time of crisis

That catchy tune from the 70’s/80’s ad campaign promoting Union made products might need to be re-spun with a new front man in the shadow of Hurricane Sandy.  Relief crews that drove all the way to New Jersey from Alabama were told thanks, but no thanks—we don’t want your help….because you use non-union labor.

This looks like a good time to Quote the President.

President Barack Obama vowed: “We are not going to tolerate red tape, we are not going to tolerate bureaucracy.”

Liberty will advance with Ovide as Governor

As the leader of a Republican organization focused on liberty in New Hampshire, I often come across people who refuse to go along with the party nominee in higher-end races and vote their conscience instead.

A vote on principle is certainly something of value and thankfully common among people who truly understand what liberty means. At the same time, it’s important for liberty-minded Republicans and independent-minded voters out there to consider that no person can possibly agree with them on every subject. For that reason, voting on principle sometimes requires a little more deliberation, especially in this election when the momentum of liberty counts so much on the results.

On Wednesday November 7th Can We Blame A Video…

Ten days of blaming a YouTube video for the coordinated al Qaeda terrorist attack that resulted in four dead Americans in Benghazi Libya may yet turn out to be true.  That video, or more precisely the White House cover-up, might well be the last straw that tips a significant number of voters away from Obama, … Read more

What’s 5% of 4 Billion?

Answer:  The amount of money George Lucas saves by selling Lucasfilm now instead of waiting until 2013 when the long term capital gains tax on the sale of assets held more than one year rises from 15% to 20%. And Lucas is already a liberal-hypocrite-weenie so don’t expect him to invest the difference in a … Read more

Starbucks War On Women?

I’ve never been to Starbucks but they must have some darn good coffee there. Police were summoned to the Bradenton business “by the staff at Starbucks regarding a female that was in their lobby and was masturbating.”  – Smoking Gun The woman was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia after a police officer, summoned by the … Read more

A Scary Pre-Election Government Run Health Care Update

I’m not sure I need to remind anyone of this but if we don’t let Republicans run state Government, and don’t elect Republicans to Washington, no one steps up to stop Obama Care.  The Federal health care-control apparatus, already a leviathan at the doorway, comes crashing in to our lives, never likely to leave.  There will be no going back, only tinkering with the tentacles.  Democrats want this, embrace it, and even encourage it.

And while they insist, honestly or not, that they are not trying to control life and death, this naivete can and will become our worst nightmare.

Notice us up there, in the upper right corner?

Below is a map showing the “business tax climate” in all 50 states. The worst such states are in dark blue. The best states are shown in white. Notice that there’s not one “small business friendly” state in the entire northeast? Other than New Hampshire, that is! And notice that four of the worst 10 states for small business are … Read more

IF You Can’t Take The Heat – Surround Yourself With More Bureaucrats

The Obama Czars exist to do Obama’s job. They are also there to deflect blame into the warren of unaccountable bureaucrats that have exploded around the Czars and cabinet agencies.  Bureaucrats are as nameless and faceless as the people whose lives they try to direct without fear of reprisal.  Bureaucrats don’t stand for re-election, nor do Czars.  And when trouble hits, the “elected” officials just shuffle the deck.  You are told it’s been taken care of but nothign really changes except that elections really will no longer matter.

So when Obama said he’d consider creating a new cabinet position entitled Secretary of Business, our expectations for Obama are once more met.  That’s not his job.  He’s too busy playing golf and running for office again.  And if you keep thinking it is his job, well how about another billion dollar taxpayer funded bureaucracy run by the Secretary of Business to absorb the blame.  Not Obama’s fault.  But he promises he’ll look into it.

And what?  Create another taxpayer funded bureaucrat or Czar or bureaucracy, or Blue ribbon panel to ignore as another firewall to protect him?
