Data Point – Blue state or Red State – who is more charitable?

This is exactly what I thought it would be – the Redder, the more charitable.  Mix in the religious fervor in a state, and this chart was pretty much what I thought it should be.  For instance, New Hampshire voted for Obama in the last election – and was all Blue (Democrat, Left) in 2008.  … Read more

Obama’s Abortion Jobs Economy

Obama's Abortion Jobs Economy
When You Make A "Mistake"...We've Got You Covered

I think I have finally figured it out.  All this emphasis by Democrats on abortion?  I think we’re in for a tectonic shift in left wing economic policy.  Starting with the upcoming Democrat National Convention, the new savior for a lagging economy with 16 trillion in debt, employment erosion, a flagging GDP, and more government created debt bubbles (not to mention the trillions more in entitlement debt and the likley collapse of Medicare and social security) is…the Abortion Jobs Economy.

That’s right.  Abortion jobs will save America.

Conservatives for Obama? No, really….

I mean, I can at least see why maybe some conservatives may decide to vote for Gary Johnson, the national Libertarian Party’s Presidential candidate this year…. But then there’s Marty Begin, a   Nevada voter and “self-described conservative” quoted in today’s Wall Street Journal article about Mitt Romney. And…this guy says he’s going to vote for Obama. A “conservative”? Voting for Obama? I mean, helloooo…

GrokTV: Rochester City Council Public input on “Sustainable Communities Initiative”- Tom Flaherty

Another of the folks that spoke out against the Federal Govt’s move to further do social engineering via the Sustainable Communities Initiative / Granite State Future Plan was Tom Flaherty.  He stressed that the key entity is HUD – it gets the final say via operating through the 9 Regional Planning Commissions under contract.  One statement from them:

“Given that our State’s population  can fit within the boundaries of many of the nation’s cities, we are presented with the unique opportunity to create a truly integrated approach to planning not just in one city or region but across the State as a whole.”

Who the hell do they think they are – to view citizens as mere lab rats?  So, it is the unelected and unaccountable Planners that get to determine how our State is going to look like?  How many citizens understand this?  And the chutzpah – it seems that Planners are thinking “look at what we can do!” without never thinking “er, maybe Citizens are happy in what they are doing now?”  I guess not – Utopians never do…

Anyone Dissapointed That Annie Kuster Didn’t Ask Maggie Hassan to Drop Out?

Ann McLane Kuster - Supported by Anti-Israel J Street

It didn’t take long.  Congressional candidate Ann McLane Kuster (I call her McKluster) expressed her disappointment at Charlie Bass for having better things to do than jump in to the circular firing squad against Todd Aikn, of Missouri.

“In New Hampshire, Annie Kuster rapped one of Democrats’ top targets, GOP Rep. Charlie Bass, saying she was ‘‘disappointed’’ Bass hadn’t yet called for Akin to leave the Senate race.”

Like most desperate Democrats with no coat tails to ride in on, McKluster took out the rhetorical bat against her Republican opponent, Charlie Bass.  It is, after all, his responsibility as a congressman to denounce everything any other Republican does (or says, or can be said to be thinking…).   So by extension, where is it I can find candidate McKlusters call for Maggie Hassan to drop out of the Governors Race.

SEIU Tells You Which Republicans You Should Avoid…by Endorsing them.

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

 The SEIU has just informed Republicans who NOT to vote for.  For this, we are thankful.

The SEIU (SEA-NH), Obama’s shock troops, the same folks who beat up black conservatives ( or refuse to denounce such behavior), have endorsed the following “(r)epublicans” in New Hampshire.

In Belknap District 8, SEA/SEIU has endorsed Rep. Peter Bolster (R), of Alton.  Bolster is train wreck.  He barely votes with his own party half the time.  If you want a Republican you should be voting  for Jane Cormier, to get Bolster out of the House and with any luck, out of our Party.

The Obama Campaign Cat Burgler Pays Another Visit To New Hampshire Tax Payers

Obama campaign steals local tax dollars to pay for campaign visitsAmericans for Prosperity has some details about the cost to local towns of the most recent incursion of the Obama campaign.  Candidate Obama visited New Hampshire—in the capacity of a candidate–to reinfect the local Obama Zombie population with a fresh batch of socialist Rage Virus.  Wouldn’t want them to lose that lovin’ hope-changey, “beat Republicans with a bat,” kind of union thugocracy feeling.

As with previous candidate visits, local towns have been forced to cover any extra costs resulting from the candidates court passing through their local municipalities, even when anonymous donors rise up from the Zombie herd to make an unofficial campaign donation to cover the costs.  So how much did it cost this time around (seeing as there are no anonymous donors this time around)?

Didn’t He Pledge To Cut the Deficit In Half By Now? What Went Wrong?

Four years ago, President Obama said,  “… I’m pledging to cut the deficit, we inherited, by half by the end of my first term in office”. (See for yourself, at about 1:30 in.) Reported today:  “The Congressional Budget Office made it official today, projecting a $1 trillion-plus budget deficit for the fourth straight year”. What … Read more

Return to the 2008 Obama Campaign Strategy (Updated and Bumped-Link Added)

Obama still voting present - on answering tough questions(Link Added- Controlling the Message: None of that random messaging that might embarrass us.)

In 2008 the Obama Campaign hid or at least disguised his lack of experience or skill by controlling the message.  He did lofty speeches, and some softball interviews in the safest of places and conditions, but anything about policy–what there was of it–was recorded in a controlled environment, by Obama or a policy advocate, and posted on line.  When reporters had questions, they were directed to the appropriate video, or speech, which allowed the campaign to control the message.

The media was too in love with the cult of personality to dig any deeper than what the campaign-spin spoon fed them and the end result was the least experienced and least qualified president in American history…a guy who is good at running for office but not good at holding office.

It’s Time For A Smell Test (Update and Bumped – Democrats spent 1.5 million to elect Akin)

A Republican Candidate for the US Senate in Missouri said something stupid the other day.

“It seems to me, first of all, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare. If it’s a legitimate rape the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down,” he said.

Akin said later, in a statement, that he “misspoke,” claiming that his comments did not “reflect the deep empathy I hold for the thousands of women who are raped and abused every year.”

He’s referring to the frequency (infrequency) of unwanted pregnancies from rape, measured against his opposition to abortion.

OK.  But it sounded really stupid the first time around.

The Question For Our Time

In the historic Presidential tradition of leaving phrases imbued into the mind of the citizenry to echo for generations, one of the phrases for this era is crystallizing.  Remember Kennedy’s,  “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country”, or Reagan’s,  “Mr. Gorbachev, Tear down this wall”, … Read more

Educating With Hassan

Hassan will stand up for unions not education

Maggie “Louisville Slugger” Hassan has a banner ad running over at the Concord Monitor with the pull quote…’I’ll Stand up to anyone who wants to cut Education.’ 

This is a dirty lie.

Any effort to expand education outside that narrow corridor of Democrat political influence will be blocked.  Any existing programs that support education without government directed taxpayer dollars should expect to be cut given the chance.

But Maggie Hassan will stand up…to anyone who tries to educate their kids without public schools staffed by members of the Teachers unions (or outside of pricey private schools for the “fiscally gifted,” that are beyond the reach of all but the very wealthy).  Hassan will stand up to defend statist, top-down, government managed, public education.  She’ll stand up to spend more of your taxpayer dollars on the inefficient state university system.  And like most Democrats she will do anything and everything in her power to protect that government monopoly by cutting into or cutting off any competition.

Republican extremists: Martin Luthur King, Jr. and Barry Goldwater

Democrats today love name-calling about Republican “extremism.” I’t not getting much traction, but it does have a distinguished history. So…with a hat tip to a recent column by George Will, here’s what Dr. Martin Luthur King, Jr. had to say about “extremism.” In his “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” he wrote as follows:

Before We Get Too Deep Into The National Discussion on Rape

Note to the Democrat Party. One of the best ways to reduce violent crimes (like rape) is to support a well trained and lawfully armed populace.  Add concealed carry and now you have a populace that is unaware as to who among them is well trained and well armed.  In every instance, this reduces the … Read more
