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.
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
Given the news that Democrat State Senator Matt Houde (D-State Senate District 5) became a paid lobbyist for the states largest health care provider in October on 2011, I am beginning to wonder how many health care or insurance related vote he made in the 2012 session of the New Hampshire State Senate that could … Read more
Here’s a real winner from Minnesota. State party Democrats are trying to convince Legislator Kerry Gauthier not to run for re-election in his reliably Democrat district. Gauthier, 56, had consensual oral sex with a 17 year old boy at a rest stop in Duluth back in July. (The age of consent for such matter appears to be 16 in Minnesota.) Gauthier, also a Democrat, has caught local party leadership with their pants down–they want him to drop out of his race as soon as possible.
Their point seems to be that this is inappropriate conduct for two males above the age of consent, and that it is a distraction. But I though the Democrat Party line was that consensual sex between any two consenting “adults” was a right (and their own damn business)…no matter what kind of sex it was? So what the hell just happened?
From Hot Air. …Norah O’Donnell took Obama to task this morning for his attempt to distance himself from the personal attack run by his former White House aide Bill Burton, which blamed Mitt Romney for the death of a woman whose husband had been laid off years earlier from a Bain-owned steel plant, long after … Read more
Obama's been Leaving behind messes for others to pick up...Since Day 1
Obama is the campaigner in chief, breaking records for the number of campaign stops and fundraisers he’s made so far, all over America. He’s also breaking records for the amount of money he is costing the places he travels too for these campaign events. And neither he, nor his campaign, nor the DNC, are interested in paying the costs incurred by local communities as a result.
After a long battle with various health issues, it pains me to report that Howard Dilworth has passed away. Howard was a long time taxpayer advocate with the coalition of New Hampshire Taxpayers and a compendium of knowledge on a wide range of topics related to New Hampshire law and politics in general. He will … Read more
So here we have admitted evidence of vote fraud in one college town in one year, but not prosecuted. Just like Governor Lynch’s so-called awesome (and impossibly low) High School drop out rate, if you want to make something go away without actually doing anything about it, you ignore it, hide it, re-define it, or simply find enough people who might benefit from it to make it legal.
And while stuffing local ballot boxes with the votes of out of state residents was not new, making it legal made it easier for Democrats to continue to get the votes while reducing significant neck strain from state officials and Democrat party hacks having to look the other way.
Gallup reports that 56% of Swing State voters do not believe they are better off than they were four years ago, rising from an Obama low of 54% but not yet nearing the Oct/Nov 2011 high of 60%. A majority of those claiming they are not better off blame Mr. Obama, but not by a lot. Plenty of blame for both Obama and Bush, with some still only blaming Bush.
So when the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire (Disclosure- I am on the RLCNH board), asked Senator Houde to step down from the Joint Health Care Reform Oversight Committee (not knowing that he was a paid lobbyist), you might be surprised to learn why?
The problem is simple. Decisions Houde will make on the committee will have a direct effect on his employer, Dartmouth-Hitchcock. Decisions that could result in a massive expansion of Medicare, which given DHMC’s near monopoly in the Granite State, would ensure it access to millions of taxpayer dollars, a fraction of which could then be used to continue to pay Houde between $76,482.00 dollars to as much as $104,957.00 dollars for being a senior community communications specialist with DHMC.
The premise of the book is that Obamacare was just a big ploy to unionize the estimated 16-17 million strong healthcare workforce (12.5% of US workers, 17% of US GDP/economy – projected to reach 20%), and that by proposing an acceptable plan for nationalized/unionized healthcare, the union got behind Obama in the election of 2008, helping him win the Presidency.
But by the looks of this, Obamacare wasn’t just about healthcare, in the same way that “sustainability” isn’t just about the environment…
Waving the job requirement for welfare seems like a natural extension of the Obama Economic plan. Make sure there are no jobs, keep people dependent on government. And now he can blame the states…who are suffering under every other yoke he has placed upon them in three in half years. Hey, maybe he’ll send Biden … Read more
If you’ve never heard Dinesh D’Souza speak before, catch him here, speaking to CPAC 2012 (speech begins @ 2:00). He’s a brilliant, articulate author, President of The King’s College, and now his book, Obama’s America, has been made into a movie, that shows what America would look like, in 2016, in the fallout of a … Read more
New Hampshire is not California. We are not California because with the exception of 2007-2010, we try to avoid letting Democrats run the entire state government. (We’re also not Massachusetts for that same reason.) And this is good, because while Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick has now implemented “cost controls” for Healthcare providers in his state, guaranteeing(long term) less access, longer waits and poorer service, California is a bloody disaster.
The tax and spend, unsustainable pension and benefits, land of environmental extortion, saw sales tax revenue drop 33.5% last month. While but one small part of the problem that is “California” all the problems can be linked directly to things that New Hampshire Democrats want you to experience right here in the Granite State.
At the end of the evening, there was one more person speaking in their own defense for their candidacy in a NH House race, and that was Harry Accornero in District 9. He spoke alone as his opponent, Glen Dewhirst, was a no show for the evening. Then, Dr. Chuck Fink was introduced as a write in candidated. Finally, a number of folks were allowed to speak to introduce themselves to the room’s activists even though they are not worrying about the primary – they go right to the general election. At the end, Alan just opened up the rest of the evening as an Open Mic session.
The story doesn’t say if her husband was not around, no husband, boyfriend, or anything else. Just her and her children. The great Equalizer? Nope, not the gun, although that certainly played the role. It is, however, her attitude
The last of the contested primaries here in NH’s Belknap County is that in NH House District 8: Jane Cormier and Peter Bolster.
Jane is a Conservative firebrand and is working hard to learn what is needed and working hard on her campaign. Our interview series with Jane ended here (see the Previous videos on the post for the earlier questions). She would be a breath of fresh air compared to her opponent.
Speaking of which, Peter Bolster, IMHO, is a Democrat registered as a Republican (and has publicly said as much in the past). We have written extensively on his dismal record as a republican in the NH House votes
it is sad (and maddening) that there are Democrats that are more in line with the Republican Platform than he is. In fact, I had a question to ask at the meeting and I followed the protocol of the meeting and wrote down my question and submitted it (after the jump).
“Independent” voter in the House? really? I will admit, he’s got chutzpah – he can’t possibly run using “Independent” in persuading most Republicans in the know concerning his actual record (which he did not go into). Read that again, look at some of the links, and it is easily seen that he has earned his title: RINO. What else do you call a Republican that consistently votes against the Republican Platform…..oh wait -> Democrat!
Mr. Klick points out that about half the reusable bags of shoppers heading in for more groceries have some form of contamination, and that the human cost could be a doubling in the number of cases of food borne illness in humans and even death as a result.
