Long story short, if the regs went into place the vitamin shelf at the store would be emptied until supplement makers submitting test results to the FDA and the products were approved. And the added for battling the bureaucracy and testing regime? You’d be paying that when they products went back on the shelf, if they did.

…why doesn’t Tom Fahey and the Union Leader clarify the groups left wing ties, it’s Democrat connections, and support for Democrat candidates. And why does Fahey, the paper’s State House Bureau Chief, only refer to Robinson as a “spokesman for the Group” and a “Carroll County Resident,” without ever letting his reader know that Robinson is also the Conway Town Democrat Party Chairman, and has an axe to grind?
Update: well, I expected to Jon Huntsman – I did. I expected to see Buddy Roemer – no show. I thought Mitt Romney was going to be present – his wife, Ann stood in for him instead. And there was just enough of a WiFi signal to get email but not live stream. We will, … Read more
Any person looking to dislodge uber-liberal Ed Markey’s superglued butt out of Congress is fine by me. And Jeff Semon is one determined guy looking to do just that. Now, the ‘Grok is pretty much a NH-centric blog so my interest was a bit piqued when it became known that Jeff was asking if we’d … Read more
The monthly Hot Air Presidential Poll is out and Herman Cain is kicking some serious ass among the conservative racists we keep hearing about. They must be feeling almost as guilty as the white liberal racist that voted for Obama.
As reported in the Union Leader Ray Buckley and the State Democrat party would like people to call members of congress and encourage them to support Mr. Obama’s tax on investors and job creators so Democrats can fund public sector union jobs and keep the dues-donations rolling in. They also support the push to defer millions in social security revenues on to the shoulders of our children, though Buckley words it differently.
The plan would cut the payroll tax that 30,000 New Hampshire small businesses pay, provide tax relief for families, funding for police, firefighters and teachers, school building improvements and transportation projects in the state.
This entire effort is another organized scam to fund unions and Democrat campaigns, in the run up to November 2012, at taxpayer expense. The payroll tax cut is a useless gesture, not a cut but a deferment, so what we have is more of the same catastrophic economic policy that has kept us in a recession and on the brink of collapse for three years now.

Earlier this week, I received a press release concerning the IRS. Now, getting a "presser" is not all that unusual, but this one was prefaced with a link back to a post I had written back in 2008 ("Sure – I’LL let the IRS do my taxes for me") where then US Senator John Sununu was advocating for a small, easier understood tax code while current US Senator Jeanne Shaheen decided that "making it easier" was not to change the underlying tax code, but laughably, to have the IRS computer your taxes for you (yeah, the agency that has had its competency shown to be suspect by having its own agents answer specific questions – and they all answer them differently).
The Presser from Stop IRS Takeover:
NEW POLL SHOWS NEW HAMPSHIRE REPUBLICANS OVERWHELMINGLY REJECT PROPOSAL TO HAVE IRS PREPARE INDIVIDUALS’ TAX RETURNS
85% of New Hampshire Republican Residents Said They Would NOT trust the IRS to Prepare Their Returns, Determine Their Refund or How Much They Owe in Taxes
WASHINGTON, D.C. Today, the Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA) released the findings of a new Public Policy Polling survey which found overwhelming opposition from voters to the expansion of the IRS’s involvement in preparing individuals’ tax returns, a potential backdoor plan to raise taxes on Americans.
The rest of the press is after the jump. Ed Black, President and CEO of the CCIA gave the ‘Grok an interview on the subject:
Why don’t you follow up on your threat, show up here like a man, and after I have turned your head into a canoe, you can tell me whether or not I’m "real"? I think this is what she had in mind….
I tried it once…and couldn’t get away from the damned prying thing. They kept reinstating it! So here, from Walt Mossberg at the Wall Street Journal yesterday, is how to to it (and they don’t make it easy at all):
Harrell is a campaign gypsy. Follows the money. But his home address is still in Jersey. Wonder if he really gives a damn about New Hampshire? Well, he is a Democrat. As long as they are paying him he’ll pretend.

Following my recent RINO OF THE WEEK report, an amused reader and friend inquired, “Isn’t the RINO one of the world’s deadliest animals? Or is that the hippo…”
Pondering this for a minute, I juxtaposed the question concerning the herbivorious, odd-toed ungulate native to Africa and parts of Asia: The “Rhinoceros”. versus Political RINO’s….an acronym for, “Republican In Name Only,”.
While “Rhinos” are related to the horse, zebra, and tapir; are known for their bad eyesight, good hearing, and mud-rolling. RINO’s, on the other hand are ambiguous about who they are related to…some show a Republican-leaning while others a full out leftist Democrat leaning. RINO-eyesight is through rose-colored glasses and instead of rolling in the mud, they sling mud. That sums it up for me, Nevertheless my response was as follows:
Seems that Ann Barnhardt has a problem with the institutionalized misogyny and slavery of Islamofascism. Doesn’t like it much at all, and she lets everyone know it on her extraordinary blog. So a jihadist has emailed and threatened to kill her. Is she scared? See for yourself in the following exchange between her and the idiot threatening her (and yes, that’s her hand, her crucifix, and her pink M-4 in the picture immediately below)….

Can you smell it? It’s called Ruck.us. Ruck.us (http://www.ruck.us) is where the independents and other political inactivists will finally be able to gather online to talk about, organize, and get involved in whatever it is they believe in. Right there at Ruck.us. Of course I thought that was what the Coffee Party was for. Then there was No Labels. In NH we have the LFODA. And don’t forget F*ck Tea. There must be room for more of these groups.
But you know what? I bet this time it is different. I bet Ruck.us is not funded by Democrats. And it probably isn’t run by some crowd of entrenched progressives, and well connected left wingers like all those other so-called non-partisan, can’t we all just get along pretenders….except…that…it is.
Both of its founders have deep roots into the Democrat Party machine.
In the Wall Street Journal today, Gary MacDougal, a former director with the United Parcel Service, suggests that it has come time—finally!—to let the government postal monopoly die and pass into history. Why?
Are you kidding me? These are the people who "saw the future" in Stalinist Russia, and said that "it worked." These are the people who defended Mao Tse Tung as "an agrarian reformer" who may have engaged in a few, limited excesses. These are the people who argue that Pol Pot and the Cambodian killing fields are some kind of right-wing falsehood. These are people who still lionize the Cuban dictator and communist murderer (but I repeat myself), Fidel Castro!
YES, liberals and other "regressives" hate and fear democracy. HERE’S WHY:
Yesterday provided another clear example of President Obama and other Democrats blaming others for their own failings. For a month Democrats have blamed Republicans for not passing President Obama’s “jobs” bill. But, yesterday when Republicans pressed for a vote on the bill, Senate Democrats prevented the vote.
President Obama lies when he blames Republicans for failure to pass a jobs bill. Even Democrats know President Obama’s bill is unacceptable, full of wasteful spending and increased taxes, intended only to give a failing President a campaign tool for fooling ignorant voters.
They are already trying to sell presumptive Democrat candidate for governor Maggie ‘The Red’ Hassan as a moderate.

On Wednesday, September 21, The New Hampshire Supreme Court heard from Kristin Ruggiero. Kristin seeks to overturn her convictions arguing that the court should have excluded a photo of her cell phone number, and an intercepted telephone conversation that served as the evidence that brought her to her current demise.
Kristin Ruggiero was sent to Jail in May of 2010, convicted of twelve counts consisting of lying and falsifying physical evidence. Kristin had tried to do what many before her have done and gotten away with: Using the court system to exact a personal vendetta against her ex-husband Jeffrey Ruggiero.
In oral arguments before the Court, Attorney Mark L. Sisti argued that the evidence used to convict Kristin should have been thrown out because it was disqualified under N.H. RSA 570-A:6 because in New Hampshire, her consent was not obtained by the parties in South Carolina to make the intercept. New Hampshire commonly referred to as a, “two party” state, requires consent of all parties before any recording may be made, while South Carolina does not. Sisti concedes that, while no crime may have been committed by the recording because the interception took place in South Carolina, A New Hampshire resident still has the expectation of privacy under the statute, and the evidence should have been excluded. Sisti essentially argues for an absolute long-arm immunity without consideration to laws of extra-territorial consequence. (Listen to the arguments HERE).
