Keep pushing. It’s what’s at stake… [H/T: Kevin N.]
NO NATIONAL HEALTHCARE! HANDS OFF OUR HEALTHCARE! NOBAMA! Remember, these are conservatives here in NH. While Live Free or Die is the state motto, the motto for many on the right could as easily be Live Free By Leaving Me The Heck Alone!

More video by Skip from the TeaParty protest rallies in Portsmouth where the One is holding court… This video was SO great!

Back in June of 2008, demonstrating powers akin to the great Karnac, I wrote in a post entitled Jeanne Shaheen- the artful dodger about some videos showing the then candidate refusing to answer questions about Card Check legislation: I know that Skip posted on this video last week, but it really can’t be shown enough, … Read more
Protesting and debating and all that. As she says, "we are Americans and we have a right to debate up and disagree with any administration…" Don’t you just love Youtube? I’ll bet politicians do, too! [H/T Jane]
Mirror mirror on the wall… Who’s the nastiest of ’em all? Warner Todd Huston alerts us to a story of a Democratic party chair "engaging" in the ongoing healthcare debate.

AARP members attending a "forum" apparently decided that they weren’t just going to fall in line like good little automatons and support the nationalization of health care.

I cannot wait until Judd Gregg "serves" his last day in Washington… This just in from Leslie Carbone via the email, under the subject heading Sotomayer confirmed: Empathetic Republicans: Alexander; Bond; Collins; Graham; Gregg; Lugar; … Read more
You won’t catch me, my little pretties! Heheeheheee! After being billed in an email by a well-financed (read: "astroturfed") Democrat activist network as a town hall event featuring Jeanne Shaheen, not only did the Senator not show, as reported earlier, it turns out that it wasn’t a "town hall" style meeting, either. Can’t they just make up … Read more
Again from our friends at the ALG:
NH Democratic Party Chair Ray Buckley Using what could be best described as an "ugly" term for someone in the chairman’s position in one of the mainstream political parties here in New Hampshire, Democrat leader Ray Buckley shows signs of becoming completely unhinged in the face of the groundswell of anti-socialized health care sentiment.

NH Leadership, Democrat style:
NH Dems "attacking" budget woes with great vigor… The NHGOP rightfully pans the great "leadership" we are witnessing by Gov Do-Nuthin’ Lynch and his fellow majority Democrats: CONCORD – Six days after a Superior Court ruling blocked the attempted theft of $110 million from the New Hampshire Medical Malpractice Joint Underwriting Association (JUA), Governor John … Read more
