Last week the alleged victim of Democrat State Sen. Jeff Woodburn (Woodburn is charged by the New Hampshire Attorney Generals Office with nine counts of domestic abuse), was driven from her post as the Coos County Democratic Committee chair “after her lawyer maintained she was given the choice of backing Woodburn’s election or resigning her post.” Support … Read more
If you don’t remember the name Ted Bosen, he’s the guy in some of the north country Democrat email threads I shared (here) who was offended by the way “The Party” treated an alleged victim of domestic abuse. That and the Democrat establishment wagon circling around State Sen. Jeff Woodburn, arrested on 9 counts of domestic abuse, … Read more
We’ve talked about Jeff Woodburn’s domestic assault charges. We have covered the differing responses from the Democrat Party and the faithful. The Public responses.
Behind the scenes, at least up in the North County, the victim is not viewed kindly. Politics, it appears, comes before people and these individuals are not waiting to blame the victim of Jeff Woodburn’s alleged assault if Democrats lose a State Senate Seat.

I am dismayed that the entire Coös County delegation, both Democrat, and Republican, voted for an income tax on all non-public employees, via House Bill 628, the “Family Medical Leave Insurance” bill. The only exceptions were Robert Theberge, who voted nay, Bing Judd, who didn’t vote, and Edith Tucker, who was excused.
Supporters deny that it is an income tax, but it literally requires that employers collect and remit a percentage of employees’ wages: that is the very definition of an income tax.

At the monthly meeting held on 15 May 2014, the Coos County Republican Committee became the first committee in the state to refuse to accept a donation by the Scott Brown PAC. Mr Brown, who is running for the US Senate in the primary against 3 other contenders, has donated a large sum of money through his PAC to each county committee. In the course of the meeting on Thursday, every member of the committee present was given the opportunity to discuss their views on the matter, after which a vote was taken.
Chairman Eric Catman stated ” While we understand the donation came with no strings attached, our committee must maintain total impartiality until after the primary. This impartiality must not only be maintained, but be SEEN to be maintained, and accepting this donation would have compromised that. We felt our integrity as a committee could have been called into question and so while we thank Mr Brown and his PAC for their efforts, we must respectfully decline.”

Back on December 17th, 2012 we reported here that Republican County Commissioner Tom Brady could not serve on the state committee because he publicly endorsed NH Senate District 1 candidate Jeff Woodburn. Former foes unite. Republican County Commissoner (sic) Tom Brady backs Woodburn for Senate. Since our tough race 8 years ago, Tom and I … Read more
Actually, the other Tom Brady can’t be an NH-GOP voting Committee member either but let us not get distracted.
NH-GOP Bylaws, Article 1, section 4A:
A. Any registered Republican who, at the same time joins or allows his or her name to be used in support of a political committee or a defined group of individuals, that in title or effect is intended to be understood by the public to be a committee or group comprised in whole or in part of members of the Republican Party endorsing a candidate for elected office from another political party, when there is a candidate nominated by the Republican Party for that office, shall be disqualified during the then present and the next biennium from holding an office of the State Committee or any County or City Committee, from being a member of the Executive Committee and from being a member of the State Committee.
So why can’t Republican County Commissioner Tom Brady be a voting member of the Republican State Committee?
…might want to update their web site. The elected candidates page lists their US Senators as Jeanne Shaheen and Judd Gregg. That’s a bit out of date, unless you just want to wait until we kick Shaheen out of office and you can change them both at the same time. Just trying to be helpful.
Brookfield Renewable, Granite Wind, Freshet Wind, Wanger Forrest Management and Wagner Wind Energy, all tied to Obama energy hand outs, wealthy left wing donors and investors, and who knows what else we may find.
I just wanted to let folks know that Vicki Schwaegler of TBONH is running for the above position. Having known her for a couple of years now as part of the Conservative blogosphere here in NH, she would continue to bring a "New Republican outlook" to the Party – one that says: Limited Government / … Read more
File this under “well what do you know.” Apparently, if your wife has legally posed topless on an amateur internet porn site under an anonymous name, and you happen to be running for Carroll county Sheriff, and the party chairman finds out, you may have to abandon your campaign.
