‘Or we Could have had a cure for Ebola‘ might have to ask ‘If you like your plan you can keep your plan’ to slide over a bit so it can sit next to it on the Democrat bench of all time classic talking-point blunders.  We are referring to that Democrat rhetoric by which Republican spending priorities (as in spending less) is WHY we do not already have a cure for Ebola–something that had to blow up in their faces.

Democrats wasted trillions.  TRILLIONS.  Jeanne Shaheen and company had their way with more than 21 trillion dollars, nearly doubling the debt to 17.9 Trillion in just six years.

From Big Government: Stephanopoulos will be hosting Thursday night’s debate between former Sen. Scott Brown and Shaheen, despite this conflict—he’s on video as a political activist accepting Shaheen’s endorsement of President Clinton—and another conflict. As Breitbart News reported on Tuesday, Stephanopoulos has a longtime personal and political relationship with Shaheen campaign adviser Mandy Grunwald.

Remember that – asking Romney about States Rights’ and whether or not they could take away contraceptives?  Certainly a “Democrat with a by-line”; that was the opening shot of the “War on Women” and Georgie as the point of the spear of the Democrat Party that night during the 2008 Republican Prez debates.  Planned, executed, ambush complete – a meme that the Dems are still using.  And as a “journalist”, he executed what the Democrat Party wanted – after all, he was Clinton’s Whiz Kid in the White House and once political, always political.

Or, that would be Dr. Elliot Lasky.  You know, the husband of current (at the time, former) NH State Senator Bette Lasky – the guy that was caught redhanded pulling up Republican campaign signs (Steve had the news here, here, and here)?

Well, he has a counterpart in Delaware – except there, the police are actually following the law and are trying to arrest his butt:

Police in Middletown, Delaware, issued an arrest warrant for the husband of state Sen. Bethany Hall-Long on Wednesday after he was caught on video allegedly stealing campaign signs put up by Republicans.  The suspect, identified as Dana Armon Long, has been charged with a Class A misdemeanor for theft under $1,500. He faces up to one year in prison and a fine of up to $2,300.

On Wednesday, Republican campaign volunteers reportedly set up a camera at the location in Middletown where dozens of their political signs kept disappearing. Some of the signs apparently read, “Fix the Economy! Vote Republican.”

“We got you, brother! We got the license plate, your face, and everything,” one of the volunteers says in the video.

Update [ by Skip] : Originally posted 8/19/14.  I won’t accept it from Dems so I CERTAINLY am not going to accept from a Republican, so I have bumped this post as well.  Steve rightly comments on the flip-flop

*******************

Walt Havenstein is confused.

On WMUR’s Close Up this past weekend, with regard to Medicaid Expansion, NH gubernatorial candidate Walt Havenstein said…

“We have to fix that. …I don’t want to kick it down the road…come January 2017, under our current law, that program is going to sunset, that means a lot of people who started off in that program are going to not have that benefit. We can’t have that.”

But just a month ago, at the Belknap County Republican Committee Meeting, Mr. Havenstein was asked about this and Walt (can I call you Walt?) told a room full of Republicans that he would Veto Medicaid Expansion.

Video?  As a matter of fact we do have video of that…

Update: Originally posted 8/19/14.  I won’t accept it from Dems so I CERTAINLY am not going to accept from a Republican.  Once again, Havenstein has flipped on this issue and he said it again during the NH1 / WBIN debate earlier this week.  “Veto” said to Rs, “fix it” to other audiences.  Trust?

*****

He said it – we just report it.  Well, Steve has certainly put the Character of Walt Havenstein to the test, begging the operative question:  “When were you lying, sir; to the BCRC audience or to the WMUR (CloseUp) one”?

YOU CAN’T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS! A John Kerry moment “He was against it before he was for it”? Walt Havenstein has just said the opposite thing to different audiences – utilizing the old time politics? Does he think us all that stupid that he thought he could get away with it?  Decide for yourself:

Me?  I always found it easier to just tell the truth than trying to remember what I said to who…..  Longer version for more context:

Citizens for a Strong NH has some new video (after the jump) in which Congressperson Carol Shea-Porter says she supports an all of the above energy plan, then explains why (despite that) she still opposes the Keystone XL Pipeline.

Why?

1) It’s From Canada.

2) The Koch Brothers.

Somewhere a village is missing its idiot.

If ever you needed an example of just how ignorant, disconnected from reality, and partisan Democrat Carol Shea-Porter is, this is it, and here’s why.
