Come to Our Table, O Democrats of NH

Hello Granity Dems,

November 8, 2022, is voting day for NH Governor, all NH legislators. Executive Council, Sheriffs, and the Washington DC positions of Senator and two Reps. The current situation is a bit odd — Repubs have the governorship and a majority of both state legislative chambers, but Dems have all three federal seats.

I am here to discuss those three seats with you. Have you been satisfied with the two reps, Chris Pappas in District 1 and Ann Kuster in District 2? Of course, I don’t know your taste, but I can tell you that both those persons are, historically, unimpressive. I say this because each of them always follows the leader.

A member of the US House of Reps gets an annual base salary of $174,000. This costs the taxpayers of the US a total of 75 million bucks a year. ($75,690,000 to be exact). But if all Dems are following Nancy Pelosi’s instructions, why bother to pay them? We could just pay Nancy her $174,000 and let Pappas and Kuster stay home in NH, giving them, say, a $5,000 honorarium per year. I mean, what good did their presence do, in Washington, if the outcome of every vote they cast was set in concrete in advance?

Granted, a lot of Repubs follow the leader (if you could call Mitch a leader — retch!), but not to that ridiculous extent.

Dems, we want you to put Karoline Leavitt, age 25, into Chris Pappas’ seat and Bob Burns into Ann Kuster’s seat. I think US Army General Don Bolduc (ret) is going to get Maggie Hassan’s senate seat. She is spending megabucks on ads, but in each ad she looks like she doesn’t really want the job. Have you noticed that?

Also, the ads are about her saving money for you.. One senator does not have that effect. The other day I heard Sen Hassan say “I passed a law that lowered the price of [something or other].” She sure didn’t PASS a law. The entire Congress passes a law. Oh well, I’m being picky.

You want to talk about saving money? Do you know that Congress paid billions, in advance, to the manufacturers of vaccines so they could compete for the prize? Yes. It’s true. Moderna, Pfizer, and other hopefuls were paid to hurry up and produce a vaccine.

Turns out later that they had had that vaccine already on the shelf from away back. And it’s not a vaccine; it’s a gene-alterer. Oops, best not to get me started on that. I just want to say that Kuster, Pappas, and Hassan could have said to the contenders “You want to be paid for a chance to make kazillions on gullible Americans? Get lost.”

I’d also like to ask you to make a concession for my personal sake. Please eschew, abjure, and otherwise throw overboard the whole business of enmity. In my opinion, Trump was divisive. I thought I would die when he ordered the Muslim ban. But with Biden, it’s like his “advisors” come around every night after supper to instruct him on a new range of subgroups that he can stir up. Where’s the love?

The reason I said, please do that for my sake is not that I’m a Muslim. I’m strictly RC. But the dissension is killing me. It is depriving me of my ability to wax poetic about Ah-meh-rih-cah.

Are you old enough to remember when we loved those rocks and rills? [thy] woods and templed hills? My heh-art wi-ith rapture thrilled, but not anymore.

I’m very worried about the 87,000 new agents that Treasury has hired to help IRS collect taxes. You know they won’t be helping collect taxes — that can be done by emptying your bank account electronically. The new guys will be armed, which means they will be trained to shoot. Oh, did you just walk away because I made you think of guns?

Let’s talk about that. I know that Dems are good at worrying about street shootings. Repubs have a different focus. It is on the “guns from the top.” The Second Amendment is no joke. You should develop some allegiance to it.

Instead of reading the actual words: “A well regulated militia, being necessary for the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed,” just replace with “Excu-use me, federal agent. I did not invite you into my home. So like Sayonara, buddy, and I mean business.”

Please give “democrat” a good name. Think “republican.” Tick these boxes on November 8: Karoline Leavitt, Bob Burns, and Don Bolduc.
