After many months of apparently keeping a fairly low profile, Laconia City Councilor Henry Lipman has recently fielded a letter to the editor in the Laconia Daily Sun (also known as Pravda by The Lake) commending and endorsing the incompetent and inept management by Belknap Delegation Chair State Rep Harry Bean of the Belknap County … Read more

So Belknap County’s “Republican” Mike Bordes Is Either Upset That His Poor Voting Record Has Been Outed – Or He Doesn’t Care a Whit

Spec’s RINO Report is here and it listed the top 10 RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) using a formula that picks out Republicans (ahem!) State Reps that vote counter to the majority of Republicans on a given bill. It’s not emotional, it’s just about the numbers. Bordes had a reaction to my posting and I … Read more

Breaking: So NOW Belknap Delegation Chair Harry Bean Calls For Another Meeting – but Fairly Authoritarian & Rigid Rules, Wouldn’t You Agree?

Update: another little birdie has said “Harry didn’t write that email – he doesn’t write that well. Somebody ghostwrote it for him” and has suspicions.”. Either way, the above title still stands as his signature is on it. And he was just a bad boy in another way, too!

Belknap’s Republican “Extremists” Should Embrace it Just Like We did Back in 2010

In the run-up to the 2010 wave election that wiped Obamacrats out of the US House and in state legislatures across the country, NH Dems tried to label Republican candidates as extremists. So, what’s happening to the Belknap County Delegation is just more of the same, and like in 2010, they should embrace it.
