Ruth Gulick – A Belknap County Democrat Morality Tale

by Steve MacDonald / 7 March 2013 26 September 2018

Democrats say the darnedest things. Take NH House Rep Ruth Gulick (D- Aesop’s Fables), whom Skip recorded at a recent Belknap county budget meeting. Ruth shared a little morality tale with those present, with regard to budgets and responsibility. In Ruth’s version the county taxpayers have a moral responsibility to the employees whom they pay. That responsibility includes ensuring that the …

Even if it Causes Americans to Suffer, Defeating Republicans is Obama’s Priority

by Don / 25 February 2013 26 September 2018

President Obama and the fawning mainstream media want you to think that the “sequester” and the harsh “sequester” cuts are being forced on him by others. These are deliberate falsehoods. The “sequester” was President Obama’s idea to pretend concern, in anticipation of his re-election campaign, for our huge deficits by agreeing to future (small, less …

More on the dreaded Sequester Numbers – Department of Defense (aka-Big Obama screw-up)

by Skip / 10 February 2013 26 September 2018

Is this the equivalent of threatening local police, firemen, and teachers? I showed the overall impact of what the Sequester will have on our current Federal budget here. As you see, the answer is almost negligible. Today on Fox was a snippet of Secretary of Defense Leon Pannetta testifying to Congress on what the Sequester …

Notable Quote: NH House Rep John Burt

by Steve MacDonald / 23 January 2013 26 September 2018

“Why are we not working on the budget and new jobs for NH. No the first thing they (NH Democrats) do is gun control for NH, raise the beer tax, vehicle registration fee increase of $30.00 to $50.00 per vehicle in your driveway, gas tax increase of 20%…”

Blood and Water – The Return of Democrat Rule in New Hampshire

by Steve MacDonald / 29 November 2012 26 September 2018

Skip broke the news (on the Grok) about New Hampshire State Government’s department heads making budget requests that would increase state spending by 26% in 2013. If you had any delusions about who or what state agencies represent, you just got your answer. It ain’t you. It’s them. In the current economy, with no regard …

Didn’t He Pledge To Cut the Deficit In Half By Now? What Went Wrong?

by Scott Morales / 23 August 2012 26 September 2018

Four years ago, President Obama said, “… I’m pledging to cut the deficit, we inherited, by half by the end of my first term in office”. (See for yourself, at about 1:30 in.) Reported today: “The Congressional Budget Office made it official today, projecting a $1 trillion-plus budget deficit for the fourth straight year”. What …

Suppose you fall in love with someone who is good looking, well groomed, and has lots of potential. Let’s say you two lovebirds decide to get married. Giddiness and joy all around…congratulations.

Ask a New Hampshire Democrat…About Taxing ‘The Rich.’

by Steve MacDonald / 8 August 2012 26 September 2018

I am willing to bet that almost every New Hampshire Democrat supports the national agenda on taxing corporations and “the rich.” To paraphrase Kyle Reese from the original Terminator movie, in regard to Democrats raising taxes… “That’s what they do. That’s all they do.” The real problem is, of course, spending, which Democrats deny. “It’s …

NH TEA Party Republicans Better At Revenue & Spending Estimates Than Democrats…Again

by Steve MacDonald / 2 August 2012 26 September 2018

I know… New Hampshire Democrats were losing sleep in hopes of some politically-beneficial revenue numbers, and guess what? They were politically beneficial….To TEA Party Republicans. The Union Leader is reporting that New Hampshire state revenues were slightly above estimates in July, with solid performances that suggest we are budgeting wisely so that the working families …
