EPPING: Dem Candidate ‘Opens Office’ for $100/year NH House Seat

August 20, 2019August 20, 2019

by Kimberly Morin

Something really strange flew across the Twitterverse yesterday. A candidate running in a special election in Epping for state representative actually opened an ‘office.’ If you don’t know anything about New Hampshire politics, this many not seem odd to you but if you DO know anything about New Hampshire politics, you know just how ODD … Read more

NH Needs Two New Conservative Congressmen – Carol, You Can Quote Me On That!

September 27, 2018September 13, 2018

New Hampshire has been represented for some time in Congress by several hard-left leaning Democrats. That can change with the upcoming election in District 1 and District 2. It is an historic chance to put an end to having two Nancy Pelosi hand puppets reciting CNN talking points when they should be engaged in serious business on behalf of the State of New Hampshire.

Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter Grasps in Desperation for Relevance Before Retiring

September 26, 2018July 20, 2018

by Steve MacDonald

Congress has plenty of vestigial structures but were any of them ever as useless as “retiring” lame-duck congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter?

She not only did nothing to protect our children from the national debt she played a part in doubling it. The government not only got further into our bedrooms under her watch they stormed into our doctor’s offices as well. Her commitment to the environment and green energy saw billions shuffled off to cronies or just flushed down the drain through waste fraud and abuse.

Did she do anything useful?

New Hampshire Democrats Demand More Money For A Problem They Don’t Want to Solve

September 26, 2018April 19, 2018

by Steve MacDonald

New Hampshire is getting another $3.1 Million to combat the opioid crisis. US News is reporting that New Hampshire’s All Gurl Delegation, Democrat x four, says it is not enough.

New Hampshire’s delegation had urged President Donald Trump’s administration to revise the formula used to allocate funding so it prioritizes states like New Hampshire that are hardest hit by the crisis. But that didn’t happen.

This coming from a gaggle of progressive geese with no real interest in solving “the problem.”

Carol Shea-Porter: The Federal Governments Representative To New Hampshire CD- 1

September 26, 2018May 17, 2013

by Steve MacDonald

I have long and often argued that Democrats, New Hampshire’s variety in particular, favor the top down model of governance. The power and the resources (money) must descend from the point farthest from the person who is taxed for the privilege of being governed by progressives.

A prime example or proof of this “theory” is the desire to “get back” tax dollars from Washington DC. Democrats argue that we need representatives to go to Washington who will work hard to get back the money we send to the nations capital as federal taxes. But they have it exactly backwards. We send representatives to the nations capital to do everything in their power to keep the money in New Hampshire in the first place.

The contrast between the two could not be more stark.

Shaheen Received Money from IRS Employees Union

September 26, 2018May 17, 2013

Open Secrets identifies the National Treasury Employees Union, which covers the IRS, as Liberal. Go figure?

They only donate to Democrats, which includes New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen, according to this recent press release…

Senate Democrats received more than $570,000 from IRS Union

Washington, D.C. – This week news broke that Senate Democrats were guilty of pressuring the IRS to target many of the conservative groups that the embattled agency now stands accused of doing. But, a closer look reveals further evidence of Jeanne Shaheen’s feigning outrage: Shaheen was reaping the benefits from Democrats’ close relationship with the IRS, receiving $5,000 from the IRS Employees Union.

“While Democrats were pushing the IRS to target conservatives and other political enemies, their campaigns benefited from more than half a million dollars in campaign contributions from the IRS union,” said NRSC Communications Director Brad Dayspring. “After years of pressuring the IRS to crackdown on their political opponents, Jeanne Shaheen and her Democratic colleagues must be honest with taxpayers and return the IRS union’s contributions immediately.”

Senator Shaheen has been backtracking, back-peddling, disavowing any partisanship on the 501(c)(4) IRS scandal, but given how partisan she is, that’s hard to swallow. you’d be hard pressed to find her supporting the rights of TEA party groups anywhere, let alone New Hampshire.

So would you be surprised to know that she isn’t the only hyper-partisan New Hampshire Democrat who has taken issue with third party issue advocacy and targeted TEA Party groups (though not in writing to the IRS–that we are aw are of) and has also taken money from their union.

Carol Shea-Porter: too bright to be that stupid to get it wrong on background checks; so what is it?

September 26, 2018May 5, 2013

by Skip

On WMUR Channel 9’s Closeup this morning, Congressman Carol Shea-Porter (D-NH CD-1) decided that she was going to talk about gun control at gun shows and certainly made it clear that NO background checks happen at gun shows. Well, she may not be the brightest bulb in the lot, but she’s not the dimmest (damning with faint praise: that would go to Congressman Hank “Guam might tip over” Johnson before CSP could rise to take the prize), but one of these is true:

Maybe I HAVE judged her brightness wrongly?
Perhaps she is subject to that line “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt”
She is lying (employing the Saul Alinsky principle that “In the beginning the organizer’s first job is to create the issues or problems”?)

So, what is wrong? And where is she lying?

I Think She’d Say Something like this, Harrell!

September 26, 2018April 26, 2013

by Steve MacDonald

Yesterday morning hapless Harrell ‘Jersey Shore’ Kirstein (The New Hampshire Democrat Propaganda Minister) tweeted this.

PPP is left leaning and always suspect, with a tendency to over-sample for favorable Democrat outcomes, but maybe HK was just looking for a silver lining seeing as the UNH Poll, albeit with a smaller sample, came out with some contradictory results he chose NOT to share.

New Hampshire’s junior senator, Republican Kelly Ayotte, has also seen her favorability rating largely unchanged since February. Currently, 50% of New Hampshire adults have a favorable opinion of Ayotte, 25% have an unfavorable opinion of her, 9% are neutral and 16% don’t know enough about her to say. Ayotte’s net favorability rating is +25%, up from +23% in February. Her net favorability remains high among Republicans at +74% and low among Democrats where it is at -21%. Her net favorability rating among Independents has also stayed steady at +38%.

Emphasis mine… because in the UNH poll she owns Republicans, and most importantly …with independents she is +38. No point in sharing that, eh Harrell. But while we’re ‘sharing, that UNH poll had some other important news that might be of even greater concern to Democrats like Kirstein, given that Ayotte is not facing re-election next year and New Hampshire’s two Democrat congress-critters are.

New Hampshire Democrat Women! How Do You Think Live Birth Abortions Should Be Performed?

September 26, 2018April 17, 2013

by Steve MacDonald

No point in beating around the bush. Kermit Gosnell has put live birth abortion front and center and so should we. It is a thoroughly documented fact that this is something that a number of prominent Democrat women in New Hampshire support. Democrat leaders in the state and the Democrat party support it. So we should explore this support to learn more about it.

It is reported that Gosnell, who performed many live birth abortions, would take the crying newborns and snip their spines to kill them. But that is not necessarily the way every abortion doctor kills newborn babies, so we should pose the question to those in the New Hampshire Democrat party who not only support the practice but enrich their political careers because of it.

To the Democrat women in New Hampshire that support this practice…do you believe that Gosnell’s method–severing the infants spine at the neck– is the best way to kill a baby or do you prefer another?

If you prefer some other method of killing them, what is it? We know you support it. So speak up.

Carol Shea-RUNAWAY!

Rep-Carol-Shea-Porter - I missed voting with Pelosi 100% by this much — I came this close to having to answer a question no one had given me the answer to

Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter continues to endear herself to her constituents by running away from questions she has not been taught how to answer. Today’s example comes from Citizens for a Strong New Hampshire…

(Manchester – April 2, 2013) Yesterday afternoon at a local senior center, Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter (NH-01) repeatedly avoided questions on two important issues that, if implemented, would severely impact Granite Staters.

Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter (Progressive-NH) blows off constituent concerns; deja vu all over again?

September 26, 2018March 16, 2013

by Skip

Heck, I’m still waiting for her to fulfill her promise that she made to me during her first time in Congress – so why am I not surprised? After all, back in 2008 she told a Republican woman, a member of one of NH’s “main Republican families”, to her face that “You are not my constituent” because of her party affiliation (even though she lived in Carol SEIU-Porter’s district). Well, another loyal reader has had a run in with Carol Shea-Porter’s cubicle minions – here is the sordid tale of trying to get a simple answer to a simple question on drones:

So, last week, I made a few phone calls to our “representatives” in DC. My concern was the possibility of drone strikes on any America citizen deemed a “terrorist” ON American soil. Well, as you well know, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, many of the Tea Party affiliated folks are considered “terrorists.” Shocking? You bet! But fact. Anyhow, I called Kelly’s office and was assured she would not be supporting anything such as this act which could strike someone without due process, no trial, no defense … etc. I called Sen. Shaheen’s office and spoke to a nice young woman who said that she would give my thoughts to the Senator. (Sorry, I actually did get the names of the people I spoke to at the Senators’ offices, but I have misplaced that note at this point.) Then I called Ms. Shea-Porter’s office, where I was confronted with a less-than-cordial young woman staffer. When I told her that I wanted to know where Ms. S-P stood on the drone strike on American soil issue, the girl acted as though she knew nothing about it. I asked her to ask the Congresswoman please stand up for the Constitution, and support our rights, since this arbitrary way of using drones on American soil on American people was a complete contradiction of our Constitutional rights to a fair trial and due process. She started laughing. I was outraged. I hung up.

Below is the letter I received today in answer to my phone call.

Anwar Al-Awlaki????? Really???? A form letter? Oh goody. If it’s not her sending them, it’s Jeanne Shaheen. How very personal. And my name is misspelled. This has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with what I called for. Argh. To deal with this situation for another 2 years!

Shea-Porter Promotes Air Traffic Controller Sequester Scare But Ignores FAA Waste on One-Percenters

September 26, 2018March 12, 2013

Shea-Porter on potential FAA cuts at Manchester airport

Democrat Carol Shea-Porter, the Democrat parties “narrative mule” for congressional district one in New Hampshire, has a link on her official “I’m Your Congresswoman!” Facebook page. Shea-Porter’s status update simply says “Control towers at airports such as Manchester’s could be left unstaffed by budget cuts.”

Unstaffed! Holy Air traffic controller-less tower Batman!

The link provided with this ‘news’ leads to a story at NECN about how the airport tower in Manchester, New Hampshire is on the list of candidates in New England that could lose it’s midnight shift as a result of some $600 million dollars in cuts to the FAA budget as a result of Barack Obama’s sequester. That would be the sequester that the White house and Democrats arm-twisted the House into passing (with Democrat support), and has since decided to blame them for in its entirety.

Carol, the dutiful Democrat sheep that she is, has happily toed the assigned narrative without regard to the veracity of its claims, but someone might want to tell her a few things about how much DOT, and more specifically the FAA, requests annually in its budget, and how much of that massive sum gets wasted on what the FAA itself calls “low priority spending.”

Ask Democrat Carol Shea-Porter About Vaccines For New Hampshire Kids

September 26, 2018March 9, 2013

by Steve MacDonald

Back on February 26th, in the midst of the blame Republicans for Obama’s Sequester narrative, New Hampshire District One Congressperson Carol Shea-Porter tweeted this.

The sequester would automticlly cut 30 million dollars from the section 317 program run by the CDC that sends money to states to support vaccination programs.

Carol thought you might want to know, probably after someone told her to tell you, that cutting 30 million from the Section 317 program would be, like, bad.

So if cutting 30 million would be bad, would cutting almost 60 million be almost twice as bad?

Hypocrisy from the left is always on my radar and let me tell you–my radar is always beeping. Take this for example. Just imagine if former Senator John Sununu (or any man anywhere) had said this…

Keep the New Hampshire Delegation in men’s hands.

I can smell the tar boiling from here. So who has the feathers?

But it is perfectly acceptable for Daily Kos to lead it’s fawning article about New Hampshire’s female delegation with this.

We should re-elect Senator Shaheen because she is a woman?

Obamacare and the IRS – such a cute couple

September 26, 2018October 8, 2012

by Skip

So much for Democrats wanting to protect your privacy – I guess, like all of the anti-war protesters when Bush was President, the privacy advocates have all gone silent in support of The Won. It just goes to show that for almost all Progressives, it’s all for show – if they truly believed in what they have told us, they’d be marching on DC. Much time and energy has been spent on the Individual Mandate and the IPAB (aka “the death panels”). Well, here’s a part that I didn’t know – or realize:

The IRS will also determine who is eligible for taxpayer-financed subsidies to purchase health care on the exchanges that will be set up in every state. Anytime anyone’s situation changes — a raise, a new job, a move to another state — that person will be required to report it to the IRS for the purpose of recalculating their eligibility.

Got that?? Generally when you have a serious change in life, and you have to report that event to…Mom. Or Dad. Or some other loved one or friends.

So, what have the Democrats wrought here? That’s right – just ONE MORE STEP in having Government be your family (like it or not). So, how’s that gonna feel – literally having a brand new Big Brother (again, brought to you by Democrats as not one Republican voted for this Liberty crushing, 2700 page fiasco. Why is it beginning to feel like it should be called not Obamacare but ObamaBigBrother or ObamaJail ? How’s it feel to now know that the IRS is now an intimate member of your family? Now that you’ve gone “all growed up”, Democrats like President Obama and Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and (at the time of Obamacare passage) Carol Shea-Porter (D-NH) and Hodes(D-NH) decided that you STILL needed a set of parents – and they thought it just a dandy idea that it be the folks that “touch” you every April 15th (there has to be a Democrat joke in there somewhere…)

Carol Shea-Porter (Sheep-Porter, SEIU-Porter, Shea-Pelosi, Clown-Porter, etc), whose claim to fame is that she could have voted with Nancy Pelosi 100% of the time had she not missed 2% of the votes, is dutifully regurgitating the party line in New Hampshire in her 2012 effort to earn another two year-long conjugal visit with your wallet–She is running to save New Hampshire from the Tea Party.

One really big problem with that though… while The TEA Party rose up when the Democrat spending binge began, their real claim to fame is opposing ObamaCare. Oh, and driving a national movement that kicked Carol Shea- Porters ObamaCare supporting, tax and spend, backside back to Rochester New Hampshire where it should stay.
