The mayor is deceiving all Nashua residents on the Charter Change he wants to make for the Police Commissioners. Keeps telling residents that Nashua should have local control however Nashua already has local control.

Did Crony Politics Land 21 CCLC “White Privilege” Program Director Tom McGee His Job in Manchester?
Today I opened my email to find a letter of resignation from Don Concannon who is the Site Coordinator in the Manchester School District. Needless to say, it’s pretty explosive.
They are Sneaking Federal Medical Price Controls into the China Virus Bill
We all understand at this point Congress likes to use bad news to hide the passage of bad policy. Make bad policy into law and the damage becomes nearly irreversible. Some elected officials are trying to attach medical price control to the China Virus bill. This builds socialism and cronyism into our legal and regulatory system.

Well, it would put one thing to rest – New Hampshire as the First in The Nation (“FITN”) Primary State. Second, as I have said for years, the FITN primary really distorts the political “marketplace” as the locals start falling all agog over themselves with all of the Bright and Shiny Objects waltzing into NY. … Read more

“Why is the City subsidizing a private company at below market lease rates at the Community Center??“ Unlike most of the folks that went to Tuesday nite’s Rochester (NH) City Council that were there to berate the Councilors and Mayor TJ Jean for expending taxpayer monies in supporting President Obama’s campaign stop or to plead … Read more
Another Bad Week For Obama – Solyndra Knocked on The West Wing Door
Bad Jobs numbers, people entering the workforce can’t find employment…and hey, it looks like Obama’s Chief of Staff Bill Daley was briefed about Solyndra’s impending demise six months before it happened and before the White House approved the loan restructuring. So the White House knew about the impending failure, and decided that the major PR … Read more
Obama and the GM bailout….tax per car?
by Skip
I was at a meeting of the Lakes Region Porcupines earlier today(mostly Libertarians – I am the "token Conservative of the group; heh!) and someone mentioned taxes and something to the effect of "and how would you like to pay $40K of taxes on a $20K car". I immediately thought of the GM bailout that … Read more
Doodlings from Occupy NH – 4 – A working definition of Crony Capitalismn argument for “negative liberties”
by Skip
One of the things that Conservatives MUST be concerned with is ALWAYS the vocabulary – what a word, like Freedom, to means to a Conservative is not the same as it does to a Liberal. Once again, from the Occupy NH forum (hey, what better way to advocate for Conservatism (with small "L" libertarianism leanings!) … Read more

Stonyfield CEO In Line For Another Pile of Taxpayer Cash?
>The question should not be if Stonyfield Dairy CEO and prolific Democrat donor Gary Hirshberg gets another pile of taxpayer cash, it should be “how much is he going to get?” But whatever do I mean?
The University of New Hampshire has just been approved to receive a Department of Agriculture grant totaling $2.86 million dollars to “enhance the year-round capacity of northeast organic dairy producers to produce high quality component-enriched organic milk.”
Hirshberg is almost always on the receiving end of taxpayer funded public largesse. In August of 2010 he was awarded $100,000.00 by Democrat Governor John Lynch and the State of New Hampshire as part of a job training program.
Not long after Stonyfield was fingered by Senator Tom Coburn over the matter of a $700,000.00 Federal grant to the University of New Hampshire to study the environmental impact of organic dairy farms on the environment. Who do you think just happens to have an organic Dairy Farm? An organic dairy farm run by the Hirshberg’s but majority owned by Dannon /Group Danone, one of the largest food companies on the face of planet earth.
How big is Danone?
MAGGIE “THE MARXIST” HASSAN IS RUNNING
by Rick Olson
“Ask anyone committed to Marxist analysis how many angels on the head of a pin, and you will be asked in return to never mind the angels, tell me who controls the production of pins.” —Joan Didion
Defeated Democratic state Senator Maggie Hassan made it official today that she will be running for governor in 2012. In her usual hokum, Hassan touted the typical big government solution to prop up the economy. As reported in the Union Leader, Maggie the Marxist, “stressed the need to create jobs by “investing” in education and job training programs and by fostering a business climate that attracts innovative small businesses and new technologies.” Translation: “investing” equals big-government spending and solutions…equals heavy taxation to raise such revenues. Such notions were brought with her as a carpet-bagging “massplant” to the Granite State.
The Union Leader reported that “Maggie the Marxist” pledged to be a fiscally responsible governor who would veto any sales or income tax and commit herself to a balanced state budget.“ This is laughable given her extensive record as a State Senator. My fellow Blogger Steve MacDonald absolutely nailed it on back October 5th when he wrote:
Hassan is a left wing, government first, spend then tax Democrat who wants socialized medicine, supports abortion from conception to birth (also here), and was more than willing to trample on opponents with the “Sullivan/Hassan Hates Speech (the left can’t control) amendment.” (also here, and here, …) She is also willing to lie about her opponents to get re-elected.
The Shrill Kathy Spins the Early Primary Notion
by Rick Olson
“I think it’s your own choice if you turn from an angry young man to a bitter, old bastard.” —Billie Joe Armstrong
In yet another Cacophonous rant from the “Shrill Kathy” The Union Leader gave her space and ink yesterday to tell readers “why” a December primary will benefit Democrats and hurt Republicans. But, the title is about the only thing she got right and the remaining 782-word pablum was her usual diatribe against the opposition: Those with an “R” next to their names.
The “Shrill Kathy” suggests that “mere insistence” by Florida and Nevada are the mechanisms driving a December primary and makes no mention of the New Hampshire statute (N.H. RSA 659:3) which states in part, “The presidential primary election shall be held on the second Tuesday in March or on a date selected by the secretary of state which is seven days or more immediately preceding the date on which any other state shall hold a similar election, whichever is earlier … ” So Kathy…it is not “more likely” as you put it, but mandated by statute that the Granite State goes first.
OBAMA IS TOAST
by Rick Olson
“No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power … “ —Jacob Bronowski
Solyndra is a California-based “green energy” company that sought more than $500 Million is loan guarantees from the Department of Energy and has now filed for bankruptcy protection.
Solyndra first sought consideration for the loan guarantee program (a that began under the Bush administration) during the last days of the GWB administration. They were denied. The Obama administration subsequently expanded the loan guarantee program via the stimulus and approved a half billion loan.
So now that Solyndra has sought bankruptcy protection, some private investors are lining up to get repaid even before the U.S. Taxpayers. the FBI’s criminal investigation is now seeking to know whether Solyndra execs knowingly and purposely misled DOE to obtain loan guarantees.

Democrats are hypocrites. Need more proof, just look to Obama care, and the billions it has handed out to big business, Big Union business in particular Yes, a union is a huge business, one that donates tens of millions to democrats.
