Another NH Democrat Violates DoD Rules

September 26, 2018August 14, 2012 Steve MacDonald

NH Democrat candidate Bill Kennedy violated DoD rules — Thanks for the Service, but you are violating DoD rules

Another New Hampshire Democrat running for public office, this time for Governor, has violated Department of Defense Rules. Bill Kennedy, one of three Democrats running in the party primary for New Hampshire Governor, is in clear violation of DoD directive NUMBER 1344.10

An entire page of his campaign web site includes details of his military service (for which we thank him), with pictures, in uniform. There is no required disclaimer.

This put’s Mr. Kennedy in the company of Democrat William Connery, who was also in violation of the same rule. Connery eventually removed the image from his Facebook Campaign page.

It’s A NH Democrat Bill Kennedy Kind Of Morning…This Time It’s About Tax Burden

September 26, 2018August 14, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Bill is probably a great guy, and I’m sure he never meant to violate Department of Defense regulations by posting images of himself in uniform on a campaign web site. But that’s not the only thing that caught my eye while I was there. Bill is also guilty of lying by omission.

You see, while claiming to be something of a centrist, he still suffers from the same illness as the majority of Democrats in New Hampshire when it comes to talking about taxes and tax burden. On the same page in which he violated DoD regulation 1344.10, he also engaged in partisan hackery when he says…

“NH is ranked 2nd or 4th worst (depending on whose statistics you use) for property tax burden.”

By using the word tax BURDEN, we are meant to presume a horrible thing but every tax is part of that burden. If we are going to have an honest discussion about tax burden, shouldn’t we talk about total tax burden? And why, despite Bill’s sound bite-which is accurate by the way– New Hampshire still has one of the lowest overall tax burdens in the nation?

Democrat House Candidate William Hudson Connery III…Violates DoD Rules?

September 26, 2018August 2, 2012 Steve MacDonald

When he’s not promoting potential vote fraud by out of state college students, or telling us how he can’t stand people of faith, the New Hamphire House Candidate and Socialist Democrat from ~~New Hampshire 17~~ Rockingham 17, might also be …violating Department of Defense directives.

To your right is a picture of Mr. Connery….in Iraq…in Uniform. It’s a nice picture. The status update says…“Just another day in Iraq.” But it is posted on his Facebook NH House campaign page.

Question of the day…

September 26, 2018July 27, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Let me just get this out of the way? “Question of the Day…” will not be a daily feature unless someone else on the Grok payroll (which is a lofty sum of $0.00 dollars) bails me out…almost every day. My follow through is simply not that reliable. But I liked the sound of it so … Read more

How about a justification for slavery?

Last Friday President Obama gave a speech in Virginia where he said, among other things, “If you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own….If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”

James Pethokoukis of the American Enterprise Institute blog “Ideas” observed that the underlying meaning of those statements is this:

Running in Rockingham 17 – A Democrat Socialist From Tennessee?

September 26, 2018July 2, 2012 Steve MacDonald

William Hudson Connery III is running for the New Hampshire House. He is a Democrat. He is running in Rockinham 17. And with the registration deadline just past, he’s already got problems.

Let’s start with that picture of the anti-religious bumper sticker he had posted on facebook that he abruptly took down…just after he signed up to run for the New Hampshire House I’d guess. The one that says, “I’ve got Nothing Against God, It’s his fan club I can’t stand.” He is certainly welcome to his opinion but not being able to stand most of the population seems like a strange condition for someone seeking public office. If he “can’t stand” 8 out of 10 constituents who exactly is he hoping to represent?

He’s also rather partial to another bumper sticker (if you read the updates next to the picture) that says “I’m sorry I missed Church I was too busy practicing witchcraft and being a lesbian.”

Well where’s the left wing outrage about that?

This fits with my previous post:

42% Of Democrats Prefer NoBama! – Part 2

September 26, 2018May 25, 2012 Skip

As Mike pointed out earlier, Arkansas and Kentucky Democrats only gave Obama 60% of their votes. This is really embarrassing to his campaign and certainly to the Democrat Machine and the only real explanation that is plausible is it is his policies – too liberal, too costly, too out of the American mainstream, and too … Read more

Celebrate Mother’s Day With the Gift of Abortion

September 26, 2018May 13, 2012 Steve MacDonald

It’s still Mother’s day so you’ve still got time to take some gift advice from Democrat US Senator Kirstin Gillibrand; “This Mother’s Day, I can’t think of a better way to honor all the mothers in the country — past and present — than with a contribution to EMILY’s List,” Gillibrand writes. “They’re the ones … Read more

The Divine Right of Democrats

September 26, 2018April 10, 2012 Steve MacDonald

From DaTecguy’s blog, an excellent post on Neo-crats–my word not his. He compares the Old Democrats to the new with a little help from some other great sources…

When Democrats lose, that’s not a coup, that just means you lost this years elections. Don’t blame it on the Koch brothers, Halliburton or anyone else, sometimes the voters don’t like you. The Republicans spent 40 years in the wilderness until Election 1994 (Congressional elections not Presidential ones) — not one Republican thought of changing the rules or the constitution.

It has been ever so, when the GOP took the congress in 1994 Peter Jennings called it a temper tantrum, for eight years the left insisted that George Bush was not legit and when in 2010 the voters threw out the democrats America is dumb.

I’ve been writing about the elites and Feudalism since 2009. Because they see them selves as our betters their actions are no surprise.

Alan Grayson Tosses Himself Under A Bus

September 26, 2018March 11, 2012 Steve MacDonald

No one was hurt. But congressional candidate (Yikes!) Alan Grayson gave it his best shot when he ran a red light and plowed his Mercedes into a bus. Not to worry. Mr. 1% has probably got the best automobile insurance his deep pockets can afford. Grayson is best known for his willingness to speak on … Read more

Even to a Mushroom, Facts Are Stubborn Things

September 26, 2018January 19, 2012 Steve MacDonald

I encountered a Tweet-Hole yesterday. Some liberal mushroom thought they had something to add to the vote fraud debate and sent me this.

The link takes you to a Media Matters article in which the author loosely speculates about close races and claims of voter fraud. We are apparently meant to assume that fraud has occurred because the race is close. Media Matters, the Soros funded left wing mouth piece of the Democrat party, is simply trying to create conflict between factions to cause division. Sasha2000 seems to think that this non-issue in Iowa is the same thing as New Hampshire poll workers, caught on video, giving ballots to whomever walks up to the table and provides a name that happens to be on the checklist.

More likely sasha “the mushroom” 2000 has only heard the left wing spin on the video. What follows is both predictable and priceless.

Jesus and the Democrat

September 26, 2018December 30, 2011 Steve MacDonald

JESUS AND THE DEMOCRAT

Jesus in a Coffee shop A Republican, in a wheelchair, entered a restaurant one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee. The Republican looked across the restaurant and asked, “Is that Jesus sitting over there?” The waitress nodded “yes,” so the Republican requested that she give Jesus a cup of coffee, on him.

… The next patron to come in was a Libertarian, with a hunched back. He shuffled over to a booth, painfully sat down, and asked the waitress for a cup of hot tea. He also glanced across the restaurant and asked, “Is that Jesus, over there?” The waitress nodded, so the Libertarian asked her to give Jesus a cup of hot tea, “My treat.”

The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Democrat on crutches.

#Occupy Policy Goal = 35 Years in Jail?

September 26, 2018December 23, 2011 Steve MacDonald

Redistributing the wealth, and blaming banks at the same time, must be sending a mixed message to “American’s” who are committed to redistributing the wealth. Take James Karahalios for example. He ‘liberated’ wealth from several banks, motels, and greedy business owners, and what did he get for it? Thirty-five years in prison for armed robbery. … Read more

Another Challange To Carol SEIU-Porter in CD-1 Primary

Matt Hancock just abother cookie cutter Progressive — Donkey Cookie Cutter

Portsmouth Democrat Matthew Hancock announced this week that he has added his name to the list of primary pimping Progressives wishing to mount a challenge to the GOP held first congressional district seat in New Hampshire. But after reading Matt’s press release I’m not quite sure what he brings to the table that is any different than the left wing clone-troopers already running?

Meet Bob “Bathroom Bill” Perry

September 26, 2018July 12, 2011 Steve MacDonald

Bob supported all the taxes, the wacky accounting, the bad revenue estimates, the overspending, the nanny state nonsense, even job killing taxes and bloated government spending during a recession. A vote for Bob is a vote for more taxes, more fees, less money in your wallet every year, and more bureaucracy and state control everywhere else.

How About Them Nazis?

September 26, 2018January 25, 2011 Steve MacDonald

Given how touchy the New Hampshire Democrat Party (NHDP) leadership is about comments relating to Jews and Nazis I wanted to wait a few days before addressing the words of Tennessee House Democrat Steve Cohen. Cohen made a few, lets call them ‘off-hand remarks’ about propaganda, Republicans and Nazis. He then did it again with spin. And again. (and..Zzzz)
