The Biggest Special Interest Of All

Two Sheets PleaseThere’s something you might want to keep in mind about the state level Democrat wind machine as we move forward toward 2012.  It has been their practice to ignore their own out of state campaign dollars as they attack anyone or anything on the Republican side with even the most tenuous connection to influence from outside the state.  Even the governor has stood up and declared that he is against the influence of money from outside the state, while hundreds of thousands have poured into his pockets from places farther  and wider than the political borders of the Granite State.  But that’s all superficial by comparison to this.

How do governor Lynch, Chairman Buckley, presumptive democrat candidates for 2012 at every level, the whole of the democrat party, even their RINO sympathizers, explain why they embrace massive infusions of out of state money and all the disruptive influence it has at the state and local level…from the federal government?

Taking All The ‘Air’ Out Of “Fair”

The Nashua Telegraph spent most of the election season giving up huge chunks of their Sunday commentary page to the mouth-pieces of special interests promoting left wing causes like health care deform, so why stop now that the election has passed?  This week we get the implausible assumptions of Cathy Silber, the coordinator of the Granite State Fair Tax Coalition (GSFTC), who upon seeing the blood in the water on November 3rd, has attempted a preemptive strike for her pet special interest project–an income tax for New Hampshire.

Silber has been fighting "The Pledge," an oath signed by Granite State candidates who promise to vote against any sales or income tax should they meet that big bad wolf tax on the way to Grandmothers house, or anywhere else.  So Silber is the "Anti-pledger," plying class warfare rhetoric dressed as "fairness" in her quest to drag New Hampshire down the broad based tax rabbit hole, with the lie that it would take pressure off property taxes and create a more fair redistribution of wealth…oops I mean a more fair distribution of the tax burden.  Wait.  I had it right the first time.

What, you don’t think GSFTC is seeking the redistribution of wealth?

Take a look at who is in the "fair tax" coalition.  Union heavyweights; the NEA-NH, SEIU-1984(NH), and the NH State Employees Association, our state government employees union.  Who else?  How about a slew of social justice groups like the Unitarian Universalist’s and the NH Council of Churches, anti gun, pro-global warming, supporting redistribution of wealth, all left wing causes aided in their minds by a new broad based tax.

Takes all the ‘Air’ out of Fair, don’t you think?

A Word From The Chairman Of New Hampshire’s Super Minority Party

Over on Facebook last week the Chairman of the New Hampshire Democrat party wished we had this law on the books.

British Election Overturned Because of "False Statements"

The Independent reports that former British immigration minister Phil Woolas "lost his seat as an MP today after an election court ruled that he knowingly made false statements about an opponent in May’s general election."

Bloomberg notes Woolas was guilty of "an illegal practice" by making statements "he had no reasonable grounds for believing were true and did not believe were true."

"It is the first time in 99 years that an election has been overturned as a result of a candidate making false statements. Woolas told reporters he is applying for a judicial review of the decision."

Why?  Mr. Buckley claims that if we had this law…

"Hardly a Republican would hold office in New Hampshire if we had this law here…"

Does The GOP Want That New Direction Or Not

Should the New Hampshire Republican House Caucus have the opportunity to vote for their Majority leader? That’s majority leader not Speaker. Traditional wisdom says yes but today, rumor has it, that three of the four candidates for speaker are said to have voted no on the matter.

Playing 52 Pick Up, And Then Some

New Hampshire Election Information (http://nhelection.info/) has the results posted of its 52-pick up page an effort to identify and track the replacement of fifty-two "of the most statist and the most vulnerable legislators in the New Hampshire House of Representatives."

The final accounting is impressive.

Only four of the fifty two reps listed survived the 2010 election season; Evalyn Merrick (Coos 2), Peter Ramsey (Hills 8), Daniel Sullivan (Hills 8), and Nick ‘The Nuke’ Lavasseur (Hills 11) survived.  The other 48 got washed out in the roughly 296 seat sweep of the House.

A View From The Progressive Wilderness?

Seems to me Ray should be accusing the voters of overreach, and that’s probably what he’s doing. But a 75% Majority of State government sends a message about someones agenda, even when that message is delivered to democrats. It’s, what’s the word, a referendum.

Inconveninet Truths About The October Jobs Numbers

Is there really any improvement?Jobs numbers are tricky things.  Politicians will always tell you what you want to hear and leave out what they don’t want you to hear.  So it is no surprise that we are getting the same old song and dance, that "the economy created private sector jobs again."  That’s a nice thing to hear, but is it an improvement or are we still arranging deck chairs on the Titanic?

Deck chair anyone?

Unemployment is still at 9.6 percent and despite claims of job growth for ten months, unemployment has been at or above 9.6% for 20 months.

The numbers do not add up.

Looking For Closure?

I thought you might want to know.  Cynthia Dokmo, the RINO Write-in candidate from Amherst who chose to ignore the will of her primary voters came in dead last.  Out of 15 candidates (7 GOP, 7 DEMO, plus Dokmo) Cynthia collected 2012 votes. That’s less than half (43%) of the number needed to make the cut.

But her endorsement seems to have carried some weight.  Dokmo endorsed Democrat Shannon Chandley for the NH House, and Shannon made first loser, failing to make the grade by a paltry 741 votes.  All the other DEM’s fell in between, as the Republicans not only swept the district they denied Dokmo twice.

There is however room for some speculation, and a correction perhaps to my previous estimation that Dokmo could skim off enough votes from a real Republican to allow a Democrat (Chandley as it turns out) to sneak in.

The Bonfire Of The Misogynists

Bill Clinton Was In NHI’m still awaiting the blistering criticism due Governor Lynch from Democrat spokesperson Harrell Kirstein, for accepting praise from the misogynist in Chief, the impeached serial sex offender and perjurer, former president William Jefferson Clinton, who came to New Hampshire to campaign for floundering democrats and the little governor that could. President Bubba, the benefactor of a countless number of Bimbo eruptions, demonstrates to us the true value that democrats place on marriage–none, and to women in general, not in the fabricated terms Kirstein would attribute to others, but in their actual context.

Clinton continues to be coveted very likely because of his indiscretions, but more prominently for being the most visible evidence that the democrat party is a cabal of liars because he was impeached for lying–and lying about his casual abuse of women to boot.

So I guess Governor Lynch endorses this kind of behavior then.  He certainly emulates it. (The lying)  Which means he must also be defending his parties other abuses of women, seeing as we’ve heard nothing denouncing it, from his office, his state party, or anyone in it for that matter.

Stephen Surging

Late polling shows John Stephen closing the gap to the point that the race is now a toss up.  That means every vote counts.  Get out there and vote for John Stephen.  He is the only candidate who can win and advance our shared goals for liberty and a return to smaller government.

OFA – Sanctions Vote Stealing….Because NH Law Allows It.

Note to all Republican’s elected to the the next New Hampshire Legislature.  You need to tighten up voter registration laws. You must get rid of same day registration.  You need to limit voting privileges to actual residents.  There must be a requirement to demonstrate proof of ID and residency to vote.  And you must enforce … Read more

Ray Buckley And His Extremist Friends…

Vote For Jim Forsythe!Paid for by The New Hampshire Democratic State Committee and Ray Buckley, Chair, is an ad in the New Hampshire Sunday News.  Don’t feel bad if you missed it.  It’s an 1/8th of a page affair that  tries to scare people.  They, the democrats, have to resort to this because of the frightening reality that is their actual agenda, which people are preparing to reject in the mid terms.

The ad is directed at Jim Forsythe, candidate for State Senate.  It claims that Jim will Slash the minimum wage, take away women’s rights, eliminate social security, eliminate medicare and shut down public education, as if the democrats have not already corrupted these ideas or doomed these failed institutions already, and that a State Senator from New Hampshire, any state Senator, could actually do any of these things anyway.

Each of the five attacks come with a foot note directing you to one of two internet resources, the Republican Liberty Caucus Statement of Principles, or an interview in Fosters Daily Democrat.

Notable Quote – Russell Kirk

If men are discharged of reverence for ancient usage, they will treat this world, almost certainly, as if it were their private property, to be consumed for their sensual gratification; thus they will destroy in their lust for enjoyment the property of future generations, of their own contemporaries, and indeed their very own capital.

Notable Quote – Edmund Burke

One of the first and most leading principles on which the commonwealth and its laws are consecrated, is lest the temporary possessors and life renters in it, unmindful of what they have received from their ancestors, or of what is due to their posterity, should act as if they were the entire masters; that they … Read more

Lynch-Marched To Who Knows Where

Lynch Destroyed Jobs, Scared off workersNH Employment Services has released its October report for the most recent New Hampshire jobs data and it’s not good for John Lynch.  The state continues to lose its human capital.  The granite state shed another 360 workers in August to parts unknown as the post ‘end of the recession’ exodus of our civilian workforce rose to 16,550.  So from July 2009 to Aug 2010, 16,550 people gave up looking for work in John Lynch’s New Hampshire, ‘Lynch-Marched’ right out of our local job market. That doesn’t happen in a healthy pro job-growth environment.  If John Lynch and the democrats were really doing their political ‘best’ the Civilian work force would be rising as people felt compelled to come here to look for work because more business and industry though of New Hampshire as a business friendly environment.  But it’s not.  It’s hostile.

Guest Post – Leigh MacNeil

There are two clear choices on Tuesday. We can continue down a path of big government, higher taxes and less freedom, or we can demand from our legislators a limited government with less spending, lower taxes and more freedom.

More Gay Lobby Lunch Money For Lynch

Lynch has only raised 1.12 Million for the general election with his own loans. Take the loans out and he only has 350,000.00 from sources other than his own checkbook. Thirty five percent of whats left is from one special interest; gay marriage activists from Tim Gill’s Political Out Giving, the group he secretly slithered off to, to give a luncheon speech back in May.

Is Carol Shea-Porter anti-millitary?

Carol Seiu-Porter’s energy policy agenda actually costs the US military billions of dollars more per year in increased fuel and energy costs. Stephen Hayward at the Weekly Standard estimated that every $10/barrel added to the price of oil costs the defense department (and you) one billion dollars more per year.
