If you had any doubts about the true allegiance of NH Democrats, it is to Washington DC. They want all the money, power, influence, and now your elections to be run from inside the Beltway.

Sen. Joe Manchin Just Killed the Democrat’s S1HR1 Virus (Partisan Federal Election Reform)
The For the People Act, a terrible piece of legislation conceived by the most recent Democrat majority, may have just been aborted in its “third trimester.”
Friday Open Thread – Money, money, MUUUNEY!
So the Dems decide to spend us into oblivion, on the way to Federalize all elections, starting the process that every one has to work for a union, and have started to make it a criminal offense to you to let your “range mate” try your firearm. What else could go wrong? But TMEW still … Read more
That Time When Chris Pappas and Annie Kuster Voted to Allow Illegal Aliens to Vote in New Hampshire Elections
This from one of my favorite Congressmen: And here is the link to the vote. And here is the screen shot of Representatives Chris Pappas (I prefer “Liddle Chris”) and Annie Kuster (I’m partial to “Adenoid Annie” and “Violet Beauregarde” (1st Willy Wonka version)) voting in favor of illegal aliens voting in our elections: The … Read more
Pelosi Introduces Bill: Forces President/VP to Release Tax Returns – Exempts Herself
Nancy Pelosi introduced HR 1. An Act that includes many things. Its lead author, a Democrat, claims it will clean up Washington. Get those ‘special interests out of the way.’ Or, Maybe not. Among the changes is a provision that requires the President and Vice-president, and all Candidates for those offices, to release their tax … Read more
Two Congressmen And A Free Throw
The US House just finished it’s work on HR1, cleaning up after democrats who in 2010 abrogated yet another obligation when they found themselves incapable of writing the budget they really wanted right before an election.
The liberal-progressives wanted more spending but that was not politically advantageous. And since the single driving-force behind all Democrat decisions is politics the budget got relegated to the back of the bus, where the electorate’s short attention spans were meant to forget that democrats were never fiscally conscious representatives–they just tried to play them on the campaign trail.
But avoiding the high profile budget battle was more evidence that they had something to hide. The Democrat House majority was appropriately sedated and placed under observation, while the Senate saw minor adjustments but no change in leadership. So the process of changing our spending ways would still have to go through a Democrat controlled Senate and across the desk of a President who thinks the words "spending cuts" are just a rhetorical flourish used to provide cover for more spending.
Obama’s budget is proof enough of that.
But Obama only proposes a budget. The House is in charge of spending. So the new Republican congress went to the back seat of the Hopey-changey bus and picked up the budget obligations abandoned by the 111th congress. This wwas a free shot at changing the fiscal direction of the country before writing their own first official budget, which was not due until later in 2011. It was a gimme, a free throw, but one that had to survive the democrat Senate and the Spender in Chief.
So how did it turn out?
