Secession – It’s the Latest Fad

September 26, 2018November 13, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Since election day (private citizens from) 20 states have started petitions to secede from the United States. I guess elections do have consequences. What began as a pair of parallel stunts appears to have gathered steam. Other than Louisiana and Texas, states with secession-related petitions pending on the White House website now include Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, … Read more

Which Tax Lotto

September 26, 2018November 12, 2012 Steve MacDonald

New Hampshire House Democrats are going to raise taxes and fees, the real fun is which one first and how soon?

My money is on the tobacco tax and I’d be suprised if it didn’t hit the committee table on the first day of the first session and find it’s way to the House floor in record time. Given the somewhat spinless make-up of the Republican caucus in the State Senate, I could not guarantee that it wont just flush through that chamber like s**t through a goose and come out the other side with Maggie Hassan’s signature on it.

The end result will be fewer sales of cigarettes and tobbaco products in New Hampshire. That’s what happened the last time the Democrats raised the tobacco tax. And if we need a cautionary tale to guide us on why this will happen again, we can look to the Peoples Republic of Denmark for help.

Stand With Stephen Forster & Forster’s Christmas Tree Farm

September 26, 2018November 12, 2012 Steve MacDonald

The Town of Henniker has cited Stephen Forster (Forster’s Christmas Tree Farm) with illegal use of his property. But State law provides that Mr. Forster may use his property for Agri-tourism, also known as “agriculture,” a legitimate use of the land. Henniker has apparently acknowledged this but will not rescind its citation unless they are … Read more

Because They Voted Where It Matters

September 26, 2018November 11, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Boston.com has an article today observing that pro-obama turnout in New Hampshire’s college towns is less than it was in 2008. There is very intentional mention of concerns (from folks like myself I assume) about out of state students being used to tip the election; but how no one could ever know how they’d vote, and about the promtion by Democrats of the idea that Republicans were tyring to keep them from voting which is why they should.

So much concern in one tiny little article, complete with deceptions, and a new narrative to plumb.

Well I just happen to have a very workable theory about why turnout in NH College towns was down–something I had not considered checking until now, thank you–and it ties directly to a well worn New Hampshire Democrat excuse about why they support out of state student voting in New Hampshire.

Maggie “Louisville Slugger” Hassan Takes a Swing at The NH Democrats ‘Civility’ Narrative

September 26, 2018November 9, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Anyone who bought or sold the New Hampshire Democrats bringing ‘Civility’ to Concord narrative has a very short memory, is a complete fool, (an out of state voter domiciled here on November 6th for voting purposes), or just another New Hampshire Democrat–and we’ve said as much time and time again. They are incapable of civility.

To help us prove our point, before the ink was even dry on the ballots, Governor Elect Maggie “Beat Republicans With a Bat” Hassan was already cackling like the left wing, partisan harpy, she tried to hide during her race for Concord’s highest perch.

You Want The Truth? You Can’t Handle The Truth!

September 26, 2018November 9, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Comments are often a great source of amusement, and often suitable for follow up material. In this instance, in response to my post about Legally stealing elections with out of state voters who just happen to be in New Hampshire, an anonymous commenter using the handle “Speak the Truth” suggested that we just let it go.

Move On. We have an enormous task in front of us – “we” have to EDUCATE the public with the TRUTH. “Dumb cannot be solved with Dumber”

Really?

Here is my response, some “education” about why we can’t move on…

About That Chairman of the NHGOP Works For Free Thing…

September 26, 2018November 9, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Anyone ever wonder what possible advantage there might be to keeping the job of Republican Party Chairman of New Hampshire as an unpaid position? I’m sure there are people with a pat answer but I have a theory.

Seems to me that this would guarantee that only well-connected, moderate party insiders could ever hold the job. People who’ve earned it instead of people who’d actually work for their paycheck. People who have to know people to raise any money as opposed to someone who would raise money like their paycheck depended on it. Hardly what I’d call a governing conservative principle, passing the job along like a crown because the only people who can afford to do it don’t need the money it might otherwise pay were it a paid position.

And having delegates vote for the chairman only seems to work if the people who hand off the crown like the person they voted for.

Using the Law to ‘Legally’ Steal Elections?

September 26, 2018November 8, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Judge Lewis made it legal for out of state residents to vote in New Hampshire. It’s not quite that simple but he essentially legalized out of state voter influence on your local election (vote fraud) which is not actually a new idea but may have been executed on a massive scale this week.

Now you’d have to be a bit immoral or unethical to take unfair advantage of such a legal loophole, yes? To find and encourage people to participate in such a scheme? Well what if a certain political party did just that? If they used a legal loophole, secured by a liberal Judge, in response to a suit brought by Liberal activist groups, then used their massive canvassing database to target polling places where they could tip elections in their favor? That would be crazy talk. Legally robbing other people of their voice with out of state voters?

So I suppose we’d need some proof to make that case? Well guess what. You can help us gather it.

And I was Hoping for a Day Off…

September 26, 2018November 7, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Nothing tastes quite like defeat but nothing creates blog material like Democrats. (I’d have preferred the day off but that was apparenlty not meant to be.)

So here we go again. I expect the 2016 election to start any moment now…

By the way. Some libertarians are taking credit for the GOP not being able to win without them. Note to those libertarains. That would actually mean you helped Obama win. (Hassan, Lasky, Gilmore, Shea-Porter, McKluster etc…?) I don’t happen to think you had any meaningful affect at all, personally. The difference in New Hampshire (at least) was not slight. Romney may even have won the popular vote nationally–though I have only hear-say on that point. But as the results unfold I’ll be happy to give you some credit if that will make you feel like you mattered. I know how sensitive you folks are about your movement.

Next: That bitter Tea narrative seems to have worked.

Sifting The New Hampshire Rubble For Small Victories

September 26, 2018November 7, 2012 Steve MacDonald

New Hampshire Democrats appear to have taken advantage of Judge John Lewis’ decision to scrap the domicile rules. The end result was that busload after busload of out of state students were ferried to the polls to vote in New Hampshire. They killed the constitutional amendments. They elected a Democrat governor. And they gave New … Read more

Meanwhile- Outside Wayne MacDonald’s House

This is not really the home of New Hampshire’s Republican party Chairman….but it could be.

EPIC Early Turnout in Merrimack New Hampshire

September 26, 2018November 6, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Moving to one polling location cannot begin to account for the massive voter turnout in Merrimack this morning. Huge parking areas and no place to park–unless you want to walk a mile. A line outside the school several hundred feet long–that’s before the line inside and then the line to check in and then … Read more

Live Fee Then Die – Say Hello To New Hampshire’s ‘Fee’ Staters?

September 26, 2018November 1, 2012 Steve MacDonald

The left has tried to turn the Tea Party into their boogeyman. But you know what the Tea Party wants? They think we are taxed enough already. Stop adding taxes. Stop spending more money than we take in. Stop making government cost so damn much that small business can’t hire to pay for what government we actually need.

And the Free Staters just want New Hampshire to keep its small government character. They, like the Tea Party, prefer local control to being lorded over by the state or federal government. Government, yes – but as local as it can be and small and efficeint. And what’s truly funny about the Democrats attacks on the Free Staters is that many of these folks actually agree with Democrats on several issues. Some of them are Democrats.

Which brings us to Democrats.

Democrats are easy. More central government, more spending and growth of central government, more command and control, less local control and more taxes and fees to pay for it.. So what do you think? From now on should we just refer to New Hampshire Democrats as “Fee” Staters?

Hurricane Sandy – NH is out of power

September 26, 2018October 30, 2012 Skip

Much worse in other states, to be sure. But with 1.3 million people in the state, almost a quarter million customers are out of power. Including many of the Groksters, so consider this your “blogging will be light today” notice. Just from PSNH, a map of their outages: Pray for the folks in along the … Read more

MOM’s Against Maggie Hassan

September 26, 2018October 29, 2012 Steve MacDonald

New Facebook page alert. There is now a page called MOM’s Against Maggie Hassan. Why? Maggie is against mom’s, that’s why. Don’t beleive me, check out her voing record. Maggie thinks the abortion lobby is more important than mom’s knowing if their underage daughters are seeking those services. Maggie objects to homeschooloing, k-12 scholarships, or … Read more

“Just vote Republican.”

September 26, 2018October 25, 2012 Steve MacDonald

This man has an appointment with destiny....

Regarding the Presidential election…it’s over. There’s little question now that Obama will lose the election. Even with the news blackout by the mainstream media, the truth is emerging: It is becoming clear that our President left Ambassador Stevens and other Benghazi consulate personnel to die in the Al Qaeda attack on September 11th.

Whether it was a cold calculation by the President, or merely fearful and incompetent dithering, the cover-up is unraveling…disastrously so for Obama and the Democrats.

The only question now is how large Romney’s victory will be, and whether he will have “coattails” to boost other Republicans across the finish line to victory. I here and now predict he will. If I am right, then President Romney will have the White House, and the Republicans will have majorities in both the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives.

The question is…

Maggie Hassan – Partisan Voting 98% of the Time

September 26, 2018October 24, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Tom Cronin with Ovide for Governor sent out a press release today questioning this statement by Democrat Maggie Hassan.

“One of the things I really worked on in the State Senate was making sure that when we develop policy; everybody comes to the table to do it. … I’ve always found it really important that I can hear different views at the debate in front of me because that informs really good policy making.”

Translation: Maggie can see your lips moving but she is still going to vote like a radical left wing tax and spend New Hampshire Democrat.

Don’t believe me? Just ask some folks who served in the State Senate with her.

Ask a New Hampshire Democrat…Do You Support Obama’s Second Term Agenda?

September 26, 2018October 22, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Back in 2008 Barack Obama ran on gas and whimsy. The result of that was decline in every measurable sense a civilization can quantify except for debt and spending which have achieved highs never imagined. For 2012, Barack Obama is running on…I….have no idea. But someone has to know. So ask a New Hampshire Democrat…Do … Read more

Granite State Futures…At Concord High School?

September 26, 2018October 22, 2012 Steve MacDonald

The Granite State Futures Calendar is a great resource for finding out where these fools are planning to show up next. Take this for example. I’m not sure what they are doing, but it’s from 3-4 pm at Concord High School, in the Civics class. Sounds like after school. What exactly is this? Concord High … Read more

New Hampshire, Tear Down This Firewall

You have a choice, New Hampshire, an important choice, a life-style choice.

Like our motto says, you can “Live Free or Die,” a free self-reliant citizen of New Hampshire, proud of yourself and proud of your state and your country. Or you can “Live Dependent and Die,” withering away as a slave of the Nanny State, subject to the government and an apologist for yourself, your state, and your country.

It is your option, but recognize that it may be your last choice. The United States of America is dangerously close to the point where a majority of the voters are vassals of the state, reduced to relying on the largesse of the government for their livelihood, and economically forced to vote for the continuance of the Nanny State. As Mark Steyn puts it, “This election represents the last exit ramp before the death spiral.”

Disagree? Consider Obama’s record:
