I Think She’d Say Something like this, Harrell!

Yesterday morning hapless Harrell ‘Jersey Shore’ Kirstein (The New Hampshire Democrat Propaganda Minister) tweeted this.

harrell kirstein tweet poll

PPP is left leaning and always suspect, with a tendency to over-sample for favorable Democrat outcomes, but maybe HK was just looking for a silver lining seeing as the UNH Poll, albeit with a smaller sample, came out with some contradictory results he chose NOT to share.

New Hampshire’s junior senator, Republican Kelly Ayotte, has also seen her favorability rating largely unchanged since February. Currently, 50% of New Hampshire adults have a favorable opinion of Ayotte, 25% have an unfavorable opinion of her, 9% are neutral and 16% don’t know enough about her to say. Ayotte’s net favorability rating is +25%, up from +23% in February. Her net favorability remains high among Republicans at +74% and low among Democrats where it is at -21%. Her net favorability rating among Independents has also stayed steady at +38%.

Emphasis mine… because in the UNH poll she owns Republicans, and most importantly …with independents she is +38.  No point in sharing that, eh Harrell.  But while we’re ‘sharing, that UNH poll had some other important news that might be of even greater concern to Democrats like Kirstein, given that Ayotte is not facing re-election next year and New Hampshire’s two Democrat congress-critters are.

Who Can You Trust?

Stella Tremblay, a New Hampshire House Republican (Auburn), is on the media chopping block for being a little bit Alex Jones, and bit too much Glenn Beck.  Seems she posted some remarks on Beck’s site that comport with conspiracy theories regarding the Boston Marathon Bombings, and the Federal Government’s Complicity.

Posted to Beck’s site–as reported by HuffPo…

 Just as you said would happen. Top Down, Bottom UP. The Boston Marathon was a Black Ops “terrorist” attack. One suspect killed, the other one will be too before they even have a chance to speak. Drones and now “terrorist” attacks by our own Government. Sad day, but a “wake up” to all of us. First there was a “suspect” then there wasnt. Infowars broke the story and they knew they had been “found out”.

Peter Hansen Says “Vagina,” Democrats ignore Their Own Narratives To Blast Him For it -Republicans Just Run Away

New Hampshire State House Rep Peter Hansen has come under fire for some remarks he made in an email thread to legislators…

From Huff Po.

State Rep. Peter Hansen (R) made the comment, first reported by New Hampshire political blogger Susan the Bruce, in an April 1 email debate with colleagues about a “stand your ground” gun bill. Hansen’s colleague, Rep. Steve Vaillancourt (R) had delivered a lengthy floor speech about the benefits of retreating instead of using deadly force, to which Hansen replied in an email:

What could possibly be missing from those factual tales of successful retreat in VT, Germany, and the bowels of Amsterdam? Why children and vagina’s of course. While the tales relate the actions of a solitary male the outcome cannot relate to similar situations where children and women and mothers are the potential victims.

State Rep. Rick Watrous (D) immediately criticized Hansen for his choice of words. “Are you really using ‘vaginas’ as a crude catch-all for women? Really?” he wrote. “Please think before you send out such offensive language on the legislative listserve [SIC].”

I don’t know about the legislative list serve Rep Watrous, I can’t speak to that, but do you pay any attention to your own party antics?

New Hampshire Democrats Stick With What Doesn’t Work

The New Hampshire Democrat House Majority has chosen their previous Democrat House Sepaker Terie ‘Billion Dollar Deficit‘ Norelli as their new Speaker for the 2013-2014 session.  This is good for lots of reasons. Deficits, spending, taxes, accounting gimmicks, bathroom remodels, bathroom bills, and a dedication to back-benching and marginalizing anyone who does not pull the lever for her far-left agenda.

As a blogger, I couldn’t be happier.  Nothing makes my hobby easier than the likes of Terie Norelli.  I look forward to watching her repeat the same mistakes again.

Of course this time around she doesn’t have a completely compliant Democrat majority Senate to help cover her tracks.  She has a slim and squishy potentialy compliant Republican majority in the Senate, with whom she may have to barter a bit.  How much barter, as well as what the GOP willingly gives up, remains to be seen.

Can’t put your $$ where yer mouth is, eh Kate Miller (DEMOCRAT candidate for NH House, Belknap 2)??

Kate Miller 2012 campaign signEver since this uber-Progressive from Meredith, NH got the boot from the NH House two years ago, I have had to put up with her screeds in the local papers about how NH Republicans have abandoned NH Values, how everything that has been done the last two years, how they hate the poor, hate seniors, hate the disadvantaged, have cut the budget to where it hurts the disadvantaged, they hate education, and….well, you get the idea.  TEA Party, Free Staters….extremists all and none of them care about anyone else but themselves (those selfish bastards!).  Words that have warmed the cockles of NHDP Chair Buckles, I would presume.

Frankly, she’s come across as an angry, sore loser that hates the limitations of the NH Constitution as well as the US Constitution.  Your money is her money, and her interests in redistributing your formerly private property (the result of your labor) trumps your needs to provide for your family.  She’s all about pushing that 47% to nose bleed levels.   It has been a constant litany from this Progressive harpie on jobs – you know, the kind that the Dems weren’t interested: YOU Republicans promised us jobs!  What are you doing that social stuff – that’s not JOB related!!  Why are you cutting that tax – that’s not JOB related!!  Where’s the jobs, jobs, jobs!

Never mind that the Dems didn’t campaign on social issues, but they sure legislated on ’em.  Jobs became an afterthought.  But one would think that with so much emphasis on her delusional daydream that Dems would do FAR better on creating jobs, she’d, you know, actually put her words to effect and helping a NH company with a NH job?

Oh Wait – what’s in that lower right hand corner of her sign?

Quick take – enthusiasm gap in Gilford

Turnout was actually pretty good in my town yesterday, Primary Day here in NH.  There was a contentious issue in this town of 7,400- the purchase of yet another fire truck, to replace an engine that seemed not to get the correct maintenance, at the cost of $500,000.  This was an issue that was voted down during the regular town meeting but the Spenders in town decided not only that a used truck was “just not good enough,” but that they weren’t going to listen to the will of the people, and got a judge to authorize a Special Town Meeting to vote on the issue again – the proverbial “second bite of the apple”.

It lost by 10 votes in reaching a 60% majority – so it is dead and gone until the next regular Town Meeting.  Good.  It may be nice to have the best of everything but there is a cost to be borne – and some in Town have no cares about those who cannot continue to match the taxes for their spending.

At the same time, however, it showed a real soft underbelly for the upcoming November election – at least in my town; there is an enthusiasm gap between the democrats and the Republicans. Here’s a quick chart of the races and a comparison of the turnout:

Pledge Zombie Apocalypse

Taxes and Democrats The pledge politics lie and broad based taxesDemocrat Candidate Jackie Cilley is trying to rally the extreme left of the already extreme left in the New Hampshire Democrat party by pretending to be a moderating voice for tax policy.  Her distinction without a difference (other than that she is being direct about her desire for a broad based tax) is that the idea of taking a pledge to veto (or vote against) any sales or income tax is unfair.  That every option should be on the table.

As pointed out here, this is extremely disingenuous because this is the only policy in which she or any of her supporters (or any Democrat) wants to “have a conversation.”  But it is worse than even that.  The facts behind the pledge zombie antics on the lefts left are, as in most cases when dealing with Democrats, lying by omission.

So, will the NH Democrat Party condemn their supporters vandalism and their calling others “FAGS”?

This just in from the Secretary of the Pemi-Baker Republicans – more H8 from Democrat (the Party of Total Totalitariansm Tolerance) supporters:

On 8/26/2012 12:48 PM, Secretary PBVRC wrote:

This morning I sent  this statement to the Record Enterprise

SUBJECT:    Republican Office Vandalized

STATEMENT from Ralph Larson, Chairman, Pemi-Baker Valley Republican Committee:

Some time during the black of night, on August 24th, our office sign at 47 Main St. Plymouth, was for the 4th time in recent years vandalized. Our signs have been handcrafted and donated by our members. The first 2 times the sign was stolen and recovered once. The replacement sign suffered minor damage after a major blow and now the immature element that exists in Plymouth has spray painted it with the word “FAGS’. Well guess what, we are not going to replace or repair the sign, as of now, but will leave it as is a visible reminder to those entering down town Plymouth from the South, of this probably minimal, but immature element of Plymouth’s population. The incident has been reported to Plymouth PD and if you have any information regarding it please report it to them at 536-1804.

Probably not an issue for NH Democrat Chair Ray “Hitler should have bombed it” Buckley at all.

It’s Time For A Smell Test (Update and Bumped – Democrats spent 1.5 million to elect Akin)

A Republican Candidate for the US Senate in Missouri said something stupid the other day.

“It seems to me, first of all, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare. If it’s a legitimate rape the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down,” he said.

Akin said later, in a statement, that he “misspoke,” claiming that his comments did not “reflect the deep empathy I hold for the thousands of women who are raped and abused every year.”

He’s referring to the frequency (infrequency) of unwanted pregnancies from rape, measured against his opposition to abortion.

OK.  But it sounded really stupid the first time around.

On Not being California…

Tax Money down the toiletNew Hampshire is not California.  We are not California because with the exception of 2007-2010, we try to avoid letting Democrats run the entire state government.  (We’re also not Massachusetts for that same reason.)  And this is good, because while Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick has now implemented “cost controls” for Healthcare providers in his state, guaranteeing(long term) less access, longer waits and poorer service, California is a bloody disaster.

The tax and spend, unsustainable pension and benefits, land of environmental extortion, saw sales tax revenue drop 33.5% last month.  While but one small part of the problem that is “California” all the problems can be linked directly to things that New Hampshire Democrats want you to experience right here in the Granite State.

Bipolar Domicile Syndrome…For Voting Purposes…

Democrats use domicile to allow out of state influence in local electionsThe New Hampshire TEA Party Republican Legislature did a lot more than just eliminate the 800 Million dollar deficit Democrats willingly left behind, while writing a balanced budget, and estimating revenues that came in on target.  They also managed to repair some damage to election law in regard to domicile.

SB318, vetoed by Governor Lynch, was overridden by both the House and Senate  (House Roll Call)(Senate Roll Call) and become law.  And while there are several important corrections to the forms and language that were made the one that strikes me as the most important is this.

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

Mark Fernald Wants an Income taxBill 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?

Because Democrat Timothy Horrigan Asked…

Calling out Left wing hypocrisy is my meat and potatoes. So, the other day, while asking (yet again) why anyone would trust Democrats given their party culture, I mentioned that one of their current NH House candidates had previously voted here while claiming to live in another State.

New Hampshire Democrat Timothy Horrigan asked when the candidate, William ‘Hud’ Connery, admitted to living in Tennessee?  Another ‘anonymous commenter’ said the post was bogus and we had no proof.

I accept your challenge.  You want proof, here it is.

Ask a New Hampshire Democrat…About Taxing ‘The Rich.’

I am willing to bet that almost every New Hampshire Democrat supports the national agenda on taxing corporations and “the rich.”  To paraphrase Kyle Reese from the original Terminator movie, in regard to Democrats raising taxes…  “That’s what they do.  That’s all they do.”

The real problem is, of course, spending, which Democrats deny.  “It’s not about spending,” they say, “we need the rich to pay ‘Their fair share®.'” But  all you have to do to prove they are wrong (again) is to look at what would happen if Democrats actually got those taxes they say we have to have on corporations and the wealthy.

New Hampshire Democrat Party Ad – Mostly False…According to Politifact

(reposted)

Let me state upfront that most ‘Fact-checkers,’ those of leftish media entities in particular, are not much different than so-called ‘non-partisan’ groups set up by Democrats.  They exist to mislead people by reinforcing a progressive narrative.  So I provide these observations about this report with a large grain of salt, even though ( in this case) it tends to favor my potions on the issues presented.

PolitiFact has awarded a recent New Hampshire Democrat Party Ad with the distinction of being ‘Mostly False.‘  This would be important if not for the fact that almost everything Democrats actually believe is false to begin with, but let’s play along and see why, in this case, “mostly” proves both PolitiFact and myself correct.

Will NH Democrats Drool At Developments In France?

Francois Hollande Socialist leader of FranceFrance’s golden age passed long ago, and thanks to the French is doomed never to return.

The New Socialist dominant government has set right to work doing something New Hampshire Democrats did (to a lesser extent) when they had complete control of our state government.  Right out of the gate the French Socialists are raising taxes.  But not just any taxes.   €7.2 Billion in one off taxes on wealthy households and big corporations…because the country continues to spend more than its  economy can come up with.  Sound familiar?  Their debt is at 90% of GDP.

What else sounds familiar?  How about wealthy households and corporations leaving France to escape confiscatory taxation?

What about the New Hampshire Budget?

New Hampshire Democrats are like three year oldsOne of the major themes of the New Hampshire Democrats is that the current New Hampshire Republican majority is not focusing enough on the budget and the economy, and spending too much time on other issues.   But this is an understandable position for leftists.

When the Democrats ran the entire state for four years, every session (almost every week) was about the budget, and how they had to raise more revenue.   The reason for that is that their estimates were always so distant from reality, and their over spending so profligate, that they could not help but be obsessed, at every opportunity, with trying to fix a mess of their own making.  The budget (and the economy)–how they might milk more taxes and fees out of the taxpayers or regulate and tax local businesses–was always on the agenda, often into the small hours of the morning of the day after the day they were supposed to have this all worked out by law.  So Democrat stewardship of the budget and the economy was one long, constant, cluster-***k.   (With what time they could spend ducking their budget woes wasted on trying to stomp out free speech, socializing medicine, scaring off more business, and a long laundry list of other nonsense too long to regurgitate here.)

The Republican majority, on the other hand, doing what you do at the grown-up table, already took care of  all that business in the first session.   Budget, estimates, revenues, done.   No last minute nonsense, no late night sessions.  No passing bills without hearings or making up taxes or fees they would later have to rescind–whose revenue they would then also have to “find” again and again…  and no Rube Goldbergian accounting tricks, or counting money from this year for that year, or adding in the potential sale of things like land that you will never actually sell.  None of that.

The Democrats hate the Republicans for that.
