As you folks already know or remember, last October, we had our first Groktoberfest for Conservatarian (Conservative & Libertarian) activists to do what political folks do – yak, eat, shoot some guns (‘natch – held at the Londonderry Fish and Game club), and listen to a few people tell us their stories…
Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump …

NRSC Ponies Up New One Million Dollar Ad Buy for Bolduc in Run-Up to Nov 8
Tis the season for campaign ads and endless phone calls (and texts), and thank the Lord for call screening. Imagine the frustration if we didn’t have it? Hello…Arrrgh! As for ads, my mute button is getting more action than a Coyote on the US Southern border. Mute. Mute. Mute. But TV ads are essential. Without them, you probably lose.

The Nutroots Already Has a Guide (and a Plan) for Harassing NH Republicans
Several sore losers on the left plan to demand recounts. They underestimated how much dumber the electorate was than they’d claimed. Not even smart enough to vote for them, maybe. Better check again. But not everyone is hopeful. The nutroots are already ready for losing, and they’ve got a guide.
Four Democrat House Reps – Merrimack Can’t Afford to Make that Same Mistake Twice
