Out of state money – Granite Grok

Pine Tree Ramblings – Vol 10

Leftists (Liberals, Democrats) sure are in a tailspin these days. And it sure is great to see. They pick these whacky, self-proclaimed Socialist bartenders who can’t function though a media interview. They have issue-du-jour Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), where each day brings a new “critical issue”, worthy (in their minds) of impeaching the President: Helsinki, … Read more

Repost: You Can’t Be A “Republican” And Vote Against Right To Work

by Steve MacDonald

(Originally posted September 21st, this seems like a suitable follow up to yesterdays post. The premise? Refusing to allow conscientious objection to union participation forces people to fund the Democrat agenda. How can you claim to support Republican principles when you refuse to allow people the ability to opt out of paying union dues.)

You Can’t Be A Republican And Vote Against Right To Work

Supporting forced unionization is the same as supporting mandatory campaign contributions to the Unions and the Democrat party. There is no conceivable way to separate the two. Unions are funded by dues. Democrats receive millions of dollars from unions to promote their agenda. And in some cases to promote it violently.

You can’t separate the two.

Republican Defectors

by Steve MacDonald

I think I made my point about Right To Work clear enough when I said this…

A vote to sustain the Lynch Veto and permit forced unionization is a vote for the mandatory and state funding of abortion; financing efforts to cripple or bypass our second amendment right to self defense; you are supporting state financed birth control, confiscation of property, increased taxation and broad based taxes, an expanding regulatory state and more centralized top down government, gimmick accounting, Gay marriage, genderless bathrooms, seat belt laws, the food police, socialized medicine, restrictions on free and corporate speech, and the entire manifold of Democrat party policy wishes which those dollars will continue to support and advance as long as workers are denied the opportunity to decide if they are willing to fund these policies or not on their own.

Unfortunately for New Hampshire we’ll have to wait until next year to fix the problem of worker choice but in the mean time, we can enjoy the benefit of the roll call vote, posted on the Jump.

One point of interest: Union bought and paid for RINO Kevin Janvrin voted against Right to work. That and so much more on the jump.

SEA Sows The Dissent In Littleton NH – More Proof We Need Right To Work

by Steve MacDonald

Reasons to override the Lynch veto on Right to Work continue to Mount. Yesterday–buried between the videos from the Steak Out–I asked how you could call yourself a Republican and be against right to work because forced unionization is an automatic funding mandate for the entire left wing agenda. How do you promote Republican principles while forcing others to finance people bent on their destruction. Workers deserve the choice to conscientiously object to that agenda and its affect on the nation.

As if to prove my point, in today’s Union Leader, we see another example of why workers need the freedom to shun union abuse and how Unions with deep pockets and national connections, try to pressure small towns. In March the town of Littleton decided it had to cut its budget. The economy being what it is who can blame them. The $745,000.00 dollar budget savings resulted in having to fire one police officer. According to the article, two days later the SEA, New Hampshire’s State Employee ASSociation called for a Boycott of 13 businesses in town that supported the reduction.

So trying to manage your town budget to keep spending within your means can result in the cry-baby Union using intimidation tactics on the local business community.

I’d Check with Ray or The SEA

by Steve MacDonald

Tactics are everything for Democrats and nothing is beyond the pale. Just think Project Gunrunner in which a left wing narrative about American guns in the hands of Mexican drug lords is brought to life by the Obama Administration when facts failed to support the desired conclusion. So when I read this report this morning, of racially tinged graffiti painted on several houses in Concord, I got suspicious.

Tim Buckland reports for the Union Leader…

Ngendahayo returned home from church Sunday to find the message, which called his family “subhuman” and told them to leave. The message, several lines long, was also found on the homes of other African immigrants living at another Perley Street house and at a home on Downing Street…

I’m sorry but this is just tailor made to be some left wing scheme.

Harrel Tweets On Right To Work

by Steve MacDonald

HKirstein%20RTW.JPG So here we have New Hampshire Democrat Party Propaganda Minister Harrell Kirstein sharing some cherry picked wisdom.

"7 of 10 poorest states are RTW4Less states…blah blah blah."

My first thought is, define poor? (…without getting into this and this.)

Poor, like rich, is an elastic concept which our friend Harrell and the Demolition party stretch to fit their narrative. It looks at wages but ignores things like cost of living, tax burden and relies entirely on total annual income as an arbitrary line drawn on a national chart, to define poverty, irrelevant of any other factor. But it is these factors that affect wages and as it turns out, states without Right to Work are exponentially more expensive places to live. So even if you are working for less income, you’re spending exponentially less of it on things you need to live a comfortable life. And here’s one very critical example of that.

Out of State Influence Gets ‘Republican’ Kevin Janvrin Elected.

by Steve MacDonald

Sitting atop their mountains of out of state money thNH Democrats are forever demagoging the issue (of outside influence). So I am waiting patiently for them to denounce the newly elected Republican House Rep from Rockingham county, Kevin Janvrin, who has finance reports just screaming extremist, outside influence.

The Biggest Special Interest Of All

by Steve MacDonald

Two Sheets Please There’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?

John Lynch Goes Gay (Sort Of)

The Ray and Kathy Show has this gag they do all the time where they complain about outside money or special interests on the right affecting local elections. It’s a serious gas because everyone knows it’s actually a projection upon others of their own involvement with deep-pocketed outside interests with which they then exert pressure upon the local worker bees doing the Yeoman’s work at hiding their radical left wing agenda. But they think it works so we try to play along. Case in point: Governor John “Liar” Lynch was recently taken to task for saying one thing and doing another on the not uncontroversial subject of same sex marriage. Lynch flip flopped and plenty of us asked if someone put the thumb screws on our diminutive chief executive.

No, no. Lynch is his own man concerned about equality and civil rights, Blah blah blah.

Enter into the debate this article by Lou Chibbaro Jr. from The Washington Blade, which bills itself as "the lgbtq community resource." The article is titled, “Rare Peek behind closed doors of secret gay donor confab.” In the article Lou Chibbaro jr reveals for us the internal happenings at an event on May 15^th to May 16^th (just two weeks ago). It’s was..

A Smudge On The “Teflon” John

by Steve MacDonald

Mr. Lynch also wants’ you to assure you that NOM’s out of state influence should not be taken seriously. He is just concerned about out of state money affecting local politics. But what he’d rather you not discuss is how much out of state money he’s been using for political speech to keep himself ensconced in the governor’s office up in Concord.

More Out Of State Money To NH Democrats

Nothing says “out of state money” like EMILY’s List (EL) a single issue ideological PAC interested in only one thing—women who will support all abortion, all the time, on your dime. And could you have guessed that EMILY’s List loves New Hampshire democrats? Would you be more surprised at the qualifications these liberal women must … Read more
