Tony Duh-Fruscia

Anthony DiFruscia is a democrat from Massachusetts who snuck north and infiltrated the GOP.  (Not an uncommon problem for the Granite State). No one had the stones to call him out on it, and year after year he has managed to keep his seat in a Republican leaning district from which he has meddled in other republican races to keep real conservatives from getting elected.

He recently flirted with the idea of leaving the GOP and going with an (I) instead of an (R), but for some reason he’s still a republican and permitted to call himself one.

In response to this a vocal group of actual republicans have risen up to exercise their first amendment rights–making "incendiary" claims about how Mr. DiFruscia’s voting history and the actual GOP platform cannot be brought into alignment without first drinking yourself blind.  And they have this crazy idea that the platform actually means something, and that failing to even get close–maybe 80% of the time–is grounds for a much needed "correction."

Their evil plot?  Use the primary process for its intended purpose and inform the electorate about the records and choices of the people running to represent them.

In response to this free speech assault the bastion of conservative and constitutional (cough-cough) values that Duh-Fruscia presents to the electorate, has penned a letter which you can read after the jump..

Duh-Fruscia 2.0

Someone was kind enough to send me a sliver of NH House Rep Tony DiFrusica’s (R-INO) voting record–that part that makes his desperate clinging to the Republican party untenable. -Voted for HCR2   Endorsing the National Health Care Act  (Voted to endorse ObamaCare!)   -Voted for same-sex marriage (HB1590 & HB73)   -Voted against parental consent … Read more

By The Numbers

Have You seen how full of Sh*T I am?--It's all right here in this reportPaul Hodes is trying to restyle himself as a fiscal conservative.  As a Washington outsider.  But Washington outsiders don’t get huge campaign donations from the left wings senatorial elite Like Dan Inoyue, Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer and Bob Menendez. Paul Hodes does.

Fiscal conservatives don’t manage to come in 45th out of 435 in 2010 earmark requests.  Hodes did, then played at fiscal prudence, calling for reform only after having racked up more earmarks than 390 other House members.

In 2008 Hodes took a 10,000.00 dollar contribution from American Crystal sugar–a business looking for a way to break into ethanol production without burdensome upfront costs–the same year Hodes passed masive Ethanol hand-out farm bill mandates which he voted for, then overrode a veto to make it the law of the land.

Mr Hodes has the distinction of being in congress and voting for a budget and spending that resulted in a 400 billion dollar deficit, then campaigning as if he had nothing to do with, and then voting to triple that deficit to 1.4 trillion in the very next budget.

If you can believe it…there’s more on the jump.

Following Mahoney’s Money Part II -That Dog Just Won’t Hunt.

Under the direction of the disclosure-challenged Pat Hynes Sean Mahoney has surrounded himself with a group  of advertising and political consultants who all share a common thread.  They were all at some point (or still are) part of American’s for Job Security (AJS) and are connected to Mahoney and his Potemkin campaign.

Stephen DeMaura–from Cross Target Poll fame, is the current head of AJS.  Pat Hynes, according to at least one source, is still listed with the Virginia Secretary of State as an AJS director but regardless has been a director with the group; Hynes is of course also involved with CrossTarget, and in the employ of Mahoney to the current tune of at least $32,000.00.  Dave Carney is a former top staffer at AJS and the current CEO of Norway Hill Associates.  Norway Hill has netted over $28,000.00 from the Mahoney campaign for consulting and printing so far.  Michael Dubke, former head of AJS, runs Crossroads Media which is apparently in the same suburban Washington Office Park as AJS; Crossroads has been paid over $569,000.00 by Mahoney for advertising and consulting–mostly Radio and television I would guess.  Dubke, interestingly enough, is valued as an attack ad guy, which explains a spin off from Crossroads–Target Point Consulting which appears to focus on micro-targeting and research, probably for negative campaign  strategies.  Target point’s customers are a well kept secret, so we can hypothesize that Crossroads funnels money to them for research it uses in its ad campaigns for it’s customers, of which Mahoney is a big one.  And oh, look–Mahoney went negative.

Keep following the money–it get’s better.

Following Mahoney’s Money Part I

The recent polling done by CrossTarget for Americans For Prosperity (AFP) has too many links to Mahoney to be taken seriously as an outside poll.   And while trying to research the poll and the people connected to it, I discovered an almost incestuous collaboration of professional political consultants, and insiders to the Mahoney for congress checkbook that all circle around Americans For Job Security.

CrossTarget, the polling organization, was created by Stephen DeMaura and Patrick Hynes, both connected political insiders.  DeMaura is no fan of Guinta, and Hynes works for Mahoney.   So why would AFP choose CrossTarget for a poll given these obvious questions of conflict?  I have no idea why, but it was a bad call by Lewandowski and it questions AFP’s neutrality on the race if there even is one.

As for Hynes and DeMaura, they have connections to a more complex relationship with current and former members of AJS (maybe there’s no such thing a a former member of AJS) that conveniently lead repeatedly back to Sean Mahoney’s campaign expense report.

League Of Conservation Hodes-sters

LCV rolls out the fake grass matThe LCV (League Of Conservation Voters) has an entity registered with the New Hampshire Secretary of State (here) called the LCV political engagement fund, whose stated purpose is "providing grants to other non-candidate New Hampshire Political committees."

Normally we would assume this is to funnel special interest donor money into the state to hide targeted issue or candidate advocacy because that’s what all the other democrat fronts are for and Buckly loves to juggle the money back and forth through them so it’s almost impossible to figure out how the system has been gamed.  But this is a bit more straight forward.

And after someone sent me this ad on Craig’s List,(after the jump) it seemed very much like that could be exactly the purpose.

More Trouble Than They Are Worth

This would have to be filed away as a classic, not just because of its age–it’s a few years old–but because it reminds us of why we don’t want congress and congressman, working–and the busy-body ruling class in general–spending too much time in the swamp.  They cause more problems than they solve.     (Another … Read more

Silent Autumn?

The Carson-Gore Academy of Environmental Sciences in California (tin foil hats are mandatory) was built on top of a piece of contaminated land.  Oh yeah, baby.  There are, of course, ‘concerns’ for the welfare of the students. (The 75 million dollar School was named after Rachel Carson and Al Gore–Environmental scaremongering is probably also required.) … Read more

Another Biden Three Letter Word…Failure

Smells just like the health care bill, the bank bill, the...Underestimating, miscalculating, failing to anticipate, these are all excuses used by the democrats for a long caravan of failures that are more the product of blind trust by left-wing sheeple in the judgment of an administration that has been way over its head on every issue…since day one.

One of the biggest is the Stimulus.  Morgen Richmond over at Big Government has some actual numbers comparing the White House forecasts to actual Bureau of Labor figures over the last year. The point of course being that they sold you the all new 2009 Obama Stimulusmobile, (fashioned after the classics socialist economic models of the past) and it turned out to be a lemon just like it’s predecessors.

The affects should be far reaching.  Almost every air breather with a (D) not only bought the plan, they sold it as if their lives depended on it.  Not only were they stupid to believe it, they were wrong.  Way wrong.  So now they are pretending it worked.  Sure it did.

NH House Dems Travel To Oz

Problem Solved

I confess to being surprised that the progressives have not suggested building Planned Parenthood clinics along the border with Mexico as a solution to the anchor baby problem.  If reproductive freedom really is such a critical part of left wing America then the proper introduction for future undocumented  democrat voters should be to get them … Read more

A Place To Start–RINO’s For Lynch

RINO HuntingSkip made a good point (here).  That one of the reasons the baby killing, parent denying, taxing, spending, fund robbing, fibber John Lynch even has a shot at a "unprecedented fourth term" as governor, is because republicans vote for him.

He’s not a moderate.  He’s just a quiet liberal, you know the type. Well, no you don’t.  If you did, you would not vote for him.

While the pillory might be a bit excessive, knowledge is a powerful thing.  And so is history.  Back in 2008 Ed Naile was kind enough to publish the list for the ‘Republicans for John Lynch Steering committee.’

May we find them and steer them back to the right, or right out of the Republican party.

List on the jump. (Along with the town of residence at the time the list was compiled.)

Obama’s Department Of Injustice

 

Yeah, sure, I'll check your status

 

I have a friend who lives in Arizona.  He has connected me with some private business owners in the state.  When they are not "biting their thumbs" at the lackluster feds, and warming up the courtroom for another battle for state sovereignty they–and to be honest all American business–should understand that even if they are not in Arizona, they may have this to contend with.

Have you heard of the E-verify system.  It’s gotten more attention lately than that pretty new girl who just started at the local high School.   Both sides of the aisle (and plenty of the folks squatting in the aisle) are taking the opportunity to suggest that using e-verify is a better solution to the "undocumented worker situation" than new laws, the National Guard, or even M1 Abrams tanks and Constantino wire.

By using e-verify–or so the theory goes–you cut the illegal immigrant off from their reasons for being here (unless of course they already have a career in kidnapping, murder, and drug trafficking). But the fly in this ointment is enormous–and probably not well known; if you are a business and you use e-verify, let me preface what follows by quoting Gomer Pyle, Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!

From my contacts in Arizona…

…a business is in violation of the discrimination act if they don’t hire an employee because of e-verify.  Lawsuits have already been lost based on discrimination.

Did your right eyelid just start twitching uncontrollably?  Read on…

The Bill Binnie of NH CD-1?

Sean Mahoney is so politically popular that he has apparently had to loan himself some more money.  The Bill Binnie of NH-01 will have given his own campaign close to one million dollars.  Will that push him over the 90% self funded mark?  He was at 86% last time I did the math.  We’ll have … Read more

Obama’s “Real” Katrina

Do we need to bring our own weather stripping or does Obama supply it?Unemployment is up "unexpectedly."  It is up because the feds extended benefits and people came out of hiding to collect it.  That means very little has changed. Well, that’s not entirely true.  Add several trillion dollars in new and improved debt with job killing action, and a year of left wing rhetoric about how every bill that passed through congress was a jobs bill—

“Naming this pot hole after the ditch diggers daughter will create or save 850 Ka-trillion jillion jobs.”

—and we discover once again that the government can’t create meaningful jobs for American families even when it hires ditch diggers (or their more modern equivalent, home weatherizers).

Of course Obama is still working the "it could be worse shtick" which is predicated on a concept nonexistent during Republican administrations but no one is buying it.

 He’s only trying to save a few Senate seats because there can be no creating them.

Well Isn’t This ‘Rich’

As a follow up to this after doing some more digging here, I think that Cd-1 candidate Richard Ashooh must have taken out another mortgage on his home.  Interest rates are at historical lows!  I suspect this must be the case because he is reporting a loan to his campaign of $25,000.00 (here) but according … Read more
