Just in case you didn't get the memo, here it is:
Elect good people to Federal office in the primary, or your base will run to us.
We only need 4% to "win"

“The only reason the four families are facing this situation is because a Botswana judge is using the [United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the CRC] to impose his subjective view regarding education and to substitute his opinion as to what [...]
We’ve written so many times before about how ex-Nazi and international financial criminal George Soros is the funder of most all progressive far left groups.
Sadly, he owns and controls the current reigning party in our government including the president. He has funded small groups right here in NH that have made a few failed [...]
I enjoy creative political ads and the more humor they put in them the better I like them, even if it is bad humor. Bill Binnie stayed positive until his numbers started to eclipse CK’s then the Cornerstone group started attacking him, then he came back after CK Aoyette, then CK came after him.
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.
Mike is running for Sheriff of Rockingham County in a crowded field. Mike is from Salem, NH and I knew him when he was trooper out of Troop A and also as a Salem Police Officer, when I was working as a State Probation/Parole Officer out of Derry.
Mike was always a good guy to work with, quiet, organized, capable and efficient. You couldn’t ask for a better person to work with, if you needed support on the street or police reports he made sure you had them.
Interesting movie trailer…

It may taste really bad but...
...at least you know what it tastes like."
This is essentially the message behind "Crazy Uncle Charlie" Bass' upcoming political ad, to be aired the week before the September 14th primary.
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—
There was a recent letter to the editors from the treasurer of the Tri Town Republican group attacking Bill Binnie for having too much money and calling republicans who disagree with the tri-town malcontents. That’s a lot of name calling for one letter; I don’t think I can match that.
The letter writer, when he was chairman of tri-town, if I remember right was a big backer of Craig Benson. I don’t have anything against Craig; but, I think he was rich and spent about 13 million dollars to win the governor’s seat only to find out that politically it was one of the weakest positions in the state.
In the farewell speech that she gave on her way out the door, chief economic adviser Dr. Christina Romer admitted that the Obama administration stimulus that she helped to design has been a miserable failure.
The Obama administration’s fiscal stimulus was meant to boost aggregate demand and get the economy going again. Estimates of GDP show that the United States is still 6% under its pre-crash trend, and that her plan hasn’t worked as expected.
“The United States still faces a substantial shortfall in aggregate demand… this shortfall in demand, rather than structural changes in the composition of our output… is the fundamental cause of our continued high unemployment,” Romer told the crowd at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
And since the stimulus yielded such dismal results, Dr. Romer advised that we do it again.
Romer today called for a second round of fiscal stimulus to further boost aggregate demand, a tacit admission that her first round was a failure:
While we’d all like to find the inexpensive, magic bullet to our economic troubles, the truth is, it almost surely doesn’t exist. The only surefire way for policy makers to increase aggregate demand in the short-run is for the government to spend more and tax less. And in my view we should be moving forward on both fronts… the key is that we need to take action, and we need to do it quickly.
The "tax less" part won't play well in lefty circles where resident geniuses demand that tax cuts be paid for while bailouts be borrowed. Whatever. It's all such a mystery.
“To this day, economists don’t understand why firms cut production as much as they did, or why they cut labor so much more than they normally would,” said Romer. “The current recession has been fundamentally different from other post-war recessions… Rather than being caused by deliberate monetary actions, it began with interest rates at low levels… Precisely what has made it so terrifying, and so difficult to cure, is that we have been in largely uncharted territory.”
Gee Doc, do you think the impending regulatory and economic one-two punch from ObamaCare and other "reforms" might have discouraged private businesses from staffing up? It appears she does not, nor has it occurred to anybody else in this utterly clueless administration.
An officer who has been recognized by MADD on several occasions for cracking down on drunk driving has crashed into and killed a cyclist with his cruiser while he was on duty and drunk, an old law making pinball games illegal in NY is being used to shut down a pinball museum, after finding no drugs in a Iowa home police charge the entire home with being disorderly, and Philadelphia spends millions to go through citizens’ garbage and to fine people if they fail to recycle properly.http://www.freemindstv.com
Hmmm, wasn’t so long ago that we had the leftist cabbie-stabber.
Now we have this guy who wants the Discovery Channel to save the earth.

Interesting video. Wonder how many people have considered just who it is that is getting all these abortions?
“LBJ’s War on Poverty policies broke apart the Black family. Why aren’t they talking about that? That’s why I became a conservative” says the woman in the video which is a clip from Runaway Slave.
Is it absurd to think that a guy who earned almost $400,000.00 last year, and probably something similar in preceding years, would have no additional income to declare to the Federal election Commission. No savings accounts, no IRA's no investments of any kind?
How about a guy who was also a lobbyist at least somewhat familiar with the election laws about money in politics?
