The one
thing you should never trust is the Senate Republican leadership. When it comes time to recruit for the
Republican ticket for the State Senate they will tell their intended targets
anything and promise them anything to get them to sign up. Then when they sign up it is “good luck kid
see you after the primary”; by the way we can’t get involved in primaries. Then spend many thousands of dollars to shore
up weak incumbents with primary challanges.
We seem to
have quite a lineup for State Senate Candidates this time one supposedly had
his pistol permit pulled for a domestic violence allegation, another is alleged
to have taken a homeless young lady into his family home and she alleged a
strange sexual relationship while she was in the home. Another reported case was an incumbent who,
it was alleged, asked a young mail intern to perform sex acts on him. Supposedly, this was reported to the senate
leadership who apparently covered it up.
Another was a you tube video of a State Senator, in a bar, and drunk as
a skunk; this is all ok because we can dispense with morals and what is right
and wrong because we need to maintain a Republican majority.
On the state
rep races some are predicting a 265 republican to democrat majority with, you
got it, the famous “Bill the Bully O’Brien” as speaker once again. If you remember the last time he was speaker
in two short years he turned the legislature into a cult and by doing that
brought down the whole republican agenda and we lost the house. Many of the same people who the voters
rejected during the last election, let’s call them Billy bots because they
couldn’t think for themselves, are running again. That includes a number of Free Staters who
are still hell bent on taking control of NH and frustrated they can’t. We have Free Staters and Free State backers
running in Exeter who are trying to keep a low profile knowing, like Exeter,
many communities will not vote for them.
As far as
the governor’s race goes, the last time Maggie was in charge of anything was
when she had a leadership position in the State Senate; she ran up a budget
deficit of about 100 million dollars. I
know I was on finance and tasked with closing the gap, we worked day and night
to do this and it was extremely difficult to cut state agencies and programs to
the bone but we did it. Now, that all
has to happen again. I have been told we
do have another 100 million dollar deficit which will require about a 10%
budget reduction. Maggie does not want
that number made official until after the election. I have also been told a big chunk of this
deficit is caused by expanded Medicaid which appears to have been sanctioned by
our Republican Senate Leadership, (shoosh, don’t say anything and maybe the
voters won’t notice).
I would
prefer elected officials who only vote with their leadership half of the time;
that way I know they are voting for their constituents the other half the time
which is a marked improvement over what we have now.
Senator
Shaheen, Congressmen Kuster and Porter I don’t think they have had an original
thought since Obama has been in office. Unfortunately, their Republican opposition
isn’t much better. I was in the State
Legislature with Both Guinta and Garcia.
Although I supported Innis in CD 1 in the primary I will hold my nose
with both hands and vote for Guinta, at least he won’t be a rubber stamp for
Obama, and he’ll be a Republican rubber stamp.
Fortunately I don’t have to vote for Garcia. While in the house Garcia was a very strong Billy
bot, who although smart and somewhat sophisticated her only claim to fame was
she played the harp; causing me to frequently call her harpo Garcia. In my
opinion she is not a leader, has no leadership abilities; but, she is a female
with a Spanish last name and that is what our Republican leadership wants.
I think
politically we are in trouble.
To leave a thought, as we know that Obama is the worst thing to happen
to our country in recent history, he didn’t vote himself into office!
