US Senate candidate Jim Bender was back on New Hampshire Taxpayer Radio last night for a continuation of our interview. Despite invitations and overtures he has (so far) been the only US Senate candidate to take us up on the offer. Could he be the only one who sees value in connecting with the grass roots listeners and anti-tax advocates who listen to our program or download the podcasts every week? We've had congressman, governors, and candidates for same, and plenty of presidential hopefuls on the program in past years.
I bet it's those darn staffers. They just don't realize that value.

 The Revolving door is the millwork of connected Political insiders in Washington. These are the people that keep tax dollars flowing into the metastasizing tumor of big government, and through the veins of the groups that use the revolving door to feed their own wealth and influence. It is a fiscally incestuous relationship between power brokers who wander in and out of government; from lobbyists, to PR firms, to bureaucrats to Industry leade

Congressional District 2 candidate Bob Giuda was our guest in the second hour of New Hampshire Tax payer Radio last night. Bob is former military, worked in the FBI, and is presently a commercial Pilot flying a 777 on international flights for American Airlines.
Bob has a excellent grasp of the issues, domestic and foreign, and does a great job of articulating what his priorities are. I encourage you to check out his interview here.

Hollis resident and US Senate candidate Jim Bender was our guest last night on New Hampshire Taxpayer Radio.
Down size government, and do things that actually encourage growth in the economy. Get out of the way and let America do what it does best. Oh, and no on in Washington seems to have the slightest idea how to do either.
Jim also supports term limits on everyone in DC. Twelve years and out. This would keep the entitlement culture and lobbyist power at bay by making any investment in the political class a limited one.

In a district that is 36% Republican, 32% Democrat, and 32% Independent, Jeff Goley and the NH Democrat party, if I'm reading this right, spent close to $60K (maybe more by the final report) to turn a 4% registration deficit into a 16% loss. Talk about bad ROI.
Dave Boutin took every town, and every Ward, including Jeff Goley’s own Ward in a 58% to 42% sweep. Boutin collected 3796 to Goley’s 2756 with what looks like less than 17% of registered voters casting a ballot.

Senator Evan Bayh has announced he will not run again. His public reasoning is partisanship. He’s grown weary of all the bickering, and is disenfranchised by the inability of the Senate to get anything done. Has it occurred to the Senator that his parties blind and senseless partisanship (and his blind support of it) is the root of the evil of his undoing? One also has to wonder, though not terribly long, if he’d feel the same way if it were a Republican majority pushing an agenda public opinion objected to?

The Goley campaign has nothing to run on so it has set about lying in broad daylight in the slim hope that someone will buy in. Note the choice of words there? Buy in. Go along Goley has been using the citizens of New Hampshire as an ATM machine to finance his grow government first style of "follow-ship" so buying-in is not just a metaphor for belief. He's been bought and sold to the liberal spendaholic agenda. Jeff gladly spent 23% more of your money on government, imagining revenue, with no idea how to really pay for it, then voted liberally to extract those costs from your pocket when the money just never showed up.

Just this past week Rep Jeff Goley refused to prohibit lobbyists from serving on a public agency or public body where the lobbyist gains from the activity of the public agency or body. He also refused to return revenue to the towns, and voted against returning the revenue sharing rules back to pre 2009 levels. That would be the rules before the state spent so much in two consecutive budgets that they had to screw the towns out of even more revenue to try and balance their bloated state budget.
What does this say about Rep Goley? That he is all in on spending without knowing how to pay for it, but all out when it comes to giving money back to the people who earned it.

According to David Lang's twisted logic all firefighters are against parental notification, but I'll get to that in a moment.
The left wing has come out in defense of Jeff Goley and a deceptive mailer he sent out that claimed..
"As your state senator, Jeff Goley will lead the fight to reform the LLC tax,” and , "I will invest in small businesses and lead the fight to reform the LLC tax to help our economy grow."

Shenanigans with the Department of Education; a cadre of lefty legislators is working an end around to get Homeschooling rules implemented that the legislature just failed to pass. Apparently the will of elected officials and thousands of residents just isn’t good enough. So having grown weary of the legislative process of (dare I say it?) reform, it is time to take matters into their own hands.
My suggestion to them then, is to get out of the legislating business instead.

Anyone who wants to believe Paul Hodes is a cleaner than the average candidate should spend some time looking at who donates to his campaign. We already know Goldman Sachs—Rahm “the ATM” Emanuel’s former employer and major ATM to big left wing government—spends loads on Hodes, but a new contender invites fresh scrutiny.
FMR Corp out of Boston and its Fidelity Investments PAC, has appeared as second only to Goldman when it comes to ‘Big Banks’ that love Paul Hodes, and FMR presents some interesting connections.

It's about 9:20 pm and AP has called the race for Brown with just over 70% reporting. Brown has 53% of the vote at this point, and may well do better, but that hardly matters. Martha Coakley has conceded the race.
To say this is amazing is an understatement.

Democrats are mad at Bill Binnie who appears in a new ad campaign (in Massachusetts) funded by an outside group. They claim the ad is illegal because the group, Americans for Responsible Health Care, is funded or supported by Binnie, and federal law apparently prohibits such things.
The Binnie connection comes from an article in the Union leader in which he is quoted as having helped form the group. [Boston.com]
The Ad buy is only 200,000.00 which pales in comparison to the 750,000 Coakley's campaign just dropped for the weekend.
