Liberty Deniers

Last week the New Hampshire House voted against a bill to let tax payers adopt charter provisions establishing limitations on the growth of budgets and taxes.  The actual short text reads as follows:

This bill authorizes cities and towns to adopt charter provisions establishing limitations on the growth of budgets and taxes.

This Wednesday the New Hampshire House may get the opportunity to vote on HB 1343, AN ACT establishing a joint committee on the constitutionality of acts, orders, laws, statutes, regulations, and rules of the government of the United States of America in order to protect state sovereignty.

The default response by the Liberty-deniers on the left to the suggestion that we need to cut taxes is that education and public safety will be hurt by any effort to return the peoples money to the people.  It is chapter and verse for liberals to pry at the soft edges of the electorate with words of warning about how Republican efforts to shrink government will hurt their children, the elderly, or the disadvantaged.  And if you happen to disagree, they treat you like idiots for failing to be as smart as they think they are.  Just look at Chairman Buckley's response to the public beating taken by Jeff Goley yesterday.

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.

Jeff Goley is afraid to debate David Boutin.  He has been offered three different opportunities to face off against his Republican opponent and refused them all.  WMUR offered to host a debate, as did WGIR, and a third could have been held at Saint A's.  But Goley has refused all three.

You would think that the man Ray Buckley and the NHDP described as a guy who "has a proven record of fighting taxes and building a job friendly New Hampshire,"would want to stand up and defend his positions.  A man who could prove that in this economic and political climate could bury an unworthy opponent in a debate.  And then all the  money the NHDP spent on those mailers for Goley would be justified.

Are the New Hampshire House democrats censoring or deleting GOP blurbs—committee member comments on the House calendar that inform other House members why they voted the way they did in committee?    That seems to be the case.  And the House republicans are prepared to make a statement about it. 

So today may prove to be an interesting day in the House. Rumor has it things are going to slow down a bit to address this problem.

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.
