Village Pundits Sneering At Women’s Issues
Something has been bothering me the last couple of days, and it isn’t just the way Akin’s comments about women and their magical powers to stop pregnancy while being raped blew open the door on how Republicans like Paul Ryan don’t believe in choice, even for victims of crimes, and would use abortion bans to [...]
Why, Charlie? Thought you were the party of responsibilty.
One has to wonder why Republicans want to repeal the health insurance reform plan that they themselves developed through the Heritage Foundation, supported for years by their leadership. The Heritage Foundation Plan was initiated in MA by none other than Mitt Romney, the Republican candidate for President, while he was the governor of MA from [...]
Northern Exposure

My local paper is beginning to cover the candidates for state representative in Carroll County. This past week saw a story about former Rep. Norman Tregenza of Madison, who resigned during the DJ Bettencourt ethics scandal, because he’d moved out of his district. Norm is running for office again, in the new floterial district, where [...]
Rep. Hikel Said What?
Every time I think the Republicans in the legislature can’t possibly think of anything new to do to outrage us, they manage to come up with something. In today’s version of Planet O’Brien, John Distaso reports in the UL online that Rep. John Hikel, R-Goffstown, candidate for the state senate, repeatedly and loudly called Pamela [...]
DJ Bettencourt’s Inaccurate Spin Cycle
DJ Bettencourt sent his Repuiblican house colleagues an e mail trying to spin the UNH poll numbers which show voters supporting Democrats pretty much across the boards. One item that caught my eye is his statement that There is nearly a 20% gender gap in support for Republican candidates over Democrats. While the two genders [...]

House Democrats were busy today fighting against the radical House GOP social agenda. House Republicans (for the 469th day) have failed to live up to their promise of focusing on jobs and the economy. I know it is a bit long, but I wanted to give you the “highlights”…85 Republican State Reps voted for House [...]
Is Mitt Romney “Severely Freudian?”
If you are like me, you are probably still poking your finger in your ear trying to figure out if you heard Mitt Romney correctly when he called himself a “Severely conservative Republican.” That one goes in the gaffe hall of fame for numerous reasons. Here is a new radio ad that my organization AmericanLP [...]
Notes of concern
Points of interest. – About 200 turned out for the anti-equality rally this afternoon. – House speaker O’Brien was there and said the bill was a priority for him, regardless of what DJ’s list said. – There was no counter-protest. Bishop Robinson was there, I believe, and a couple of people from NH Families to [...]
What the Hell is going on with the Republican Party?
To Democrats, moderates, progressives, liberals and independents, i.e. 60% of America; it is, indeed, a confusing political time. While many of us want Obama to win re-election, most of us concede that any incumbent President running for re-election with 8.5% unemployment is highly vulnerable and likely to be defeated. So it just seems weird that [...]
