North Grafton Republicans had Bill O’Brien for their
featured speaker last night. Bill is
running for US Senate, going up against Jeanne Shaheen, the democrat
incumbent. Bill has been around in NH
politics for a long time. Back about ten
years ago, when the Democrats had driven the state budget $1 billion into the
hole, Bill was speaker of the NH house.
He managed to cut the state budget 18%, bring it into balance, without
hiking taxes.
He opened his
remarks by saying that he was Trump before there was Trump. He doesn’t support Planned Parenthood, saying
that they are still selling body parts of aborted infants. Bill sees “identity politics”, beloved by
Democrats, as basically divisive, setting one group of Americans against
another group.
He is
against Occasional-Castro’s Green Nude Eel; he sees it as imposing fantastic
costs upon us citizens, as well as imposing harsh government controls on simple
necessities like heating oil.
Bill is in favor of
ending illegal immigration and sanctuary cities. He wants to fix the porous
asylum system, and stiffen border defenses.
He wants a strong economy, because a strong economy creates jobs, the
best thing we can do for people, and creates the wealth to deal with all the
rest of our problems. To which end he
opposes red tape and regulations, and opposes government takeover of
industries, and tax hikes. He thinks US
healthcare costs too much. He opposes
Medicare for All which would destroy Medicare and destroy private health
insurance.
Far as I am
concerned, Jeanne Shaheen has been a totally worthless Senator. She even wants
to abolish the Electoral College, which was put into the Constitution to even
things up between big states and small states.
New Hampshire is a small
state and we would be crazy to give up the needed extra political power that
the Electoral College gives us at the federal level. In opposing the Electoral College Shaheen is
opposing her constituents in New Hampshire
in favor of the DNC.
