Both my grandsons (0.00 / 0)

did the International Baccalaureate program at a public high school in MD, great prep for college, really challenging.  Be a shame to make that completely unavailable for NH kids.

Election Law (0.00 / 0)

Why is is that Republicans are so preoccupied with making it harder to vote?  Considering that they're the ones who pull funny business during elections, the logical conclusion is that they want to make it prohibitive for certain groups to vote.

The NH GOP (4.00 / 3)

has been silent for the first time in years on the topic of "voter fraud." Apparently it's only fraudulent when Democrats win.

As usual, "Personal LIberty" only applies to white, male, heterosexuals.

I see nothing here that will take us into the future. The GOP is firmly rooted in 1855.

You're saying they respect my rights (0.00 / 0)

as a white, male, heterosexual college student?

I'm pretty sure they'd like to stop me from voting.

You're being too inclusive (0.00 / 0)

Personal liberty applies only to white, male, wealthy, Christiany, capitalist, handgun-carrying heterosexuals.  I might be leaving out a few qualifiers.

One good thing about this election season..... (0.00 / 0)
