I’ve been a strong supporter of Palin ever since she was named the VP. I viewed her as being one of the few who is honest as well as being a real conservative. However, this past year she started to concern me with her support of Carly Fiorina. She also stated that she didn’t know much about Elena Kagan during an interview on Greta earlier this year.

This one, however, may be the one that actually puts me over the edge.

I love this statement from Palin’s endorsement:
“When Planned Parenthood challenged New Hampshire’s parental notification law, Kelly fought them all the way to the Supreme Court and won.”

Too bad in the future that other AG’s most likely won’t have the same luck with the Supreme Court due to RINO’s like Ayotte supporting far left radicals like Sotomayor to be nominated.

I wonder how Ayotte thinks Sotomayor would’ve voted in that case???

As for Palin, I like how she calls Ayotte a “commonsense conservative”.

Yeah, she called the Cap and Tax/Stimulus supporting Carly Fiorino the same thing when she endorsed him at the expense of Chuch DeVore.

Palin’s endorsements are clearly motived by something else other that conservatism here. Frankly, it’s quite arrogant for her to have the nerve to tell the people of New Hampshire who the best qualified real conservative is.

I wonder how Palin would feel if that parental notification law or another case to provide funding for abortions was upheld due to a RINO like Ayotte nominating a radical leftist in Sotomayor!

Did either of your support this radical, far left, racist judge?

Or do you guys just think it really isn’t that big of a deal?

However, I understand and respect Ayotte’s position on the issue. She takes a traditional view of the advise and consent process, the kind that was in place before the Dems tried to destroy Bork and Thomas. She opposed Kagan by the way, largely due to the military recruiting issue. So basically she has the same position as Pat Toomey and we all know what a left winger he is. Not.

Check out items #1, 2, 3, 6, and 7. If that doesn’t scare the hell out of you, than nothing will.

So she supports send a far left radical to SCOTUS and is AGAINST my right to defend myself in my own home??

BTW: The Rochester 912 group which is comprised of real conservatives who respect and revere the Constitution is strongly against Ayotte and firmly behind Ovide.

Didn’t they teach you to think for yourself at Temple University?

Let me see ……one time governor Sarah Palin endorse first time candidate Kelly Ayotte for Senate and we are suppose to take it on your authority as an New Hampshire outsider (like Sarah) that Kelly is the chosen one for us.

Two time US Senator Gordon Humphrey from NH, who was the Jim DeMint of the Senate before there was a Jim DeMint, endorses Ovide Lamontagne and who he has known for 30+ years.

You can lecture me about NH politics AFTER you have spent 30+ years in the state like I have.

I stand by my previous posts:

I would prefer someone more conservative like Ovide. Especially in a year like this where it seems like Hodes will lose to any Republican. But unfortunately Ovide is getting zero traction and could only result in the nomination of someone truly atrocious.

However, there is a primary candidate who is probably the most liberal serious Senate candidate running in a GOP primary this year, Bill Binnie. Binnie is more liberal than Tom Campbell and Mike Castle, and that is saying something, Binnie is not just a RINO, but is a liberal Democrat in disguise. As with Campbell and Castle, I would be unwilling to support Binnie even in a general election, although in this year he would beat Hodes easily.

Kelly Ayotte is a common sense conservative who is good enough for me. I expect her to stray from the line occasionally, but not enough to take the chance of seeing Binnie nominated,

So, let me get this right. You think that a hole bunch of us NH GOP primary voters should get together and decide that we should pool our voting block to vote for Ayotte, rather than the candidate we want, to make sure that Binnie doesn’t somehow win the primary.

What in God’s name makes you think that those of us that support Ovide and want him to win, give a damn about the fact that Ayotte entered the race 6 months before everyonelse?

She has done NOTHING to warrant us giving her our vote. She has to earn our vote. That’s why we have a primary.

Have you not even bothered to to clic on to my posts before you call be a liar? A liar? Stick a sock in it. If you knew nothing about what I said you would know that I DON’T support Binnie and I DO support Ovide over Ayotte. It’s not that hard to figure out.

Why should I waste a lot of my time talking about Bill Binnie. Somehow you think this post is about supporting Binnie:

Wake up

In CA we had a guy who was the most Conservative, an ultra-liberal Republican, and a reasonably Conservative Republican. The most Conservative guy was in last place, the ultra-liberal was in first, and the moderately Conservative candidate was in second. It was clear that Conservatives needed to unite behind the moderate Conservative to keep the far left candidate from winning, but some chose to ignore that and go with the losing guy simply because he was the most Conservative. Happily one of those people wasn’t Sarah Palin, she endorsed Fiorina and the rest is history. Now we as Conservatives actually have a candidate on the ballot in California in November, something we wouldn’t have had if Campbell had won, it would’ve been far left vs farther left.

Its a similar deal in NH, happily Ayotte is already in the lead, albeit not a comfortable enough lead for my liking. She’s not as Conservative as the other Conservative in the race no doubt, but she’s WAAAY better than Binnie. If it was all Conservatives in the race we could argue ‘most Conservative vs most electable’ and it would be an interesting discussion, I might even go with Ovide in such a scenario, but this is a situation that calls for Conservatives to rally behind the only Conservative that can beat the far left guy in the primary. Sarah Palin has done just that, and we should all follow her head.

That both Binnie and Ayotte are really bad candidates.

Honestly I’m not so sure that Binnie is worse than Ayotte. Just take a look at Ovide’s reaction to Palin’s endorsement:

http://www.redhampshire.com/ovide-comments-on-palin-endorsement/

“I have great respect for Governor Palin and her contributions to our Party, but today, she endorsed a liberal in Kelly Ayotte who embraced the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor, who previously supported earmarks before her election year conversion, who administered and encouraged the Obama stimulus in New Hampshire and who authorized the unconstitutional Kelo style government theft of $110 million in private funds.”

In addition take a look at items #2 and #6 below:

http://www.redstate.com/travelkingnh/2010/07/14/nh-senate-race-10-reasons-why-kelly-ayotte-is-not-a-conservative/

Doesn’t exactly give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. So now Palin as endorsed Ayotte along with McAmesty and Gregg.

I’ve always liked Palin but she has endorsed McAmnesty and Fiorino.

To me Ayotte seems like she’ll be another Gregg, who will stand up to the major issues like Obamacare, but will bend when it comes to the judges and a few other issues such as earmarks, etc.

This is exactly the type of thing we need to avoid.
