In the upcoming Presidential election, our country, our ideals, our philosophy and ultimately our way of life, which has kept America as a world leader and beacon of hope for the past 200+ years face the greatest challenge in our history.

This challenge comes not from an outside threat, although we certainly face those, but from within, from those determined but severely misguided individuals who would like nothing better than to turn America into another one of the socialist states that exist in Europe or other parts of the world.

If we allow the election of Barack Hussein Obama to the Presidency, then we will find ourselves on a dangerous and perhaps irreversible course to oblivion, and the dust bin of history.

• Obama's inexperience and extreme left-wing voting record is more dangerous than any threat we face today
• The Rev. Wright debacle reveals Obama's poor judgment of character and deceitful nature
• It won't be politics of change with President Obama — it will be liberal politics as usual

Obama is the most unqualified and ill-equipped individual that could ever be mistakenly elected as our President. His only qualification (??) comes from his public speaking. In speaking with and listening to those who support him, the common thread one hears is that he is so inspiring and uplifting. Well, so were Adolph Hitler, Benito Mussolini and Fidel Castro, but look what they did for Germany and Italy in the 1940’s or what Cuba is today.

DO YOU REALLY WANT SOMEONE LIKE THEM ELECTED AS OUR PRESIDENT?

Obama is carefully pandering to a smorgasbord of target groups, following the lead of other like minded individuals in his party such as Nancy Pelosi and Howard Dean.

Nancy Pelosi : “ "We democrats are going to address this issue after the election when we take control of the congress. We will return to the 60% to 80% tax rates on the rich and we will be able to take at least 30% of all current lower Federal Income tax payers off the roles and increase government income substantially. We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income in our country and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest."

When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied ; "We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long ways to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as "Americans".

Howard Dean : In 2004, the current head of the Democratic National Committee, while speaking to a party gathering in New York, told them “I hate Republicans and everything they stand for”

My response would be: “Well Howard, we don’t think much of you and your party of compassion and understanding either”

More on Obama’s qualifications.

One would be hard pressed to find documentable and quantifiable evidence of his contributions to his constituency as either an Illinois or US elected official. In the words of an Illinois resident and voter: “In 2006 we elected him to the United States Senate, and two days later he started running for President and has not done one meaningful thing for the people of Illinois.”

As a US Senator Obama has a reputation for voting “present,” thus avoiding controversial decisions that could be used against him later. In the U.S. Senate, he has missed more than one in five votes. Only one of the measures Obama has sponsored as a U.S. senator was enacted: a bill to “promote relief, security, and democracy in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Contrary to Obama’s portrayal of himself as a unifier, on every bipartisan effort in the Senate to forge compromises on tough issues, Obama has been missing in action.

In sum, it would be difficult to imagine a more mediocre record. Most candidates for dog catcher have contributed more to society. Yet with the help of adoring reporters, Obama has managed to parlay extraordinary speaking and political skills into a presidential campaign built on sand.

The idea that America might entrust its security and future to someone who has never demonstrated an ability to get anything of significance done is scary.

It is remarkable, and more than a little un-nerving to watch the mainstream media, and note how soft is their touch on Barack Obama. It appears there’s a desire on the part of many in the mainstream media to recreate the Camelot years of John F. Kennedy, in the hope that Barack, his wife Michelle, and their young children can be like the Kennedys of old. And so we will have the rose-colored glasses probably throughout the campaign .

There are those in the media, and the East Coast, West Coast bastions of liberalism who view the upcoming election as an un-necessary formality. Having anointed Obama as the chosen one, these liberal elitists, and their supporters, see no reason why it should be necessary to entrust the outcome to the unknowing masses of voters in flyover country. It began with the presumptive nominee’s trip to the Middle East and Europe. The Obama campaign began referring to the candidate as if he already were president. That, while politically risky, is certainly understandable. What is not understandable is how many in the media went along with what the campaign fed them. They began to treat the senator from Illinois as if he already had been elected president. These are media types who believe that perception is reality. If they can convince the electorate that Sen. Obama already is president the election will become a mere formality. In fact, the election is a sort of tolerated nuisance in their eyes.

The Democratic party, in its quest for power, has created a “Messiah-Like” image of an individual who fails every reasonable test of leadership, other than the fact he is one of most radical, leftist thinking people one could encounter in their lifetimes, and anyone who dares criticize or speak negatively of Obama is either a bitter, gun-toting religious nut or a racist or both, and will be demonized and denigrated for doing so.

In a recent campaign event, Obama stated that his opponent was running a campaign designed to scare voters. Well, I for one, was already scared, and that feeling only grows stronger with the passing of each day.

In the words of Jon Voight, (One of the few Hollywood types who is not afraid to speak out against the prevailing mindset that exists there) “With what Obama has openly stated about his plans for the military, and his demonstrated lack of understanding of the true nature of our enemies, there is not a cell in my body that can accept and believe that as president he would keep us safe from the Osama Bin Laden’s of the world whose only goal is our downfall and destruction. This is a perilous time, and more than ever the world needs a unified and strong America. If, God forbid, we should see Obama elected president, we will find ourselves in a socialist era, the likes of which have never been seen in America before, and our country will be weakened in every way.”

In conclusion, to meet this unprecedented threat, we need to mobilize all of our resources and focus every effort in not only electing Senator John McCain our next president, but in taking back control of Congress. For if we fail, then our future will indeed be bleak. We need only to look to our south to see what not only New Hampshire, but our entire country will become like. That being the “Socialist Peoples Republic of Massachusetts”, where a “State of Oneness” exists. Such a state being defined as “One Citizen, One Vote, One Candidate, One Party, One Way of Thinking.

By Pam Manney Candidate County Commissioner of Hillsborough County, District 3.

I am running for County Commissioner because I believe I can do things in a different way that will lead to better results for the County, County employees and the taxpayers who foot the bill.

My campaign will focus on Open government; Efficient County Operations; Respect for the voters, taxpayers and employees of HillsboroughCounty; and being a team player with those who work for, do business with, and pay for County Operations.

As my record shows, I believe in being accessible to constituents, open government and working as a team player.

I will use the experience I have gained over the years in Municipal, State and County Government to provide the most efficient County services, ensuring equity for county employees, while maintaining fiscal responsibility.

What is County Government and what does a County Commissioner do?

Some of the questions I¢m always asked while out on the campaign trail is, "What is County Government, why do we need it and what does it do for me"?

County government has been around since colonial days and provides valuable services to its residents that are not always provided by local or state government.

The day to day financial management and control of county assets and liabilities are vested in the County Commissioners who are given authority over the general management and control of the Financial Affairs of the County and County Property.

            County Government Saves taxpayer dollars

There is a belief that County Government is an unnecessary level of Government.

That thought couldn¢t be further from the truth as County Government actually saves the taxpayer dollars because small government is efficient government.

The County provides many services to you at a small cost on your property tax bill. You can imagine what the increase would be if your town had to absorb the cost of services now provided by the county!
Our taxes are high enough, and, with the ever increasing food and energy cost, the taxpayer doesn't need to have anymore added to their expenses and eliminating County Government would do just that.

             County Services and Community Programs

Some examples of County Services your County Commissioner has management and financial oversight of are:

1. Human Services Department
2. Office of County Attorney
3. Office of Registrar of Deeds
4. Office of County Sheriff
5. County Nursing Home
6. Department of Corrections

Some examples of County support to other agencies

1. St. Joseph's Community Services
2. Family Intervention Program
3. Intensive Juvenile Intervention Program

Some examples of programs that benefit Hillsborough County communities

1. Southern New Hampshire Services
     - the place to go when you need help - fuel assistance, housing, medical, schooling.....
2. HCDOC Community Service Program
3. Incentive Fund Program

It's time for a fresh perspective in County Government and you can depend, that when elected, I'll be just that. And, as your County Commissioner, you¢ll know what¢s going on in your County Government and what services are available to you because I¢ll make sure the services are posted on the county website in a clear and user-friendly fashion and I¢ll make sure the minutes and agendas are posted on the website so you¢ll know how your County tax dollars are being spent.

Please vote Pam Manney on Tuesday, September 9, 2008.

by Bill Boyd (R) Candidate for Hillsborough County Register of Deeds

For most Americans, financial security occurs through home ownership. Even in this time of economic uncertainty, home ownership has been one of the most steady and sure ways to build toward the dreams that so many families seek – a steady retirement, college for their children and security throughout one's life. Because of this, the mechanisms that track and record real estate transactions must be efficient, accessible and, most importantly, error-free.

This is the job of the Register of Deeds.

My name is Bill Boyd and I am running for Register of Deeds for Hillsborough County. The official records of every real estate transaction in the county are tracked at its offices in Nashua. By itself, the Registry of Deeds can be a very interesting place, with records of great personal intrigue, deep despair and family successes dating back before the founding of our country. However, there is often confusion and questions regarding the role of the Register of Deeds and how it affects the public.

Whether you are a real estate title examiner, a broker, an attorney or preparing to sell or purchase property, the accuracy of the Registry's database is critical in providing the best information possible to the consumer. With records that go back to 1771, and online records going back to 1966, there is a wealth of information available; but also the potential for errors and, more troublesome, identify theft and fraud. Fixing these problems can be quite expensive and time-consuming, and open the county up to litigation.

As a candidate for Register of Deeds, I take this responsibility very seriously. I will ensure that the records of property transactions in Hillsborough County are accurate and meet (or exceed) state standards. In a society where identity theft is prevalent, preserving these vital documents is paramount to the financial security of homeowners in Hillsborough County.

Simply put, a well-maintained and well-run Registry of Deeds saves taxpayers money by preventing unnecessary expense and litigation.

My campaign, "No Good Deed Goes Unrecorded," focuses upon three issues:

Economy: I am a fiscal conservative. It remains important that the Registry of Deeds continue to provide the county excellent services while strategically repositioning itself for the next real estate boom. Currently, the Registry makes more money than it spends while using its profits to reduce the county's property taxes. It will be my intent to continue this practice, ensuring that the registry exercises fiscal prudence within its budget while maintaining appropriate services.

Furthermore, as energy costs skyrocket, we should embrace energy efficiency by investigating whether solar energy to heat and power our facility would lower costs to the county taxpayer.

Efficiency: In an effort to move towards paperless technology, the Registry has adopted a program called "Simplifile." This allows consumers to make land transactions when it is most convenient for them. However, there is a fee to register for the program, along with the cost of printing documents. To further streamline the Registry's processes, I'd like to institute a first-time user program that would allow all people with Internet access the opportunity to print off a copy of their deed at no charge. Integrating local libraries into this program will provide immediate access to those users without the Internet. Utilizing existing and newer technologies will be critical in managing the Registry's resources.

Transparency: The public should know more about how local land transactions are impacting their lives. The Register of Deeds provides public service to the community at large as a land records manager, and as a conduit of information on matters affecting the public as it relates to real estate. Developing an Internet message board to communicate and educate the public about current registry issues and real estate matters would provide real time updates to users.

Managing the Registry of Deeds is a full-time job requiring a full-time commitment. As we continue to move the Registry into the Information Age, easier online information services with efficient document technology, combined with effective fiscal management will be vital to continue and improve upon the level of services for Hillsborough County.

Now that you know the issues, please take the opportunity to learn more about me at www.boydnh.com. You can also contact me at bill@boydnh.com. I hope to earn your support and vote on Tuesday, Sept. 9.

Bill Boyd is a Republican candidate for Register of Deeds and a Merrimack resident.

Today in the ancient news icon of New Hampshire, the Union Leader, Jay Ambrose laments the waning influence of newspapers and their financial hardships. I find it hard to share his emotions. He discusses the inability of other news sources to provide the same level of credibility, the same amount of information, or appeal to the same broad audiences that newspapers do. Give me a break.

I have been trying for about a week to get a letter to the editor published, one much more polite and less inflammatory than the readers of nhinsider may have seen, and using the most gentile argument possible, stating my belief that the threat of conflict with Iran has been the major player in the rise of oil prices. I got an extremely volatile version, utilizing the fullness of the capabilities of the English language, published online within five minutes reaching the largest audience possible.

The mainstream media has clogged the information market with ideas that too much buying and selling in Chicago and London is why oil is too expensive or that in the last few years supply has screeched to a halt, while demand has quintupled. None of these arguments make any sense. I truly believe the energy markets have been bracing for yet another war, something that has been considered a very real possibility, and that war with Iran who has been reported to have sleeper cells in Saudi Arabia and throughout the gulf ready to sabotage oil production, would mean a break down in global oil production…something the CIA has been warning about for years. But, because so many intelligent people have bought into either of these other brilliant arguments and written extensively about them no newspaper in the country is willing to publish yet another opinion discussing why we are facing the threat of depression.

Frankly, I am glad to see the rise of internet news. It is wild. It is crazy. There are kooks. There are hotheads. There are those who walk the line that separates fringe thought from mental illness. And there are those who are so committed to providing their unvarnished opinions without the aid of an editor that the news becomes unpolished and much more human.

Attempting to invade the mainstream media with a factoid of heartfelt opinion is a depressing ordeal, while attempting to share with those of New Hampshire willing to ride the crazy wave of open source information is like a warm knife through butter. So, the king is dead you say? Whatever… Long live the king.
