November 2007 the campaigners came to New Hampshire. The Primary is coming, the Primary is coming they cried. Vote for my guy, vote for my guy they did cry. Even if sometimes the guy was a girl.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To do my duty with so many names what was I to do. Many people where more than happy to direct me to sites to survey my views and line me up with a candidate. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I went to several and not to my surprise a guy I had voted for before was at the top of the heap. 65% agreement with Ron Paul, at last I could vote in a major party primary with conviction. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The dust has cleared the vote is near. If I listen to the media I have two choices the guy I agreed with 34% of the time or the guy I disagreed with 67% of the time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So search of a site I did. I found one but can&amp;rsquo;t pass it on because now they want a cell phone number to take their poll. Paul still number one but he is out. McCain wouldn&amp;rsquo;t even let him talk at the convention. One guy number 16 the other 26 of all the people that announced and ran. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oh but look at number 2 the Libertarian Bob Barr.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yes you do have a choice there are six people running for president with their names on the ballot in enough states to win the electoral vote. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why does the media ignore real choices?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To vote Libertarian or join the majority of Americans and stay at home on Election Day?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cs.newhampshire.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=11759" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://cs.newhampshire.com/blogs/pawlz_blog/archive/tags/Dartmouth_2F00_+Lake+Sunapee/default.aspx">Dartmouth/ Lake Sunapee</category><category domain="http://cs.newhampshire.com/blogs/pawlz_blog/archive/tags/claremont/default.aspx">claremont</category><category domain="http://cs.newhampshire.com/blogs/pawlz_blog/archive/tags/Political/default.aspx">Political</category><category domain="http://cs.newhampshire.com/blogs/pawlz_blog/archive/tags/Monadnock/default.aspx">Monadnock</category><category domain="http://cs.newhampshire.com/blogs/pawlz_blog/archive/tags/Merrimack+Valley/default.aspx">Merrimack Valley</category><category domain="http://cs.newhampshire.com/blogs/pawlz_blog/archive/tags/Lakes+Region/default.aspx">Lakes Region</category><category domain="http://cs.newhampshire.com/blogs/pawlz_blog/archive/tags/Great+North+Woods/default.aspx">Great North Woods</category><category domain="http://cs.newhampshire.com/blogs/pawlz_blog/archive/tags/Seacoast/default.aspx">Seacoast</category></item><item><title>dead of night</title><link>http://cs.newhampshire.com/blogs/pawlz_blog/archive/2008/10/02/dead-of-night.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 02 Oct 2008 11:09:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">7b375189-dcc7-4af7-b4d3-2fc751a0220e:11440</guid><dc:creator>PaulofNH</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://cs.newhampshire.com/blogs/pawlz_blog/comments/11440.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://cs.newhampshire.com/blogs/pawlz_blog/commentrss.aspx?PostID=11440</wfw:commentRss><description>In the dead of night our senators voted for&amp;nbsp;

The drive thru line smaked around the building and out on to Wasnington street.&amp;nbsp; Why not a drive thru fee.&amp;nbsp; 50cents per order.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I suggest this for three reasons.&amp;nbsp; First it will get some of us off our fat duffs, out of the car and into the fresh air.&amp;nbsp; Imagine the calories waddled off on the stroll into the coffe shop, bank, resturant Pharmacy etc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Second by shutting off the car it will save energy.&amp;nbsp; Yes if you have to idle more than thirty seconds it saves fuel to shut the car off and turn it back on.&amp;nbsp; Get ecersise and save money.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;third revenue first for the state but how about 10 cents of it going to the host community.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Id it the trans fat or the we are fat.&amp;nbsp;

Let me try to explain from a tax payers point of view.&amp;nbsp; If the cost of living goes up then reapprasiles, new construction should increase the tax base.&amp;nbsp; Tax base times rate should show an increase of money avalible for the city to spend.&amp;nbsp; You don&amp;#39;t need to raise the rate every year.&amp;nbsp; A three percent increase every year wold lead to a doubling of the rate every 24 years.&amp;nbsp; After twenty plus years in my current home I pay as much for taxes as I did PIT when I bought the place.&amp;nbsp; The rate has gone up&amp;nbsp; a third and value more than tripled.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Maybe its time we held the line&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cs.newhampshire.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3430" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://cs.newhampshire.com/blogs/pawlz_blog/archive/tags/Dartmouth_2F00_+Lake+Sunapee/default.aspx">Dartmouth/ Lake Sunapee</category><category domain="http://cs.newhampshire.com/blogs/pawlz_blog/archive/tags/claremont/default.aspx">claremont</category><category domain="http://cs.newhampshire.com/blogs/pawlz_blog/archive/tags/Political/default.aspx">Political</category><category domain="http://cs.newhampshire.com/blogs/pawlz_blog/archive/tags/News/default.aspx">News</category></item></channel></rss>
