Neither Mike Bordes nor Travis O’Hara should be allowed to go back to Concord, and while they’d be better than most Democrats, you’d actually have to show up for that to work, which makes this rather amusing. Bordes wrote an Op-Ed for the Laconia Daily Sun, pimping O’Hara as prepared and present for County Delegation ... Read more

Sadly, we have to drive the point home every day that this woman is trying, and perhaps successfully, to fool a nation into thinking that she is anything else than what we know from her time in politics.
