I don't think Jeb Bush has a grasp on electioneering..he spent $36+ Million campaigning.in New Hampshire...over $1,200 per vote he got.

---
After winning New Hampshire's popular vote by a landslide.. Bernie finally learned about inside politics and Socialism.. he got 15 delegates, and Hillary got 9...but... BUT Hillary got 6 appointed "super delegates" that could just vote for their own personal choice of candidates.  How do you like "equalization now", Bernie, Hillary has as many New Hampshire delegates as you do!

---
Good grief...Hillary feels that her devastating humiliation in New Hampshire was because of her ties to NERO-bamageddon....Huh? Guess now she'll claim New Hampshire voters are racist for supporting Bernie..the old white guy..

---
After the analization of the Democratic vote in New Hampshire, Bernie got 55% of the women's vote. Maybe most of the women had a hard time associating with Hillary as a woman..

----
Bernie arranged a meeting with Al Sharlatan before going to South Carolina.. what a meeting that must have been a tax grabber and a tax cheat.. I can only imagine the deal Bernie offered Sharlatan for the black vote.. or vice versa..

---
On the other hand, Hillary met with black groups immediately... rumor has it that she's starting up a new foundation.. "#BlackVotersMatter... until November".

Online story: "A disturbingly large portion of the United States’ extensive commuter and freight rail system lacks crucial Positive Train Control technology designed to avert deadly high-speed accidents. Even with the recent extension of Congress’ implementation deadline from Dec. 31, 2015 to the end of 2018, the U.S. rail industry is scrambling to develop and install the safety systems before another crash occurs." -- "lack crucial...technology....to avert high-speed accidents"? and are already three year behind...and Mayor TomLYINGson wants to raise the speed limits..

The New Hampshire Primary stats wee quite revealing . I'm not just talking about who won individually.. I've been looking at the voter numbers for the past 3 primaries.. In 2008, almost 290,000 NH voters cast their ballots in the Democrat primary with Hillary getting 112K to Obama's 104K (others got the rest).. On the other hand. about 240,000 cast ballots for Republicans, with McCain getting about 89K and Romney got about 76K )others got the rest). Then in 2012, with Obama being the incumbent, only 60,000 or so Dems even voted at all. The Republicans got about 248,000 to their primary.. Romney got 97K, and the reat split among a host of also-rans. Now.. in this weeks NH primaries. the Democrats got about 245,000 to their primary.. Bernie got about 151K and Hillary pulled in 95K. On the Republican side, over 284,000 went to the ballot box.. and Trump garnered over 100K, and a RINO won 2nd spot.. The interesting aspect of this primary is that more than 40,000 more voters went to the Republican side than did so in 2012.. and Trump got  more voters to the get off their butts than Romney did.. This is important.. conservatives WANT this in 2016..

2016 Presidential Primaries, Caucuses, and Conventions Major Events Chronologically

Online headline: "Sirhan Sirhan, assassin of Robert Kennedy, denied parole for 15th time" -- Good grief.. he should have been "denied" LIFE , and saved taxpayers nearly 50 years of "maintenance"..

---
Online story: "At least a dozen email accounts handled the “top secret” intelligence that was found on Hillary Clinton’s server and recently deemed too damaging for national security to release, a U.S. government official close to the review told Fox News." -- No Hock, Sherlock!  Hillary's no more efficient in use of technology than she was with the dials on her stove in the kitchen. Heck, we don't even know whether she can even drive a car.

L-E headline: "BALLOT CHANGES REMOVE HOMESTEAD INCREASE * “We need the citizens of Columbus to be able to decide on their tax system,” Tomlinson said. “Not just a small group of people who happen to be in positions of authority.” -- "not just a small group of people who happen to be in positions of authority"? Good grief.. the taxpayers have overwhelmingly (4-to-1) rejected removing the tax freeze in the past.. It's Mayor TomLYINGson who is the "small group of people who happen to be in positions of authority"!

L-E headlie.story: " The family of the man who was fatally wounded last month during a brawl outside Outlaws Saloon has hired an attorney, and she said Wednesday an independent autopsy that provided “a more thorough analysis” revealed findings different from those the police presented  * Authorities said they were called to the scene around 3 a.m. and found Brown unresponsive and at least 40 potential witnesses." --  You know.. this was happening at 3:00 AM on a Sunday morning. Our parents and grandparents were right.. "nothing good happens after midnight".. Hey Mayor TomLYINGson, if you want something removed, how about "freezing" bars from staying open after midnight.. it will save taxpayers a lot of money and help you balance a budget for a change. And... two little girls might still have their daddy alive.

Incredibly stupid racist LIV's L-E "soundiff": " Thank you, Mr. President, for doing all that you have done in the face of opposition. If you were white you would have a holiday." -- If Elizabeth Barrett Browning were alive today and writing poems, she say, "Stupidity, let me count the ways". Too bad this LIV wouldn't be able to have read it..

New roundabout comment of the day: Have you looked closely at what vehicle and pedestrian traffic will face trying  to get onto or across River Road from Bradley Park? By not centering the "roundabout ON River Road.. northbound vehicles pretty much have a straight shot heading through it, and westbound Bradley Park traffic, whether a vehicle or pedestrian will be playing "Frogger" to go in any direction.

L-E headline/story: "MAYOR, HARP DEBATE ‘THAW THE FREEZE’" *  Harp was asked what effect the freeze has had on growth in Columbus. *  “It’s been good for growth,” Harp said. “People who move here stay here because they like the tax structure that exists in Columbus, Georgia.” * Tomlinson countered that the freeze not only restricts growth, but it also prevents the city from reaping the benefits from what growth the city does see  *  “When we have someone new move to the city, almost the very next day, they begin to pay us less in taxes than the value of the services we’re providing." -- There isn't an ounce of truth in Mayor TomLYINGson's words! Notice she doesn't want to adjust the mill;age rates so that people who have bought when prices were highest would get a break.. I moved back to Columbus in 2003 .. In Harris County, my taxes were 60% less (for the same value home) and I got the same services, less crime and better schools. 12 years later, my former home in Harris County pays a little less that 50% of what I still pay, and Harris County still has the same services, lower crime rates and better school results. Now, Mayor TomLYINGson, I pay better that $5,000.00 annually.. sure it's twice what Harris County asks but I can live with knowing that as long as I stay here, mine will stay the same. I do feel the pain some families.. even supporters of hers, who pay $30,000.00 .. even $76,000.00 in local property taxes.. how are y0u Mayor TomLYINGson going to give better services by unfreezing THEIR taxes? Yep. the "roundabout" at River Road is not the onlt "roundabout" we get from Mayor TomLYINGson,  she intentionally  goes "roundabout" the truth!

Speaking of L-E commentary on the "roundabout", some commentator, a Scott Batson (who will not identify his connection wiothnthe GA DOT or whether he's a contractor ( Batson -Cook?), says on the L-E site that "The Federal portion comes from the Highway Trust Fund, not state funds. The trust fund is funded by federal gas taxes and general fund transfers." -- Well, I say, then why is TSPLOST mentioned? On the other hand, if it's federal money, not only has that been rifled from our pockets, we are getting less of our money back than the TSPLOST.. Government programs take an excess of 20% (versus the 15% loss on TSPLOST), so that $1.5 MILLION costs us $1,875,000. instead of $1, 725,000. In addition, there is no going back "for seconds" of fed money so all the overruns, and there will be, will be on the backs of Columbus Citizens.
