New Hampshire’s state logo is “Live Free or Die”, which of course implies that the Granite State citizens will go to the mat to protect their liberty.
(CNN) – A New Hampshire House committee voted unanimously, 18-0, on Wednesday to recommend killing an amendment that would require presidential candidates to present birth certificates when filing their candidacy for the first-in-the-nation primary. The bill is expected to go to a full House floor vote next week.
Why? It appears the elected geniuses can’t find their stones.
The chairman of the state’s House Election Law Committee told the New Hampshire Union Leader that if passed, the law would not take effect until January 2013, after the Granite State primary and the presidential general election. The bill, which will be considered in committee Wednesday, was originally scheduled to take effect 60 days after passage.
God forbid these spineless amoebalike, faint-hearted, fearful, feeble, forceless, frightened, gutless, impotent, inadequate, ineffective, ineffectual, invertebrate, irresolute, lily-livered, nerveless, pithless, spiritless, squeamish, submissive, timid, vacillating, weak-kneed, weak-willed, yellow-bellied, afraid, anxious, apprehensive, backward, base, chicken, cowering, craven, fainthearted, frightened, gutless, jittery, lily-livered, nervous, gutless paper tigers should take a stand to do what’s right.
“We recognize the potential problems,” Republican state Rep. David Bates told the Leader Tuesday. “It created the appearance that it was all centered on a putting barriers in the way of President Obama.”
Pathetic. Just plain pitiful.
Bates said the date change “is to diffuse any perception that this was directed at President Obama and is purely a policy decision designed to ensure that candidates for president are qualified according to the requirements of the Constitution.”
New Hampshire, you should be ashamed of these sorry excuses you’ve elected. They certainly don’t deserve the appellation “Granite Staters”.

Nothing like a thesaurus.
What’s wrong with it being directed at Obama?
