Newly elected Nashua representative
Laughton a convicted felon

The Telegraph (NH), by DANIELLE CURTIS

Original Article

Posted By:Screwgun, 11/25/2012 1:09:29 PM

NASHUA – Newly elected state representative Stacie Laughton, a Gate City Democrat, has been getting national attention since her win earlier this month, which made her the first openly transgender elected official in the state. But this weekend, that attention turned negative after a story in the Laconia Daily Sun revealed that Laughton served four months in jail in 2008 on felony charges of conspiracy to commit credit card fraud.

Comments:
It´s official. New Hampshire is now indistinguishable from Massachusetts.

Democrats and felons are birds of a feather! Sickening what passes for leadership in this country!

People like this have to end up in politics, unions, education, or non-profits to get a job as they can´t get one in the real world.

Funny how it comes out after the election for a Dem.

Congratulations to the voters of NH.
I suspect that you have chosen your representative in gov´t to reflect your values.

Except..."she" is a "he."

Democrats not only lie about everything, they will insist the sky is green and then pass laws making it a criminal offense when anyone speaks the truth about it being blue.

Two thoughts. Democrats are always asking the voters to ignore their past and vote for them because of what they can do, but spend a lot of time, money and effort digging into the past of their opponents. What is it Dems? Second, this is a glaring example of what happens when you vote for someone because of their membership in some perceived minority rather than on their character. Hence Obama´s success.

They always blather on about "everyone makes mistakes", etc., etc., etc. But like this?

According to information from the Laconia Daily Sun, Laughton was no stranger to Laconia police.

In addition to the conspiracy to commit fraud charges, Laughton was charged with slashing the tires of a neighbor’s car in 2006. The same year, Laughton reportedly admitted that she faked illness to gain an ambulance ride for herself and her now ex-wife, Lisa Laughton, also a Gate City selectman, from Weirs Beach back toward their home.

Laughton moved to Laconia from Nashua, where she was raised, in 2003. She ran for public office, under the name Barry Charles Jr., multiple times while living in the city, including runs for the City Council, School Board and a state representative seat.

Laughton’s felony conviction stems from a 2007 incident, the Laconia Daily Sun reported Saturday, when Laughton and her ex-wife reportedly opened a credit card in a former neighbor’s name, using it to purchase electronics and pay bills.


I´d almost sooner see a reformed axe murderer in office than a "white collar criminal" who dealt in fraud. And then conveniently changed his gender and name, hoping to leave his criminal past behind.

Felonies don´t count if you are a Democrat. Don´t you understand the double-standard in this country?

Why send a decent person? Chances are they will end up corrupted.

Sending someone who is already a convicted felon is much more efficient.

she was born male but identifies as a female. From the picture, I´d say ´´she´´ is having an identity crisis.

I can ´´identify´´ as a yellow lab, but that doesn´t change the fact that I don´t have 4 legs and allover blonde body hair.

And I can´t lick ----- nevermind...

For all you NH haters. NH is nothing like Massachusetts. We don´t have a state income tax we don´t have a state sales tax. It is the state where the "Freestaters" went. Because we are surrounded by 3 very liberal states we took it on the chin this election.

On election day there was a lot of fishy things going on. Same day registration in my town logged on a 10% increase in voter registration. This was common across the state. Yes we are looking into who registered and where they live to see if there are any irregularities. Needless to say our checklist people were overwhelmed all day.

To which I might add, #16, that Republicans haven´t always treated New Hampshire well, or tried to take its uniqueness into account.

Better to not be taken for granted.

Stacie is following in Hillary´s footsteps:from the greasy hair to the dowdy attire. In other words, Stacie is now a typical democrat woman. Are they all transgendered?

So, a convicted felon is elected, which raises the question, did this person vote in the election?

I´m guessing the media was too busy looking for Mitt´s tax returns to worry about background checks on Dems.

Anyone really shocked by this nugget?

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

Sen. John McCain says he doesn´t understand the threats from some of his Republican colleagues to filibuster a bill on background checks to buy guns. "I don´t understand it," the Arizona Republican said on Sunday of the threat coming from Sen. Rand Paul,Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Mike Lee and nine other Republicans. "The purpose of the United States Senate is to debate and to vote and to let the people know where we stand.” "What are we afraid of? ...

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

Is going gluten-free
healthier for everybody?

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

Newtown killer Adam Lanza may have launched his murder spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School as an “act of revenge,” the Daily News has learned. A close friend of Lanza’s mother told The News that the troubled boy was a target of relentless bullying when he attended the Connecticut school years ago. “I think Adam felt betrayed by the school and this was his act of revenge,” said Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Nancy Lanza’s. “Nancy told me he was being picked on at school. That they were just torturing him.”

ATTLEBORO, Mass. — As many as 25 students at a Massachusetts school were denied lunch this week — with at least some forced to dump their food in the garbage — because they couldn´t pay, school officials and parents said. Outraged parents said some students at Coelho Middle School in Attleboro cried when they were told by a worker for the district´s food service provider they could not eat on Tuesday because they couldn´t pay or their pre-paid accounts were short on funds. The on-site director for the company, Whitsons Culinary Group of Islandia, N.Y., was placed on administrative leave by
