What happens to the lake if Romney wins?

lawn psycho · 06-28-2011, 08:39 PM

merrymeeting, the biggest factor that determines the impact to you is if you are on the actual route. To Walker's point there are lots of other paths you can choose to get around if you know the area.

In the case of the Lake, if you happen to be driving around the lake on a busy weekend day and a Presidential Motorcade is on the move, you may change your opinion

It's certainly not the end of the world but you can be held up in traffic for a while if you hit the right place at the wrong time.

WE had friends who lived very close to the Bush's house and when they were there and we went to visit, you could only go one direction. The road by their house was closed.

riverat · 06-29-2011, 07:35 AM

How much inconvienence would there be?
Vehicle searches(car and boats) and monitoring cellphone conversations? Checking adult diapers before boarding the mount? I have a feeling we will need to change the state motto.

This woman would be unemployed.

From today's GSN:

Quote:

MITT ROMNEY (shown here in the 2008 parade with wife Ann) was one of the first politicians to sign up for the 2011 July 4th Parade. Also participating will be First District Congressman Frank Guinta and the Wolfeboro Area Democrats.

"I can see Mitt's hair from my house!"

Mitt is going to be in the parade in Wolfeboro Monday. Ron Paul is going to be in Wolfeboro tomorrow, at Evergrain around 2. Lots of politics this Fourth, I would say.

Merrymeeting · 06-30-2011, 10:00 PM

RG, for the clueless amoung us (who may only be me), can you enlighten us on who the woman is in the photo?

Rattlesnake Guy · 06-30-2011, 11:01 PM

Janet Napolitano is the third and current United States Secretary of Homeland Security.

Under her brilliant stewardship we now get photographed naked to get on a plane and our grand mother has her diaper searched. The references to the enhanced security to get on the Mount if Mitt was to become the prez gave me the very pleasant thought that perhaps we might get someone in the position that could stop terror without creating more of it in the process.

winnisummergal · 07-01-2011, 11:52 AM

I live in the state she governed for years and our economy is now one of the worst in the United States and our borders are awful. I'm not necessarily a fan of our current governor but I feel for her and the mess she is trying to clean up. I cannot believe this woman is in charge of Homeland Security when you look at the security of the state she previously governed....

Guys, please limit your comments to the impact this could have on the lake and surrounding communities. There are many other forums where you can express your political opinions.

KBoater · 07-03-2011, 02:58 PM

Mitt will pay Brewster Academy $$$$$$$ to land Marine one on their fields
and no impact to traffic will happen except for the beach goers at Brewster Beach.
However roping off part of Winni will happen.
Just my solution.

Smith Point · 08-21-2011, 12:15 PM

I know there is an Air force 1, and Marine 1, Motorcade 1, (army) but is there a Navy 1? What kind of boat does the president get? If I was president that would be my first question, where is my new boat!

Pineedles · 12-12-2011, 12:09 PM

Romney says he "loves Lake Winnipesaukee."

Rattlesnake Guy · 12-12-2011, 02:08 PM

I know how he feels. Coming back home to New Hampshire can be a great sense of comfort and decompression. I think that if we get Mitt as a president, this kind of tips his hand that New Hampshire might be a likely place to recharge the batteries and get some quality think time.

topwater · 12-12-2011, 02:28 PM

Mitt who? Newt is the next President and he doesn't have a place up here.

LIforrelaxin · 12-12-2011, 04:58 PM

In deed you are correct RGuy..... I while I see it as a great thing for a president of have a place to get away too, I am not sure I want to see it in the lakes region. It might lead to restrictions that none of use are fond of....
It also tends to lead to a real estate boom, which may drive some of us off the lake.....

Not that this would keep me from voting for Romney If I feel he is the right the person for the job.....

Bring on the boom. I am tired of seeing my market value plummet...

I don't think I'd use the term "boom" in any discussion of a Presidential candidate.

These secret service guys a have no sense of humor!

Just Kidding!

barefootbay · 12-12-2011, 09:04 PM

He needs to seriously up his game as he is in danger of losing the nomination once again.

Heaven · 12-12-2011, 09:33 PM

I think he is trying to hard to "play the game" and not keeping it focused on his own message.

That is one of the many Reasons I still believe Romney to be a long shot. He starts his campaign earlier then any one else, because he has the money to do so. And while there is no real opposition, his message is always quite clear. He is a business man, he see the opportunity to take a business approach to government. (no different the Ross Perot, and Donald Trump). However as additional candidates start to come into the light, and the political game starts, Romney losses traction, as he has to take hard fast stances on issues, that in the beginning he skirts around. There is a reason this man seems to only play in politics.

I will consider Romney, but first he has to make it through the primary season.

Merrymeeting · 12-13-2011, 11:18 AM

Just a friendly reminder... these forums are for the lake. While it's appropriate to discuss Romney in light of his residence here, lets be careful this thread doesn't branch into a political/candidate discussion.

I hope all the people up here are thinking this way.Would hate to see someone lose because someone thinks it is going to be a inconvenience to them.

Merrymeeting makes a good point.....so easy to slide into political debate which is not allowed in this forum......thanks to Don
