From National Republi-
can Congressional Com- mittee (Code Red Alert):
No Democrat will lose their seat because of the healthcare debate in the fall midterms, the House Democrats’ top cam- paigner said Wednesday. Democratic Congressio- nal Campaign Committee (DCCC) Chairman Chris
Van Hollen (Md.) said
that the overall debate would not hurt his candi- dates, but did not say how the way each individual votes would affect their
chances. ‘I don’t think there are any districts in the country where this great debate on health- care reform is going to cost some of their seats,’
he said on ABC’s ‘Topline’
webcast. (Jordan Fabian,

ity of voters will “un-elect” Democrats who voted yes for socialism on national health care. First one to go should be Carol Shea- Porter CD1 here in NH. And of course Paul Hodes of CD2 should not be rewarded with the gift of Judd Gregg’s seat in the U.S. Senate. They must go! The economic times demand we change the direction of the train to socialism driven by
Barack Obama and the
Democrats.
********** If we are to believe a
recent CBS News Poll, ObamaCare has plum- meted from 41% to 34% in popularity. We are told by CBS the legislation was at 49% in July and has now dropped to 34%. “The latest (4/10) Ras-

incumbent earning 47% of the vote, while former state Health and Human Services Commissioner
John Stephen picks up
37% support.” This is music to my ears. Not so much of who - but that the voters are taking a close look at all Demo- crats - especially the “Tef- lon Governor” who has avoided a true reading of his efforts and accom- plishments for the past SIX YEARS. We have wit- nessed lack of leadership on budget preparation, his lack of vision (if you don’t count his lifting of $110 MILLION from the JUA fund that belongs to the doctors of NH and not John Lynch), and the so-
cial issues (gay marriage)
that he was against before he was for, and among his greatest accomplishments would be signing legisla- tion to name the Chinook as the state dog - the pumpkin the state fruit - and now a tough deci- sion: will the state drink be milk or cider - but he didn’t consider NH micro-
brews and Budweiser and wines made here in NH by NH residents (employees). Oh yes, Lynch was for the LLC tax and signed the legislation, applying the rooms and meals tax to sleeping on the ground at one of the many camp- sites available in NH. That tax is being repealed but why did the Democrats (including the governor who signs the legislation) let this tax become the law without an in-depth study by Ways and Means - and yes, The Teflon governor? So, how will the governor and his merry band of Democrats plan to make up that revenue lost as a result of their misguided actions?
*********** There is a term that I
have used man times over the years in my writings as well as while host- ing my radio program - and that is “political prostitutes” - that is my definition for one who at- taches himself to a cause or candidate simply for monetary gain while giv-
ing little consideration to the cause or candidate. Of course I am not well- received by those Repub- licans who might fit that description - and others who wish I would keep my mouth shut. NO CAN DO! That is one of the many reasons Tea Party folks are popping up all across the land; they are sick of politics as usual. Be not afraid to challenge the candidates from both par- ties while evaluating their answers to YOUR ques- tions before you offer your help and your vote. When you learn of a
“political operative” who is receiving a pay check for services rendered to a Liberal or “moderate” Re- publican candidate after having done the same for a principled Republican in a prior campaign does that prompt the question: how could this person have supported a con- servative and then take a pay check from a liberal/ moderate? Thus, the term “political prostitute.”
