Yes, she IS that stupid...

[NHSparky]

Sadly, this brain-dead is my Congresscritter.  Needless to say, she'll be getting an earful from me and many others if/when she has the 'nads to show her face in public amongst the "little people"...

Couple of problems with her statement.  She's a former social worker from Rochester.  Yes, Rochester (aka, "Rottenchester" to those outside it) is more working-class than other places.  It's not as "elite" (read: snobbish) as Portsmouth or Dover.  It's more working-class. 

Despite all this, NH household income is among the highest in the US.  We have the lowest poverty rate in the US.  Our unemployment rate, although rising like everyone else's lately, is still 3 points below the national average.  Can we do better?  Sure.  But lack of health care?  Try again, Carol.  It's lack of health INSURANCE.  Some people don't get it for a myriad of reasons, Carol.  But to say you'll be "pulled out of line"?  Not here--maybe in Canada or Great Britian, but not here.

She's as good as gone in 2010.

You've a transcript of what your Congress Critter said?

[NHSparky]

"Many of my constituents would love to wait in line for medical care," Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-NH1) said. "They're yanked out of line because they don't have coverage."

Sounds like a perfect opportunity to picket her local office with signs that say "I'd love to wait in line to vote out my rep, but not to see my doctor"

Oh, if your lips aren't permanently tattooed to her ass, she doesn't want to hear from you.  Say what you want about Jeb Bradley, but at least he faced his detractors.  I've written her several times and gotten form letters written by her 19-year old dipshit interns.  The one time I saw her in person, you could have asked her what color the sky was and the only answer you would get was, "Let me check with my staff on that..."

My rep is a blue dog Dem and getting a lot of pressure from the local Dem party to "support Obama or else we won't support you in 2010".  Fortunately, he does represent his constituents' wishes, not the kool aid party's.  I sent him a letter of thanks and a small donation for his war chest.  It's important we encourage our reps when they do good too! Country before Party !   

[TheSarge]

If Congress manages to get home without a vote before the recess...by the time they come back...IMHO we'll be hearing about even more Dems who will vote no...because they've heard an earful from the folks back home.

Which is why the White House is pushing for them to stay and vote before they go home.

Even though Rahm Emanuel is trying to get a vote this week, I tend to think that they're going to get more and more complaints from their constituents.  Some of the Blue Dogs have been saying, "We're trying to save the party."  Even if they do succeed in getting the vote put off, they may yet fail in saving the party, as the Obamination may think they've got this mandate for "hope and change."  Which the voters will make them pay for, come November 6th, 2010.

CHE-Porter will have some 'splainin to do when an if she shows her face again.  The PorchMouth Herald is all over her getting veteran's care established in Concord but seems to ignore the larger issue of health care. 

Recently on another thread I linked to a section of the current bill which is going to cause Carol the compassionate some real grief among her more loyal constituents.  Sadly this issue is not getting more visibility on the local scene.  Think  of 'group homes', like
Betty's Dream in Portsmouth,  which may find themselves shut off from funding they once received.  Then there are also many who foster severely disabled persons ( who are listed in the latest bill as retarded) as a means of making a few extra bucks.  (Sort of a work from home job.)

Othena was just one {of many} whom I always assumed had a life membership with Magaret Sanger Briggade, NH Democrat Party.  It is inner conflict which turns those type people into loons. 

We now have Rahm's brother advising on health care, he, another "We have to kill the patient to save the system" type from what I am reading.

Sorry Sparky, I was called for dinner, post-us-interrupt-us if you will. 


My thought was headed along the line that these people of compassion are now being forced into untenable position by their heroes.  Carol-Che Porter will bend to the will of Nasty Nancy marching headlong into the sea (or off the cliff if you like that analogy better); but, the folks back home will find out that granny and grandpaw along with Special Ed and Edwina are being kicked to the curb in favor of younger, healthier cubs.

Even the dullest of the dolts will figure things out but in many cases it will be too late.   

Then of course there is this scary guy:
 

"To provide a high quality of life for all, there must be fewer people."

Teh Wun sure has surrounded himself with quite a group.

[NHSparky]

zeit--damn, and I apparently missed my chance to give her my mind yesterday.  Seems she was in town this weekend.  If you know Rochester, then you know Fat Tony's downtown and the Draught Pick Pub behind it.  Seems while I was enjoying my frosty beverage of choice in my "Mug Club" glass, the bartender made mention of the fact Che had dined there that very afternoon for lunch.

Damn, just damn, thinks I.  Never get to have any fun.  Then again, ask her a question more difficult than the color of the sky and you'll get a, "Let me check with my staff on that," reply.

Here's hoping we see a LOT more of her back here in January 2011.

My favorite spot in Rochester is the bar/restraunt right there by the falls that gives you a great view of the Genessee Brewing plant and the fireworks/lightshow they do every friday and saturday.

My Congress jerk, Tim Bishop has cancelled all his "town meetings" ! At rthe last one, the folk demanded stright talk imrdiately and shut him up as he started his lying blather. So , as we are asking that he cut the crap. listen and be truthful, he won't see us anymore! What a jerk!

[zeitgeist]

Right town.  Wrong state.

Speaking of confusion of state or perhaps more correctly put, state of confusion, I was actually an invited participant in Mean Jeanne Shaheen's Town Hall Phone Booth Meeting. Sat on the patio with a conference phone and a glass of Merlot which made the whole thing more palatable.  Jeanne kept sloughing off to teh Wun's hack for answers as she 'dashed out to vote' (She was in DC).  Ironic that I use to tell people the entire Republican party of P_town (north) could meet in the phone booth by the old library.

[NHSparky]

Actually, now you can close the door to the phone booth.

First Carol Che-Porter turned her back on Bush, then it was the NH voter!

The original Milk Carton pol decides to show

posted at 11:00 am on August 22, 2009 by Ed Morrissey

Not the first to go on the milk carton but the first to bail on her constituents — and it looks like she’ll have company.  Rep. Carol Shea-Porter, whose decision to duck town-hall forums surprised New Hampshire constituents who remember her pre-election town-hall antics, has decided to grace voters with her presence after all.  However, she’s managed to schedule it at a time next Saturday when activists had planned to be elsewhere:

Multiple sources, including James Pindell at NHPoliticalReport.com, are telling GraniteGrok that our Congresswoman Carol Shea Porter has finally set up some town hall meetings where she will actually meet with real live constituents face to face.

And wouldn’t you know it– RIGHT AT THE SAME TIME THE GRASS ROOTS COMMUNITY OF NH IS SCHEDULED TO GATHER AT A FUNDRAISER/PICNIC FOR THE NEW HAMPSHIRE ADVANTAGE COALITION!

Oh, it gets better:

The event is scheduled to run from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. with the doors opening at 1 p.m. for security checks. An estimated 100 people will be able to fit into the room at the Thomas J. McIntyre Federal Building where the meeting will be held. An aide said that attendence will be on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Any bets as to whether or not she gives "first come" preferences to her supporters?

“Some people talk as though I've never faced a tough crowd before,” Shea-Porter said Monday.

No Carol, you haven't.  You can dish it out, but you can't take it.  You're showing it now.
