That's a joke, right? Ha ha. Maybe you should submit that one to the humor threads.
...Sununu will beat Smith...
Yeah right. I was at one event last week...a county wide Republican event...that Sununu couldn't even turn out 10 people for. Smith had a large crowd of supporters present. You're blowing smoke.
Bob Smith is an incumbent. He has a very deep and underrated grassroots support system. He has raised tons of dollars. He is liked and respected by regular folks because he is viewed as one of them...he doesn't put on the airs that most Senators are prone to put on.
...and have a stronger chance of beating Shaheen.
Bullhockey. That's the RINO line, but it's manufactured by RINOs purely for the purposes of misleading the simple-minded. Polls 6 months and 8 months from an election are about as useful as used toilet paper.
Baring a major scandal for Shaheen, she would crush Smith with little effort.
More bull. Shaheen is a joke. Her term as Governor has been a joke. Why would you want to puff her up into some kind of unbeatable enemy? No ulterior motives are there? LOL...
Humphrey would have beat her two years ago, if he hadn't been stupid and listened to the RINOs who convinced him to run to the left.
Your "more conservative" Sununu:
*Killed the Product Liability Limits bill
(a bill applauding by conservatives for capping punitive damages against small businesses for unintentional product defects)
*Was AGAINST the 1998 balenced-budget amendment
*Was FOR the United Nations debt repayment in every circumstance
*Was FOR NEA funding in every circumstance
*Was FOR the amendment to kill defense funding for the B-2 bomber.
*Was the ONLY Republican to vote against a bill penalizing the Palestinian Authority if it declared itself an independent state without Israel's consent.
*Was one of only six Republicans to vote against a measure opposing the unilateral declaration of a Palestinian free state
*Supported confirming ultra-leftist Clinton judges (like Ruth Bader Ginsburg) that Smith tried to stop
*RECENTLY hosted a fundraiser for Ziad Asali, president of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee. (Following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Asali said Osama bin Laden "may be a champion" to some Muslims because he had seized on "legitimate grievances deeply felt in the Arab and Islamic world.")
*Recieved a "minus" rating from Gun Owners of New Hampshire for favoring mandatory FBI checks for private purchasers at gun shows, and requiring gun purchasers to pay a gun tax. (Smith received a perfect "100%" by the same group, was endorsed over your boy)
*Failed to oppose Castro's efforts to force Elian Gonzoles' back to Cuba
Let's see... that's almost a dozen "positions" where Sununu's record is TO THE LEFT of Smith's. Meanwhile, you Sununu-backers scream "Smith supported ANWR!! Smith supported ANWR!!!" incessantly because you are unable to find ANY other issues where Smith did something "liberal". Why can't you just be honest? Smith has an A+ rating (and endorsement) from EVERY major gun organization, he has the 2nd highest rating of any member of congress from the American Taxpayers Association, he was named "Best and Brightest" by the American Conservative Union, and the John Birch Soecity named him the MOST conservative member of the entire U.S. Senate, surpassing their previous choice of Jesse Helms.
Is it really so hard to be HONEST? Try posting this line: "Gee whiz, my guy can't hold a candle to Bob Smith's conservativism, but he still votes the party line most of the time. I'm backing him because I believe whatever polls the media puts up and I support the GOP blue-blooded elite status quo because I think only they can win."
