The Dems are out in force in NH. Yesterday on the radio the talking point were on full display.

Basically what they are doing is cherry-picking parts of the Bill and saying "Are you against that?" It's really lame since they clearly are unable to articulate a defense on their own - and it's easy to refute.

We need LOTS of people to show up armed with facts. Even if you aren't allowed in, a large crowd outside is important as well. I expect union thugs in matching t-shirts.

Shea-Porter is in deep trouble this Fall and we need to make sure she is defeated.

We need to call this the "What Part of 'No' Don't You Understand?" rally!

This is the same ploy used by various multi-level marketing schemes.

Carol Shea-Pelosi will never get my support, and I look forward to voting her and her ambulance-chasing sidekick out of office.

Unfortunately I can’t make it, but I’d love to, even though I live in the 2nd district.

She is nothing more than big load of Bovine Dung

[BitWielder1]

We got one too, Thursday April 1 at 5:30, 1 Monument Square Alton NH (aka Town Hall).
I'll be there, even though I know she will not listen no matter what.

[woodbutcher1963]

I live in the 2nd district also. We can do our part and make sure Hodes does not become our next Senator.
We also need to rally around an electable conservative canidate for our congressman/woman.
We do not need Bass again.

I just caught the tail end of Washington Journal who had a Dr. Fedder, fellow from Center for American Progress celebrating and spinning and selling the health care bill. Who pays her salary? What does she make? This inquiring mind wants to know.

Their talking points remind me of my ex wife when she pulled in the driveway with a $70,000 Range Rover (bankrupting us).

"This is one of the safest vehicles...Are you against protecting the safety of your own children?"

Shea-Porter has her hands full in this swing district. She must have made a lot of people mad, because there are multiple (R) candidates running in the primary. If anyone has input on who the best of this crop is, please pipe up.

I’m behind Guinta - the former Manchester mayor.

Fergus Cullen destroyed the Republican Party in NH as Party Chair. The ultimate RINO boob.

[who knows what evil?]

Cullen is an idiot...he had a lot to do with breathing life back into McCain’s campaign.

[who knows what evil?]

Che-Porter is as vile as Pelosi...

[davidlachnicht]

... ... full-sized posters and more in my profile

[Recovering_Democrat]

Oh yes, and bring the legislation...quote from it.

Bring video if possible, of OBAMA promising $2,500 reductions in premiums.

Then bring the news releases by Caterpillar, AT&T, John Deer, 3M, Verizon, etc. showing how this is going to COST THEM A LOT MORE.

Jennifer Horn for the 2nd

[Timeout]

I live in a safe GOP district. But if I could go to this town hall, here is what I would ask:

"We've heard these horror stories about Caterpillar, AT&T and other companies who got hit with a big tax on their retiree prescription drug plans. Congress defends the tax, saying it was a "loophole" and taxpayers shouldn't be footing the cost for the companies' retirees.

But Section 1102 of the bill contradicts that. ItSection provides $10 BILLION to UNION health plans for their early retirees [to audience: "retirees as young as 55 yrs old]. Congress recognized that those are "Cadillac" plans. And this subsidy is FAR more generous than what the companies were getting.

Why do you think unions deserve a $10 BILLION taxpayer bailout for 55 year olds getting excessively generous benefits?

I don't believe they can answer that question. If anyone wants more information on the union provision...well, I've been researching it for months and can give you a bucketful. I would even take a bullet-item handout in case the media asks more about it.

[woodbutcher1963]

I really like Jennifer Horn. She comes across as a level headed conservative and very likeable in person.

[BitWielder1]

I was there at the Alton NH town hall on Apr 1.
The conference hall was already filled to capacity when I got there so I couldn't get in.
People who made it in there told me afterward she was going straight down the party line.
There were demonstrators outside, fairly decent number for a small town on a weekday, so I joined them instead.
She arrived late. She entered and left through a back door, bypassing most of the demonstrators.

Prospective US Congress challengers Peter Bearse, Bob Bestani and independent write-in candidate Mark Whitman Jr. were there outside, as was NH State Senate candidate Jim Forsythe.
