Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-NH) is already vulnerable going into next year’s election. Her race is consistently listed as “toss-up” and she represents a state that typically has an independent-libertarian streak. So her vote in favor of socialized health care recently didn’t exactly help her cause. If the editorials from newspapers in New Hampshire are any indication [...]

The Nation. Blackwater's Secret War in Pakistan By Jeremy Scahill November 23, 2009 At a covert forward operating base run by the US Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) in the Pakistani port city of Karachi, members of an elite division of Blackwater are at the center of a secret program in which they plan targeted assassinations of suspected Taliban and Al Qaeda operatives, "snatch and grabs"...

Pharmaceutical industry spokesmen must use Botox. How else could they keep a straight face while explaining that their employers raised prices by an average of 9 percent this year, the biggest single increase in nearly two decades, because they need to invest in the research and development of new drugs? Earlier this year, credit card holders started receiving letters announcing huge increases in...

Around these parts on Blue Hampshire we have been blessed with the participation of many national level Democrats. Wether it was through the survey questions during the primary, General Clark's own BH Acct. on our user roles, or Paul Hodes and Carol Shea-Porter making it as guest to every Blue Hampshire Bash we've held. What I am curious about is... Where are the locals? Why do we not see our Executive...

From Doctor Zero at HotAir: Ed Morrissey relayed an interesting quote from Democrat representative Carol Shea-Porter of New Hampshire earlier today: “I think when you can pay for insurance, you must,” said Shea-Porter. “For those who are blessed to have insurance through their companies, they should keep it.” Those who are blessed to have insurance through their companies? You...

Say Anything: I Really Need To Stop Watching The Main Stream Media Because My Face Will Freeze Like This This is a good way to start this post because ALL of the Obamedia has already been frozen... [...] Somehow, somewhere along the way we must have fallen through some trap door into an alternate Evil-Spock-With-A-Beard universe because there is no way that any rational human being can possibly, really...

The common joke about statism is that it makes all allowable behavior mandatory -- and bans everything else. Democrats certainly have adopted that approach when it comes to the overhaul of the American health-care system. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter told local constituents that the federal government should absolutely dictate ...

Adam Krauss' new blog is already proving to be most useful. In this episode , he smacks down an attempt by Pat Hynes to smear Carol Shea-Porter via dishonest guilt by association. I've long maintained that the more voices that join in on the internet, the more credibility it gains. Why, to use one prominent example, Wikipedia is, in the long run, going to be more authoritative than gatekeeper-authored...

Just as a reminder: both Carol Shea-Porter and Paul Hodes have challenging races on their hands, and both of them had the courage not only to vote for health care reform, but also against C-Street Stupak's vile pro-sepsis* amendment. This is about as perfect a moment as any, I think, to reward good behavior . And the part that most makes me want to give? I didn't really expect them to vote otherwise...

Frank Guinta on Shea-Porter's "yes" vote on Pelosicare: Manchester, NH – “The voters of New Hampshire yelled “stop" at the top of their lungs; but Carol Shea Porter didn't listen. Instead, Carol-Shea Porter has once again proven that she is more concerned...

Let me state this as plainly as I can. If you've read this site during the many months that health care reform has been tossed around in Congress, you know I have not exactly been kind to our Congresscritters, particularly the Democratic ones, whom I feared were going to balk at the clear message the voters were sending in 2008. All that changed for me last night. This is the single most important...

DownWithTyranny!: Senate Prepares To Back Another Obama War Supplemental For Afghanistan Escalation The context is that the Senate is about to sink another few BILLION dollars and thousands of American troops into the "graveyard of empires." A lot of experts think that Afghanistan is ungovernable and unwinnable. We need an exit plan to avoid being stuck there until we can no longer afford...
