Eagle Tribune endorses Guinta for Congress

“New Hampshire voters had two terms of Shea-Porter before they retired her in 2010. That was sufficient. We encourage voters to re-elect Frank Guinta.”

(Manchester – October 29, 2012) The Eagle Tribune endorsed Frank Guinta for Congress in NH-01 this morning. The Eagle Tribune is an important newspaper that covers the southern half of the district in towns such as Chester, Danville, Derry, Hampstead, Kingston, Londonderry, Newton, Plaistow, and Sandown. You can read the full endorsement here.

Editorial: Guinta, Bass are best for New Hampshire

Voters in New Hampshire face a replay of the 2010 races for Congress. There is no reason for voters to choose differently this time around.

In the 1st Congressional District, Frank Guinta, R-Manchester, faces Democratic challenger Carol Shea-Porter of Rochester. This time, Guinta is the incumbent and is facing heavy criticism from the Shea-Porter campaign on his voting record, which it describes as “tea party Republican.”

But when the alternative is Shea-Porter’s track record of far-left liberalism, New Hampshire voters are clearly better off sticking with Guinta.

Guinta has the right ideas on taxes and the economy. He understands that government boondoggles such as President Obama’s “stimulus” plan never create any real, permanent jobs. Government best supports job growth when it simply gets out of the way.

Guinta supports Republican efforts to roll back red tape and reform the tax code into a simpler, more understandable system, one with lower rates for both individual and corporate taxpayers. Guinta supports controlling federal spending and reducing our national debt, now at $16 trillion and growing.

Guinta supports repealing the Affordable Care Act and reforming Medicare along the lines suggested by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan.

Shea-Porter, by contrast, calls on Republicans to leave Medicare alone. She doesn’t seem to understand that “Medicare as we know it” is on life-support. If nothing is done to reform the program, all who rely on it for their health care needs will suffer.

New Hampshire voters had two terms of Shea-Porter before they retired her in 2010. That was sufficient. We encourage voters to re-elect Frank Guinta.

Shea-Porter For Congress - Guinta: Look Here, Not There

New Hampshire- Naomi Andrews, Campaign Manager for Carol Shea-Porter, released the following statement in reply to Congressman Frank Guinta's absurd and malicious false charges about signs.

"The Shea-Porter team has been advising supporters who have signs stolen to notify the police if they wish, but our team has not reported sign thefts to the press because we want to keep the focus on the real issue, which is that Tea Party Congressman Frank Guinta is under federal investigation, named one of the most corrupt members in what is called the worst Congress ever, and has used contributions from unknowing donors to pay more than $62,000 in mysterious legal fees to a K Street law firm. Carol Shea-Porter is running to restore New Hampshire integrity and the New Hampshire work ethic to the NH-01 seat.  Team Guinta is trying desperately to make it look like there is no difference between the candidates in terms of ethics, competence, or effectiveness, but voters can see right through Congressman Guinta's trickery.”

Guinta For Congress - ICYMI: Union Leader - Clueless Carol: Shea-Porter on the economy

Clueless Carol: Shea-Porter on the economy
http://www.unionleader.com/article/20121026/OPINION01/710269909

Carol Shea-Porter, proud puppet of Nancy Pelosi, tried desperately to work her mouth all by herself during an interview this week with New Hampshire Public Radio. It proved two crucial facts: 1) Without her puppeteer, Shea-Porter cannot articulate a vision for the future, and 2) she remains clueless about the economy.

NHPR host Brady Carlson began the interview by asking the former 1st District representative in Congress what would be the “essential elements” in the “comprehensive jobs plan” she advocates on the campaign trail.

“Number one, I think that we have to address our problem with infrastructure,” she said. According to Carol Shea-Porter, the biggest factor depressing job growth in America is that we have “dangerous bridges... our roads are in rough shape, our trains are in rough shape....”

Also at the top of her to-do list: raise taxes. She went on and on and on about the government’s lack of “revenue.” She said “there needs to be revenue coming into this country” and “You won’t have the growth that this country needs if this country doesn’t have enough revenue” and “We’ve got to get more revenue here because revenue will provide that growth we’re talking about.” According to Shea-Porter, higher taxes are a necessary precondition to economic growth.

As in the past, Shea-Porter has no ideas of her own. Whatever the party leadership tells her to say, she says. This year’s talking points are focused on “fairness,” “infrastructure” and “revenue,” and those are the words Shea-Porter loyally repeats. The NHPR interview (which you can listen to at http://www.nhpr.org/post/jobs-and-economy-carol-shea-porter) was so great because Shea-Porter had to ad-lib for more than 18 minutes. Given that much time and no script, she awkwardly spouted talking points that she clearly did not even fully understand.

There are many actions that would help the U.S. economy far more than raising taxes and buying trains. One would be to make sure Carol Shea-Poter does not get elected to Congress ever again.

A FLAILING CAMPAIGN: SHEA-PORTER'S TEAM CAUGHT STEALING GUINTA SIGNS

“We hope yesterday’s desperate tactics aren’t a sign of what we can expect from Shea-Porter in the final 11 days of her floundering campaign.”

(Manchester – October 26, 2012) Yesterday afternoon, a supporter of former Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter was caught stealing Guinta for Congress yard signs in Seabrook. After stealing them, he was photographed replacing them with yard signs for Carol Shea-Porter and other Democrat candidates. By looking at the pictures, you will notice that the individual is an involved supporter with Democrat campaigns as he had large 4/8 signs for Democrat candidates in the back of his vehicle and bumper stickers for Shea-Porter for Congress, Bill Duncan for Executive Council, and Maggie Hassan for Governor on the side of his vehicle.

Photos of the individual stealing the signs and replacing them can be viewed here on our Facebook page. If you are unable to view them there, I can provide them to you via email if you email me back.

Mark Laliberte, a Republican consultant caught the man and took the photos. He also confronted the individual and reported it to the Seabrook police who have contacted the man.

Derek Dufresne, Spokesman for Guinta for Congress released the following statement:

“It’s a shame that when flailing campaigns get desperate, they resort to unnecessary tactics such as stealing signs in the final days before an election.

“Considering the type of campaign Carol Shea-Porter has run with countless lies and distortions, dirty politics such as stealing campaign signs isn’t much of a stretch for the former Congresswoman’s team. We hope yesterday’s desperate tactics aren’t a sign of what we can expect from Shea-Porter in the final 11 days of her floundering campaign.”
