NH INSIDER

I try not to make fun of people who write in to the paper but sometimes I can’t help myself.  Gary Patton from Hampton writes, in a letter to the editor in today’s UL, that accusations of rubber-stamping by Rep Shea-Porter are unfounded.  He points to her objection to TARP and the Afghan surge.  He then posits the notion that a Republican would be a rubber stamp for the right, as all of the Republicans in the House voted against the estate tax, the stimulus, Obama’s trillion dollar budget, and health care.

This is all the more remarkable because in closing he questions whether objecting to those four bills (in particular) represents the “libertarian ideal for which New Hampshire is famous?”

Objecting to taxing property that has already been taxed, a massive ineffective debt based handout, a budget that triples the previous year’s deficit, and a convoluted trillion dollar health thing labeled reform that removes even more state sovereignty from the people and gives it the central planners is contrary to the libertarian idea for which New Hampshire is famous?” 

Is there an ‘e’ on the end of Dumb that I don’t know about?  Did someone replace Gary’s Kool Aid with radiator fluid—it’s still tasty since that new law hasn’t made it to the NH State Senate yet. 

I’ll admit that the Bush republicans  were not conservative and certainly not libertarian, at least until now.  So those four votes (and there are actually at least nine major anti libertarian bills all of which Carol and Paul supported and republicans did not) represent the best congressional example of a party protecting a libertarian idea in the better part of a decade.  So if you are looking to advance such ideals, another hypocrat in congress is the last thing you’d want.

For the record, Carol has only spoken out against the Afghan surge.  She has yet to vote on anything.  But her objection would come in the form of refusing to vote for funding and that simply has not happened.  If I’m not mistaken she has voted for every funding bill, including military funding.  And while Obama is on his own, he’s already got unfettered access to billions courtesy of Carol.  And any new funding can just be pig piled onto the next cry-baby progressive agenda legislation and away we go. 

It is also well documented that Hodesheaporter voted against TARP (HR1424) initially, along with all the at-risk freshman democrats in the fall of 2008, as a political move at the recommendation of Nancy Pelosi in the well of the House chamber.   But it gets better.  Both NH Hypocrats later supported an effort to steal remaining TARP money to spend on other left wing pet projects (aka—union and special interest pay backs).   

Then, and this just happened in December 2009, when banks tried to pay TARP back, which we can assume would please people who claimed to be against it in the first place, Carol and Paul voted to use that money in Stimulus 2.0, this a 75 billion dollar hand out to unions and municipal workers disguised as a jobs bill (just like stimu-less 1.0). 

And we’ve no reason to believe, after spending trillions and trillions already, that even if all the TARP money were to be paid back with interest, that the gruesome twosome wouldn’t just reallocate it to something else.  Heck.  They can’t even leave it in the treasury to pay off a fraction of the debt they signed off on just in 2009.   But that’s the libertarian Ideal Gary from Hampton feels New Hampshire is famous for?  Bwahahahahaha!  Hypcorats! 

Gary clearly has made a typographical error.  What he meant to say was that these bills represent the liberal/collectivist ideal that New Hampshire Hypocrats wish New Hampshire was famous for. 

Oh, and in case it matters, Gary Patton is chairman of the Hampton Town Hypocrat Committee.  Gary’s wife, Lenore is the Rockingham County Hypocrat party chair and both endorsed Obama in 2008.   

In case you were wondering.

So Carol is a hack Hypocrat.  She has supported every opportunity to increase generational debt and to deprive the people or the states of their freedom or sovereignty.  She is a tiny cog in the top down collectivist machine of the social justice central planners, and will never be either free thinking, nor in support of the rights of anyone but her special interest supporters and the hypocrat party agenda.

And yes the Republicans have voted against her.  And better late than never.  They have defended your right to your own earnings and how they are spent; your children's rights to theirs; and the right to protect states rights, and local control.  That's government for the people by the people instead of by some distant enclave of elitest egg heads.

Carol?  She's just another statist sock puppet.
