Former Congressman Paul Hodes was a reliable Pelosi ally who tried for a bite at a bigger apple. He ran for US Senate and lost to Kelly Ayotte. Now that Dirty Dan Feltes is running for Governor his state senate seat is open and Paul ‘Hot Dog’ Hodes has his eye on it.
Concord Monitor (the ink-stained den for Progressives who have hard times stringing two coherent thoughts together) – on Jan 21, former CongressCritter Paul Hodes said that NH has to raise its entry labor costs in order to attract new businesses to NH (Yeah, as a former business owner, that gets my motor started on that … Read more
The accusations against Hilltop Public solutions go something like this. They set themselves up in a state, and along with third party and non-profit groups–many of which they create and direct–funnel tens of thousands of dollars from other Democrat groups into specific support for candidate campaigns, well…here’s an example. Montana – (The) Bullock campaign – … Read more
The Concord Monitor is reporting that Paul Hodes has started a business consultancy. This will have him back and forth to Washington DC for the purpose of connecting northern New England to Washington DC; a lateral move from his role as congressman when he was trying to sign New Hampshire away to Washington DC.
Heh! Loyal reader Bill sent me this "special" message from Paul Hodes: ok, a bit of a parody….original after the jump (You know how worked up Harrell gets…we’ve got a bottle of Maalox around if you need it. In fact, Harrell, we Groksters are trying to figure out the over / under for … Read more
Why would an engineering firm from Colorado employed to help clean up and rebuild after Hurricane Katrina be donating money to Paul Hodes 2010 campaign? MWH America is, in their own words, a global leader in wet infrastructure, but MWH has recently been charged with poor invoicing practices and even overcharging the city of … Read more
Following on the heels of Congressman Paul Hodes’ announcement of his intention to seek the Democratic nomination for NH’s US Senate seat (presently held occupied vacated in limbo thanks to Judd Gregg’s imminent departure) in 2010, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) has just released an ad in response: Ah… I’m lovin’ every minute … Read more
.. . In a July 5th post for a left-wing Granite State blog touting all of the "accomplishments" and promises kept for the people of NH by our two freshman Congressmen, Democratic Party Chair Ray Buckley wrote, Rep. Shea-Porter and Rep. Hodes also fought to raise the minimum wage for the first time in a decade. Sounds … Read more
A few months back I discovered that Paul Hodes had received a one time $10,000.00 donation from American Crystal Sugar (A major US Sugar conglomerate), at about the same time as the 288 billion dollar 2007/2008 Farm bill was being pushed through congress, and vetoes overrode. US Sugar is a protected industry with a good … Read more
What does congressional ethicist and Obama booster Paul Hodes have to say about this? Rep. Joe Sestak, winner of the Pennsylvania Democratic Senate primary, is refusing to provide more information on what job he was offered by a White House official to drop out of that race, although he confirmed again that the incident occurred. … Read more
Anyone know if Paul ‘Sugar Daddy’ Hodes and Carol Seiu-Porter have decided to raise taxes yet? That’s what that is you know? If they allow any existing cuts to expire, they are raising taxes. Now I realize our liberal friends don’t see it that way. They look at it like this. Since 2003/2005 the … Read more
Fifteen democrat Senators have written a letter to the FEC seeking to act on the possibility that multinationals are using their foreign dollars to affect US elections. Ten of the fifteen have PAC’s that have donated to Paul ‘foreign money hypocrite’ Hodes. All but one of the fifteen has taken money in 2010 from foreign … Read more
But since the democrats are actually getting more foreign money than Republicans already, (here) would it matter if Paul Hodes had taken money from PAC’s with foreign donors directly into his campaign? He’d be spending it right here in New Hampshire to, how did he phrase it? affect local elections.
A prominent talk radio host brings up an interesting point. The democrats have spent trillions in the past two years, driving the deficit over 3.5 Trillion (from that irresponsible 400 Billion Bush left behind) with roughly a trillion of that money borrowed from the Chinese government. That’s a trillion sent to the US treasury, which … Read more
Paul Hodes gets an ‘A+’ for toeing the Pelosi/Obama Party line, and a least an ‘A’ for recycling the party talking points. For example, Barack Obama has been wandering around claiming the Chamber of Commerce is using foreign money to affect local elections. Paul Hodes has been wandering around New Hampshire saying the exact same thing.
Since it’s so darn important, just how much money from entities who have donors with foreign interests has poured into US political campaigns in 2010? Here’s an appetizer of a hint. I bet neither Paul Hodes nor his media puppet Mark Bergman bothered to look before Mister "independent voice" just read it off the DNC … Read more
The larger problem for Mr. Bergman is this; if in fact, he has evidence to prove his otherwise vague remarks, he might be subject to investigation for violating federal law himself by obstructing, concealing, or failing to promptly report legitimate violations of federal election law.
For 2010, before "discovering" that he was against earmarks in an election year, Paul Hodes, democrat congressman and candidate for the US Senate requested over 51,000,000.00 million in appropriations. That earned him the distinction of being ranked the 45th highest earmarker in the entire House of Representatives for 2010. That’s 45 out of 435 in … Read more
Have you noticed that Paul Hodes is running on the things he voted against? It’s a very short list and represents less than a fraction of 1% of his votes, but wouldn’t that mean he’s running as the party of no? I thought no was bad. In fact, for the past two years, "no" has … Read more
I Scooped this up from Matt over at Red Hampshire. American Crossroads is hitting Paul Hodes right in the…well… wiener. Using the now laughably famous Hodes"Hot Dog" ad for context, they point out just a sliver of the waste Hodes voted for from a fraction of one spending bill out of many–the Porkulus. Give it … Read more
