Jeanne Shaheen …Crossed NH’s Southern Border, Currently MIA to Actual NH Residents

SHAHEEN crossed the BORDERJeanne Shaheen is taking heat for her Scott Brown border crossing quip in their last debate.  But not (IMHO) for the right reasons.

Shaheen quipped “we sort of let this guy [her Republican opponent Scott Brown] sneak over the southern border. You’ve probably noticed that we’ve been debating border security a little bit in this campaign.  Clearly we didn’t do enough to secure the southern border of New Hampshire,” on Monday.

1) Shaheen crossed the same border, from just as far south (farther technically) , she just did it before Brown.  (I wonder if she is prepared to claim native status or that she is 1/32nd Josiah Bartlett or something…)

(October 30, 2014) – Today, the American Center for Law & Justice (ACLJ) filed a federal lawsuit in New Hampshire against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on behalf of Citizens for a Strong New Hampshire, claiming the IRS is unlawfully delaying the release of records between the IRS and U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) who demanded the IRS investigate conservative organizations for engaging in “political activities.”

The lawsuit requests the federal court to order the IRS to release the records. Led by Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow, the American Center for Law & Justice is headquartered in Washington, D.C.


The full release, as well as a quote from Jay Sekulow, can be seen here.

Angry Annie Kuster – You Don’t Know What’s Best But I Do.

You might not have thought it possible but Ann Kuster (one of the strongest supporters of Obama in Congress) was even MORE combative, and rude in the final debate than she was in the previous one.   This is an interesting tack from someone who has otherwise been invisible to New Hampshire’s equivalent of Joe and Jane 6-pack voter–and almost everyone else who is not a registered Democrat.

Perhaps Kuster is banking on very few people actually watching a debate?

Or perhaps she believes people will respond better if they understand that she thinks she just knows better than they do?

CVA Ad Corrects the Record:

Sen. Shaheen was AWOL on VA Reform
Six-Figure Statewide Buy Exposes Senator’s False Claims of Key Support

Arlington, Va. – Concerned Veterans for America (CVA) today launched a new ad, “AWOL,” to hold Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and her allies accountable for falsely claiming she played a key role in crafting and passing legislation to reform the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Contrary to her campaign’s misleading claims, Sen. Shaheen was not a leader in the push for VA reform legislation and in fact had to be shamed in to co-sponsoring the VA Management Accountability Act, which was eventually a key component of the recent VA reform bill.

Democrats looking to blame Republicans for the lack of an Ebola vaccine may owe Dick Cheney an apology.
