We’ll talk about NH’s infamous gay Episcopal Bishop, Gene Robinson, who has announced his intentions to enter into a civil union with his "partner." As Skip reported in his post below, the Bishop has declared his intentions to do this prior to the biggest confab that church holds, the Lambeth Conference– held once every ten years. Says the Bish: "I am certainly not doing that to rub salt into anyone’s wounds, but no one should expect me to penalize me and my partner when these rights are being offered," Of course not. Why would this "man of the cloth" turn from his selfish ways now?
-
Along with the Bishop Robinson discussion, Judy Paris will jump in the fray and we’ll discuss her post that has once again riled up the chimps out in the blogosphere: Is NH civil union legislation based on lies?
-
Jeb Bradley has been hot on the trail to regain the US House seat lost to Carol Shea Porter practically since the last ballot was counted. We’ve always like Jeb, and thought he got a bum rap when he got tossed back in the November mid-term elections. We’ll discuss where the campaign’s at and what his upcoming plans are for the primary.
-
Who are NH’s power players? GraniteGrok is assembling the list. We’ll discuss who we think are today’s power brokers here in the Granite State. Times are changing, and those who shake and move things are as well.
-
Is a broadbased tax coming to NH? Can it even be avoided? Even if it could, is there the political muscle to stop it? Are the Republicans left with nothing left to fight over except "which tax?"
-
Former Mass Gov. A. Paul Celluci is travelling to NH this weekend with America’s Mayor, Rudy Giuliani and Steve Forbes to talk taxes and the economy. He’ll give us the highlights immediately following the event. He has been an excellent guest on previous MTNP appearances. Giuliani is the apparent frontrunner at the moment in the ’08 WhiteHouse race. We’re excited to have someone from the top of the campaign, as always, to give our listeners the inside scoop.
-
Outgoing NH HHS head John Stephen has announced he intends to take another stab at the House seat currently held by Democrat Carol Shea Porter. In order to do that, he must engage the aforementioned Jeb Bradley in a primary. Stephen is certainly a formidable force within NH Republican circles, much like Jeb. This will be an interesting campaign to watch. We are rather lucky here in the District, to have such quality Republicans seeking election. Watch out Shea-Porter! John Stephen will join us to discuss the campaign, Shea Porter’s record, and why he thinks that HE is the best man to unseat NH’s Pelosi clone…
