Eekks! I hardly know where to start dispelling so many just-an-opinion rather-than-truth statements made in 3 or 4 letters to the editor printed in the Concord Monitor on July 30.
Perhaps addressing each one individually is the way to go. Here’s Steve Metzger’s “Some Statesman” in response to “Unlike Democrats, I’m looking for answers on Iraq.”
Metzger states:
“First, Hodes and Shea-Porter are following the mandate given them by a majority of New Hampshire voters.”
Really? Perhaps you remember the old TV commercial where the old lady said: “where’s the beef?” Where do you get your information, Mr. Metzger? Where’s your proof?
And, for sure, Judd Gregg does have every reason to fault Hodes and Shea-Pompous for
“their unwillingness to buck their liberal leadership’s agenda.”
Here’s Doug’s recent post on some proof that Hodes and Pompous vote along the party line consistently, click here.
Shea-Pompous has lied when she told military people that she had gotten back to the families who had repeatedly requested a meeting with her. She lied about taking money after she said she wouldn’t. She lied about voting for a minimum wage increase. She lied when she said she speaks for the troops. She’s lied and twisted the truth so much that perhaps she believes it herself by now.
Just because Blair had the nickname “Bush’s poodle” doesn’t mean it’s true. Those closer to Blair than you people would tell you otherwise. Look it up! Plus, who do you suppose gave him that name and for what purpose?
Did Bush lie about why we went to war or did he act on the intelligence available at the time? Even Chillary (hey, I like her new name and think I’ll use it more often) voted for the war based on the information available at the time.
Gregg is right to say that Hodes and Shea-Pompous are playing politics with the war. What democrat doesn’t continue to play politics at the cost of our soldiers and their mission? Democrats want nothing more than for the terrorists to win and for America to lose; in fact, they want to tell them the exact date when we’re leaving which is aiding and comforting America’s enemies and constitutes treason against America and Americans. If Bush wins the war, or another republican, the democrats lose. It’s about them and their political future not about what’s best for Americans.
And, puhleze, Mr. Metzger, your statement:
“After years of abusive partisanship, towering arrogance and stunningly stupid decisions”
applies more to the current democratic leadership. What have they accomplished after hundreds of days in office? One thing, and that’s passing a minimum wage increase.
Perhaps the democrats are way too busy having slumber parties that accomplish nothing and pursuing the AG when there are certainly much more pressing matters facing America.
Oh yeah, they’re all leaving for a month’s vacation starting today with a lot of unfinished important business and have done nothing more than waste a lot of our tax payer dollars accomplishing very little after a lot of promises.
Michael Evans letter, here, says that
“Bush and Cheney and the rest of the neo-con chicken hawks have destroyed the Republican Party. It will be generations before they return to power.”
Oh, I hardly think so, if naïve Americans will wake up. What was the democratic’s most recent poll ratings? Oh yeah, Americans polled put their approval rating at about 13%!! Bush’s was at 32% at the same time.
As far as Walt Moyer’s letter, “Country’s a Mess”, here, who lies, cheats and steals? Look no further than the arrogant democrats who care more about themselves than they care about any of you.
The rest of Moyer’s letter is just too stupid to even require a response from me except to say, yes, the economy is doing great, but the left-wing media certainly isn’t going to report it as much as anything that denigrates Bush or our military. Just because foreclosures are up in Manchester, mostly due to stupid people making poor decisions about adjustable rate mortgages, etc. and what they could really afford, what’s that mean? Nothing more than stupid people making very poor decisions that they now have to suffer the consequences.
Next is Senate President Sylvia Larsen’s pack of lies just too numerous to mention. I’ve addressed most of these in past posts; i.e., smoking ban, civil unions, etc. But, since we had our recent crash here, all of my previous posts can’t be linked just yet. Poor Skip is working overtime getting the entire ‘grok back up and available.
However, let me just say that I totally disagree with Ms. Larsen when she says:
“This was a historic legislative session (well, that parts true, it’s just not good) and one that led to real progress for the people of New Hampshire.”
Since NH voters were not consulted on some of these very radical changes, instead of calling it “progress”, I’d call it raising taxes for us on things that none of us really got to vote on and wanted to vote on some of these very major changes to NH’s landscape. Yep, we’re the nanny state and taxahampshire now so we should thank mommy Larsen and all of her constituents…NOT!
