Half-Bass’d Mast [Updated]

Well the timer was short. The result? When you copy an image location and someone does not like what you do with it, they snip your little life-line and the image goes away. You are left with a broken link, some alternate text if you added any, and plenty of people asking–huh?

They’d Be Representing You.

If you were playing a game of ‘Pick-up’ basketball, and the goal was actually to try and save the US constitution, and the only two players left to pick from were Ann McLane Kuster (McKluster), or Charlie Bass, who would you want on your team? I don’t live in CD-2 so I can’t make that … Read more

Primary Night (scratch that) “Morning After” Update

The initial indications showing Frank Guinta with the lead have continued as the evening has developed but the race tightened with Rich Ashooh closing to withing a small percentage.  In the end Guinta prevailed with Sean Mahoney–who conceded early coming in third place. The Ovide/Kelly race is so close it still has not been called. … Read more

Bass Linked To Soros?

Charlie Bass is a Main Street Republican, even serving in a leadership position for some years.

The Main Street Republicans are RINO’s, moderates, they are not conservatives, nor are they libertarians.  They are big government right of center democrats.  And according to Michelle Malkin one of the group’s soft money fronts has (in the past) accepted donations from the likes of George Soros.

The donations go back to 2002 and 2005 and the money "launderers" are claiming no affiliation, but Malkin has dug up enough details of her own and from other sources to make a case that Soros sees enough value in the policy positions of Main Street Republicans–people like Charlie Bass–to feel comfortable giving them large sums of money.

You can follow the links, do all the reading, and come to your own conclusions–I’m not here to seel you on it–but anyone who has seen the C-Bass voting record knows he is closer to Soros than anyone else running for the Republican nomination in CD-2.

You would think that should matter in a state with the motto Live Free or Die.  You’d think.

Character Bass-assination

  So how does this work for Charlie Bass? Back in 2005 C-Bass lead the school in an effort to get Tom DeLay to step down as Majority leader because of possible connections to Lobbyist Jack Abramoff. That’s not exactly a way to instill confidence or support in the guy.  Well the DoJ just announced … Read more

He Went To Do Good And Stayed To Do Well

The saying is that "he went to Washington to do good and stayed to do well" and the first name that popped into my mind was Charlie Bass.  C-Bass epitomizes this ruling class cultural maxim.  He promised you term limits then changed his mind.  He became a Main Streeter, moderate fence sitters who abandoned principle … Read more

Can Charlie be “Energy Independent”?

I recently read an article claiming that "biomass" energy will produce more greenhouse gasses than coal over the next 40 years.

Basically, biomass energy is the process of harvesting, then burning/incinerating wood and other plant (sometimes animal) products.  In addition to wood, the biomass plant category includes corn, hemp, and sugarcane.  The act of harvesting can include using construction debris, collecting waste or fallen trees, or by cutting live trees.

Massachusetts, under Governor Deval Patrick, recently invested $1M into the development of four new wood-burning plants in their State, but has decided to rethink their position based on this study, which was prepared for the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources.  The department has opened the study for comments, and plans to conduct hearings this July.
 
Click References to this study can be found in numerous articles: Here, and here

Now, I’ve listened to Charlie Bass speak a number of times.  Each time, he’s touted the fact that he’s been successful in the renewable, "biomass" energy business for a while.  Charlie has used his time and experience in the biomass industry, since losing to Paul Hodes in 2006, as a badge of honor.  Charlie is a board member for 2 renewable energy companies.
 
He has claimed that biomass can help us "reduce our dependence on foreign oil" (it could make a small dent, at the expense of cutting a lot of trees), is renewable (only if cut-based harvesting is followed by replanting), and is clean.  Well, according to this study, it may not be as clean as we thought, and is certainly not "carbon-neutral".
 
I recently asked Charlie whether he’ll resign from the boards of these companies (one makes wood-pellets, the other builds biomass plants), or recuse himself from all energy policy activity in Congress, should he be elected in November.  His response was that he will "resign from the boards".

However, my big question is…

The Specter Of Bass

There is speculation that part of the problem with some incumbants and candidates who are seeking higher office (like an Arlen Specter or Charlie Crist) is that they want it too much.  They want the office more than anything.  In Specter’s case he switched parties to keep his senate seat.  Crist crooned about his devotion to … Read more

Revolving Door

The Revolving door is the millwork of connected Political insiders in Washington.  These are the people that keep tax dollars flowing into the metastasizing tumor of big government, and through the veins of the groups that use the revolving door to feed their own wealth and influence.    It is a fiscally incestuous relationship between power … Read more

Bass Finder

A recent ‘Monitor Staff’ editorial takes the occasion of the Charlie Bass candidacy to take a pot shot at the Tea party movement while asking who Charlie Bass really is?  We know who he is.  He’s a Blue Dog Republican.
