Kevin Baywatch Smith, Susan Collins and the Ukraine
Kevin Baywatch Smith is sounding more and more like a candidate for the United States Senate … and more and more like Mitt Romney.
For example, his ideal for a United States Senator is Susan Collins:
Corky, “Uncorked” and the Rest of the Cabal
Notice the hypocrisy from the following establishment elite: Messner, “the GOP must rally around its candidates.” The NHGOP Chair Stephen Stepanek “I understand there are a number of qualified possible candidates mulling over a potential run, and at the end of the day, we will be offering assistance to any and all candidates who announce they’ll be running.”

- Question 2: The Commissioner of Employment Security stepped down over fiscal corruption charges. What would you doto insure that ethics return to the Executive Branch?

Debate that was hosted by John Burt, questions asked by Speaker Bill O’Brien and Alex Talcott , and answered by the Candidates for the Republican nomination for NH Governor, Ovide Lamontagne and Kevin Smith.
Question 9:

One area it does this in is doubling income elegibility. That’s the aspect to bring forward the decision. That’s the aspect and the reason for the Supreme Court decision that it is optional to the States. Can you tell us whether or not NH should take up that option and expand its population? As part of your answer, can you tell us where Medicaid is going in NH and how NH is going to finally be able to protect its sovereignty from the Federal Government trying to push us to overspending here in NH?”
Question 10:
