Hard to take you seriously "survivor" without a name.

@ Survivor
It was a bunch of liberals Bill Clinton handed the country off to? Really? Who sent this country into this deep recession? Do you remember? THEY WEREN'T LIBERALS.

Stop listening to Rush.

Could you name something Kuster is "extremist" about?

@ Bob

If you're going to be juvenile and use McCarthy-era epithets, can't you at least spell them right? "Comrade".

And Obama isn't all that "left", btw. He just seems to be to people who live in a country that has been moving to the right for 30 years, and who listen to right wing hate radio and watch Fox News. Just sayin'.

If a Driver's License is a right and not a priviledge, then a Driver's License could never be suspended or revoked ??? Now that is going in the wrong direction

@hilltopper
A lot of rights can be taken away. It's called going to prison.

It never ceases to amaze me how inept conservatives are at drawing logical conclusions. They want so badly for things to make sense and yet can't untangle the absolute mess of hatred and bigotry in their own minds. Political zombies.

I couldn't have vocalized (written) it better! Ditto what Sonia wrote!!! I think Ann Kuster is an excellent representative for our state!!!

How do we know your name is Sonia Prince? My name could be just Prince Caspian. I have to provide my real name to be taken seriously? Or will make it easier for you and the rest of the "Full Namers" on this site to try and censore me because I don't agree with you? You demand my name for posting on Patch but you don't demand that I produce an ID when voting?

What do you want his school transcripts for? Who cares? We know this much; he graduated from Harvard magna cum laude, and was president of the Harvard Law Review.

Now, why won't Mitt Romney (pronounced raw-money) release his taxes?
http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/04/13/11187658-under-pressure-from-obama-romney-asks-for-extension-on-taxes?lite

Okay, I'll bite. Tell me all about what is contained in those school transcripts. Did Obama take a course on communism? I had to take a social science, and I took one about real-world anarchism. No, it's not about hating government. Does every course I take make me whatever the topic is? I just want to know what hilarious direction you are taking this in.

A member of the same far right that votes the same way on every issue and
pledges allegiance to Grover Norquist complaining about individuality??????

ROTFL ROTFL ROTFL ROTFL ROTFL ROTFL ROTFL ROTFL ROTFL ROTFL

You're right David, why conceal? Nothing there, Elizabeth Warren "Harvard Professor"no big deal. Harvard what a joke!

"president of the Harvard Law Review"
- an elected position (a popularity contest)

Romney was a Baker Scholar at Harvard Business School. Top 5% of the class. Based only on grades.

@ seamus
"president of the Harvard Law Review"
- an elected position (a popularity contest)"

Was his graduating magna cum laude a popularity contest, too?

So, back Romney's taxes... Why is he hiding them?

I see comrade Lil joe da circus seal is here doing what he does best.... ROTF Licking

comrade obama wont release his college records because he has to keep the fact that he received funding as a foreign exchange student from the tax payers He was then and is now a fraud, another affirmative action hero of the far left

I don't recall calling Clinton anything in any of posts, but since you asked,
The Clinton comment you are referring to was an idiotic comment. Common
sense calls for ending the Bush tax cuts for wealthy Americans. Yes, I proudly
support Ann Kuster to replace Bass, one of the ten most corrupt congressmen
in the United States.

Blindly follow! Bass is wrong when he follows party lines, but Clinton is wrong because he didn't? People you just can't make this garbage up!

Why, Why is so hard to say we agree with the opposing party?
http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2012/05/27/drones-the-silent-killers.html

Patriot, Patriot, Patriot
Get it.! Hello. Anybody home upstairs? That is exactly the point. Clinton is a Democrat. But if he screws up or acts like a republican I will call him on it, democrat or not. See, I do NOT blindly defend him just because I'm in his same party! Get it?????????????

LJoel, I get it and that's what is sad. Whether you like it or not Bush was Obama light.

Carty, ever hear of "volunteer"? You should try it some day! I wish they would pay me; I can't work those hours, I got other jobs I do. If you were better at Googling, you would know that "no one" is paid at the Nashua Democrats, all volunteers, and that Team Leaders for the Obama Campaign are also volunteers, but keep trying...I"m sure Google gives classes. I know that's hard for a Republican to understand since they only people working for Romney are paid staffers.

Patriot'
...."Bush is Obama light." What does that even mean? Sorry.
I didn't take double talk in school.

The Ryan budget. Really. Get a grip. Democrats love to rail against the Ryan budget. Tell us Jan. Tell us about the Democrat budget in the last 3 years. How can you complain about the Ryan budget when you have NOTHING to compare it to? In fact, I think the last budget enacted by Congress was from the Bush administration. Democrats always say that Bush had two "unfunded" wars. President Obama has had 3 years of an unfunded government because him and Harry Reid cannot follow the Constitution and pass a budget. Remember, Aug 4 last year, during the debate to extend the debt ceiling (because we don't have a budget) it was president Obama and Harry Reid who threatened seniors with withholding their Social Security checks.

What Democrat budget? Do you pay attention to the news at all? The Democrat budget was blocked repeatedly (despite being balanced) by the Republicans.

To For the People;

I do read the news. Harry Reid said he will not bring a budget resolution to the floor this year "because we do not need it". Period. Secondly, the White House has tried to claim that the GOP has blocked budget votes in the Senate by using the filibuster. As you hopefully know, a filibuster cannot be used to block the budget process.

So what budget has been blocked repeatably by the GOP?

There's a reason we rail on the Ryan budget!!!!!!!

Don't look at me to speak for the "DINO'S," but we progressives do have budget,
and it’s the polar opposite of the nightmarish Ryan budget.

Here's a good summary.

And of course, last year's debt ceiling debacle that continues on:
http://www.wcsh6.com/news/national/article/161014/44/Republicans-vow-to-block-an-increase-in-the-debt-ceiling-without-spending-cuts?odyssey=mod|newswell|text|FRONTPAGE|p

And straight from the horses mouth,
"McConnell: Republicans will block debt ceiling again in 2013 ..."
http://www.rawstory.com/rawreplay/2011/08/mcconnell-republicans-will-block-debt-ceiling-again-in-2013/

These are all issues relevant to the budget. Tell me why Republicans aren't obstructionists? I could go on about the stimulus compromises, the student loan bill, tax cuts for the wealthy being extended as political trade, etc. The Republicans benefit from tanking the economy, sad but true.

"but his leadership demands he toe the line"
Bass votes with his party 85% of the time.

http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/111/house/members/

Talk about "toeing the line"...

Jan, I am with you; I'd rather her working for us (NH) then a man like Bass who can't stand up to his party to vote for what is best for the constituents of the state who elected him- he seems only concerned about his party!

Jan, are you the same Jan Schmidt that is on the Cilley (D) campaign staff? You are getting paid by the Cilley (D) campaign; how much is the Kuster (D) campaign paying you?

"Jan Schmidt, owner and manager of the thewebfixers.com based in Nashua, is the Cilley website manager."

Carter Seamus, are you scared because we don't support who you support? I volunteer for all these people any chance I get and send money when I can because I know I definitely don't want to line the pockets of the rich with their ridiculous voucher programs that make them even richer! Deregulations, non-supportive of anyone getting an education or making our country competitive.....yup, we don't support who you support, get used to it! Do you support your candidates, or do you simply waste time talking about it?

Seamus Carter, according to my sources, you don't exist. Why don't you tell us your real name?

"Carter Seamus"... "Seamus Carter"...? Sonia can't even get the name right...

Maybe she thinks I'm Jimmy Carter? "Seamus" is Irish for "James".

"according to my sources, you don't exist"?
Really? Who are these "sources"? If I do not exist, how can I type?

"Sonia Prince"
"Organizing for America Nashua Team Leader"
"Marketing & PR for local business & Nashua Democrats"

Seems like we know who is paying for Sonia's posts...

@Seamus
You forgot Occupy NH Supporter and Drinking Liberally Co Founder

So glad Seamus Carty/ Carty Seamus....Carter...whoever you are, no-name knows how to Google. Wow! Impressive!! lol
Again, googled you with different spellings and first/last name...you don't exist...just talk a lot under a false name....not brave with your words, that's for sure! Why aren't you proud of your words? Are they paying you?

Sonia. I do exist. I am right here. Maybe your confusion is due to the fact that Seamus is not my real first name. It is my middle name. I had the same first name as my father, an Irish tradition, and people know me by my middle name.
No one is paying me (unlike Jan Schmidt). I am not in politics at all. I run my own company in the software industry.
Do you want to know more about me or discuss the issues of the day?

Carty said "Do you want to know more about me or discuss the issues of the day?" Carty, do you not read your posts? You are the one who googled to the obvious: yes, we are democratic supporters and we take the time to volunteer. You should try it. Would you like to know what kinds of pets we keep, along with our other volunteer work that you enjoy listing on our behalf? I'm also a volunteer at schools. Wow, you couldn't find that on google, so I figured I'd save you some time. You, Mr. Seamus, seem to enjoy typing our bio's of volunteer work, instead of talking about the issues of the day.

Dear Sonia, you are the one that started this googling of other posters... Remember "Seamus Carter"?

comrade Lil joe da circus seal babbled :
There's a reason we rail on the Ryan budget!!!!!!!

www.imdumbasastumpthatswhy.com

Really?

"Kuster's career has also involved many years of lobbying the New Hampshire State Legislature on behalf of clients such as Merck Vaccines; Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) -- with whom she helped created the NH Medication Bridge program , a public-private partnership which provides free prescriptions to patients in need; Fidelity Investments - with whom she helped create the NH UNIQUE College Savings Plan to help families save money for college tax-free; Dartmouth College and Medical School, NARAL Pro-Choice New Hampshire, Bedford Ambulatory Surgical Center, and the New Hampshire College and University Council.
In 2004, Kuster received the 2004 Marilla M. Ricker Achievement Award from the New Hampshire Women's Bar Association."

If you call someone who was an adoption lawyer for 30 yrs a lobbyest, go ahead!

S.C.
You still don't see the difference between lobbying on behalf of those aforementioned companies behalf whose only interest is lining their pockets, and "LOBBYING" THOSE COMPANIES on behalf of the American people. You sir are unbelievable.

So how much did she earn while sitting in a chair at a meeting? Lobbyist do not "work" for free, good cause or bad.
I have seen some lobbyist make 6 figures easily.

Kuster did not lobby these companies, she lobbied on behalf the state government on behalf of these companies. They PAID her to use her influence in order for them to increase their business and profits. Merck paid her. Fidelity paid her. She was a lobbyist.

She is a partner at a law firm that lobbies on behalf of companies such as BCBS, General Mills, Markem,..

S.C.
Simply read Jan Schmidt's post to understand Ann Kusters stellar record on
advocating for the people. I could not possibly say it better so I defer.

Advocating for people? A lobbyist advocates for whoever pays them. Kuster has lobbied for financial services firms and pharmaceuticals.

I guess corporate lobbyists are bad unless they are Democrats.

If you are so affraid that Kuster was linked to a lobbyist, this should scare you more!FACT: Charlie Bass gets 99% of his donations from corporations. Fact. Annie Kuster gets most of her donations (less than $50/person) from voters! Who do you think is working for you?

"FACT: Charlie Bass gets 99% of his donations from corporations. Fact. Annie Kuster gets most of her donations (less than $50/person) from voters!"

Any proof for these claims?

Gotta love this guy's name and his 7 yr old potty talk, go find a blog who will take you seriously, this is a conversation between mature adults.

comrade prince how do we know the name your posting under is not an alias ? your about as mature as most obama supporters. Like Bolshevik obama you post your drivel and lies for cover

That sounds to me like a continuation of Republican rhetoric that sounds like a war on women and you have forgotten that we have the Right to Vote- which I know many women that exercise their rights.

"War on woman?" Are you kidding me? Woman take their own out don't blame anyone or party for that.

comrade kevghas does the commiecrat party email you your talking points ? war on woman ...more made up BS and lies from the commiecrat party and bolshevik obama are you any relation to comrade joe soptic ?

So mature; again, this is an adult conversation. No one is taking anything you say serisously....7th grade comments, waste of time and space on this page.

Mr Hardy Har Har Har,

Watch out the "Full Namers" have you in thier crosshairs

"A lobbyist is a lobbyist is a lobbyist."
Imagine if you will, a crazed madman unleashes a machine gun in a shopping
mall shooting everyone in sight. The security guard shoots and kills him. The
security guards actions are the equivalent of the crazed madman. After all,
a killer is a killer is a killer.
The above analogy is every bit as preposterous as it is graphic. But it is not much
more ridiculous than equating Ann Kuster lobbying to create the NH UNIQUE College Savings Plan to help families save money for college or NH Medication Bridge program , a public-private partnership which provides free prescriptions to needy patients, with bribing politicians to deregulate the banking industry or bribing politicians to deregulate drilling standards for the oil industry to line their filthy pockets at the public expense.
You’re wrong.

You know that Bass was a lobbyist too, right?
http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Merrill+to+head+Devine+lobbying+unit.-a0177721017

FYI, banks and corporations are sitting on billions, on purpose....not the democratic way

The one link you post that is not a childish stupid diatribe is instead a misleading bald faced lie. Try reading the time line in your own link. The recession started in
2007 and reached crisis in late 2008 while George Bush Was president of the United States .Obama inherited the worst recession in nearly 80 years and the economy started to improve within the six months of his presidency. That 40 percent drop in wealth is clearly on Bushes timeline. Thanks for yet again embarrassing yourself and good luck removing that boot from your mouth.

Patriot,
Have your glasses checked. I did not bring the subject up. I corrected
the blatant lie that H.H.H.H. posted. That is an obvious fact. "House of cards"
is a slogan used to describe the housing bubble in the previous decade that burst.
It did not slowly crumble. If you don't want to hear about those subjects, tell you and
your friends not to bring them up!

"Big corporations only". That is a lie:

The second category of Bass' contributors is "retired".
http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/summary.php?cid=N00000423&cycle=2012

When he ran in 2010, 49% of his donations came from individuals, not PACs or corporations.
http://www.opensecrets.org/races/summary.php?cycle=2010&id=NH02

And when did Bass state that he wants to get rid of public education? healthcare? college?...

"Getting rid of public education and privatizing everything into vouchers?"

When did Romney ever state that he supported getting rid of public education? He may support vouchers as an alternative choice for parents, but that is not "getting rid" of anything...
