  Number of comments: 2
  First off, I want to apologise for ignoring the blog for so long. I've been away for some time without the time or ongoing access necessary to blog effectivly. That being said, I had almost thought it a lost cause....but I can't imagine why Paul Hodes think's it appopriate to' [...]

• Who's up for a Hodes Race?

  Number of comments: 5
  With Jeb Bradley hot on Carol Shea-Porter's heels in the first district, it begs the question, who is going to step up and hold Paul Hodes "feet to the fire?"
  
  Doug over at GK has a great YouTube up of Jeb speaking in Belknap, but the silence in' [...]

• Hodes Ignoring His Constituents?

  Number of comments: 1
  A friend forwarded a link along today by a red state blogger who'd recent gotten a response to a letter they'd written Rep. Hodes. In combination with the comments, particularily one purportedly written by a former Bass intern, I can't help but notice the divergent attitudes of these' [...]

  Number of comments: 2
  Returning readers probably agree that I've had some trouble ellucidating Paul Hode's clear hypocracy when it came to his election year promises and his actual behavior in Washington. That being said, I think that a recent letter to Fosters Online and an op-ed by former Congressman Chuck Douglass [...]

• Hodes vs. Military Familes: The Video

  So I know I wrote a bit about this a few days back, but I just got done reading Doug's new post over at Granite Grok and getting to see the video added a whole new dimension for me.
  
  I particularly enjoy how Paul told these families that' [...]

• Hodes Supports Pelosi's Felony

  While I may agree with Paul Hodes thought that "it is important to engage in diplomacy with people you disagree with," I can't quite figure why he thinks that that means that the leader of his political party should have carte blanche to ignore the Logan Act, commiting a' [...]

• Peggo and Paul Meet with Troop Supporters

  Number of comments: 1
  It's good to see that Rep. Hodes has decided to meet with folks from both sides of the spectrum on Iraq, but for the life of me, I can't figure out why Peggo Hodes (who I don't remember ever standing for office) would have the temerity to think that she' [...]

• What Does Paul Hodes Really Care About?

  Number of comments: 2
  
  It's always hard for those of us on the outside of things to figure out exactly what politicians are actually supporting. Often, their public rhetoric simply panders to the audience of the moment. With that in mind, I've combed through the over 850 Dear Colleague letters sent around [...]

• What Paul Hodes Didn't Address

  Number of comments: 1
  If anyone heard Paul Hodes speech for the Democratic party's weekly radio address this weekend, I'd love to hear some feedback. Personally, I thought it was a well crafted pre-recorded speech, basically saying very little, but effectively rehashing old lines attacking Halliburton and the other contractors supporting our troops. It [...]

• Hodes Has Time for Statues?

  Number of comments: 1
  Having recently heard that Representative Hodes has been "too busy" to make many of his meetings with constituents and that he was hard pressed to get to his own birthday fundraising event (talk about tacky), I was suprised to hear that he's been making time to talk to sing his' [...]

• Hodes Panders to Homophobia

  Number of comments: 1
  It's a pretty odd day when I agree with the majority of Democrats in New Hampshire, but I have to say that I think Paul Hodes demonstrated the most absurd reaction to a blatently homophobic political hatchet job by withdrawing his support from Ray Buckley.
  
  I mean, what gives?' [...]

• Military Strategy: Hodes/Pelosi Style

  Back before the Novermber election, Rep. Hodes told everyone he had a plan on how to get out of Iraq. I've discussed it before, and you can scroll down to check it out, so I'm not going to rehash it. Suffice it to say, if he'd told New Hampshire voters' [...]

• Hodes\Democrats Ignoring Earmark "Reform"

  Number of comments: 2
  In January, Paul Hodes came to the floor for the first time to support legislation "reforming" the earmark process, saying that the Congress had to "reform the way we spend taxpayers' money, and the way we write and pass the bills meant to protect their interests." With that in mind,' [...]

• "Secret Ballots Unfair" says Hodes

  Number of comments: 2
  While Woodrow Wilson believed that self determination was the God given right of all free peoples, modern day Democrats like Paul Hodes have apparently decided that free and fair elections are an outdated and abhorrent concept. Citing apparent "unfairness" in the current system of secret ballot elections, Mr. Hodes and [...]

• Hodes on Iraq - Keep Funding It, Just Through Regular Appropriations

  I wrote the earlier post prior to noticing that Rep. Hodes has recently signed onto a bill dealing with the War in Iraq.
  
  This legislation, H.Res 97, would require a quarterly report on how reconstruction funds are being spent in Iraq and further states that Congress:

• Hodes gets the Axe - But Still Lacks a Plan

  I was amused to see that Rep. Hodes recently had the opportunity to entertain his fellow Democrats at their retreat in Williamsburg (another imporant weekday event that forced the majority party to ignore its promise to work a full 5 day week) along with fellow freshman Rep. John Hall. Given [...]

• Rep. Hodes Responds to the President's State of the Union Address

  Number of comments: 1
  Representative Hodes recently responded to the President's call to send 21,000 more troops to Baghdad by demanding "a change of course, not an escalation." While his statement wasn't particularly radical (I have no doubt that the staffer who wrote his editorial grabbed it directly from the talking points provided by [...]
