  • Deaf and Dumb to We the People

    Blue Hampshire

     Kelly Ayotte's idea for health care "reform" is copied wholesale from DC GOP talking points, i.e., to make the murder-by-spreadsheeters more efficient (or something) by stripping out statewide consumer protections, such as, in NH, requiring coverage for OBY/GYN visits and mammographies.

    Meanwhile out-of-touch elites like Evan Bayh and Ben Nelson and [...]

    Leadership! Ambers:

    When asked if she's a Jim DeMint Republican or a Susan Collins Republican (and clearly there's a right answer if you're looking to get elected in New Hampshire), Ayotte won't even answer, which is one suggestion that conservative Republicans are dominating the primary process in New Hampshire.

    Interesting. I thought the fallout from the bigotry bomb would be restricted to those directly in the "guilt by association" line, i.e. Jeb Bradley, Ovide Lamontagne, and Frank Guinta, and perhaps even Kevin Smith, given his line of advocacy.

    And indeed all of those names have come up.  But then [...]

  • Stop abortion coverage ban

    Democracy for New Hampshire

    SOURCE: Democrats.com The House of Representatives passed health-reform legislation that included an anti-choice amendment that will seriously jeopardize women's access to abortion – making it virtually impossible for private insurance companies that participate in the new health system to offer abortion coverage to women.

    This would have the effect of denying women the right [...]
