Shea-Porter launches campaign

The fact that a couple fastballs under the chin could knock Stephen out of the batter's box is all the proof voters need that he is in the wrong business.

John is a terrific budget hawk and he will do great things in the McCain administration making the federal goverment run more efficiently. That he is not much of a politician is not necessarily a bad thing.

John Stephen did not endorse bradley. I will not vote for bradley. Although I believe that Porter is a buffoon, she is truthful about her ideas. On the other hand, you have bradley, who claimed to be a conservative when he first went to congress, but proved not to be so. He was wrong for us then and is wrong for us now. Bradley is a political cancer and when faced with a cancer, you undergo painful surgery in teh hope of better things to come. Bradley must be removed from the political landscape just as cancer must be. Add in that he is a deceitful, vindictive, pot-bellied little twerp and I say go Carol. I'd rather have an honest albeit stupid and incompetent democrat there than a lying RINO (Republican In Name Only).

After the Manchester Rally, I spotted a vet hanging out, "taking in the sights." When I appoached him, he greeted me warmly, but stated that he was supporting McCain/Palin. We chatted amicably, as we both respected each's service and both of us felt that the field had been narrowed to the best 2 of the candidiates.

I gave him mad props from pulling McCain from the brink of the abyss during the primaries, as we know, had McCain lost NH it would have been all but over. He respected Obama and agreed with some of Obama's positions on Foreign Policy and the GWOT.

I didn't give him the pitch, but rather tried to represent Obama in a bi-partisan way. Then out of the blue he looked at me dead in the eye and said, "McCain is the only Republican" that he will be voting for. He praised Carol's work for vets and CD1. When I asked him if he could volunteer for Carol, he said he would like to but "pressure" would prevent it, but that "she definately has my vote."

Please call Carol Shea-Porter and Paul Hodes and have them vote NO on this nonsense they co-sponsored! This bill is supposed to correct "Nature Deficit Disorder" a new disease conjured up by the lefty nutcases! http://www.cbf.org/site/PageServer?pagename=act_sub_actioncenter_federal... HR 3036 will expand the federal role in education and indoctrinate our children with Al Gore style environmental propaganda. The current government induced energy crisis will only worsen if children are taught they must oppose exploring and developing America's own energy sources, such as drilling, nuclear and clean coal. 

Nothing in HR 3036 teaches the view that America should tap its own energy resources in an environmentally responsible way. If we're serious about American students being globally competitive, schools need to concentrate on academic basics, not inject one-sided environmentalism into every area of academic study or consume precious class time recycling and engaging in politicized community activism. We don't need yet another expansion of federal power, with Washington insiders deciding for schools what latest controversial environmental fad must be in their education standards and teacher training. The requirements for material produced under HR 3036 to be scientifically accurate and non-political are unverifiable and unenforceable. "Environmental justice" and "self-esteem" are completely non-academic political and psychological concepts that cannot and should not be taught or tested.

I am not just a taxpayer, but I am a teacher and I oppose the use of our school children as political PAWNS.
