Carol Shea-Porter - Running...for the rest of us!

New Hampshire-  Today, Former Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter sent out the following email:

Dear Friends,

I am running for the United States House of Representatives.  During my two terms serving the good people of New Hampshire's First District, I always worked for what I call the bottom 99% of Americans, and I never forgot that public office is a public trust.

I was honored to pass legislation to help active duty soldiers and veterans, families, working men and women, senior citizens, and students.  I am running again because I believe we must keep America the land of opportunity and fairness for your children and mine.

I believe that education is the key to prosperity, that renewable energy is key to our economic future and our national security, and that shipping jobs overseas hurts not just American workers but also our country.  I believe that fostering job creation and investing in America and our people are both good business decisions and good moral decisions, and that we can reduce the debt without dismantling essential programs.

Our current Congress is passing legislation that will hurt average Americans, and they are bowing to special interests instead of focusing on job creation and good government.  My dad, who was born and died a Republican, never forgot the power of good government to transform lives.   He served our country in WWII, and then our country thanked him with the GI bill for college so his children were raised in the middle class.  He and my mom worked hard, raised a family, and served their community.  They paid their taxes and when they retired, received Social Security benefits and Medicare. It was a contract.  My parents supported these programs when they worked, and used them when they retired.

My parents lived the American dream.  I still believe in it, and I know you do too.  Martin Luther King said our fates are tied up in "a single garment of destiny."   Please join me once again as we journey towards a better destiny for all.

Best Wishes,
Carol

Oh for the love of gawd.

This woman is a delusional megalomaniac. You lost. Get over it. Move on. <sigh> Well I guess it just proves that she has no other way of making a living...as most of us suspected was the case anyway.

[Richard L. Fortin]

Oh Puhleeze Louise. Don't do me any favors Carol and save your money.

Dear CSP,

Your second attempt reminds me of the government mandated toilet I was forced to buy. It usually requires two flushes to assure that the waste is completely gone. Gurgle, gurgle, gone!

[Ed Naile]

I say run Carol run, run, run Carol.

See Carol run.

Run, run, run.

[dave]

Ed... agree. I can't wait to pull that handle and hear the comfortable sound of her going down the drain. I wonder if the Dems are really giong to let her run. Even they can't be that suicidal.

dave:

My party does'nt like primaries so there will be some arm twisting to get a real candiate on the ballot with no challenge to run against Frank Guinta who would be tough to beat no matter who the Dems dredge up.

Carol would be a gift to the Republicans who actually have a track record of doing what voters want.

[Rowland]

Just make sure Jeb Bradley stays out of it. He's probably the only person in the district who can lose to her.

[Richard L. Fortin]

I agree Jeb should run for Governor and John Stephen could be a good candidate to lose to CSP after all he lost twice in the Congressional primary and once for Governor. He would make a great four time LOSER.

[Richard Olson Jr.]

I think she is just doing this because she became so fond of that dude who walked around at campaign events with the banjo singing, "Frank, Frank, What's in the Bank?" I mean think about it...Is there never a more inclusive campaign than Carol Shea-Porters'? With cast members from "Deliverance", Bussed in Union Thugs, Shrill middle-aged women strategically placed to call young smiling Republican gents, "Angry White Males", and, "Bigots and Racists;" College-aged venomous young democrats, all whipped into a Frenzy with their, "Hey Fat Frank!" and other hateful pejoratives (In spite of CSP's less-than-handsome facial template)...I say it will be great fun!

With CSP in the race there is nothing more epic than this level of stagecraft. It's like slowing down for a car crash to peer at the leg in the road.
