NH Senate: Shaheen (D) Booed and Jeered for Interrupting Closing Statement of Scott Brown (R)

Brown was born on September 12, 1959,[6] at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard located on Seavey's Island in Kittery, Maine[7] but after his parents divorced, when he was about a year old, his mother moved him to Wakefield, Massachusetts.[8] He often spent his summers in Newburyport, Massachusetts, where his father served as a city councilor for 18 years.

You both live on the seacoast, so let’s go to the western part of the state and let’s talk about Sullivan County.

Hearing that First Lady, Michelle Obama, may be considering a run to replace Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), if the 81-year-old retires in 2018, caused a shiver to run down my spine.

While it’s only a rumor at this point, rumors have a way of turning into reality especially when liberal Democrats are involved.

Michelle Obama is rumored

Kristina Schake, the first lady’s former communications director, said on Tuesday, “She is as likely to put her name in contention to be the next pope as she is to run for political office,” Politico reported.

In May, President Obama issued his own denial of the claims on “Live with Kelly and Michael” saying, “One thing I can promise you is that Michelle will not run for office.”

40kg Of Cocaine Found On Mitch McConnell’s Father-In-Law’s Boat

Author: Nathaniel Downes October 31, 2014 1:30 pm

James Chao, father of Mitch McConnell’s wife Elaine, has a lot of questions to answer after 40 kilograms of cocaine (about $6.7 million worth) was found on the Ping May, a ship owned by the Foremost Group, a company James Chao founded and led to a tidy fortune. But was that fortune built on honest movement of legitimate bulk trade goods, or has Mr. Chao been trading in less than legal goods?

The cocaine, found in 40 separate packages, was discovered during a routine inspection hidden among a load of coal bound for Europe from the port of Santa Marta, Columbia onboard the Ping May, one of 15 ships Foremost currently operates, with another 8 under construction. The final destination for the ship was to be the Netherlands, likely one of the port cities surrounding Amsterdam. It is known that the Ping May has been witnessed at the port of Zaanstad, one of these cities, in the past.

Foremost Group is the source of most of Senator McConnell’s fortune through gifts and inheritance from his in-laws. It is a shadowy corporation, utilizing a complex scheme of shell companies to skip out on millions in taxes annually.

They fly their ships under the flag of Liberia, a west African nation known for its lax labor protections, allowing Foremost the opportunity to exploit its ships’ workforce with little fear of recrimination. However, this status as an employer-friendly anti-labor nation also allowed western African nations, such as Liberia, to become one of the epicenters for drug smuggling through legitimate channels. By working to extract every red cent of profit at the cost of the laborers who make their fortunes possible, Foremost may have sewn the seeds of its own downfall.

It could be that some among the ships workforce, tired of being exploited, decided on being creative with their income. It could be that the drug cartels which dominate Columbia inserted the cocaine without any of the ships crew knowing. Or it could be that Mr. Chao is in league with the drug cartels, possibly for a very long time, and chose to fly under the Liberian flag for this very reason. We do not know.

It is most likely that Mr. Chao’s greed is the only crime for which he is guilty. By using this elaborate scheme to not only defraud the US government of owed taxes but to exploit his workforce, Mr. Chao may have made such a scenario a foregone conclusion. Now his company is under a microscope, the last place the very private man wanted it.

See, you are following the talking points, observant, even though they are wrong. Read the posts above and see what REALLY was said

James Pindell: When it comes to jobs and the economy we have a big picture conversation, but I want to drill down to main street here in New Hampshire. You both live on the seacoast, so let’s go to the western part of the state and let’s talk about Sullivan County. Senator Brown what do you see going right in the economy in Sullivan County and what’s going wrong and please be specific.

Scott Brown: Well you’re absolutely right. Geography plays a role, along the southern border we have more jobs, and more opportunity, infrastructure and other opportunities up north that are difficult. But one of the biggest opportunities is tourism. One of the biggest opportunities are our ski areas and trails for snowmobiles. I support those efforts

How about the standards of the law? (which you'll never repeal)

Anyone who has employer provided health insurance is subsidized! The premiums your employer pays for your insurance are not considered income for tax purposes.

WHL wrote:I totally agree with you Outer.  I am not thrilled with Brown being as moderate as he is as well as other moderate Repubs.  but they are better than the Dems!!!

Democratic New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen was principally involved in a plot with Lois Lerner and President Barack Obama’s political appointee at the IRS to lead a program of harassment against conservative nonprofit groups during the 2012 election, according to letters exclusively obtained by The Daily Caller.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) did not want to publicly release 2012 correspondences exchanged between the IRS and Jeanne Shaheen at her personal Washington office: the agency delayed releasing the information to a major conservative super PAC multiple times, even threatening to see the super PAC in court, according to emails.

News Buzzard wrote: I agree, but it is still a tax exemption under IRS rules, which is the equivalent of a subsidy. Anytime we get a break on our taxes, whether it be an exemption or credit, it's a subsidy!! We're OK with subsidies that we get, but some of us are not OK with subsidies that lower earners get under Obamacare!! That's a double standard.

You don’t see the difference between a standard deduction available to all tax payers and a subsidy available to only those who qualify?
Your argument is so flawed it’s impossible to take it or you seriously.

News Buzzard wrote:It's quite obvious that you're only OK with the breaks you get!! You got yours!!

Outerlimits wrote:
You claim everything is George W. Bush’s fault along with the Republicans in Congress even though Bush has been gone for almost six years and the Republicans control one half of one third of the government.

Outerlimits wrote: Somehow you missed the fact that your guy has been running the show and the have been ZERO attempts to change the tax code.  Why? Because Obama and the rest of congress are in bed with Wall Street.

Outerlimits wrote:I am very sure that working taxpayers in this country would much rather pay income taxes on the full value of their insurance premiums in lieu of paying for everyone else’s insurance.  But I am sure you would find that to be unacceptable.  You want it all.

News Buzzard wrote: It doesn't really matter how long Bush has been gone because most of his disastrous tax cuts are still in place.

News Buzzard wrote: Somehow you missed the fact that one of your guys, David Camp, proposed a flat tax in the House which fell flat on it's face. The House majority is Republican!.

The party of the incumbent president tends to lose ground during midterm elections: over the past 21 midterm elections, the President's party has lost an average 30 seats in the House, and an average 4 seats in the Senate; moreover, in only two of those has the President's party gained seats in both houses.

It was not support of Republican politicians as much as it was a revolt against the policies of the current administration and the direction liberal government has taken the country both at the state and federal levels.  People are tired of big government, they are tired of bad government and a big exclamation point was sent out in earnest last night.
