As our friends at Bluehampshire note about another one of our Democratic New Hampshire candidates for Congress, Paul Hodes, this ad for Carol Shea-Porter wasn't paid for with foreign money either. The citizens of New Hampshire pay their own way. And this seventy year old grandmother, who's got no Social Security account, 'cause stay-at-home wives and mothers don't qualify on their own, considers her contribution to this ad well spent.
What do you think?
Most states probably aren't so lucky as to have a candidate for Congress bluntly state that he not only wants to deprive his own children of a secure future, but thinks they shouldn't even know how a mutual assistance program works. Lord only knows what else he's prepared to deprive them of.
But, what's really got me puzzled is that on the YouTube page, where the embed code for Carol Shea-Porter's ad is located, there's a featured ad asking "Think you know Carol," that claims to have been paid for by the National Republican Senate Committee (NRSC).
Has Palin confusion gone viral? We know that Palin gets confused about the states, thinking that West Virginia candidates are running in Pennsylvania. But the RNSC? They don't know that Carol Shea-Porter is just a two-term Democrat in the lowly House of Representatives, looking for another two years to slog through the hundreds of bills the Senate hasn't yet bothered to address? Do they not know there's a Palin clone running for Senate in our state? What can they be thinking?
Maybe all those women (Carol and Annie and Kelly) applying for House and Senate jobs are just too hard to tell apart.
Or maybe it's that bi-polar model which tells them aiming at Democrats is sure to guarantee a Republican win, somewhere. Guess, when you're bowling alone, gutter balls don't count.
It's getting a little late in the day to be looking for dollars. So, what I'd suggest is that you send this URL to the people on your lists that click.

Most Americans, when they come to think of it, don't want the children to be sacrificed for the elders.
