Cullen: N.H. voters were indifferent to Biden during primaries

By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com Reporter

New Hampshire Republican Chairman Fergus Cullen said Granite State voters should question why Barack Obama's campaign has not released a list of earmarks requested by Joe Biden.

"To be charitable, New Hampshire voters responded to Joe Biden with indifference both times he ran for president here; Biden dropped out before the New Hampshire primary in both 1988 and 2008 due to lack of support," Cullen said in a statement. "But this time New Hampshire voters are interested in learning more about Joe Biden, specifically about why the Obama campaign won't release Biden's earmark requests and why Biden believes that it is ‘patriotic' to pay more in taxes."

Biden is in the state today campaigning in Rochester and Manchester.

Kinda Lame

When the RNC e-mails the worn out attack lines over to Mr. Cullen, shouldn't he try to spiff them up a bit? Maybe, just a little? Talk about flat. He hasn’t yet sunk to talking about “hair plugs” or branding Biden a “communist.” Some wingnut will carry that water, no doubt.

While those distractions may be as exciting as Duncan Hunter’s endorsement of Joe Kenney, I’m sure most NH voters would rather hear Biden talk about increasing funds for home heating assistance and creating 9,000 new jobs in NH.

Most folks are not interested in “Got’cha Politics.”

If the video from the Rochester event comes up, I'll post it below. I'll be looking here:

The REAL Issues

posted by Jim Splaine

"Earmarks" are such an irrelevant issue. U. S. Senators and Congresspeople are representatives sent by the voters of their states to do what will help them, and earmarks are attempts to respond to what their constituents say they need. Not all earmarks are needed, and there is much waste in the way they are given, but many earmarks address transportation, education, and social problems state by state.

What IS important is that we're stuck in a war in Iraq that Republicans put us into. We have an economy in need of reform that Democrats have called for. We need health care. Those are important.

And New Hampshire voters have always respected Joe Biden. I first met him in 1988 and I'm pleased he's going to be our next Vice President.

Yeah Right!

Well if they loved Biden so much, how come he got all of 648 votes in the primary?

And I noticed the number of people at his campaign event was not listed....how many? I'm sure Lawson was there.

Mrs. O only got 1,000 last time she was here.

We'll see how Sarah does on Wednesday.

Face it, most of us will have most of our savings taken away once Obama/Soros gets elected because they will let the big bankers take over for their own brand of socio-fascism.

You'll also be put in jail for criticizing the Messiah. His goon squads will be at the ready to arrest you as they have done in Vermont.

You can no longer challenge vote fraud in NH because the Democrats have passed a law that it's a felony.
However they won't prosecute clear cut cases of fraud.

This is how they will ensure the win. ACORN has been caught in 13 other states and we have the same thing going on here with Democrats for years.

McCain and ACORN

posted by Jack Mitchell

Funny you mentioned ACORN. So did Ben Smith of Politico
The beleaguered Democratic-leaning community group Acorn sends over this photograph: John McCain, in March of 2006, sitting beside Florida Rep. Kendrick Meek at an event Acorn co-sponsored in Florida.

The immigration event, which other photos show was packed with red-shirted Acorn member, was co-sponsored by the local Catholic Archdiocese, the SEIU, and other groups.

McCain, still spiting much of his party on immigration at the time, was the headliner.

That was then and this is now. McCain has flip-flopped in a most dishonorable manner, jumping on the Tancredo, xenophobic bandwagon

"NH" carrying water again? Your rants are so predictable and boring.

McCain

posted by NH

This explains why McCain is not speaking to Obama's racist activities, since he himself has pandered to ACORN and LaRAZA.

McCain has tried to be a nice guy in the past to show friendliness to minority groups, and there is nothing wrong with that, however, I am sure he doesn't approve of the voter fraud nor the overt racism that is promoted by these groups.

You are not telling me anything I don't know already. No one said McCain was the perfect Republican. In many ways he's bad news because he panders to the left because they will try to use that against him.

But God help us all if this Obama creep is crowned. Do you really want Nazi sympathizer George Soros and Terrorist Enabler Z Brzezinski running this country? You will love it apparently when racist Louis Farrakhan is a regular guest in the White House, along with Jeremiah Wright and William Ayers, mad domestic bomber.

Who could ever have thought things could get worse than when Clinton was in there dirtying up the carpets?
