It must be really odd to be Charlie Bass these days. He (wisely, imho) sits out a cycle, only to return and discover his party has marched hard to the right, and increasingly out of reach from a district such as the one he used to serve.
I mean, can you imagine the BassMaster in a NH-02 primary debate with Jennifer Horn, who twitter-cheers governors that keep help out of the hands of the unemployed during a severe economic crisis?
Or Milford's Len Mannino, who has announced an interest in the race? On his blog he talks about how we Democrats "screw" hard working Americans. Or consider this grandiose UL article comment:
But, a greater concern remains; it is the sudden and unwarranted change in our country's direction. When Obama signs the bogus stimulus package into law, the Democrat Party will have transitioned America from a system of capitalism to a socialist economy; it will be the first time in our nation's history that our White House is controlled by an old European style socialist leaning regime. The rejection of capitalism and the embrace of an old world system of governing is the greatest and most important story of our time, yet it has failed to receive any significant mention in the large media outlets. Let's be clear, this is not politics as usual; this is a fundamental change of government that increases the role and strength of government in nearly every facet of our lives. Never before has our domestic liberty been in greater peril than it is now as Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid cultivate the seeds of socialism in our country where just several months ago capitalism flourished.
That's a trip to the outer limits of entertainer Glenn Beckia, with a side order of Rushbo. That's not even in the same solar system as Keene or Hanover or Concord or Berlin. And that certainly 'aint from the tenor and era of Perkins - or even Charlie - Bass.
