CSP Had Guinta "on his heels for much of the debate"

by: Dean Barker

Wed Oct 13, 2010 at 05:38:00 AM EDT


All the way from DC, CQ notices the drubbing that Frank Guinta took yesterday at the debate:
For example, when asked by a panelist whether he supported $2 million in federal funding for a local transportation project favored by the business community, Guinta said he was concerned that the proposal might not be effective.

Shea-Porter said she was in favor and noted that Guinta hadn't directly answered the question.

"I support the notion of trying ..." Guinta responded, before being cut off.

"Do you support the project?" she asked again.

"Carol, we have a situation where we have debt and deficit ..."

"Do you support the project?"

"I'm being asked to spend more money without knowing whether it's going to be profitable ..."

"We'll take that as a 'No,'" Shea-Porter snapped as the moderator, positioned between the candidates, looked on.

What, no more grandstanding on the stimulus from Frank?

Carol had her foot (0.00 / 0)
so far up where the sun don't shine, yesterday.  It was awesome.  If people watch these things, it will make a difference.

He's weak and not all that bright.  Not a quick thinker on his feet.

Just for the heck of it, let me repeat. (0.00 / 0)
The alternative to debt is theft.  If somebody's got something you want or need, you either ask if you can trade and promise something in exchange, or you take it by force.

Conservatives are opposed to debt, either because they're crooks or because they're too dense to know what a promise to fulfill an obligation is.

In some cases, there really are only two alternatives.  
Crooked or stupid.  Which is it, Frank?


Might he be both? n/t (0.00 / 0)
