Bye Bye

(Wow - promoted by William Tucker)

Not surprising  at all:
According to the poll, 45 percent of those polled in the 2nd Congressional District have an unfavorable view of Bass, and only 29 percent approve. In February, Bass was viewed favorably by 41 percent of residents and unfavorably by 28 percent.
Of course, we didn't need UNH to tell us this; as Colin notes, this is almost identical to the most recent PPP poll earlier in April (and with a bigger sample, smaller MoE):
34% of voters in Guinta's 1st Congressional District have a favorable opinion of Guinta compared to 41% who have an unfavorable opinion. Bass is even less popular in his 2nd Congressional District, where 31% have a favorable opinion of the Republican lawmaker and 49% have an unfavorable opinion.
Still, flipping upside down in two months is quite an achievement.  Heckuvajob, Charlie. You should vote to abolish Medicare more often.

Wow n/t (4.00 / 3)




"When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on."  Franklin D. Roosevelt    


It's difficult to imagine (4.00 / 3)
how, exactly, Charlie thought he could sell abolishing Medicare in his district. I will admit that I didn't pay as much attention to Bass in the past, but now I live in his district. Those of you who know him well - is he really as dim as he comes across?  

Mostly hapless. n/t (4.00 / 5)


They. Don't. Care.
We do.
Rinse, repeat.


[ Parent ]
Excellent (4.00 / 3)
That's an excellent way to phrase it.  Hapless.  That's Charlie Bass.  Hapless and useless.  During the Bush years, he was a well-inked rubber stamp.

[ Parent ]
Spineless. Coreless. Hopeless. Useless. (4.00 / 2)
Anything but selfless.

[ Parent ]
"They" Hang Around Each Other (4.00 / 3)
When you pal around with corporate interests and stockbrokers and the wealthy and well-to-do who could care less about Medicare and health care for the masses, you come to believe just what they believe.  

The same thing happens with some of those at the State House.  They feed off each other.  

In 2nd CD, Ann Kuster's time has come.  


[ Parent ]
The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act (0.00 / 0)
How did Charlie and Frankie vote on this further attack on women?

do you even need to ask? (4.00 / 1)
They both voted for it, of course.  

[ Parent ]
Frank Guinta believes in forced (0.00 / 0)
births, even when the woman has been raped.

[ Parent ]
Here's the answer. (4.00 / 1)
New Hampshire
Aye NH-1 Guinta, Frank [R]
Aye NH-2 Bass, Charles [R]
