To see the "Tell It Like It Is" show that Carol Shea-Porter wanted squashed, here's the direct link: http://youtu.be/5lY-QYVepOc

Kathy Benuck went to all the right-wing sites and got false information and repeated it in her mindless interview. She should have conducted an informative interview on current issues, instead of repeating irrelevant old lies. Her viewers will recognize these phony stories that have been debunked as phony years ago, and wonder why she didn't accept the offer to clean up her work, correct the internet lies, and do a real interview. Interesting how she is pretending someone wants to "censor" her bad work. When I was in school, it was called a second chance to get the facts right and correct your work. Shame on Ms. Benuck!

Since Ms. Benuck won't correct the facts, I will.

Politifact.com rates the 3.8% real estate tax a "pants-on-fire" lie.

Also the realtors are trying to debunk the lie too. See FactCheck.org, Realtors, the 3.8% ‘Sales Tax’ and $247 Medicare Premiums (April 30, 2012 , Updated on July 11, 2012):
Q: Is the National Association of Realtors lobbying to repeal a 3.8 percent “sales tax” on homes before it takes effect in 2013?
A: No. There’s no such “sales tax” in the new health care law. And Medicare premiums aren’t going to $247 either. But these virulent falsehoods keep going around.

Washington Post, "Health-care law’s 3.8 percent surtax will not affect many home sellers," http://www.washingtonpost.com/realestate/health-care-laws-38-percent-surtax-will-not-affect-many-home-sellers/2012/07/12/gJQATidFgW_story.html

And as for the alleged vote to impeach George Bush, Ms. Benuck merely displays her ignorance of parliamentary procedure. That was a vote to send the bill back to committee and to kill it.

I am finding Ms. Mayer's comments to be absolutely hilarious as she tries so hard to spin this story. And I wonder why she never identifies herself in her comments on any site as the Politics and Policy Analyst for the Carol Shea-Porter campaign. Disingenuous, to say the least.

Hey Susan, stop the spin. Kathy didn't say it was a real estate tax. She correctly stated that it was a tax on unearned income. She only used the sale of the house as an example. And, depending upon how much additional unearned income that individual had, Kathy was not wrong. You Dems even spin the fact-checks.

CSP says that she didn't vote with the Dems all the time. Yes, she didn't vote with them 100% of the time, but she did vote with Pelosi 93% of the time. And most of the rest of the 7% of the time she voted against the Dems, it was because it was politically expedient and she knew the bill would pass without her vote.

I just watched this show and don't see where the problem is. Shea-Porter was polite, professional and clear in explaining her positions. The hostess was confused about the real estate tax (I actually had to look it up to understand it myself) but that's because it applies to the income of really rich people and unfortunately, most of us don't make that kind of money. I think more people will want to vote for Shea-Porter after watching this show.

Everybody would hide from CSP's record of failure.

No death panels with Romney/Ryan.

We all know that Carol had a four year run at the District One house seat and her voting record is a matter of public record. Now is the time for her to stand line item by line item on HER voting record as well as for Frank to be willing to stand line item by line item on HIS voting record these past two years to the voters and the people of NH who sent each of them there for their respective terms of office. Seeing that apparently Carol voted with Nancy Pelosi 93% of the time and Nancy Pelois publicly stated that we needed to pass Obamacare so we can find out what is in the bill in MY personal opinion does not speak well of Carol. Not once during the period of debate did I ever see Carol come out in the media with any quantitative points of this bill that were going to be good for NH in the long run.....I find it absolutely absurd that each and everyone of the representatives and senators could read through 2700+ pages of any bill in such a short period of time and end up being a know all expert on any such bill.......I am of the mindset that 2700+ pages of such complex reading would be more than the average college student would be expected to consume and understand in even one college semester on any subject or group of subjects as complicated as Obamacare!

The only thing I remember about CSP is when she was dragged out of the Pease terminal building by the Police, for harassing a politician.

Wayne, I try to see how they vote on issues and what bills they sponsor. If you just pay attention to the sensationalism (which is way overdone, just as this story has been overexaggerated), you won't be an intelligent voter.

Kudos Kathy on advancing your right-wing, conservative, Republican agenda. Mr. Guinta will be proud. Please check your facts before airing and distorting them: there was no vote to impeach Mr. Bush in 2008; maybe that was wishful thinking.

Like Todd Akin and Paul Ryan, Frank Guinta thinks women have no right to make decisions about their own bodies and their own health. No only did he vote to end social security as we know it and try to turn Medicare into a voucher program; Guinta voted with his GOP pals to ban some forms of contraception and access to abortions for rape and incest victims. He has breathtaking contempt for women and their needs. No wonder he has fallen behind in all the polls. On election day women will remember and send him back home to Manchester.

It's really pathetic to see the liberals on here trying to spin things their way with distortions, half truths, misinformation and outright lies. Anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of political affairs can see right through them.

From the New Hampshire Journal:

"Two officers of the Portsmouth, New Hampshire Police Department removed Carol Shea-Porter and Susan Mayer from a February 2005 town hall event hosted by then-President George W. Bush at the request of the owner of the property, a spokesman for the Police Department tells NowHampshire.com."

She voted for one of the most horrible bills ever produced, The Affordable Health Care Bill. I hope most people know this side of her.

How many town halls has Frank Guinta held since took office in Washington on January 3, 2012? Ten? Five? None? You can always tell a politician's true nature by what they criticize the other side for. How accessible is Gunita? He cancelled an ice cream social (and forgot to tell Tim Pawlenty!) because he was afraid of being photographed with protesters in the background. Good old Gutless Guinta.

I just watched the interview and sorry, Team Guinta, I fail to see where Carol Shea-Porter is hiding from anything she has said or done. It is refreshing to hear a politician stand by her record and to explain her positions with honesty and clarity. It will be interesting to see the sequel.

Actually, petitegirl, if you knew anything about economics that a national healthcare system (which is NOT what Obamacare is; it is a rather conservative health insurance scheme modeled after a plan by the Cato Institute, a rightwing libertarian think tank) provides a subsidy to businesses that boosts their international competitiveness and creates more jobs. It was either the Clinton Administration of George W. Bush that threatened to sue Canada before GATT on the grounds that its national healthcare system (called Medicare, btw, and founded by Keifer Sutherland's grandfather) was an illegal trade subsidy.

Obamacare is actually less onerous than Romneycare -- remember that issue the Republican presidential candidates were excoriating Mitt over a few months ago? Since the prudent Roberts decision upheld Obamacare but struck down provisions that would have coerced states to participate, you have, in essence, Mitt Romney's stated position on the campaign trail, forthwith, that Romneycare was right for Massachusetts but other states should be free to have their own solutions. That Mitt wold then denounced the Roberts decision is inexplicable unless you realize he would say or do anything to be president.

Romneycare is more onerous than Obamacare as it imposes actual fines on non-users whereas Obamacare does not.
