Frank Guinta Asks Federal Government to Ignore His Vote
Today, former Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter, who is running for the NH-01 Congressional seat, released the following statement concerning Representative Frank Guinta's letter to House and Senate leadership regarding automatic defense sequestration cuts.
"Congressman Frank Guinta is once again trying to hide his irresponsible record on defense cuts. He first led our country to the brink of default by refusing to raise the debt ceiling until the last second, causing a downgrade in our credit rating and insisting on the tea party Republican provision that there be a super committee that must cut defense and domestic programs if they cannot compromise. Republicans refused to compromise, and now he asks the government to refuse to carry out the blanket defense cuts he voted for. His uncompromising extremism and irresponsible votes hurt defense and national security, and I worry about the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard."

First Skinny Frank votes for the Budget Control act.
Now he wants to weasel out of it by cutting food stamps. There's irony, and then there's a 500 pound Congressman cutting food stamps.

Carol and fellow Democrats held congress and Senate from 2006 to 2010 and the presidency from 2008, Guinta and Republicans took only Congress in 2010 leaving Democrats controlling the other two thirds of the government.
But somehow in Carol's mind the Tea Party Republicans who were sworn into office in Jan 2011 controlling just 1/3 of the government are responsible for the downgrade in August 2011 just 8 months after taking office and the party that controlled Congress and Senate for a full 4 years prior and the presidency on top of it for 2 of those 4 years holds no responsibility.
Is there anyone really taking this woman seriously?
