I for one have had enough of Sen RINO-NH. What will it take to get a great Senator like Sununu to run for RINO's seat in 2010?
- Gary N, Derry NH

Dennis,

Unfortunately, you are correct - there are partisans on both sides of the aisle. I am saddened by the partisanship by both parties.

In fact, I just posted to a news article criticizing Pelosi for her non-partisan approach to the stimulus bill.

I firmly believe that the Dems in power would not be well-served to engage in partisan politics. It will not serve the citizens of the country nor their own seats in the next elections.

I work in Ma. where I pay income tax. I receive no benefit from this as I live in NH. I had to pay out-of state tuition for my children to be enrolled in colleges in Ma. I see this bail-out plan so flawed and ridiculous that it amazes me that anyone with good sense would propose it. The governor of the state I work in wants to give in-state tuition to ilegal aliens. No wonder I have such a negative feeling. I .

I think it makes sense to NOT have individuals and businesses pay social security taxes on wages below $30,000 a year for the next 2 years so they will have more money to spend and be better able to reduce their debts. This would make it easier for many businesses to stay in business and may reduce the numbers of people who are fired. If unemployment significantly increases, many more people will not be paying money into Social Security and Medicare. If unemployment significantly increases, many more people may need food stamps and Medicaid. If unemployment significantly increases, many more homes may be foreclosed.

The social security tax could be placed on all wages a person makes in a year. If this is done, businesses should NOT have to match employee contributions on wages above $100,000 a year.

If the federal government wants to reduce the probability of very high unemployment, it should have businesses stop paying the social security tax. Many businesses may fire fewer people, many small businesses may hire more people, many workers may make more money, and dividends may increase.

I discuss several ways of paying for Social Security and Medicare on my myspace.com website which you may find by typing stremsky on a search engine.

Businesses need capital to stay in business. Businesses need capital to pay their employees.

The federal government and state governments should immediately stop taxing interest from savings accounts, dividends, capital gains, and estates. Businesses may have an easier time obtaining loans and investments for hiring workers, research and development, and plant and equipment.

It makes more sense for the federal goverment and many state governments to increase many of their sales taxes.

I think New Hampshire should have the rooms and meals tax be 5 percent and allow people to smoke in restaurants to encourage employment in restaurants and hotels. I think it makes sense to reduce our cigarette tax to encourage more people to buy cigarettes and lottery tickets in New Hampshire. New Hampshire's state government and local governments need to make it easier for small businesses to do business in New Hampshire by eliminating regulations that are not necessary, by eliminating laws that are not necessary, and by reducing many fees and paperwork.

Members of Congress should have learned from the savings and loans crisis. Congress should have required down payments on homes and fixed rate mortgages. Allowing mortgage backed securities to be sold based on no money down mortgages was nuts.

I'm glad the minority party in the state has a place to vent, as an independent voter its clear the lack of knowledge of this stimulus package is directly related to your political affiliation. Unfortunately for you guys Obama will be a 2 term President and a very popular one.
- Kevin, Derry NH

During the Primaries between Obama and Clinton the Iraq war was in the forefront of debate. Obama promised for immediate withdrawal regardless of the situation. Both candidates were chanting Bush Lied People Died.

Now its Obama lying and embracing the same failed Bush Iraq policy. Obama lied and more American Soldiers are dying. It is not change, it is more of the same.
- alice, portsmouth

Tom, Dover-Foxcroft, Me. you are correct, an new generation of "flatties" as you call them. College students vote illegally in this state and nothing is done about it. They elected everyone from District one. The northern part of NH has been turned into a welfare state and they are going to vote with their social pprograms too, face it, the secular progressives have built a very solid base of non-producers, more than 50%. Producers loose, free Americans loose. You Obamanationist all sold your souls to the devil. Who is John Galt.
- Allan, Rochester

Sen Gregg,

Add me to the list of votes you won't get.
Follow this path and you'll be out like Sunnunu.
Let this be the Democrats bill - It is WRONG!

"Partisanship needs to stop and the best minds in government need to work together to implement the best solutions"

I like the way you liberals relate to "partisanship". Right, partisanship to conservatives (formally known as the (R) party). After all, Democrats are not partisan at all right?
- Dennis, Merrimack, NH

Wimpy, wimpy, wimpy is there a real Republican left in this state that will stand up for what is right. Dear Judd if you keep this up Govenor Lynch (who is not as wimpy as you) will be the next senator from NH.
- Mike, Auburn

Allan of Rochester, you might want to take a look at the history of the Governors of New Hampshire and see how many of those were natives in the past 50 years or so. It's not just the flatties that are making New Hampshire blue, it's also a new generation.
- Tom, Dover-Foxcroft, Me.

To go along with the birth control in this supposed "economic" stimulas plan, there's also $335 million for STD prevention.

Sounds more like a healthcare plan to me.
- Joe H, Manchester

Dan from Auburn, you were correct in stating that there are more Democrats in NH, now if all the flatlanders would move back south of the border then NH would be far and away a republican state. More importantly we would be a Conservative state again, then we could elect people we wanted into office instead of the flatlanders putting their people in office and turning our state into Northern Mass. Those transplants that come here to live in OUR NH welcome, those coming to change it, stay away. So there may be more democrats in NH but not more NH democrats.
- Allan, Rochester

...The Wall Street Journal has broken down the 'Stimulus' bill. They say that only about 12 cents of every $1 is for something that can plausibly be considered a growth stimulus.

This is nothing more than more gov't spending. With the incredible burden of Social Security and Medicare combined with the incredble federal budget and the increase in spending with this bill, the USA is doomed to bankruptcy.

And yet so many of you are so excited about it.
- John II, Manchester

I was optimistic that some package could make it through both houses with significant support from both sides UNTIL I read many of the posts to Senator Gregg's comments. Focus on the core differences if you must but please refrain from comments that just elicit anger from the "other side of the aisle.

Thank you Senator Gregg for remaining focused on the economy.
- Larry, Goffstown

Oh man, I love the libs who come on here and spout off that Republicans are just mad because they lost. Or that it's the Republican's fault soley for how the country is now.

News flash folks, the real estate market goes up and down regardless.... And as far as spending and all the other problems we have, there were many Democrats who contributed to it. There were many Reps pushing for strict lending but oh my, we can't discriminate. SOrry I don't care where you are from or if you're purple, if you can't afford a house, you can't afford a house. Period. These problems finally hit a breaking point during the last few years but they were born way before G.W so get off your high horse. I know you all like to read in your Tribunes and NYTIMES about how great all your leaders are but you'll never get the truth about what they flubbed up. We actually seek out truth, we don't just believe what the media tells us. I know there are some intelligent ones out there...but from what I've seen, many people that vote democrat don't know what they're even voting for.

I will have no respect for a party who targets the less fortunate and minorities. That's the only reason why Obama won, btw. A bunch of pipe dreams.
- Raquel, Manchester

Kirk asks conservative writers here, "Were you lying then, or are you lying now?" The money for "community development" in Bailout 1, some of which could have been granted to proposals such as ACORN typically writes, attracted so much controversy that it was removed in the second (Senate) attempt. If we are lucky, it will be dropped this time around as well--the Senate has omitted some items, I think including tax-paid contraceptives--no thanks to the starstruck Judd Gregg. No one was lying, so quit calling names.

We don't need jobs, we need people to do useful work. This bill creates government jobs--leaving future budgeteers with the choice of making them permanent or throwing unionized bureaucrats back on the streets. Most of these jobs are in social engineering: Inventing new vehicles, preparing the human herd for Soviet medical care, and registering Mickey Mouse to vote. Like Bush's "stimulus" programs, the Obama program hopes for wheels to start spinning (for a fleet of staff cars to be bought with play money) as proof that we are going really fast.
- Spike, Brentwood NH

This package is full of pork.

I fear that if this passes and we owe even more money to everyone else (btw, much of this money won't be spent until 2011 anyway..right before Obama's chance for re-election. Mark my words), we'll be worse off than we were to begin with.
- Leslie, Derry

So where is this money coming from again>?

More from China? I mean, we're already trillions and kajillion dollars in debt to them...what's another 820 billion anyway...

Government spending is not going to stimulate this economy..especially when in this package there are so many things thrown in there that are solely left agenda and won't benefit anyone but the big lefties in charge.

Gregg...you've got to be kidding me...
- Ann, Derry

Give all the big bucks you want to the big businesses. Why will they hire more workers and produce more products if the guy on the street has no maney to buy them? The money needs to go into the pockets of consumers so they will stimulate demand and thereby encourage businesses to produce. Until the consumer starts spending this economy isn't going anywhere. Someone should let the omnipotent community organizer know that.
- Brian, Farmington

Mike (Auburn),

You state '...there are more Republicans in NH than democrats (sic) it is just that some of them were stupid enough to vote for Obama".

I think that you will be sad to learn that NH has more registered Democrats that Republicans for the first time in history.

Whether a vote for Obama was stupid or not, only time will tell.
- Dan, Auburn

Chris King,

Instead of criticizing Gregg for trying to work with the administation and leadership, perhaps you should congratulate him for keeping an open mind. Perhaps he has looked past the letter next to the names of those in charge (D) and is actually assessing potential leglslation on its merits. In fact, Gregg probably is smart enough to realize that he can help to create the best bill by working with the leadership instead of standing in rigid opposition to it.

Furthermore, I am sure that you would be the first to criticize the Dems for voting solely on party lines, so cut Gregg some slack for not doing so.

Partisanship needs to stop and the best minds in government need to work together to implement the best solutions.
- Dan, Auburn

There is nothing wrong with having a "minority" opinion. As a matter of fact Mr Barack Obama took a minority opinion in 2002 on whether we should go to Iraq. He made a public statement opposing military action. Hillary Clinton lost in the Dem Primary in large part because she went along to get along in voting for the Iraq War Resolution which was very popular at the time. So if it good enough for Barack Obama to take a stand against something he doesn't believe in why isn't good for Judd Gregg or any other Republican or poster on this site to have concerns about the trillion dollar spending package. A package that takes us to the International Credit markets begging for money.
- Chris, Merrimack

JC - your "moderates" had their way already with the $700 billion in TARP money. How's that working out?

Paula - you frightened me. You wrote "...the first Obama term..." implying there might be a second!
- Tom, Campton

Hey didn't you rightwingers float the "money for ACORN" thing during the election, and it turned out to be a lie? Were you lying then, or are you lying now?

And the 600 million to buy cars, that's to stimulate the auto industry. It's a good idea. Ask anyone in Manchester who works for a company making parts for them. Like Gregg said, there are lots of good ideas in the package. Given the massive failure of Republicanism we are all now witnessing, I say it's time to try the ideas of anyone but them.
- Kirk, Raymond

Fortunately (as the election showed) the UL tag team represents a minority opinion. Let's face it; you loved the "Fir me or agin' me" posturing of Bush, not because it was successful by any stretch of the imagination, but because he wasn't taking any crap. Seems like the sole criteria for many. With problems this deep a collaborative solution is required, with our best minds working together. Polarizing partisans on either side are not going to get this done, it is time for moderates like Collins, Snowe, and now Gregg to take the lead.
- JC, Newfields

This should be renamed "payback pork spending bill" $650 million to double the fleet of vehicles the Government owns (probably because they plan on doubling the size of government) $50 million for the "arts" (yah, this will create jobs), 4.1 BILLION to Acorn (you know, they are the ones that registered dead people to vote, and are currently being prosecuted in several states for voter registration FRAUD), $300 million for "family planning" (read we pay for the abortions), and the list of paybacks goes on.

Republicans should vote against this bill, and expose ALL the spending that does not create jobs LINE by LINE, and expose the Democrat that put these spending lines in the Bill. If any Republican signs on to this bill, they are done....and we as a nation will be slaves to our government more than we are already as we will not have a choice when it comes to voting for anybody because they will be the same.

Revolution should be near, but they have us beaten down to just acceptence of government waste and corruption and spending.

Senator Gregg, vote AGAINST this second ponzi scheme.
- Mike K., Raymond

The more I read regarding Judd Gregg, the more he scares me. We are aching for a real conservative to step forward and do the right thing for America. Gregg is not that person.

This package is too big. Only 3% will be used the first year and I understand that 60% will be used after the first term of Obama. How is that a stimulas package?
- Paula, Bedfor

It's official Senator Judd Gregg is Susan Collins with pants. I would rather vote for John Lynch for the senate them see my own party disembowel itself.
- Shannon, New London

This is very disappointing, I am not interested in presentational skills but spending CUTS! How can this country possibly grow its way out of all this debt when jobs are fleeing and demographics are shrinking to support the retiree base. The fear of double digit interest rates is becoming a reality down the road. The legacy of FDR was dependancy on government and these fools are making that look mild.
- Mike, Raymond

How on earth can we have faith in anything they say when Sen Gregg and Sen Shaheen supported a tax cheat as head of the Treasury Dept/IRS? My gosh, this country is screwed up.

Just cut taxes and federal government spending 10%, and go home.

I will not be voting for Senator Gregg again. Maybe its time he found a job in the private sector and actually try to create some jobs other than just hiring governmental and campaign staff all these years.
- Jim, Manchester

The only thing left for Gregg to do is to change party affiliation. What a disaster this guy is!
- Dennis, Merrimack, NH

"The problem is the inability of the real estate market to set a value on a home..." Judd "The ALL Knowing" Gregg

I am speachless. Judd, you just sealed your fate. Just because you and the rest of the political class won't accept the fair market value of real estate assets doesn't mean the market can't set the price.

Why stop at $825 billion Judd? Why not go for $10 trillion? I am sure Acorn could use $100 billion not just $5 billion earmarked to them in this "Stimulus Package". I am sure Robert Reich can dictate where this money should go better than the free markets.

Judd, your political career is essentially over. Start working on your resume because your base just dissolved. For anyone out there who believes we have a two party system, wake up and smell the roses.

When the government looses its triple A rating, expect interest rates to be in double digits, expect inflation to EXCEED the 1970's, expect the markets to continue to drop and distort, expect more dependence, $150/barrel of oil will look cheap, and expect that your social security benefit to afford you the ability to chose from Kibble and Bits or Purina.

The idea of taking money from productive means to redistribute to unproductive means has been completely debunked historically, and yet our leaders continue to lead us over the cliff. History proves that a Fiat currency has a 100% failure rate. We need to change the name of our country to the Banana Republic of the United States.
- Kyle, Bedford

It's very amusing to see Sen. Gregg being attacked by members of his own party. Wake up, NH Republicans! You lost because the policies advocated by those in your party, President Bush, Sen. Sununu, etc., didn't work! Things have changed. Keep pushing Sen. Gregg to stay with the failed policies you advocate. It will ensure his defeat in the upcoming election.
- ed, londonderry

Tom-Campton

I agree with you. We need a true Conservative to run in the primary. Regardless if Gregg's an incumbent.
- Joe H., Manchester

I use to feel bad for the next generation because of the debt they've been given. Well, after the next generation turned out and voted for officials who will print out trillions more, all I can say is have fun in the dark future you've signed up for. It's apparently the American way to borrow and spend, never mind where the money will eventually come from.
- Larry, Manchester

If people search for different sources, facts and views on this so called stimulus package they will learn it is loaded with pork. One of them being millions of dollars put aside for groups like ACORN to get tax payer money even though they are under investigation for voter fraud, and in my opinion such groups help turn our election process in a joke.

As others here are saying I will not be voting for Mr. Gregg come next election but will look for a real honest republican to represent me even though I have to compete with groups Like ACORN who support voter bias with my tax dollars. If I want bigger government, taxes, and waste I don’t need to vote republican there is another party that takes care of that goal.
- Ross, Derry

Sen. Gregg - what are you thinking? Some comments:

"The President's presentation was exceptional. It was an extremely comprehensive explanation of how he saw the problems and how he intends to address them." --- perhaps Obama can share this with the public, for up to this point he has pushed his "stimulus" with nothing but fear. If indeed Obama does have a strategy he is reticent to share with the American people, he is even more contemptuous of them than I thought.

"Three-legged stool"? You mean there are going to be two more of these pigs?

"The problem is foreclosure. The problem is the inability of the real estate market to set a value on a home, and the home is the main asset of most Americans". Actually, the problem is that the government distorted home values for a while, and now the market is correcting the problem. There is no government solution for this. Attempting to re-inflate a burst bubble is doomed to fail.

Sen. Gregg continues to disappoint. He win re-election in 2010, but it won't be with my support. I urge a conservative candidate to come forward in the primary.
- Tom, Campton

The responses here are typically UL-pathetic. Bitter partisanship has been the M.O. for the last 8 years and look where it got us. This article shows a Senator who's willing to listen to all arguments and make up his own mind instead of cowtowing to the national party or Limbaugh/Hannity idiots. That to me is a person who is interested in representing the people instead of the party - we need more of them in Washington.

I hope Sen. Gregg continues to vote with his intelligence and not his party's ideology.
- Jason, Londonderry

Sen. Gregg:

The bailout is is going to be the biggest financial disaster in the history of the country.

NO Republican should vote for it. The community-organizer-in-chief is trying to attach YOU to it so that Republicans will share the blame.

Back off.

Let the Democrats own it.
- Bill Howard, Exeter

PS--Dr. Walter Williams has a column out today breaking down with his usual wisdom how any of the new "stimulus" spending must necessarily take the place of spending we would have done for ourselves. It doesn't create new economic activity but just moves it to Washington. I hope you see fit to run his column here.
- Spike, Brentwood NH

Mr Gregg. I will not be voting for you in the next election. Please note Republicans are losing elections because their base is not turning out, not because they need to make a left turn. Appeasement is not the answer.
- JAY TIFFANY, WARNER

Senator Judas Gregg is now ,hat he has always been in office, a collosal whimp, voing for his personal benefit and welfare of the moneyed like he is. The knucklehead recently approved an admitted tax evader to be Secretary of the Treasury, now we have this tax cheat supervising the IRS. Geithner is big bucks and so is Gregg which lends credence to the old saying, "Birds of a feather flock together" and they leave their dropping all over us who would have to go to jail if we cheated on our taxes. I don't usually wish the Democrats good luck but I hope that in his next election that they boot him so far out in the Atlantic he will have to swim for two hours back to his home in Rye. What a useless Senator he has been to NH
- Richard L. Fortin, Manchester

Obama is extremely popular and Gregg is running for reelection - connect the dots. Watch for more examples of the 'new voter friendly' Judd Gregg. The voters will not be fooled this time, Senator Gregg.
- Bill Siroty, Amherst

How can millions for the National Endowment of the Art, ACORN, the national mall, a section to do illegal immigration and another about funds going to Illinois only if Blago is impeached have anything to do with a stimulus packcage. What happened to the no earmarks or pork promise?
- jim shuff, freedom

Stealing more of our children's money (its comign from debt) to try and "rescue" an economy that has always and will recover on its own. We do not need more debt! The DEBT is what is killing us.
Gregg, you better not run when your term is due because I will vote against you.
- JD, Nashua

Senator Gregg, Are you a student of history? If you were, you would notice that these types of economic "stimulous" plans do not work, they actually make matters worse. You don't even need to be a history buff to understand this. What happens to the stock market every time there is news of the "stimulous?" It goes up with much conviction or support, then crashes. Overall the markets are way down since the first mention of "stimulous." Please pay attention, close attention. You are all playing with fire. This "stimulous" is nothing more than liberal dogma desquised in sheep's clothing. The primary objective all along has been to control the citizens and make them all dependant on government. If it wasn't so scary, it would be disgusting.
- Doug, Dover

This is just great. He still wants to spend like a drunken sailor, like the rest of congress. As one poster has already indicated, he'll be lucky to get the nod in the primary in 2 years!

This stimulus package is nothing but more pork and waste. These clowns and the head clown President are unbelievable. What ever happened to taking care of the needs of the citizens when it came to saving money? Oooops, that's right, the lobbyists give them more cash.
- Pete, Swanzey

When is Gregg going to switch parties. It would make perfect sense for him. Just call Ray Buckley and tell him you would like to make the switch and you can save what's most important to you. your Senate Seat which is owned by the people. I will be voting Libertarian for Senate in 2010.
- Chris, Merrimack

Mike,

I love the liberals giving Republicans advice. Move to the middle, go along to get along. That worked well for John Sununu and John McCain, didn't it?
- Paul, Litchfield, NH

Judd Gregg is becoming one of the very best Independents in the Senate. I've never voted for him before, but I sure am considering voting for him now.

He's been making the Independents in New Hampshire proud.
- Bob Jean, Northwood, NH

"The problem is foreclosure. The problem is the inability of the real estate market to set a value on a home, and the home is the main asset of most Americans,"....Inability of the R.E. market to set a value on a home.....Hello ? Earth to Judd ? The R.E. 'market' has been setting prices on homes of Willing buyers and Willing sellers for years now....I didn't here Sen JG complaining on the upside. Houses are still overvalued by 10-20% and will still decline in value. We should all be very nervous when our Govt is describing the markets as the problem(s).
- Ryan K., Bedford, NH

No, Judd, the problem is not "the inability of the market to set a value on a home"; the market has set a value, but it is not what homeowners would prefer it to be. And there is absolutely no federal authority to change house prices to favor owners over buyers, or in general to pick winners and losers in the market. The other political payoffs in the bill, such as new funding for the ACORN vote-fraud foundry, are defended only by believing that any government spending is healthy because it pushes (newly manufactured) dollars out into the economy. We need a senator who can see through this rather than bask in the glow of Obama's ascension.

Mike Lane warns Judd to stay in the center, but Mike Lane will of course not vote for Judd. Neutering and neutralizing him softens him up for defeat. I will never vote for this RINO either, and the fact that he will be at the top of the Republican ticket in 2010, unless someone does something, means this will be 2006/2008 all over again for the exact same reason.
- Spike, Brentwood NH

Don't worry about him becoming a RINO he already has been one for a few years. Remember he was one of the early pushers of the amnesty bill. I can't wait for the primary to boot his butt out of Washington.

Does he think we are stupid and havn't figured out that he has been bought and paid for? What a disgrace to the party and the state.

Nobody I know of thinks spending trillions of dollars to get out of a slump is a smart thing. Just look how well Gregg's help for the banks has worked.

Look at the $700billion he already pushed for the banks. That helped a bunch didn't it?

Washington (congress) is sacking the national treasure for the betterment of themselves and their friends and Gregg is part of it.
- Brian Robinson, Laconia

It appears that all of our elected representatives are in the "feel good" mode. Why not? They just voted a hefty pay raise for themselves. I hust sent the following email to Congressman Hodes;

Dear Honorable Hodes,

It is beyond my comprehension that congress voted AGAIN to give themselves a substantial pay raise when the citizens you represent struggle. My SSI was increased by 5.8% and that increase does not even cover one tenth of home heating oil price increases.

Why does not Congress set an example and freeze pay raises until the financial crisis is taken care of.

George Washington, Lincoln, and our forefathers are turning over in their graves!
- Richard Olson, Jaffrey

To Mike Lane, Manchester there are more Republicans than democrats in NH it is just that some of them were stupid enough to vote for obama.

Mr Gregg step lightly or it will be former senator Greg. obama was elected because he was not a republican. Mr Gregg you are a republican, act like one. Be conservative and expect people to earn their money, do not become a socialist like obama.
- Mike, Hooksett

Hey Judd - remember you are a REPUBLICAN. I know you are worried about your re-election, If you keep talking and acting like an Obama-ite you might find it a problem to win the REPBLICAN primary here back home. Do not turn your self into just another NH RINO
- Doug Glenn, Londonderry

Chris King is right on - - we certainly won't be backing (with votes or dollars) yet another RINO. We are far less interested in 'getting along' than in getting it right. And Obama's socialist policies are far too left for America - - at least the America that used to be Number One.
- PJ, Washington

Chris I think your analysis is flawed. Republican voters may be his largest constituency, but he can't win without Independents. Unless I am mistaken, there are more registered Democrats than Republicans in New Hampshire so, by the numbers, Gregg loses unless he has support beyond his base. To think he is going to ride to victory on the backs of Republicans would be foolhardy.

Gregg is going to tack towards the center, he doesn't have much choice if he wants to survive, especially in light tepid support he enjoys from his own party.
- Mike Lane, Manchester

We never learn, do we?
Government got us into this mess, and we expect government to fix the problem? Government will muck it all up, and we'll be no better off down the road than we are now.
All this money being thrown at the problem, but no mention of accountability, is there?
Does anyone know where the line starts to get some of this bailout money?
- Guy Plante, Manchester

Watch it Gregg. I know that you are trying to tread lightly with NH after it went for Obama and you are trying to appeal to Obama's good graces or something, but you had better realize that in the end, it will be REPUBLICANS who will be your major voting block, so don't tick us off too much.

And really, I don't think it matters how much you help Obama. The Democrats in NH and nationally have set their sights on your seat and will go after you full steam ahead. The same people who's favor you are trying to win will be cutting your throat in two years.
- Chris King, Manchester, New Hampshire
