Carol Shea-Porter co-sponsors a bill to add a public option to the healthcare law

  Last weekend Harry Reid assured liberal voters that a public option would eventually be part of the healthcare reform law, and it didn’t take long for Democrats to begin working on an amendment to the healthcare reform law which will add a public option to the law.

  In the post that I wrote about Harry Reid’s comment, I went into some depth about how the healthcare reform law was designed to ensure that a public option would eventually have to be added to the law, I am not going to repeat myself  in this post because I want to focus on the fact that my congressman– Carol Shea-Porter– is actually a co-sponsor of the bill to add a public option to the healthcare reform law. You can read my previous post about Harry Reid’s comment here.

  I can’t even begin to put into words how upset I am that my congressman not only supports H.B. 5808, but is actually a sponsor of the bill. Democrats were forced to give up the idea of a public option in order to pass healthcare legislation, but now it is back on the table. And I have to look no further than my own backyard to see who is to blame for bringing back the most contentious and controversial part of the original healthcare legislation.

  Liberals never give up even when they lose, and they lost on the issue of including a public option in the healthcare reform legislation, but true to form the liberals have circled the wagons and are now ready to amend a bill that hasn’t even been fully enacted yet.

  Carol Shea-Porter’s poll numbers are tanking and it looks like a very good bet that she could lose her House seat and in the midst of fighting for her political life she decides that she wants to take on this battle right before the election? I say, bring it on! This could be the final nail in her political coffin.

  She has been dodging the voters by holding telephone town hall meetings (when she has even bothered to meet the voters at all) ever since the Summer of discontent that started the Tea Party movement, and she is still hiding from us. She knows that the public option is as unpopular as the healthcare reform bill that she supported– if not more so– yet she is sponsoring this legislation because this is what Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi want her to do. This is why she and her counterpart, Paul Hodes, have been dubbed the Pelosi twins by the New Hampshire Union Leader.

  Carol Shea-Porter went to Washington and promised to represent the voters of New Hampshire, but by voting with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid over 95% of the time she has shown that she represents Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid– not the voters of New Hampshire. It is  time to vote this woman out of office, if you had any doubts about how out of touch with the voters of New Hampshire Carol Shea-Porter is, this should be all that you need to know about her to realize it is time for us to fire her!
