Bass, who was defeated for re-election this year, did not release a statement about his decision to co-sponsor the measure known as the Respect for Marriage Act.

[Jim Noble]

When I said renominating Bass in 2010 was a disaster, I took heat. When I predicted his loss to a communist this year, I was called a defeatist. When I said I was glad he lost, some FReepers were mad.

I don't know how many Charlie Bass equivalents there are in the GOP House delegation, but there are a lot. Until they are "outed" (so to speak) and replaced by people who believe what they say and say what they believe, things will never get better.

Charlie Bass shares the same relationship to Republicans that the McRib shares with meat.

Charles wants Gods punishment to America. No thanks Charlie.

[who knows what evil?]

Bass was defeated because the GOP didn't offer a candidate conservatives could vote FOR...

Kuster(D) and Bass(R)...both pro-sodomite, both pro-abortion. Red Hampshire conservatives stayed home.

Red Hampshire conservatives stayed home.

Like that will protect them now.

Let’s go, Jennifer Horn. Pro-Life conservative in NH-2. Bass’ loss is a great opportunity. Bass’ name will be removed from the bills’ co-sponsors on WED when his nameplate is taken down from outside his former office.

do you have data supporting the claim that red New Hampshire stayed home?

[who knows what evil?]

Red Hampshire didn't stay home...vote totals on both sides were up considerably over 2010. Many pro-life conservatives stayed home or skipped the Bass/Kuster race completely...18,000 of them? Got me. (Mind you...I don't consider a 'pro-choice' Republican a conservative, so that colors my opinion.)

Data? Nope...just local 'chit-chat'..people on the ground, local talk radio, and so forth. Since there is 'no firm data'; I guess it didn't happen.

[who knows what evil?]

I would have cast a vote for Jennifer Horn. Bass? Not a chance.

the path is clear for Jennifer_Horn

after 2 tough races, 2008 & 2010 primary, she may not have the appetite for another underdog race.
