It very slimly passed bill with the New Hampshire Senators again voting in line with hardcore radical conservatives. It so screwy that a working class new england state like New Hampshire is represented by Politicians who would fit in better in mid western states like Nebraska, Kansas or Utah.

Does the Republican Party spend so much money putting these Neo-Cons in power here because of New Hampshires importance in the Presidential Primaries.

Jon - I think you're absolutely right regarding how our representatives are put into office. I mean, I know a good number of Republicans and the majority of them DO NOT buy into a lot of the stuff that the reps in DC buy into. I really think it's because of the belief that where NH goes, so goes the country in regards to the President. It's really frustrating because the Neo Cons in power represent such a small minority of Republican voters.
