No one should take anything someone like Ray Buckley says in a serious manner.

Huh? Which NH (R) fits that description?

For where I sit, very few of today's Republican's have any values -- most of them are trying too hard to be Obama-lite.

The sooner Republicans or any politicians for that matter takes a look at the US or NH Constitution and follows the values of limited government, individual responsibility and low taxes -- a winning formula will be found.

Well said. The point made by Mike is a bit of a canard. Obama is against gay marriage at the Federal level, yet it's Republicans who are framed as being the party that wants to invade the bed room. Whatever.

The fact is that the Republicans ran the most moderate and liberally beloved candidate in their entire field and he was treated like garbage. It's a fraud to suggest that the issue here is lack of moderate views.

What is a moderate anyway? What we need are principled people. Was Regan a moderate? No he had a vision and principles and he articulated those principles in ways that almost all Americans could appreciate.

I did not know who this guy was until today. Wow. He was even too extreme for Hodes:

"U.S. Rep. Paul Hodes withdrew his support for state Democratic Party chairman candidate Raymond Buckley yesterday after viewing undated footage on the internet in which a visibly younger Buckley uses coarse language and makes sexually explicit comments.
The video was posted to YouTube.com by Joe Kelly Levasseur, a political rival of Buckley's who previously helped publicize allegations that Buckley had possessed child pornography."

Concord Monitor - Hodes drops Buckley

Mr. Buckley:

YouTube - Ray Buckley II

The more this guy is exposed for what he is, the better the Republicans' chances in 2010...

I remember when this was in the news and the dems still elected Buckley as the head of the party.

Right on target, yyz!

Psychopaths almost always angrily accuse others of what they so enjoy doing themselves.

That was the characteristic that made WJC so transparent. Everything he accused others of doing, was what he and his DW did, in spades.
