Bill Den is fooling no one but himself if he believes that Washington is not over run by lying lobbyists.

"Be more specific", he asks about lobbyists in Washington. Really? No lying lobbyists in Washington?

What a joke you are Bill Den.

Brainwashed is more like it.
Here you go fool, find a lobbyist is easy, you can't swing a dead cat in D.C. without hitting a lying lobbyist. Find one for yourself online.

John B. Mendolusky would be more believable had his letter been more specific.

For instance, what "... handful of major corporations were able to spend millions of dollars on media ads misrepresenting facts and blatantly lying about what would comprise any national health plan."? How many are there? Are they insurance corporations or some other sector?

How do we know Mendolusky is telling the truth if he doesn't give us that information? Anyone can make up accusations like these if they don’t have to be substantiated.

Then there’s the lying lobbyists skulking around the halls of Congress. The intelligent reader has to ask how Mendolusky knows they were lying and what they were lying about? It doesn’t take a Mensa member to be suspicious about that.

On the other hand, the left-wing hacks and sycophants will accept everything Mendolusky says here. After all, he’s expressing their sentiments.

Compliments such as, “Great letter, John;” “Well said, John,” are fraught with insincerity. For the reasons stated above, it’s a poorly written argument and these left-wingers know that because they’ve excoriated conservative writers for making the same transgressions. People should recognize the hypocrisy of the left.

Dave, you are 1000% right. We need to boot all of our elected officials outof washington and then we can get rid of the special interests until then our elected officials will still continue to work for every special interest/lobbyist and not the people who pasy their salaries. Isn't it nice to know they got a cost of living adjustment but our seniors and disabled who need it the most are not going to receive one. Maybe they shoudl eat cake!!!

Sad...but true. The recent health care debate pitted health care corporate lobbyists against insurance corporate lobbyists. This will continue on all levels until lobbyist are banned from government invlovement, which will never happen until we get legislators that work for the people, not special interests.

Anti-Fed, I have read and re-read your comment, and as heaven is my witness, I could not make sense of anything you wrote. Are you normally this dense when you write comments, or is the denseness your overall pattern?

Here we go again -- log in, and log in, and log in and log in AGAIN! My experience is just like Sajwert's -- and this did not happen with your old format! The problem is clearly with the Disqus change.

Another problem since the Disqus change is that no matter how many times I select to have oldest comments appear first, it keeps on reverting to newest first.

Interesting. It's the big oil companies that are behind the green cap and trade movement... Rockefeller funds the groups that promote this nonsense. Same for health care; Soros money is behind that. It's not about helping people but about managing and controlling people and population reduction ala the global elites, anyone can see that.

Now just who is brainwashed? Enjoy your slavery?

OK, Mr. Kiesow, I just plain give up. I went to Feedback, filled in the question bit, clicked 'continue' and entered my email add and password. It seems that I've been on NT without an email address as it kept telling me that my email address was not recognized.

Thanks for all the try at helping me. If I feel the urge to comment on an article and cannot control it, I will just keep logging in every 30 seconds.

We are aware of what the symptoms of the problem are. As I said without knowing what browser and operating system people are using - we are not going to be able to troubleshoot the problem. The feedback function on the right provides that info automatically for us when you submit a report in it.

thanks

Mr. Kiesow, I tried the feedback and got so confused with it I've decided just to tell you the problem. I think it lies with Disqus and if you have any control or any contact with them (I sure can't find out where I could complain) perhaps you can ask them why I have to keep logging in about every other comment.

Furthermore, what in heck was wrong with the old Disqus format that they changed, or is the NT change in format what has caused it to become this irritating?

I don't like the NT enough to bother with this much longer as a comment writer, but if you can clear this up it would be nice to stay in the loop.

You could try that - but I tested it and I don't think it is the cause of the problem.

Please fill out a report using the feedback tab to the right. That will give us your browser and PC info so we can troubleshoot the problem. I am not having the same issue so it is not possible for me to fix it without having more data on what is causing it.

Thank you

I deleted them. I double deleted them. Staying in the comment section appears to be Disqus' problem, and it sucks big time IMO. And I am getting sick and tired of having to re-log in every time I write a comment within the same period of time although at a different article.

There are no cookies in my browser. Nashua Telegraph has changed its
format altogether and I am not getting anything as I used to get it.

Despite the Telegarph's permutations, and despite my frustration in trying to re-enter a board that seems hell-bent on shutting me out, and despite the fact that I think I already attempted to post my hearty agreement with Mr. Mendolusky, I again wish to express that Mr. Mendolusky's observations just couldn't be more spot-on.

I just hope the Telegraph readership gets to benefit from Mr. Mendolusky's astute comments despite the Telegraph's machinations to shut out participation.
