"Guinta needs to drop disrespectful rhetoric"

Jan. 23 — To the Editor:
After the Tucson incident, many of our leaders called for less acrimonious debate. It was therefore disappointment that I read a Portsmouth Herald guest editorial on Sunday's paper.
U.S. Rep. Frank Guinta, R-N.H., repeatedly cited "Obamacare" as his editorial target. To the credit of Seacoast Media Group, the editor's note referred to it by the proper title: Health Care Reform Act.
I submit the term "Obamacare" was and is a cheap shot at our president, one which was coined in the politically charged environment leading up to the mid-term elections. The strategy was to link anything you didn't like with the declining popularity of the president.
Isn't it time for Guinta and all the rest of the politicians to avoid the innuendos and deal from the top of the deck?
