GOPer: NH Selling Children To Gay Couples For $10,000

I love living in NH, but then one my fellow citizens says something as offensive as this and I wonder. The sad part there are far too many of his constituents who are probably cheering his remarks.

So here's the deal with these kids, and my wife works with foster and at risk teenagers, so I've seen this time and again...

If the kid is not adopted by the time they are 5 years old, you can pretty much guarantee that the kid will be stuck in Child Welfare Services until they are 18 moving around to different group/foster homes all of their life, whereupon, if they are REALLY lucky, they will find themselves in a transitional program to help them get a job and go to college. More often the case is that they're then given a pat on the back and wished well in their endeavors.

Stripping out the fact that a permanent adoption home is many-many-fold better than bouncing the kid around to different foster parents and group homes, giving the parents and a child time to form healthy bonds and attachment with the child. Wouldn't the fiscally responsible thing to do be letting these kids be adopted by anyone fit to take care of them?? Children under CWS cost around $4000-6000 per month to the gov't depending on why they are in protective custody (in CA at least). Wouldn't shifting this cost to parents who are willing to provide everything else the child needs be a better choice?

Besides...you'd think that a Republican would be pushing to deregulate the child markets.

This guy just became the new tea-bagger flavor of the day.

It's kind of awkward and incredible at the same time that TPM would make truly crass and tasteless jokes over some idiot's words...

Thanks for your contribution to stereotyping, TPMers! Well done.

"I'm supposed to roll over because, representative, you think it's normal? I'm sorry you got the wrong person."

No, I think all we're asking is that you reach around instead of blowing it.

"So we sold each kid to a homosexual couple that's not married for $10,000"

Seems like a bargain. They should charge more.

And Mr. Baldasaro's response:

"Kiss my ass!"

Poor guy, he thinks he has something to worry about when he bends over... sorry dude, that ass ain't pretty....

"Rep. Baldasaro's remarks have no place in New Hampshire and certainly not from a state elected official. He needs to immediately apologize for his outrageous statement. And his Londonderry colleague House Minority Leader Rep. Sherman Packard, as well as Deputy Minority Leader Rep. David Hess of Hooksett and Republican 16th District Senate candidate Rep. David Boutin of Hooksett should denounce these ridiculously hateful remarks and demand his resignation."

It has recently been determined that "cyber-bullying" is protected by the first amendment. Are not Baldasarro's remarks protected by that same right to free speech? One does not have to agree with him, but we must agree that he has the right to voice his opinion. The problem with the country today is that people are afraid to speak up if they do not agree with the majority because they will be condemned as racist, or right wing or inflammatory.
Why should he have to resign, simply for stating his opinion. If his constituents no longer want him as a representative, they have the option to not re-elect him when his term is up.

Hateful little man please do us all a favor and shut your ignorant mouth. Thank you that will be all. Now go get on the PedoPriest conga line.
