The last of the contested primaries here in NH’s Belknap County is that in NH House District 8: Jane Cormier and Peter Bolster.
Jane is a Conservative firebrand and is working hard to learn what is needed and working hard on her campaign. Our interview series with Jane ended here (see the Previous videos on the post for the earlier questions). She would be a breath of fresh air compared to her opponent.
Speaking of which, Peter Bolster, IMHO, is a Democrat registered as a Republican (and has publicly said as much in the past). We have written extensively on his dismal record as a republican in the NH House votes
(here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here);
it is sad (and maddening) that there are Democrats that are more in line with the Republican Platform than he is. In fact, I had a question to ask at the meeting and I followed the protocol of the meeting and wrote down my question and submitted it (after the jump).
“Independent” voter in the House? really? I will admit, he’s got chutzpah – he can’t possibly run using “Independent” in persuading most Republicans in the know concerning his actual record (which he did not go into). Read that again, look at some of the links, and it is easily seen that he has earned his title: RINO. What else do you call a Republican that consistently votes against the Republican Platform…..oh wait -> Democrat!
The question that Belknap County Republican Committee Chair, Alan Glassman rejected that was meant for Peter Bolster and Jane Cormier (NH House in Belknap 8 – Alton, Barnstead, & Gilmanton):
Does it hurt the Republican “brand”, in your opinion, when there are elected Democrat officials voting more in line with the Republican Platform than elected Republican officials?
Like Alida Milham, formerly a NH House Rep and Belknap County Delegation Chair?
