I touched on this briefly last Saturday on the air with NH House candidate Josh Moore; SEIU backed NH House Republican Kathleen ‘Union Agenda’ Stroud was the ninth “man” on an eight man roster in Merrimack, NH, losing her primary challenge by a mere 24 votes.
I can say I did my part in conversation with a number of locals about the problem Stroud presents and the presence of a good alternative. I don’t think I swung 24, but I moved the needle. (It has been a mission of mine.)
Republicans who support forced unionization are funding the entire Democrat agenda. Union Bosses have spent trillions on Democrats over the years, regardless of what members believe. They are the biggest financiers of Democrat campaigns, and funnel huge sums to the New Hampshire Democrat party and its candidates. They provide unreported in-kind support, rally protesters, get out the vote, and even intimidation of elected officials and private citizens on both sides of the aisle, to protect their special relationship with government. Violence is an option.
It is also important to point out that while Ms. Stroud may not approve of the tactics of those that endorse her, or of the policies she enables, she was a bright spot to union bosses in a house district that rarely elects even one democrat. And she enabled them. She was the Union-boss go-to girl from Merrimack. She made sure they had her vote to advance their agenda, which cannot be separated from the unequaled support they give to the Democrat party agenda.
So I don’t care if you vote the Republican platform 90% of the time. Republicans who deliberately support forced unionization and the funding of union bosses are backing 99% of the modern Democrat party agenda. They are aiding and abetting the union/Democrat machine.
I’ll help anyone who asks me for help to primary that “Republican” out of office but they had best be actively building a bench of potential candidates for just that purpose. (The unions are doing that for the Democrat agenda in both parties, another thing Stroud was helping to support.)
I will also fight for the right to join a union, by they way, but we must also have the right not to join.
Kathleen Stroud did not believe in the right to take a pass on union membership. Stroud did not trust workers, her own constituents, friends, and neighbors, to make the decision the Union Bosses demanded. So Kathleen Stroud was a shill to the Union Bosses. Kathleen Stroud had to go. Kathleen Stroud is gone, at least for the next two years.
And there was much rejoicing.
