Hillary: “What Difference Does It Make??” Former NH GOP Chair Wayne MacDonald: “What difference does it make?”

January 27, 2013

Actually, in both cases, the answer to both cases is “It DOES make a difference – a tremendous one, in fact.“  And both are in the same area: trust.  Or in fact, creating more a lack of trust than what already exists.  Both questions from the top figures in the organization show a lack of [ Read more ]

Well, what do you know – Andy Martin mentioned us. Is it time to swoon yet?

January 21, 2013

“You are probably wondering why I’m running for [NH GOP] state chairman. I think we could almost adopt the slogan, “Vote for Andy: No One Likes Him!” The party “Establishment” probably shudders at the mention of my name.

Well, IS this how the Old Guard Establishment Republicans wish to operate? Well, so can we!

January 18, 2013

We can play the game of “Sampson brings down the house” (Judges 16) as well as they wish for us to play in their sandbox.  I am on Andrew Hemingway’s email list and while I was working on the post rebutting Bruce Perlo (“Like father, like son?

Where I show that one can break Reagan’s 11th Commandment with impunity

January 11, 2013

Oh sure, folks have castigated the ‘Grok through the years as being “purists” with respect to “who is a good Republican” (and in our case, our “purity” comes merely from two observances: 1) do you vote in line with Constitutional values?, and 2) vote in line with the Party platform values?).  We get accused of [ Read more ]
