Yeah, this will certainly inspire the base:

Anyone who calls themselves Conservative or Republican, who doesn't vote for the nominee of the party in the general election is neither.

That’s from US Senator John Cornyn – a demand. I’d suggest that you click on over.  I really do wish that Party officials do so and read the responses; pretty much all of them should start to given the GOP great pause and great worry.  For you readers, this will be nothing new as we’ve been saying it for quite some time: EARN our vote, show us that you deserve it – stop taking it for granted.  Stop thinking “well, where else will they go” (er, see after the jump, one more time).  Making a demand for it, or stating over and over that “ANY Republican is better than any Democrat” is no longer making it.  The Internet has made it clear that there are too many Republicans that are shams – and many of us are no longer willing to spend one of the most precious coins of American Citizenship, our priceless vote, on frauds.

Who is a Republican fraud?  Someone who votes equally or more often with Democrats than with Republicans.  Someone who continues the incremental slide to the Left, to Socialism, instead of the original status of maximum Individual Freedom and Limited Government.  Someone who looks at the Constitution and the Platform – and just sniffs and votes away from it.  Like these “Republicans” (the lowest of the House Republican Alliance scores):

According to the data, Brown [Scott Brown, former US Senator from MA, trying to be next one from NH  -Skip] , who took office in February 2010, sided with a Democratic majority on 22 percent of votes in his first year, ranking him seventh among all senators.  The next year, he voted with Democrats 46 percent of the time, trailing only Sen. Susan Collins of Maine. In 2012, he rose to the top of the list, siding with a Democratic majority close to 62 percent of the time, according to the annual report, which was printed in the January 21, 2013 issue of CQ Weekly.

The Senator tries to conflate two things that are not true –

Adding a bit more from Steve’s post on the hysterical OUR State Project Progressives that believe that people who seemingly just want to be left alone by Government are THE existential threat to NH!  Remember, this from people who are out of staters themselves and depend on outside money to attack these people who just want to be left alone.  Is their urge and psychological urge to control and be controlled that bad, that the whole idea of Freedom is repugnant to their very being?  Or that the Free Stater Project folks will totally overturn their narrative that we can only exist by utilizing the heavy hand of Government into every nook and cranny of our lives?   From the Concord Monitor:

Fight against Free Staters:

A curious new account popped up in the world of New Hampshire political Twitter this week: @OurStateProject. The account’s description reads, “Exposing the Freestater threat to New Hampshire politics,” and the URL ourstateproject.com links back to the New Hampshire Democratic Party.  The problem is, no one knows where the account came from, and the Democratic Party says it’s not associated with it. There is a group of Democratic elected officials and politically involved people that has been meeting and calling itself the Our State Project, but they insist they’re not behind the account.

Zandra Rice-Hawkins, executive director of the left-leaning Granite State Progress, confirmed that a “loose-knit” group of people has been meeting at Granite State Progress offices on a monthly basis to discuss strategies for informing communities about

Reagan Democrat….Obama Republican (see after the jump)?

Well, at least he didn’t like about his name (only that he was off it before he was on it – the Scott Brown Campaign staff, that is)!  That would be Jeremy as in Jeremy Baker.  Turns out that commenter Radical Moderate found this wascally wabbit over on WMUR – hiding in plain site as it were.  James Pindell interviewed him back in December because he had created a Draft Scott Brown for US Senate in NH 2014.  I guess that we “could” forgive this recent UNH grad for believing:

“I think Scott Brown would be a great candidate….wanted to start my own little movement and made this blog page”.

Involvement in the College Republicans is fine, but I would have thought he would have delved deeper into Brown’s record before proclaiming on state-wide TV:

“I think he’s a great candidate, he’s done a lot of great stuff in the Senate already.  Umm, I think he’s willing to work with the other aisle, he’s very bipartisan and that something that young people like me especially admire because with all the gridlock that’s been happening.”

Bipartisan, eh?

Remember that no media or recording devices of ANY type were to be in the meeting of GONH when Scott Brown spoke this past Tuesday night.  I observed then:

So  Mitch Kopacz, President of Gun Owners of NH, what’s the deal?  You REALLY think that “Pravda on the Merrimack” (aka, the outpost of the liberal MSM called the Concord Monitor) is as supportive of the Second Amendment as GraniteGrok is?  And THEY, the reporter and photographer, were then allowed to breeze past the hotel manager at the front door and saunter right in?  And we were given the bum’s rush?

So, once again, the Liberal media, Mitch and Scott, were allowed in with a recording device?  How do you two explain this:

Yes, that is the GONH meeting.  yes, that is Scott Brown.  Yes, this is not an artist’s rendition.  It is, however,

Well, it’s Friday and once again WMUR Political Scoop has questions and lots of softballs were served up.  So I have answers…and in a couple of cases, I question the question or perceived observation:

If you watched Marilinda Garcia, the national Latino rising star, on CNN en Español to check out her Spanish speaking skills… well the station uses an interpreter because she speaks in English.

Isn’t it rascist to think that just because someone has a Spanish derived surname that they should be able to

Last night, the Gun Owners of NH (“GONH”) had a meeting at the Holiday Inn in Concord, NH with their keynote speaker being former US Senator Scott Brown (R-MA) who is trying to become the next US Senator from NH.  Their rule, as been pointed out here and here, was that Scott Brown had insisted they they not allow:

• Cameras or other recording devices
• Media / reporters

We went down anyways (for nothing says New Media on the conservative side like GraniteGrok) with camera(s) in hand to see what was to be seen, get some interviews, and generally make an annoyance of our ourselves.  Last night, I am happy to report, we achieved all of those goals!  However, one of the things that most disturbs and annoys US are politicians and their coterie of campaign staffs that act contrary to their own request of others

AND LIE DOING IT!  ON TAPE!

Yup, that’s what they did.  WE can’t video them – but they can video others with impunity?  Er, no, not when we have our own camera ready!
