“The last gasping breath of a disgraced bipartisan Beltway establishment on the verge of collapse”

Sen. Lee is speaking to you Sen. Ayotte, or as Susan likes to call you, Sen. McWhyNotte. “The bill is a product of an unfair, dysfunctional, and fundamentally undemocratic process, a process that is virtually indistinguishable from what we promised the American people a GOP-controlled Congress would bring to an end. We made that promise, … Read more

Karen Vaughn, the mother of fallen Navy Seal Aaron Vaughn, joins us to discuss Hillary Clinton’s remarks on the VA Scandal, Clinton’s recent walk-back, and what it says about candidate Clinton’s priorities.  

Hillary Clinton Can’t Be President.

A well known French Weatherman, Philippe Verdier, (a person who presents the weather, not a French Bill Ayers) was sacked by leading French news channel France Télévisions after publishing a book that questioned Climate cult dogma.

ACCCE Statement on Senator Kelly Ayotte’s Support for President Obama’s Costly and Illegal Clean Power Plan

Washington, D.C. — American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity Senior Vice President of Communications Laura Sheehan today issued the following statement regarding Senator Kelly Ayotte’s support for President Obama’s costly and illegal carbon regulations.

“As a candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2010, Ayotte opposed cap and trade legislation which was then resoundingly defeated by Congress. Her latest ads now tout her support for the President’s unconstitutional regulation. Senator Ayotte needs to remember that this illegal plan is cap and trade in every way but name only and just as it was bad for New Hampshire before, it is bad for New Hampshire now.”

Which One Never Belonged

This is a tale of two former members of the Republican Party. One was a Republican with conservative principals – the other – not so much.

Which one leaving the party actually matters?

Tom Tancredo was a Congressman from Colorado for ten years and was ahead of the times regarding illegal occupation of America by foreign border jumpers. He has finally stopped trying to defend the indefensible. He is a free man.

Congressman Tom Tancredo has a list of some specific differences with the Republican elites:

“We got condescending lip service, and nothing more.

*Promises have been broken and principles abandoned, while millions of American families watched their dreams slip further and further out of reach.

*Republican congressional leaders maneuvered to deliver votes to fund President Obama’s unconstitutional amnesty order, and more recently, his unprecedented job-killing EPA rules.

But Kelly Ayotte is With Us On Everything Else

The abandonment of first principles by New Hampshire Republicans in congress is a point of contention and it should be. Speaking for myself, and I’d bet most of the writers here at GraniteGrok, we’re about principles before people or party.
