A Republican State House Candidate has just made the following observation on an activist Republican email list: "There is still a split a mile wide [between us and] the Republicans that support anyone who says they are a Republican."
She’s right. Faux Republicans need to be identified and marginalized so they can’t do any more damage to the Party. If they don’t believe in what the Republican Party stands for (and if you don’t know what it stands for, read the platform), and are allowed the represent themselves as Republicans, they become like termites eating away at our foundation. Those who play politics like it’s a "game" where "the one with the most people who put R’s by their name wins" are foolish indeed, and have brought the GOP (both nationally and in NH) to the sad state it’s in.
That all ends in the primary elections coming up, in the ensuing general election, and finally in the state house election for Speaker of the House. The result will tell whether it’s "the same old GOP," or a new and revitalized political party in New Hampshire with a clear mission of cleaning up the mess bequeathed us by Gov. Lynch, the Democrats, and the Republican Party of the Past (RPP). In other words, if you’re a Republican, you’re either for the RPP or the GOP. Pick your Party
