And he looked so nice, too, bless his heart! Yes, Thad Riley, the failed candidate for NH Governor and current NH GOP E-Board member (Assistant Secretary), has accomplished a feat unlike all the other members – he got a Democrat, elected over the Republican.
Melissa Litchfield, for the Brentwood Selectboard.
- Paul Kleinman 501
- Melissa Litchfield 431
So the operative question is “How many Republican votes did Thad Riley swing to the Democrat Party? I’m betting that he’ll never tell but I’m also betting that he’s quite pleased with himself for doing so.
And the other operative question is how many of the NH GOP Executive Board members will either pull him aside or openly rebuke him for doing so? After all, it’s not like the NH GOP needs yet another black eye, but here it is. He may not care about his reputation but he is certainly tarnishing theirs, right?
It’s one thing if an individual Republican does a “cross-over” on their own. However, Riley (and others) were elected to represent Republican ideals and defend the NH GOP Platform as well as its Bylaws – not only in letter but in spirit as well.
Political Discipline…what a concept and it’s clear that Riley has no regard to who brung him to the dance with this stupid move. Is it stupidity, or an overwhelming urge to be liked by everyone, ego, or something else? I’ve know folks like this before and the answer to those questions generally come out eventually “beyond the shadow of the pale”.
Way to go, Thad!
You know Thad, when I dropped this post, I was hoping that you’d man up enough to retract calling us liars (emphasis mine):
“Granite Grok is a group of right wing Liars“.
Methinks that you should as my clock is ticking. I shall repeat: put up or apologize. Show us your proof or we may well be meeting in a room you don’t want to be in.
Mean while, other irregularities in Brentwood appeared. Did you embolden the Brentwood Democrats into thinking other hijinks were permissible since you ended up being an electoral push-over?
Like this sign that the Democrats said could be inside the polling place:

And yes, that is Paul Kleinman, the guy that Thad Riley endorsed over Republican Melissa Litchfield, on the right if you haven’t figured it out (he is holding his sign as well, after all).
And oh, about the Brentwood Supervisor of the Checklist? Remember, it doesn’t matter who votes but who COUNTS the votes…
Oh, and yet ANOTHER well known Republican has done the same thing and I have receipts. Ante up sir – I’ll be looking to receiving YOUR apology as well..
To be continued…
