There’s a big shindig coming up at the Tuscan Kitchen in Salem this Monday.

Being RINO country, it’s no surprise that “Papa Smurf” Sununu is holding a Scott Brown event in Salem, with NH Senator Chuck “Live Free with Medicaid”  Morse.

It’s looking like the kick-off for the “Charge of the RINO Brigade” (or “RINOs Gone Wild @#!“) in a place where Brown, with his own kind, feels very, very safe…unlike debates, where actual, real, non-pretend New Hampshire Conservatives are likely to gather (see the “Scott Free” MBA Debate in Merrimack on June 18th here).

Fun Fact: In January, 2012, Senator Scot Brown (R-MA) was the ONLY Republican to join Democrats in voting for President Obama’s Debt Limit hike.

The email for this event says…

According to Senate District 8 Republican candidate Jerry Little’s FEC filings, the majority of his support appears to be from his fellow bankers outside of the Senate district.  While it’s not really surprising since Little was a banking industry lobbyist for years, it shows how little support Little has from the grassroots inside of the district.  You know, those regular every day people who want someone to represent them.  Since Odell ceased representing them with his vote for Obamacare’s Medicaid Expansion (just to name one horrible vote), it’s interesting that Odell is backing yet another candidate who never represented the people and actually lobbied against the people and for the banks.

The killing of coal by the Administration that I wrote about here?  Simply because:

• the GAIA worshipping environmentalist ideology has completely wormed its way into Government to grasp the levers of power.
• Progressives, once again, FORCING the rest of us to live our lives in ways THEY approve of – our opinions don’t matter.

In doing so, they will go well past “fundamentally transform” the United States – they are going to completely move us to a Second World nation.  And for what?

All this for what will amount to 0.018 degrees F by 2100.

Yeah, only a 0.018 difference in the temperature of the Earth.  Anything that is done here in the US will be totally swamped out of focus by both Russia and China (not to mention all the developing nations all aspiring to be First World.

The president and CEO of Simon and Schuster had to have been one of the people who signed off on Hillary Clinton’s fourteen million dollar book deal pay-day; a book that is being summarily trashed; a book tour that is being ridiculed.

But when you’ve got a thing for the candidate….

Carolyn Reidy, former manager at CBS, and current president and CEO of Simon & Schuster, is a Hillary Supporter.  When Mrs. Bill Clinton ran in 2008 Ms. Reidy made at least three donations totaling $2,300.00 dollars to Hillary Clinton for President.  I’m sure as a manager at CBS, a period that has overlapped her leadership at S&S, she provides input on the standard media in-kind contribution to politicians she favors.  Maybe?

Whatever the relationship, Reidy can’t be the only stiff in S&S leadership who has a thing for Hillary. Fourteen Million? They think America likes her that much?

Bubble. Big bubble.

Does it make you uneasy and mad that the rules that are set down for us can be ignored by those that impose them upon us?  Shades of Ian Underwood’s testimony:

The first is that a bill like this undermines respect for the very rule of law itself. After all, if the legislature isn’t going to respect the limits placed on it by the NH Constitution, then why should individuals respect the limits placed on them by that legislature — whether regarding guns, or schools, or traffic laws, or anything else?

Or in this case, the Bureaucracy?  If it cannot obey its authorizing statutes, laws, and regulations, why do we need to follow them?  Otherwise, we are left with “Government by Hypocrisy” – and millions did not sacrifice and die for that.

We got more of that Republican ‘Unity’ the other day. You will recognize it right away. It is the same Republican unity that resulted in a New Hampshire Republican sponsored expansion of ObamaCare in NH. A gas tax. Support for a speech chilling, anti-first amendment bill, an anti-gun rights bill and others.

The unity of which I speak comes from Republican Party Chairman Jennifer Horn.  She showed her true color, Brown, when she publicly tore into Jim Rubens and Bob Smith for not immediately signing a letter of support for whichever of them won the GOP Primary to challenge Democrat Jeanne Shaheen. Horn stated that their refusal suggests they could later choose to support a third party or even Democrat candidate instead of the Republican primary winner.

That’s amusing coming from a state party with a habitual tendency to ignore and even impede the effort of Republican candidates that have not fallen close enough to the NH-GOP ruling class tree.

Why?  When I circulated this around to the other Groksters, Steve immediately replied:

“Guy who barely voted with Republicans 6 out of 10 times supports Scott Brown who voted with Democrats 6 out of 10 times.” 

Indeed!   NH Rep. Rick Ladd, Grafton 4, had an HRA score of 64.2% – FAR less in line with the NH GOP Platform than that “Reagan magic number” of 70-80% “with me” and well within that margin of RINOland.  Consistency and Trust – as a Republican, are you feeling good about being able to Trust his Consistency on his votes to give him yours?  If you are voting for a Republican, is it not a decent expectation for that Republican to support Republican Principles?  Why the reason for the move?

Rep. Rick Ladd, R-Haverhill, said in a statement that he initially supported Rubens’ and is now “disappointed” by Rubens’ initial refusal to pledge to support Brown should Brown win the GOP Senate nomination.

…In a statement from Ladd released by the Brown campaign, Ladd says, “Jim Rubens is a good person and thoughtful candidate. I initially supported Jim’s candidacy, but am disappointed that he has refused to commit to endorsing our eventual nominee for Senate.

Ah!  Another “Republican Republican for the sake of the Party” – a Gene

Bill Maher: “Some people called it a war on coal. I hope it is a war on coal. Is it?”

Gina McCarthy: “That’s exactly what this is.”

For some perspective, a Heritage Foundation analysis of anti-coal policies found that they will destroy more than 500,000 jobs, slash the income of a typical family of four more than $1,400 a year, and increase electricity prices at least 20 percent. Price spikes could be much higher in states that depend heavily on coal-fired power plants, especially in the Midwest. Coal still produces 37% of the nation’s electricity.

All this for what will amount to 0.018 degrees F by 2100.  Trillions spent for a result that can’t be told from “signal noise?”

Ouch!  Scott Brown is taking it in the chops, again, for being “famous for being famous”:

“What Is Scott Brown Really Afraid Of? The Voters Of New Hampshire”

…Scott Brown has been driving his truck all across New Hampshire in an attempt to convince Granite Staters that he is one of us. Telling people that by spending time in New Hampshire as kid or weekends at his vacation home makes him a real Granite Stater.True Granite Staters are just not buying it.

If Brown were a real Granite Stater, he would understand that we are less about grandstanding and photo ops, and more about substance. We want candidates who talk about their positions and are willing to stand up for their beliefs.

…“We went to Stoneham on the day of the Massachusetts election when he ran against Elizabeth Warren and held Scott Brown signs, standing out in the cold for eight hours,” McCray told the Sentinel Enterprise. “He knew that. And yet he didn’t even have the common courtesy to respond to our invitation to a debate in 16 days. That bothered me.”

And this:

Even ultra-right wing conservative blogger, Granite Grok, had some choice words about Brown skipping the debate.
