GrokTV Special Interview: Pam Tucker-RNC Committeewoman Candidate. Question 9 – Will the NH GOP defend Grassroots Ideals?

OK, getting near the end of the questions.  This one was dear to me, coming out of the Conservative grassroots here in NH where many believe that the “Established” (sometimes called “The Five Families” right now) have some lip service but little regard for what “the little people” believe and work for in the trenches.  The common complaint is “Why won’t you stand up for what I believe in?”.  Sure, the Established makes the right syllables vocal during the campaigns, does the requisite backslapping to urge the boots on the ground onward, the election happens, everyone does the “Happy Dance” – and then don’t bother with syllables again.  Bills come up that would implement (or get closer to) what the regular folk worked for, and took arrows for from family, friends, and neighbors – and then watch Republicans take a walk.  Much more in the NH Senate but also happened in the NH House.  So why should the grassroots support the Party as this happens over, and over, and over again?

GrokTV Special Interview: Pam Tucker-RNC Committeewoman Candidate. Question 7 – As RNC Committeewoman, how can you sharpen the diferences between Republican and Democrat positions?

GrokTV Special Interview: Pam Tucker-RNC Committeewoman Candidate. Question 8 – Republicans have said that they have eliminated regulations; got that list?

In addition to seeking to be the next RNC Committeewoman, Pam Tucker has something that her opponent cannot claim to have: experience as the current Deputy Speaker of the NH House where she has been intimately involved with policy and the legislation.  One of the claims this session is that the Republicans have been concentrating on fiscal matters and making NH more biz friendly even as the media is hyping the social issues (to which my retort is “there is ALWAYS a fiscal cost to every social issue!”).  So, I challenged Pam: “show me the list!”

A couple days later, she sent the list – take a look after the jump!

Previous questions:

  • Q1 – Why are you running?
  • Q2 – Why should the ordinary Republican care who their RNC Committeewoman is?
  • Q3 – Is defending the NH GOP platform part of the role of the Committeewoman’s role?
  • Q4 – Why vote for you over your opponent?
  • Q5 –  What part of the NH GOP Platform is in danger and why should people rally around it?
  • Q6 – How verbose will you be in defending Republican ideals as Committeewoman during the election season?
  • Q7 – As RNC Committeewoman, how can you sharpen the diferences between Republican and Democrat positions?

GrokTV Special Interview: Pam Tucker-Candidate RNC Committeewoman Candidate. Q6:How verbose will you be in defending Republican ideals as Committeewoman during the election season?

Given that my opinion is that the current NH GOP Chair is not being all that vocal concerning Republican ideals and stances into the public square, this was a natural question for me to ask – heck, all Republicans ought to be asking their NH GOP organizational “higher ups” (like Chairs, Secretaries, Treasurers, and the … Read more

GrokTV Special Interview: Pam Tucker-Candidate RNC Committeewoman Candidate. Q4 – Why should NH Committee members choose you over your opponent?

Ah yes, the second point – the pitch.  The first point is that every politician has to know why they are running.  The latter can be simple (“somebody asked me to, and I said ‘why not?’”)  involved (i.e., a whole series of either interlocked or random issues that finally, in toto, reached a tipping point), … Read more

GrokTV Event: Cornerstone Action presents Dr. Jennifer Morse on Traditional Marriage for NH Part 1 & 2

This past Monday night, Cornerstone Action held a lecture at St. Anselm College’s Institute of Politics that featured Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse of the Ruth Institute (“Making Marriage Cool”).  The title of her talk was “Making the case for Traditional Marriage for New Hampshire“.  A crowd of about 150 people filled just about every seat in the auditorium and she gave them their money’s worth with a long and idea filled discussion of the benefits to traditional marriage vs homosexual marriage.

This is Part 1 of her talk:

By the way, it seems that GLAAD thinks that she is a VERY dangerous person (among a bunch of other conservative / traditional marriage supporters) and is now trying to shut her down.

Part 2 is after the jump:
