GraniteGrok Endorsement – NH Executive Council District 5: Dave Wheeler

Of all of the incumbents already on the NH Executive Council, we think it is fair to say that Dave Wheeler is the most likely always to stand on Conservative NH values – frugality, individual freedom, pro-life, Second Amendment and an absolute stand on Constitutional grounds (both NH and US).  It is VERY easy for us to have said “Endorse Dave?  That’s not even a question to ask – we are good to go!”.  He will protect our pocketbooks and our freedoms when it comes to contracts and appointments.  Controversial issues, in which many would quietly slink away?  That would not be him – like all warriors, he runs to the good fight and stands up for those that cannot stand for themselves.

SEIU Tells You Which Republicans You Should Avoid…by Endorsing them.

Unions - Proud Owners Of The Democrat Party
Unions - Proud Owners Of The Democrat Party

 The SEIU has just informed Republicans who NOT to vote for.  For this, we are thankful.

The SEIU (SEA-NH), Obama’s shock troops, the same folks who beat up black conservatives ( or refuse to denounce such behavior), have endorsed the following “(r)epublicans” in New Hampshire.

In Belknap District 8, SEA/SEIU has endorsed Rep. Peter Bolster (R), of Alton.  Bolster is train wreck.  He barely votes with his own party half the time.  If you want a Republican you should be voting  for Jane Cormier, to get Bolster out of the House and with any luck, out of our Party.

RLCNH Releases Endorsements & Recommendations for 2012

RLCNH RELEASES SESSION SCORECARD, USES BOLD VOTING RECORD STANDARD TO ENDORSE INCUMBENTS
In Order to Ensure Best Republicans Win Primaries, RLCNH Introduces New ‘Recommended’ Candidate Level

CONCORD, N.H.—With the premiere of its Legislative Scorecard that rates representatives and senators on their faithfulness to conservative values, the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire is setting a new bar for incumbents that will hold them accountable to the only political direction that will ensure liberty and prosperity in New Hampshire.

“The RLCNH intends to drive the agenda for the Republican Party in the coming years, and our new scorecard will be one of the tools that we use for this end,” said Carolyn McKinney, chairman of the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire. “While we still intend to promote the best outcome for Republican primary elections by recommending candidates who perform well on our incumbent scorecard or candidate survey, we will only endorse and actively support candidates who have truly exhibited a strong commitment to the principles that make our state and country great. Our endorsements will be reserved for the best of the best.”

We support liberty-minded Republicans to encourage a more perfect New Hampshire

Now that the filing period for state elected positions has come to a close, the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire (RLCNH) will begin its evaluation of Republicans running for office to determine if they truly understand what it means to support liberty.

Generally, conservative Republicans—those who have a deep commitment to liberty— will support legislation that advances the principles of limited government, individual liberty, personal responsibility and free enterprise, and oppose legislation that violates these standards.

Unfortunately, many Republicans genuinely believe themselves to be “conservative,” but vote against these core principles of liberty when it comes down to the day-to-day job of serving as an elected official. That is precisely why the RLCNH takes so seriously its role of recruiting and supporting Republicans who have a deep understanding of these principles and the fortitude to uphold and defend them.

A liberty-minded Republican is grounded in doing what is right, not what is politically expedient or what has been requested by a lobbyist or an official from another branch of government. The ideal official works for the people by following through on his or her campaign promises and uses his or her judgment to make independent decisions. He or she does not bend to the whim of the media, special interest groups and their e-mail or phone campaigns, or other elected officials.

Most importantly, however, a conservative Republican will always live by the core principle: “first, do no harm.”

Ayotte’s First Big Mistake?

Her endorsement of Willard ‘Mitt’ Romney stands to undo every scrap of goodwill she may have accumulated to this point but should we be surprised?

The Sherm is gone….long live…who? A new endorsement by GraniteGrok!

 Charlie Sherman has been a fixture in NH radio over at WGIR for a number of years (after his famous blowup with WMUR).  He has now departed to be the E.D. at New Horizons; his chair and mic are now sitting in a vacuum.  From NH Journal: Charlie Sherman’s radio show on Manchester’s WGIR was … Read more

Greg Carson For Republican Secretary

Greg Carson has a very impressive resume, one which makes him more than qualified to serve as the Republican Party Secretary. He has already served several years as the assistant secretary, the job I endorsed Pam Manney for yesterday.

Pam Manney For NH GOP Assistant Secretary

I would like to give a personal endorsement for Assistant Secretary for the New Hampshire Republican Party to Pamela Manney. Ive known Pam for several years now, and worked along side her as an activist. She has a level of commitment and dedication to the party and the platform that make her an exceptional asset.

What’s With The intimidation Tactics?

"urmnt urmnt,  urmnmurmt murmnemen".Bill Wynne, a volunteer(?) for the Giuda campaign, made an interesting statement on the NHRVC Facebook page the other day. He’s talking about his favorite candidate knowing full well the NHRVC long ago endorsed Jennifer Horn.

"Hey Kevin, did you see Bob’s 4 30 sec spots I did for the campaign? I posted it to the Grok and they removed it because they do not believe in "freed of speech and expression". I have several vids ready to release about that group, but waiting for the general. They are not registered with the SOS and making endorsements. Not a good position to take. It’s too bad they are so biased. I saw that woman’s video Jennifer something on the 2nd amendment. I wouldn’t have published something of such poor quality not only in sound but video and fuzzy graphics. A real turn off for the viewer and tells what the inside of the campaign may look like putting something like that"

Emphasis mine

This is interesting for reasons you can’t even begin to imagine but first a bit of clarity.  The Grok started a Facebook page not long ago and Bill was one of our first “friends.”  He immediately challenged our judgment in choosing to endorse Horn (which is fine) but then proceeded to pee Giuda propaganda all over our Facebook page like a Bull Dog marking territory.  He essentially took it over for Bob.

Now I like Bob, and Bill, but let’s have some perspective here.  You don’t pirate someone’s fan page for your own purposes like a gay activist takes over Target.  It’s just not good form.  And Bill was still commenting on the page until yesterday after we confronted him about this comment.  He seems to have since taken his toys and gone home.

But we still need to explore this for reasons that I hope will become apparent.

To begin–in no particular order– Bill’s claim that we are biased is accurate only in that we are as much so as he is, accepting the caveat that we didn’t digitally flash mob someone else’s Facebook page to express our opinion—we use or create one of our own.

While that’s not much of an indictment, what follows might be.

In case you missed this endorsement…

In case you missed it earlier this year, Laura Ingraham endorsed Ovide Lamontagne for US Senate from NH, on her nationally syndicated radio show. Pass this on, to those who may never have know that this took place.

Does Palin Still Owe McCain?

I have to wonder if Mrs. Palin Still feels an obligation to John McCain, and if it’s going to be a problem for her conservative supporters in the future.  NRO’s "The Corner" grabbed a message of Sarah’s facebook page in which she endorses Carly Fiorina for the California Republican Primary to challenge Senator Barbara Boxer.  Carly has … Read more

Two Paths: Republicans who sound like Democrats, or ones that actually stand for the Party’s core principles…

   Guest Post by Jennifer Horn  In the special congressional election in New York’s 23rd District, the liberal Republican dropped out last week, leaving the Democrat to face a Conservative Party challenger backed by Sarah Palin and other notable conservatives. It sends a powerful message: Those who believe that 2010 will be a typical mid-term … Read more
