Quick Thought – If it wasn’t for double standards, they’d have no…

Well, you know what the rest of that line is, right? I do agree with Jon that money is not the root of the NH GOP problems – but it is rather easy to point to as an overall symptom:

The silver lining is a timetable in which the membership of the Republican State Committee picks a new chairman in late January. Incumbent Wayne MacDonald of Derry took over a party last July that had $650 in the bank, $14,000 in bills and $48,000 in long-term debts.

“This isn’t any one person’s fault, especially Wayne, who was handed a bag of crap at the 11th hour,” posted Jon DiPietro, a conservative activist from Manchester. “But we had better get it fixed. There’s a presidential election in two years and it’s going to be here in the blink of an eye.”

Why, what is the problem here?  His immediate predecessor was Jeanne Forrester – and he was the Vice-Chair so he knew about the problem.  Now, the point of this post is not Wayne.  It IS about

See Who Got Paid to Push Marsy’s Law On New Hampshire

bribeHat tip to Jeff Chidester and Dan Hynes for the link. And we can’t thank Bob Clegg, Susan Olsen, Nicole Fortune and many others for their work in defeating the most recent attempt to push Marsy’s Law on New Hampshire.

But there will be a second effort because the billionaire behind it still has lots of money to spend and thanks to Dan and Jeff and others we can look at who got paid to push Marsy’s law on the Granite State.

Will you be surprised to see who is on the list?

So, Alicia Preston, does this mean that the NH GOP should be FOR Abortion? By your argument, it should be, right?

WeddingRings-GayHillary: “Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will. And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed.”

(H/T:  Progressives and The Proper Role of Government – and your subservience to it).  That WOULD be your argument if you were intellectually and philosophically honest, Ms. Preston.

Well, if JHo said she wanted a “conversation”, well, no, she didn’t – she either wants the NH GOP to cave on the issue or cement the ties in making the UniParty stronger.  Or once again doing her political opportunism schtick.  Or all three.  Regardless of the number, it all adds up to the same thing – you SHALL subsume your own personal beliefs in serving the Party.

Hey, JHo, stop lying – Your “we need a conversation” has been going on since the 60s

Jennifer Horn with Kool-AidYou and Eric Holder (he of the “I believe, continue to be, in too many ways, a nation of cowards” slam against the US) are of the same ilk.  Really, do you really think you own the moral high-horse to be telling the rest of us we have to have a conversation (or else!) like what Hillary said?

And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed.”

Yeah, this coming from a tax cheat – so much for moral high ground (and cheating a small businessman to boot) and who booted others from the NH GOP Committee simply because they stood up to her (so much for THEIR conversations, eh JHo?):

“What unfolded at the convention completely blindsided us,” Horn said. “We were unaware that there was going to be a challenge or there were any concerns.

On another meeting I DIDN’T go to – Kevin Landrigan goes with the “rotten peeps, those GOPers are” with his headline

Kevin LandriganQuick Thought:

NH GOP members exclude delegate from convention, take no action on her pro-gay-rights proposals
By KEVIN LANDRIGAN

Yes, I slap them around when it is needful – but I’ll go the other way when needed as well. The NH GOP did no such thing as exclude a delegate from the NH GOP Convention yesterday. So he is one of two three four things:

  • He’s an outright liar
  • He’s fishing for clickbait
  • He’s wishing to cast aspersions of guilt amongst the Union Leader readership
  • He’s lazy.

Or all four.  He’s been around NH politics a long, LONG time – he knows better than to do this unless he was intent on making trouble where none exists. Yet, he decided to take a fact and make it an unfact: what’s a delegate by the rules?

JHo Plot To Wreck NHGOP Platform Get’s Stuffed

J-Hos rules of disorderLong story short, because you’ll get the long story soon enough, Jennifer Horn is trying to strip traditional marriage out of the Republican state party platform. (Read Carolyn’s brilliant rebuttal to that here.) But someone challenged Jho’s credentials as a delegate.

Kathy Dunton did play-by-play on her facebook page as the events unfolded.

Marriage and the NHGOP

marriage

By Carolyn McKinney – (Reposted)

To advocates for removing “traditional” from marriage in the NHGOP platform.

First, you are guilty of using the most frustrating and pernicious leftist debate tactic.

To try to make your case, you use examples outside the norm – such as families who adopt, grandparents raising their grandchildren, single parents due to the death of a spouse – in an attempt to undermine the norm. It’s no different than those who are pro-abortion trying to undermine opposition to abortion by raising rare cases of rape and incest, or more recently, using the existence of intersex persons to try to undermine natural sex/gender.

Many of us have friends or family whose situation is exactly one of those examples, but their efforts are a compassionate response to a crisis, not something that we should set as a legal standard.

Second, articulating an ideal is not exclusionary.

A Font Deserves More Faith than The Party Platform (among other things)

Jennifer Horn started out as a Tea Party Conservative. Defend the Constitution. Fight the Establishment Ruling Class. No Government Health Care, blah blah blah. That very quickly went by the wayside. Way (way way way way) by the wayside. She’s still faithful to Times Roman 12pt, though. Feel free to take that wherever you like.  

Republicans Against Free Speech

NHGOP Woodshed
Taking them out to the Woodshed again…

Carolyn McKinney’s rebuttal to “some Republicans” pushing to remove the word ‘traditional’ as a qualifier to the word ‘marriage’ in the New Hampshire Republican State Platform is brilliant. It’s so good those Republicans don’t want you to read it. (If you have problems with the above link the piece is also cross-posted here.)

Somone or perhaps a few someones are flagging every effort to post this on Facebook as in violation of Facebook’s rules making it difficult to share.

State Party Tries to Co-opt Young Republicans

Former gubernatorial candidate Andrew Hemingway joins us to discuss a recent NH-GOP Exec. board meeting at which the state party chair and others moved to co-opt the New Hampshire Young Republicans (NHYR). Andrew recounts the events from the meeting, and the degree to which the state party has or is trying to control a group over … Read more

So Much For Republican Unity

Former House rep George Lambert joins us to discuss the  Republican war against one of their own in New Hampshire.  We talk about the players and the political cost at the local level, all (apparently) so Senator Ayotte can clear the battle space to run for re-election as a RINO.  

Facebook Doodlings…How To Treat Your “Republicans”

If you are a Republican in New Hampshire the official party response to Stella Tremblay’s “opinion” (regardless of your opinion about her opinion) is a stark reminder of how you will be treated by them, regardless of your value to the parties so-called political goals (the platform).

I mention it only because of a relatively recent Facebook status update posted in the Republican sphere, that said…

Tremblay criticized for comments on bombing victim. NH GOPers like this are giving NH Dems even better odds at retaining the legislative majority…

There were a few comments both ways to varying degrees but I felt compelled to add my thoughts…

NH GOP RINO’s, State Representative Stella Tremblay, and the Destructive Democrats….

Stella Tremblay: In error, but better than any Democrat
Stella Tremblay: Maybe in error, but still better than any Democrat….

High-level NH RINO’s (“Republicans In Name Only”) are at it again: Jennifer Horn, Gene Chandler, Steve Duprey, and Fergus Cullen are all in a tizzy over state Rep. Stella Tremblay’s recent thoughts on whether the Boston bombing might have elements of an “inside job.” In the Union Leader today, Cullen called Rep. Tremblay “delusional.” Well, whatever error in judgment she may be making, it is less egregious than “Republican leaders” who go out of their way to publicly attack a sitting Republican member of the State House. Here’s what I said today in response to a Union Leader article about it:

I just can’t seem to help it.  (Maybe the next video could be Come on Eileen lean on me?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=QPoTGyWT0Cg

A bleg to Andy Leach’s Boss – where ARE you on this issue?

Yes, the Andy Leach of the Title is the same Andy Leach that I mentioned here (e.g., NH GOP Chair Jennifer Horn’s email to NH GOP Treasurer Robert Scott; “Nice Treasurership you got there; a shame if anything were to happen to it…”):

QUESTION????   Why is Andy Leach, in his capacity of CoS to Kelly Ayotte, being copied on this kind of matter?  Yes, she may well be on the E-Board, but what does she OR Leach have to do with this internal governance spitting match?  Can someone tell me, your lowly blogger, the why of this, please?  After all, there are many folks out there that truly believe that I am of the dimmest bulb sort – I look to be enlightened!  Or is it as simple of what I have heard in rumor: simply one of a few whispers behind the throne?

Anyways, CoS stands for Chief of Staff – Kelly right hand man.  But I digress.  This post is not about him but rather the Jr. Senator from NH, Republican Kelly Ayotte.

Here is the question:

Statement by Jack Kimball on Signatory Authority by the NH GOP Chair

Former NH GOP Chair Jack Kimball’s statement concerning the email thread posted here on GraniteGrok of the situation concerning current NH GOP Chair Jennifer Horn’s refusal to keep to her agreement to not seek signatory authority of the NH GOP’s bank accounts (and other financial instruments) (emphasis mine): Soon after my election as GOP Chair, … Read more

Take It Back or Burn It Down?

The current New Hampshire Republican Party has devolved away from being any kind of bulwark against creeping progressivism and the ardent promotion of candidates who will man the bulwark or (God help us) take us into battle, to little more than an exclusive group for hand-picked political insiders, partying away in the captain’s quarters of our anchored and sinking fleet.
