RINO Hunting…Targeting Six of the Biggest Incumbent RINO’s in the New Hampshire House

September 26, 2018September 6, 2012

The RLCNH has some fact filled Internet nuggets for us to chew on, and they are all RINO flavored.

That’s right, once again the liberty Republicans have to come out and remind everyone else about the records of progressives who have been hiding under the trunk of the Republican Party for…in some cases…a very long time.

And there is a very consistent theme among them. They are all endorsed by the SEIU. They like more spending, more taxes, and less liberty. They are the (r)epublicans that get support from public sector unions (with the addition of Firefighters, most of whom are Democrats planted in the GOP by the PFFNH and the NHDP). And whenever anyone calls them out…Democrats run to their defense.

But there is a primary next week and all six of the candidates on this particular list is in a position to be sent packing if Real Republicans come out and vote for Real Republicans.

I DID talk to Annmarie Timmins at the Concord Monitor about RINOs, Julie Brown, and the Internet

A loyal reader alerted me to this in the Concord Monitor this morning – Annmarie Timmins runs a column similar to Distao’s (Union Leader) – concerning the RINO of the Week / Year series that Rick runs (heh!). She had called me about the bumper stickers and more specifically, about the license plate. What she wrote (I have added pertinent links):

“Republican vs. “Republican“

Rep. David Kidder of New London is letting bygones be bygones.

Despite recently losing GraniteGrok.com’s coveted 2011 RINO (Republican In Name Only) of the Year award to Rep. Julie Brown of Rochester, the two were chatting happily at a legislative hearing last week.

Kidder, a Realtor serving his fourth term, was in the running along with 15 other representatives who don’t always vote along party lines.

“It was, well, disappointing,” Kidder said Thursday. But Kidder knew he had no chance once the conservatives in his party got a look at the bumper stickers on Brown’s car.

“Tea Parties are for Little Girls and Their Imaginary Friends,” says one. The other pictures a dog with the words, “I want free health care too.” GraniteGrok.com posted a snapshot of Brown’s bumper, legislative license plate included, on its website.

You bet I did!

Wrong About RINOs

Representative Julie "The Mad Hatter" Brown, Strafford, District 1 RINO of the Year

When I began doing the RINO Report, I had opined initially that RINO’s don’t really care about my musings on whether or not he or she is a RINO. I was wrong about that. I am finding out that RINO’s do care. Fact is, I am finding out that some I have labelled as RINO’s are actually…well, quite thin skinned.

The true test of how well-read the blog has been, is evidenced by the number of people who stop on by to call me a MORON. Such viscera is good for the inner constitution. And, Despite being negative, it’s still feedback. When I get such feedback I am reminded of 28 years ago…back to the year, 1983, when I was a recruit at Third Battalion H Company at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island. As the Senior Drill instructor

RINO OF THE YEAR!

Representative Julie “The Mad Hatter” Brown, Strafford, District 1 is the RINO of the Year based on three separate polls!

: Representative Julie “The Mad Hatter” Brown, Strafford, District 1 RINO of the Year

I was certain when I started these polls that Ken Gould would win. But Julie Brown left Ken in the dust and was overwhelmingly chose by over 300 participants in the polls. In the coming days, I will be looking more closely at what drove the selection…But I have be honest…I would have selected her myself. Aside from other RINO’s, none has demonstrated such flippant arrogance and elitism as Julie Brown has.

Guess the Political Party, given the bumper stickers!

Yes, this is a NH House legislator. Those of you who are “NH political junkies” can probably decode the House Vanity plate and already know whose car this is. For those of you who are not, the answer is after the jump.

The bumper stickers? Revealing:
