….and voted off the island at The Draft tonite.
So tonite was the Merrimack County Republican Committee meeting and given what happened Monday night, I wanted to report on what people would be talking about, so I drove down (spent a while trying to find a parking spot)
Sidenote; Andy and Laurie, you gotta get some more parking spots!! Heh!
and went upstairs to see that the meeting was already in progress. I quietly went to the back and set up my camera. Surprise – apparently some people weren’t all that appreciative that media was there. Or some Democrat tracker, 0r that it was me / GraniteGrok (I had to laugh, I’ve only been wearing that “meeting attire” of a ‘Grok shirt, cap, and vest for HOW many years now?). Either way, it was a bit surreal thing to hears several calls that “he helps elect Democrats” (along with some derisive “that Granite Grok”) as well – I laughed. I do admit that we all try to get BETTER Republicans elected – if there is a Republican that is voting more like a Democrat, that’s what a primary is for and we take full advantage of that….but really, helping the Dems? Only if one believes the meme of “anybody with an R next to their name IS a good Republican” and that NEVER should one Republican attack another? Sorry, we don’t believe that – for if you believe that anything is possible, well, you may find Rs voting like Ds and acting AGAINST the Republican Party Principles (and too bad if it is your friend).
Well, it certainly felt like was a bit of payback time for our pitchfork times by some who haven’t like the idea that we at the ‘Grok don’t accept that meme.
Yeah, we who try hard in defending the Party Platform (and the “brand”) with Flashlights are extremists and the bad guys – go figure that “we try to elect Dems”.
