Last night, GraniteGrok attended the 10th Annual Cornerstone Dinner at the Manchester Radisson Hotel where over 300 traditional value, conservative, religious folks gathered (yup, just the kind of crowd that the "tolerant" Progressives love to hate!). Jim took out time from his simply outrageous campaign schedule (the Energizer Bunny would just give up after watching … Read more
