NH House of Representatives

And then there were four – plus one more

Skip

It looks like the race for NH Speaker for the House (pretty much, the most powerful political position in NH, outstripping that of the Governor) has just gotten more interesting.  From the NH GOP, this was incoming:

 New Hampshire Republican Party Communications Director Ryan Williams released the following statement today on Terie Norelli’s (D-Portsmouth) announcement that she intends to seek another term as New Hampshire House Speaker:

"Under Speaker Norelli’s watch, Democrats have increased spending, raised job-killing taxes and driven New Hampshire to the brink of an unprecedented fiscal disaster. The state now faces a projected deficit of nearly $800 million as a result of the Democrats’ failed leadership and gross mismanagement of the budget.

The entire release is after the jump. So, on the Republican side we have four:

  • Bill O’Brien (who has received the GraniteGrok endorsement)
  • Gene Chandler (lots of traffic at his area at the NH GOP Convention – but there were LOTS of donuts there too!)
  • Susan Emerson (Steve’ observations here)
  • John Reagan (who set up next to the GraniteGrok area at the NH GOP Convention – not much traffic there from what I saw) 

First thoughts?

  • If and Only IF

The ‘Grok interviews Bill O’Brien – Part 3

Skip

This is Part 3 of GraniteGrok’s interview with Bill O’Brien who is running for Speaker of the NH House of Representatives from the "Liberty and Freedom" wing of the NH GOP. Question asked: Are you going to be instituting a radical difference in how Government works?  Power: People or the Political Class?

(D)i Fruscia Takes His Toys And Goes…

Steve MacDonald

With any luck this will be the last time Tony (D)iFruscia leaves the republican party.  Kevin Landrigan reported yesterday that (D)iFrusica, who lost his seat in the primary last Tuesday has officially declared himself an independent.  Mr. (D)iFruscia–and oddly enough Harrel Kirkstein (spokesman for the New Hampshire democrat party) agree that this is another example … Read more

Tony Duh-Fruscia

Steve MacDonald

Anthony DiFruscia is a democrat from Massachusetts who snuck north and infiltrated the GOP.  (Not an uncommon problem for the Granite State). No one had the stones to call him out on it, and year after year he has managed to keep his seat in a Republican leaning district from which he has meddled in other republican races to keep real conservatives from getting elected.

He recently flirted with the idea of leaving the GOP and going with an (I) instead of an (R), but for some reason he’s still a republican and permitted to call himself one.

In response to this a vocal group of actual republicans have risen up to exercise their first amendment rights–making "incendiary" claims about how Mr. DiFruscia’s voting history and the actual GOP platform cannot be brought into alignment without first drinking yourself blind.  And they have this crazy idea that the platform actually means something, and that failing to even get close–maybe 80% of the time–is grounds for a much needed "correction."

Their evil plot?  Use the primary process for its intended purpose and inform the electorate about the records and choices of the people running to represent them.

In response to this free speech assault the bastion of conservative and constitutional (cough-cough) values that Duh-Fruscia presents to the electorate, has penned a letter which you can read after the jump..

Duh-Fruscia 2.0

Steve MacDonald

Someone was kind enough to send me a sliver of NH House Rep Tony DiFrusica’s (R-INO) voting record–that part that makes his desperate clinging to the Republican party untenable. -Voted for HCR2   Endorsing the National Health Care Act  (Voted to endorse ObamaCare!)   -Voted for same-sex marriage (HB1590 & HB73)   -Voted against parental consent … Read more

NH House Dems Travel To Oz

Steve MacDonald

The New Hampshire House democrats have themselves a new web page and I think someone needs to contact the Attorney General; they are guilty of false advertising.

The Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire Endorses Rep. Bill O’Brien for Speaker of the House

Tim Condon

The position of Speaker of the House of Representatives in the Free State of New Hampshire is one of the most important political positions in our state, second only to the governorship itself. The Speaker is generally one of the leaders of his or her political party in the state, and very much helps guide the party from a philosophical standpoint as well as being a legislative tactician. This is why it’s such an important position.

Rep. Bill O’Brien, out of the town of Mont Vernon, is the state representative destined to take that position. Accordingly…

…the RLCNH has just mailed out the following letter to every Republican running as a candidate for the NH State House. Those who prevail over their Democrat opponents will join the emerging GOP majority in New Hampshire, and will vote to elect a new Speaker of the House in Concord. There are many reasons they should vote for Rep. Bill O’Brien, for whom I have great respect and admiration. The letter that follows
details some of them….

If you know any Republicans (or Democrats, for that matter) who are running for the State House, be aware that one of the first things they’ll be doing in Concord if they win their elections…is vote for a Speaker of the House. That would be Bill O’Brien, who will be a solid leader for every member of … Read more
