A fitness instructor, who now happens to be a 100% NHHRA rated Republican New Hampshire state rep, had someone call the statehouse to complain? Not about a vote but over a three-year-old photo she shared on Facebook.

New Hampshire House Republican Alliance Elects Leadership
by Skip
MANCHSTER, NH – The House Republican Alliance, a caucus of Republican lawmakers, assembled to elect leadership for 2012-22 term of the General Court on Sunday, November 29.
NH House RINO Reduction ‘Therapy’ Nets Results in 2018
One of the grassroots goals in 2018 was to find and support candidates to replace Republicans in the New Hampshire House who had either fallen off the ‘platform’ wagon or were never really on it. Incumbents who, for whatever reason, decided that their party registration is more a guideline than a rule. Orm in a few cases, just the letter you put in parentheses after your name to get elected to office in a Republican-leaning district.
Better candidates to replace these occasional republicans were recruited and supported in for lack of a better word ‘targeted’ districts. At least eight that I know of were successfully retired.
How Did Your NH House Republican Rank In 2011?
The New Hampshire House Republican Alliance has released its July 2011 score card for the entire first session of the Republican House majority. NHHRA Score Card PDF file.
I’ve culled my reps from the list (Hills 19) below. I’ve also generated a list of the Republican bottom feeders for 2011. These are what we would call RINOs, moderate democrats who could never survive the bullying from the left, or might never get elected if they admitted that they have little or no interest in supporting the Republican party platform.
They are folks who are incapable of finding the 80/20 rule, or to be more precise the 70/30 rule, and in one instance (Ken Gould) we have a (r)epublican who only voted against the party 70% of the time.
The NHCP (formerly the NHDP) will call this a purity list, which is amusing when you consider how they treat their moderates, but let me assure you that it is no such thing. It is more like an intervention. Many of these troubled souls are in denial. Trapped in Republican leaning districts they are pretending to be something they are not. I’m just helping them (and their constituents) to accept that they may be democrats, actual independent moderates, or just missing the boat often enough to get lumped in with people who have little or no interest in the goals of the party.
There’s nothing wrong with that. But it’s time to come out of the closet and stop pretending. To embrace your "independent" or democrat roots, and run as what you are instead of pretending to be something you are not.
Here is the Hills 19 list first (Merrimack). For the list of bottom feeders, just follow the jump.
