I found Gaetz to be an interesting speaker that held the NRCC’s Steak Out attendees’ attention quite well. Traveling over a number of topics, going after those folks that “need going over,” throwing out some red meat from time to time, and doing it with humor and vignettes along the way.

GrokTV – Nashua Republican City Committee 2021 Annual Steak Out – Part 1
by Skip
This past Friday was the NRCC’s Annual event. This year’s Keynote Speaker was US Congressman Matt Gaetz. However, first things first, let’s get through the Intro Ceremonies third – first up is Corey Lewandowski giving the introduction, via phone, of Matt Gaetz:
Words Have Consequences
by Op-Ed
Disarray: confusion, chaos, disorder. With all due respect to Doris Hohensee in her May 14, 2021, Grok article “The Nashua Republican Party is in disarray” she is entitled to her opinion, but her facts need a little work.
GOP Launches WinRed – A Republican Version of ActBlue
ActBlue has been around for 15 years raising hundreds of millions in small dollar donations for Democrats at every level. Republicans have made no serious effort to compete effectively at that level until now. And you probably have Donald Trump to thank for that.
GrokDebates – yes, we want to do them. We ARE going to do them going forward
by Skip
Over the years, GraniteGrok has made it part of our Citizen Journalism to cover debates. One reason is that we like listening (and critiquing) who was there, what was said, and to determine their political philosophies with respect to the NH Constitution, US Constitution, and to date, the NH GOP. We did debates, and covered them in unique ways, that the mainstream press just couldn’t or wouldn’t. Part of the later is either just a lack of time (on TV News) or space (newspaper “inches” or word counts. We, on the other hand, have neither limitation.
We also covered debates that they didn’t – they (and often the NH GOP) are only interested in the top of the ticket races: Governor, US Congress, US Senate. The other races?
Pound sand. Well, no longer. I’ve been yakking about taking GraniteGrok to the “next” level – debates will be part of that. While we will still cover other folks’ debates, we believe it is time to do our own. And we shall.
The Waste List
Courtesy of Twitter and the NRCC, we have a list of government spending defined as waste. There is wasted regulatory spending, and then the plain old “why is the government paying for that” waste. Examples? Video game programs and studies. Audit programs that cost more than they save. Sculpture gardens. How about cash innovation awards … Read more
NRCC Steak Out 2012!
by Tom
The Nashua Republican City Committee (NRCC) is at it again, with their annual “Steak Out” dinner/fundraiser planned for Saturday, August 25, 2012.
They’ve always managed to get some great keynotes, from the late Andrew Breitbart and James O’Keefe, to Maricopa County, AZ Sheriff, Joe Arpaio, to former Fox News anchor, E.D. Hill.
This year, they are hosting former meteorologist and science reporter, now conservative talk radio host and author, Brian Sussman.
GrokTV Special Event – Howie Carr at the Nashua Republican “Growing the Grassroots” Dinner – The Videos Part 1
by Skip
Woke up early this morning, so the easy decision was to toddle downstairs and start processing the video from last night’s Nashua Republican City Committee event labeled “Growing the Grassroots”. Intro ceremonies here and after the jump are the videos of the reading of US Senator Kelly Ayotte’s letter to the NRCC, Congressman Charlie Bass‘s address to the crowd, Charlie’s opponent in the primary Dennis Lamare implored the crowd to vote for him, and Kevin Smith made his pitch to be the next NH GOP nominee for NH Governor (note: NH State Senator Bob Luther was a surrogate for Ovide Lamontagne, but the it seems that my original button press to restart the recording did not really “press” – apologies. It can be seen in the replay of the live stream (to be posted later).
The video of the Keynote Speaker for the evening, WRKO talk host and Boston Globe Columnist Howie Carr, will be posted later on today.

Also fellow blogger and talk show host at WCRN (50,000 watts!) Pete Ingemi (“DaTechGuy”) joins us at our micro “bloggers row” – we will be joining him in studio in a couple of weeks to discuss our ongoing Right To Know requests concerning the Internet escapades at the State of NH
