GraniteGrok Endorsement – NH House District 8: Jane Cormier

September 26, 2018September 8, 2012

Lively doesn’t begin to describe Jane Cormier , who is running for the NH House in Belknap 8 – (Alton, Barnstead, and Gilmanton)- to depose Democrat-running-as-Republican Peter Bolster. Over the last couple of months, I have come to know Jane and know that she is scared for both her State and her Country; she sees the harm that Liberals / Progressives (actually, Regressives) in their attempts to move us all “forward” – but that direction forward is nothing more than moving away from our Constitutions that value Individual freedoms and liberty and back to the ancient paradigm of “we rule, you live with the decision we give you” aristocracy.

Our interview series with her (see after the jump) makes this abundantly clear and in our discussions with her afterwards, she has only confirmed that our feeling that she is a “real deal” Conservative that will better serve the long term benefit of NH citizens (versus Peter Bolster, who is aligned with the notion of Progressive Govt is one that will give you lots of “free” stuff – at the expense of your freedom to decide things for yourself. Have any doubt? Go here).

Also, see again her video “Mythology 101: The Imaginary War on Women“.

We fully endorse Jane for NH House in Belknap 8 and ask for your vote for her.

RINO Hunting…Targeting Six of the Biggest Incumbent RINO’s in the New Hampshire House

September 26, 2018September 6, 2012

by Steve MacDonald

The RLCNH has some fact filled Internet nuggets for us to chew on, and they are all RINO flavored.

That’s right, once again the liberty Republicans have to come out and remind everyone else about the records of progressives who have been hiding under the trunk of the Republican Party for…in some cases…a very long time.

And there is a very consistent theme among them. They are all endorsed by the SEIU. They like more spending, more taxes, and less liberty. They are the (r)epublicans that get support from public sector unions (with the addition of Firefighters, most of whom are Democrats planted in the GOP by the PFFNH and the NHDP). And whenever anyone calls them out…Democrats run to their defense.

But there is a primary next week and all six of the candidates on this particular list is in a position to be sent packing if Real Republicans come out and vote for Real Republicans.

GrokTV Event: Belknap County Republican Committee “Contested Primaries” – NH House, District 8

The last of the contested primaries here in NH’s Belknap County is that in NH House District 8: Jane Cormier and Peter Bolster.

Jane is a Conservative firebrand and is working hard to learn what is needed and working hard on her campaign. Our interview series with Jane ended here (see the Previous videos on the post for the earlier questions). She would be a breath of fresh air compared to her opponent.

Speaking of which, Peter Bolster, IMHO, is a Democrat registered as a Republican (and has publicly said as much in the past). We have written extensively on his dismal record as a republican in the NH House votes

(here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here);

it is sad (and maddening) that there are Democrats that are more in line with the Republican Platform than he is. In fact, I had a question to ask at the meeting and I followed the protocol of the meeting and wrote down my question and submitted it (after the jump).

“Independent” voter in the House? really? I will admit, he’s got chutzpah – he can’t possibly run using “Independent” in persuading most Republicans in the know concerning his actual record (which he did not go into). Read that again, look at some of the links, and it is easily seen that he has earned his title: RINO. What else do you call a Republican that consistently votes against the Republican Platform…..oh wait -> Democrat!

GrokTV Event: Belknap County Republican Committee “Contested Primaries” – US Congress

This past Wednesday nite was the monthly Belknap County Republican Committee (“BCRC”) meeting. I’ve missed the last few but only because there has been so many different meetings in so many places on Wednesday nites lately, I’ve gone to some of those “one time only’s” vs something that is there like a clock. This month, however, was different than most. Instead of the standard monthly mantra of one or two “special” speakers, it was devoted to giving those candidates that are in contested primary races (i.e., a higher number of Republicans running for a lesser number of available seats) here in Belknap County. Each race had all of the Candidates come up and talk, and answer questions from the audience if there were some. Here is Rick Parent, running to be the US Congressman from NH First Congressional District (his competitors were no shows):

Sidenote: Unfortunately, in what I felt was an overblown adherence to the so-called 11th Commandment (which generally is invoked to protect the guilty by those that can’t stand waves), MY questions were crumpled up and thrown away for being ‘too divisive in a public forum” by the BCRC Chair, Alan Glassman; I will be post them on the appropriate videos so that you may judge…oh heck, here they are:

Peter Bolster for NH Senate District #6 – an Editorial for Truth in Advertisment

September 26, 2018August 5, 2012

by Skip

Updated and Bumped: Grok Reader Bob saw this and asked that I update this post given that it is out of date – Bolster quickly gave up his delusions of a NH Senate run and is now running to retain his seat in the NH House, I should make sure that folks knew if they came across this post. While what his sign says (NH District 6) is now out of date – given that he IS a former Democrat, and VOTES like a Democrat (another one of those that is using the Republicans to get elected), my little addition to his sign is STILL applicable.

[Updated and Bumped- I added the Republican House Rep A+ grades on the jump. Grok Updates by county etc coming soon.]

AFP-NH has released its 2011-2012 Legislative scorecard for New Hampshire. In my review of the score card results there is not much that will surprise anyone who makes it a habit of paying attention to what happens in Concord. But not everyone lurks in the Political sausage factory so lets take a quick review.

NH House Score Card…

Every Democrat in the New Hampshire House received an ‘F’ except for Domingo Baldwin in Stafford County and John Gilmas in Hillsborough; They both got a C.

Joining these two Democrats on the Republican side with a grade of “C” …

Randall Brownrigg (Hills-27), Patricia Dowling (Rock-05), Richard Drisko (Hills-05), Laura Gandia (Hills-27), David Knox (Carroll-04), Michael McCarthy (Hills-21), Herbert Richardson (Coos-02), Tony Soltani (Merr-08), Frankilin Sterling (Cheshire-07), and Steve Vallincourt (Hills-15).

NH House Republicans receiving a ‘D’ Include

Michael Buxton (Hills-24), Tim Copeland (Rock-13), Russell Day (Hills-07). Mark Proulx (Hills-15), David Robbins (Hills-26), Jeffery Shackett (Grafton-08), and James Waddell (Rock-15)

And the NH House Republicans who got an ‘F’ like the majority of Democrats…

Peter Bolster (Belknap-05), Julie Brown (Strafford-01), Susan Emerson (Cheshire-07), Carolyn Gargasz (Hills-05), Tim Hogan (Hills-23), Karen Hutchinson (Rock-03), Kevin Janvrin (Rock-14), David Kidder (Merr-01), Priscilla lockwood (Merr-06), Irene Messier (Hills-17), Alida Millham (Belknap-05), William Panek (Strafford-03), Amy & Lawrence Perkins (Rock-14), Marshall & Matt Quandt (Rock-13), and William Remick (Coos-02)

So who got an A or an A+?
