Post-Tucker Fox Ratings Collapse

Fox canceled Tucker Carlson’s show without notice. Since then, things have been looking good for Tucker – though, last I checked, he was still under contract with Fox News. As for Fox News, things are not as chipper over there in the wake of that change.

The Oscars – If Somebody Watched It, It Wasn’t Me!

Disclaimer: I don’t like 98% of most movies. I hate sitting through them without the possibility of multitasking. And most of Hollywood’s offerings aren’t worth the spit in my mouth. Furthermore, if I want to get preached at, I go to church. So, now this.

How Did Your NH House Republican Rank In 2011?

NHHRA Banner

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.
