Herbert Spencer describes the difference in “political parties” circa 1850 in a manner wholly appropriate to our circumstances today. Exactly, in fact. On the one side, compulsory cooperation and on the other, voluntary association.

Koch Brothers (Americans for Prosperity) to Support Democrats in 2020 …
From the Washington Examiner: The influential Koch network is open to backing Democrats in the 2020 election cycle. A memo from Emily Seidel, the CEO of Americans for Prosperity, the Koch brothers’ political organization, said the group would “support the primary election of lawmakers, regardless of political party, who stick their necks out to lead diverse … Read more

Net Metering: Connected Cronies Want to Rob You and Profit From Your Electric Bill
Net Metering (HB365) is a crony scam that will transfer tens of millions annually from the pockets of small business (job creators) and working families to a select few connected individuals and organizations that can afford to profit from it. And too many Republicans support it.
Left vs. Right (Takers vs. Givers)
We will argue over the finer points, but at the end of the legislative day, those don’t matter. Republicans used their majority to give back. They lowered taxes and reduced government interference over your daily life. Democrats are using their majority to take things away from you.
When Republicans Adopt Language Redefined by Democrats They’ve Already Lost – Right, NH House Republican Office?
Sheesh…once again, the Stupid Party earns its moniker. Repetez avec moi: I will not use Democrat linguistics. I will not use Democrat linguistics. I will not use Democrat linguistics. Because once I do, I have already lost.
With friends like us, who needs enemies?
Senator Lindsey Graham — nominally a Republican — is trying to put together federal legislation to give grants to states that pass Red Flag laws. The National Rifle Association — nominally a gun rights organization — has gone on record in support of these laws.
These have to be belated April Fool’s jokes, right? Unfortunately, they’re not. But there’s a joke that helps explain how situations like this come about:
What Republicans Have Done for Blacks and Women – A quick History Lesson
Are looking for a quick roundup of all the things Republicans have done for Blacks and Women? How about something that also includes a look at all the things Democrats have done to blacks and women?
603 Alliance – GrokInterviews at the 603 Alliance “Thank YOU” event – Becca Bailey
At the 603 Alliance “Thank YOU!” event a week ago this past Saturday in Manchester, I was asked to go around and do a few quick interviews of both 603 Board members, those that assisted with their candidate events, and some candidates as well. Next on my “interview hit list” was Becca Bailey who ran … Read more
Eleven NH Republicans Join Democrats To Protect Unconstitutional Buffer Zone Law
Politics is about keeping score. And since we’re here for the principles, not just the party, it behooves us to report on elected officials registered as Republicans who refuse to act like them. Republicans should protect free speech, association, and its public exercise. And yet there are those who will not. Whatever, Stephen, do you mean? … Read more
Democrats removed a Constitutional Right from the NH House – what will they do to you?
by Rep. Jeanine Notter (Deputy Republican NH House Floor Leader) Merrimack The 166th New Hampshire State Legislature had its first Session for the new term on Wednesday, January 2, 2019. Democrats in the NH House of Representatives now have the majority and their first order of business was to disarm the Representatives. I campaigned as a defender … Read more
Well, it looked like the US House Republicans got Trump’s message – they passed a bill
Next to repealing Obamacare, immigration has been a hot topic amongst the conservative base. Trump knew it and campaigned heavily on it: The Wall. Forget whether you like the idea (I do) or not, it was a campaign promise. It was for a lot of other Congresscritters as well but even with owning all three … Read more
Steve Stepanek Has Clear Shot at NHGOP Chairmanship – Wayne MacDonald not Interested
Acting New Hampshire Republican Party Chair Wayne MacDonald will not seek re-election. This clears a path for candidate Steve Stepanek when the party meets on January 26th. Steve announced a few weeks ago and is the only candidate still standing. Speculation that Mike Biundo might seek the post collapsed when he declined. NHGOP Vice-Chair Matt Mayberry was … Read more
“I am running for the position of Chair (Belknap County Republican Committee)
Dear Fellow Republicans:
On Wednesday, December 12, the Belknap County Republican Committee will be meeting at the Laconia VFW Post, 143 Court Street, Laconia. The principal purpose of the meeting will be to elect 19 Republican State Committee Members from Belknap County. Although any Republican can make nominations, only “Delegates” can vote at that time.
I ask for your support and vote to elect me as one of the Committee Members.
Also, on January 9, the Belknap County GOP will be electing its officers, and I am running for the position of Chair.
1,322 Votes and It’s a 13-11 Republican Majority New Hampshire State Senate
The Democrat “Sweep” of New Hampshire looks impressive. But when you run the numbers, especially on the State Senate side, it’s quite fragile. To show you how precarious the win, we only need to look at a few State Senate Races. A difference of 275 votes (total) between just two races (Avard and Gannon) produces … Read more
Girls Can Grow Up to Be Anything…Just Not Conservative
Elections where minority candidates lose, except in places like (say) New Hampshire, have become an opportunity for the left to wield the nuclear bomb called racism, on (of all people) women. Exit polling where Stacy Abrahams and Andrew Gillum have yet to win (because Democrat voting never ends even after the polls close) showed more white women voting for … Read more
How to lose elections
I keep hearing that the GOP needs to get better at making use of social media, and the Internet in general. And better at raising and spending money.
But looking at the mass of campaign literature in my burn box, it occurs to me that a party only needs things like web sites and social media pages and a ton of cash for mailings and yard signs if people don’t already know what it stands for.
Unfortunately, that’s a pretty accurate description of the current state of the Republican Party.
What the Hell are We Doing?
by Rebecca Bailey It’s no wonder that almost 6,175 people voted in Hanover and 2,590 in Plymouth a vast majority being democrats leading to losses for County seats and executive council. (see quote below and view the link provided) Meanwhile, we the Grafton County and State Republicans, have in-fighting over ridiculous issues. We hang onto … Read more
Republicans: Making Excuses for Their Inertia (or lack of it)
New Hampshire’s recent cleansing comes on the heels of two of the worst Republican Majority Sessions in my time as a blogger. Lead by a “Republican Speaker” elected by Democrats and a renowned moderate aisle-crosser the legislature embraced and passed bills that would have died an early death under the watchful eyes of more diligent … Read more
