The No Labels Lie Starts Today

The New Hampshire Sleeper Cell of No Labels woke up and puts it’s cloven hooves on the ground today, as did all the other franchises nationwide. The group, founded by a trio of democrat national political consultants, has had plenty of ink at GraniteGrok already (11/17/10 and 12/1/10) because it is imperative that we understand who they are and why they should be avoided.

Elephant Innards

Any migration of Republicans away from a vote for “Speaker O’Brien” might say more about Gene Chandler than it does Bill. It might mean that Gene was either insincere in his request for unity–and I am on the record both commending him and taking him at his word for that stance–or it demonstrates his inability to control even those who would have chosen him as their House Speaker.

It’s Another “Can’t We All Just Get Along Coalition”

John DiStaso’s Granite Status alerts us to the formation of yet another group designed to help American’s ‘find a copacetic political medium.’  This one is called NoLabels. Like similar ‘groups’ (I’ll call them out in a moment) this one wants to bring the self-proclaimed rational people from both sides into the center.

From DiStato

A new advocacy group that disdains "hyper-partisanship" and promotes "the vital center" is trying to make in-roads in New Hampshire.

…

"Ultimately, unless we get rid of some of our ideological intensity, we are not going to be served by government."

The group is being fronted locally by former Portsmouth mayor and so-called centrist democrat Steve Marchand.  I’m not going to waste time on whether Marchand is centrist or not, in fact I think I’ll skip the preview reel altogether and get to the point.

Looking For Closure?

I thought you might want to know.  Cynthia Dokmo, the RINO Write-in candidate from Amherst who chose to ignore the will of her primary voters came in dead last.  Out of 15 candidates (7 GOP, 7 DEMO, plus Dokmo) Cynthia collected 2012 votes. That’s less than half (43%) of the number needed to make the cut.

But her endorsement seems to have carried some weight.  Dokmo endorsed Democrat Shannon Chandley for the NH House, and Shannon made first loser, failing to make the grade by a paltry 741 votes.  All the other DEM’s fell in between, as the Republicans not only swept the district they denied Dokmo twice.

There is however room for some speculation, and a correction perhaps to my previous estimation that Dokmo could skim off enough votes from a real Republican to allow a Democrat (Chandley as it turns out) to sneak in.

The GOP Civil War, Part XII: Republican leaders who supported Obama…

And would do it again! Some of them are quite emphatic. Are they idiots? Turncoats? Fools? Back-stabbers? Morons? Calculating betrayers? None of the above? Or all of the above? The story is  fascinating. Interestingly, one former GOP leader lauds his support for Obama by observing that the President has caused "a remarkable rejuvenation of the conservative movement….If McCain had … Read more

Chandley/Dokmo Take Over The Amherst Citizen

If you read the Amherst citizens October 26th edition you won’t be wondering how people feel about Cynthia Dokmo’s Write-In campaign or whether Shannon Chandley is a good candidate.  Of the twenty-seven (27) letters to the editor in this week’s edition, seventeen (17) mention either Dokmo or Chandley favorably, with at least one mentioning both.  … Read more

Jayne Spaulding-Say Hello To My Woodshed

RINO!Jayne Spaulding is a RINO.  The voters in her district grew weary of her brand of left leaning republican governance and used the primary ballot box to excuse her from participating in the 2010 general election, deciding instead on other choices made available to them.

Jayne, like several other RINO’s in New Hampshire who have been the victims of "fringe elements" (aka-voters) have suddenly lost faith in the secret ballot now that it has become a capricious scold; tossing her to the curb like a two-dollar whore.  How dare the electorate that once embraced Jayne Spaulding refuse to show up to ensure her tenure in the New Hampshire House.  Clearly this is a mistake, the doing of some sinister cabal of right wing special interests and conservative extremists.  They can’t possibly have decided to take the state in a different direction from that of moderate Jayne Spaulding?

(No word yet from Jayne on the possibility of also claiming that foreign campaign dollars polluted the district to marshall her undoing.  But give her time.  She’s got all the other left wing excuses working.)

Jilted RINO Seeks Revenge

Longtime RINO and progressive sympathizer Cynthia Dokmo lost her primary.  She didn’t take it well.  Now she is pulling a Murkowski–sort of–waging a write in campaign to undo the injustice thrust upon her by primary voters. Certainly it must have been a mistake.  In all of her district there has to be one or two … Read more

Judd Gregg’s Legacy

In regard to Obama Care…   “I don’t think starving or repealing is the best approach here. You basically go in and restructure it.”   Cue the Duck Boats.  Gregg’s legacy just set sail.

OK, this one is just too serendipitious

How often would Google Ads had the ability to just play this just right?  From Hot Air, their Quote of the Day from Senator Susan Collins (R-ME): "It’s hard out here for a RINO":

“It’s a tough time to be a moderate in the U.S. Senate.  Sitting down with those on the opposite side of a debate, negotiating in good faith, attempting to reach a solution — such actions are now vilified by the hard-liners on both sides of the aisle. Too few want to achieve real solutions; too many would rather draw sharp distinctions and score political points, even if that means neglecting the problems our country faces…

“Oh, how times have changed. When I led the effort in 2009 to try to produce a more fiscally responsible stimulus bill, I was attacked by partisans on both sides. On the left, I was attacked by columnists for cutting $100 billion from the bill and mocked in the blogosphere as “Swine Flu Sue” for my contention that spending for a pandemic flu did not belong in the stimulus package but should be part of the regular appropriations process. On the right, I was denounced as a traitor and a RINO (‘Republican in name only’), and one of my Republican colleagues targeted me for a campaign that generated tens of thousands of out-of-state e-mails denouncing me…

And it goes on for a while longer.  But what was so amusing was to be found at the bottom of the post – how apropo (gee, twice in one day!) of Google:

Coffee Party Needs More Prunes.

Apparently the post Tea Party, can’t we all just get along, moderate, reaching across the aisle movement had its big national Coffee Party Convention this weekend.

… (?)

Yeah, that’s what I said.

Hot Air has some actual video of a room (posted here on the jump) with a few people in it.  Looks like the seniors got lost on the way to the all expenses paid time-share weekend seminar, or maybe a bus or two missed Foxwoods and just kept going?  Like I said.  Big….national….convention. Big…..convention.

 

350 people showed up.

“Republicans Against Parental Rights”

There’s no point in denying it.  If you are a republican for Lynch, you might as well just call yourself the ‘Republicans Against Parental Rights.’  It’s a hallmark of the Lynch legacy and one which cannot be properly corrected for as long as he sits in the Governor’s chair.  By supporting him you are stating … Read more

Meet RINOJOEL Maiola [updated]

Whatever credibility Joel Maiola may have had with actual Republicans should be dead now.  In this mornings Union Leader we are treated to RINOJOEL’s TM treatise on the Greatness that would be John Lynch (were greatness even a possibility).

When the recession hit, Lynch acted quickly and aggressively to cut state spending. He kept New Hampshire’s budget balanced and delivered a surplus. At the same, he kept state taxes the lowest in the nation and kept his promise to oppose an income or a sales tax.

Actually, Lynch grew the state budget during the entirely of the recession.  He spent more year on year in two successive budgets, increasing the cost to taxpayers about 23% while the cost of living barely moved, and while private sector employment dropped, and wages stagnated or declined–he added state employees.  Only in late 2009 when he began to smell the stink of a challenging re-election looming, did he even consider cutting back the public sector unions that donate so heavily to his party apparatus. 

RINOJOELTM would also like you to believe that bonding and debt, and relying on one time money from the federal government is ‘balancing’ the budget.  It’s actually a gross miscarriage of fiscal leadership to pass the costs of your government on to future leaders and the children of the electorate, but that is the hallmark of Lynch and his democrat majority legislature.  Remember what Rep Eaton said..and I paraphrase…  "You cant look for revenue until you know how much you are spending."

And Lynch let them spend.

It’s Time For These “Republicans” To Come Out Of The Closet

Republicans for LynchEvery election year the RINO’s do us a favor by announcing themselves as the Republican’s for Lynch.  They have done so again, and we are presented with another unique opportunity to demonstrate the need to clarify an important distinction.

Lynch favors abortion, is against parental notification, supports gay marriage, likes to spend taxpayer money, enjoys the opportunity to expand the bureaucracy and centralize power, is not against using government power to deny private property, wants to tax business, will cram costs down on towns and counties, deny them revenue, has been known to hob-nob with millionaire special interests who then dump over $100,000.00 dollars into his campaign, would hamstring free speech, supports Obamacare, supports cap and trade and plays like a kitten with all the strings attached to the federal money he begs for to keep the spreadsheet from falling off a cliff, is clearly against state sovereignty, and still managed to accumulate hundreds of millions in debt and then lie about it to stay in office.  And that’s the short lit.

I checked the GOP Platform.  You can’t support Lynch and be a republican.  So you are either a Republican, or you are for Lynch, you can’t be both.

The NRSC Needs To Be Spanked Around Some More

The National RINO Senatorial Committee (NRSC) seems poised to deny the peoples choice in Delaware any of their precious treasure. Too bad some of that treasure comes from regular republicans like the people who selected Christine O’Donnell as their candidate for November.

Bass Linked To Soros?

Charlie Bass is a Main Street Republican, even serving in a leadership position for some years.

The Main Street Republicans are RINO’s, moderates, they are not conservatives, nor are they libertarians.  They are big government right of center democrats.  And according to Michelle Malkin one of the group’s soft money fronts has (in the past) accepted donations from the likes of George Soros.

The donations go back to 2002 and 2005 and the money "launderers" are claiming no affiliation, but Malkin has dug up enough details of her own and from other sources to make a case that Soros sees enough value in the policy positions of Main Street Republicans–people like Charlie Bass–to feel comfortable giving them large sums of money.

You can follow the links, do all the reading, and come to your own conclusions–I’m not here to seel you on it–but anyone who has seen the C-Bass voting record knows he is closer to Soros than anyone else running for the Republican nomination in CD-2.

You would think that should matter in a state with the motto Live Free or Die.  You’d think.

Duh-Fruscia 2.0

Someone was kind enough to send me a sliver of NH House Rep Tony DiFrusica’s (R-INO) voting record–that part that makes his desperate clinging to the Republican party untenable. -Voted for HCR2   Endorsing the National Health Care Act  (Voted to endorse ObamaCare!)   -Voted for same-sex marriage (HB1590 & HB73)   -Voted against parental consent … Read more

A Place To Start–RINO’s For Lynch

RINO HuntingSkip made a good point (here).  That one of the reasons the baby killing, parent denying, taxing, spending, fund robbing, fibber John Lynch even has a shot at a "unprecedented fourth term" as governor, is because republicans vote for him.

He’s not a moderate.  He’s just a quiet liberal, you know the type. Well, no you don’t.  If you did, you would not vote for him.

While the pillory might be a bit excessive, knowledge is a powerful thing.  And so is history.  Back in 2008 Ed Naile was kind enough to publish the list for the ‘Republicans for John Lynch Steering committee.’

May we find them and steer them back to the right, or right out of the Republican party.

List on the jump. (Along with the town of residence at the time the list was compiled.)

Sean Mahoney Would Have Voted With Ray Buckley

The Mahoney campaign has gone all-in (and all out) on the negative campaigning.  In fact you may have gotten a piece of glossy mail from them referring to votes by Frank Guinta which Mahoney has framed in a negative way. Now I could squawk about how these are cherry picked procedural votes he is focusing … Read more
