RINO’s

The New Hampshire House RINO Caucus

How a representative votes can tell you a lot about their priorities. These folks, who happen to run around with an (R) next to their name, think that state-crushing federal mandates like Obamacare should not be resisted by every means possible.

You know, sometimes they just make it too easy…

Once more, he tries for relevancy from the fringe:  “He thinks everyone else is a sellout and a RINO,” said Fergus Cullen, a former chairman of the state’s Republican Party, using the acronym for Republican In Name Only. “He is absolutely a purity Republican.” (H/T: NYT) Unity speak, this is not (perhaps sour grapes, though). …

Bend It For The Benjamins

As a follow up to this, yesterday or maybe the day before, the NH Journal (NHJ), New Hampshire’s prominent internet news source if the news is whatever Hynes communications is being paid to call news, decided to float a lie called pin the conservative blogger to Jack Kimball. Someone the NH Journal staff knew would stir the pot was fingered as Kimball’s communications director if he won the job as GOP State party chairman, even though no one–including Kimball and the blogger–knew anything about it until after the digital ink was dry.

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”

NoLabels is NoDifferent than the Live Free or Die Alliance, The Coffee Party, or any number of other would-be, sing a song and grab a Coke, dream a little dream utopian chat fest that pretends there is a middle to exploit the politically weak. They are all formed or founded by liberals, with liberal money, in an effort to drag Republican’s or conservatives to the left, forming a bloc of confused voters, operating on a platform with no core principles, to dilute right wing efforts to shrink government and remove its excessive overreach on our lives. (More or less)

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.

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 …

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.  …
