No offense to the burger joint- great food, but after having been forwarded an op-ed in support of the current immigration scheme, how could I resist?

NH GOP RINO’s, State Representative Stella Tremblay, and the Destructive Democrats….
High-level NH RINO’s (“Republicans In Name Only”) are at it again: Jennifer Horn, Gene Chandler, Steve Duprey, and Fergus Cullen are all in a tizzy over state Rep. Stella Tremblay’s recent thoughts on whether the Boston bombing might have elements of an “inside job.” In the Union Leader today, Cullen called Rep. Tremblay “delusional.” Well, whatever error in judgment she may be making, it is less egregious than “Republican leaders” who go out of their way to publicly attack a sitting Republican member of the State House. Here’s what I said today in response to a Union Leader article about it:
Talking? Shouldn’t you ask your Boss about “talking” to people first?
It seemed semi-coincidental that after I put up the posts on the NH GOP E-Board angst (I and II, with a side dish here) that I had a tweet sent my way by Kerry Marsh:
My take is that both Jim Foley and Steve Duprey DID their talking (in either a series of emails to a few, and then to more than a few) as well as talking to all of us via John DiStaso.
But I was rather bemused at the next notification – a retweet of Kerry Marsh’s tweet:
NH GOP – a riff on the E-board angst reported by DiStaso – Part II
Same column, but where Jim Foley expressed a hubris, it is easy to hear the frustration of former NH GOP Chair and current RNC Committeeman Steve Duprey. While Foley gets what he deserves, I have a bit more sympathy (yes folks, I did use that word voluntarily) for Duprey (reformatted):
Duprey said that especially after a poor GOP showing on election day, “Anyone who thinks you don’t need adequate resources in what has become a purple state is dreaming.”…He also said the party should have a “job description for the members of the state committee. “When I was chairman,” he said, “we used to have a guide of how many hours we expected of you. You had to help us recruit candidates, you had to train candidates, you had write letters and update our data base. And you must help us fund-raise.”
You know, I think this is a good idea – but it has to be done well ahead of time if it is going to be a formal responsibility. Given the poor results, things do need to change and…
Sidenote: hey, I wonder if what the consensus is on the E-Board really is given Foley’s remark (“Don’t think that the State Party did that badly in this election.“) and Duprey saying” a poor GOP showing”?
…given what the other side did, change in a major way. While what Duprey is preaching can be construed to be major, one thing is sure: you don’t spring it on people just before the picking of Members. and before the State Meeting. I will say, concerning what tasks and expectations may be required (once and future), they have not been communicated downward from the NH GOP well lately. This decree sure was a really bad example of poor thinking, poor planning, poor communication, and poor messaging. And the E-Board is/was surprised at the reaction?
From James Pindell’s Political Standing
Really? “Is there any truth to the rumor that next weekend Republican National Committeeman Steve Duprey will be challenged on the floor from an opponent from the right flank?” Interesting rumor…
