US Congress

Democrats Are Full Of Schiff

by Ray Cardello

It may be a symbolic gesture, but the House Republicans passed a resolution on Wednesday to censure Representative Adam Schiff. This resolution passed on a party vote, but to censure a representative is the second highest penalty imparted on a House member, the highest being expulsion. The censure was based on the Republican consensus that … Read more

by

As the US midterm election season begins in earnest, candidates seeking party nominations start to make the rounds. Recently, Tim Baxter, a Seacoast state representative seeking the Republican nomination for New Hampshire’s First Congressional District (the seat currently held by Democrat Chris Pappas), visited a Gilford manufacturing company to discuss his campaign and hear from potential primary voters.

AOC May Get “Gerrymanded” Out of Her Congressional Seat?

by Skip

This is pretty funny. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was already passed over (er, snubbed) for a high visibility seat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee and this write up in the NY Post alludes to what may be happening to her next .

There’s Going Negative in a Republican Primary and Then There’s This Attack on Steve Negron

by Steve MacDonald

Have inside the beltway smear tactics infiltrated the New Hampshire CD-2 congressional primary? A recent Facebook ad claims that Steve Negron‘s campaign is 320 million dollars in debt.  Hey, if you’re going to lie, go big, right, that’s what the Democrats do.

Corey Lewandowski knows that the MSM polls are worse than whale snot

“I have no obligation to be honest with the media because they are as dishonest as anybody else” –

Congress as well.  And, of course, the MSM has had a YUGE self-righteous utterly shocked look on their face after Corey said that during his testimony to Congress this week.

Nashua GOP SteakOut – Steve Negron and Dick Hinch

by Skip

Next in line to speak at the Nashua GOP’s Annual SteakOut was a candidate for US Congress in NH’s Second CD, Steve Negron.  He’s everywhere we go, it seems: Pssst: (whispering) It’s almost as if he’s following us!

Nashua GOP SteakOut – MicroInterview: Steve Negron

by Skip

Now before anyone starts another rumor about GraniteGrok being in the tank for Steve Negron, let me point out two things: He’s the ONLY Republican candidate that has formally announced for US Congress He keeps showing up at the events we cover. Is that it, Steve, you’re stalking GraniteGrok (heh!)?  Naw but he IS working … Read more

“I fully support the Second Amendment!” – no you don’t, Mr. Edwards (Republican candidate for NH CD-1)

by Skip

First, let me state this: Groksters have decided to not put out an endorsement in the Republican Primary race in NH First Congressional District.  We’ve basically said “a pox on both their houses” for the dumpster fire that has become the norm this go around.  We interviewed both; an hour and a half with Andy Sanborn and two and a half with Eddie Edwards.  Both were gracious and we were allowed to ask pretty much any question that popped into our heads.  Both allowed us to video record their entire times and it was relayed that since not all of the Groksters couldn’t attend the sessions, we wanted them to be able to form their own views from the interviews.  We were also given permission, by both, to post the videos if we wanted to. To date, we have not.

Which brings me to the sign above.  It became clear that Mr. Edwards did not agree with it during our interview; I grow weary of politicians saying different things to different audiences. In this case, to we Groksters and then to others.

Facebook Doodling – more blithering from Andy Martin, the most experienced…

by Skip

More blithering from Andy Martin who is running as a Republican in NH’s First Congressional District.  He generally thinks he’s a big deal in the races he enters but generally ends up, in real life and in the real results, as a zero.  But he’s well known by the inside-politics people and pretty much, everyone knows he’s gonna sue somebody at sometime for something.  Let’s look at this first:

CNHT Taxpayer Family Reunion Picnic – Candidates for US Congress in CD-2

by Skip

CNHTLike NH’s First Congressional District (NH CD-1), there are plenty of candidates to look at/worry over (depending on your political point of view) in CD-2. It is different than CD-1 where it is an open seat (again, Carol Shea-Porter has grabbed the Congressional retirement gold ring and bailed).

Self-proclaimed uber-Progressive Annie Kuster is gunning for another term. How quaint that term “uber-Progressive” as she was certainly that back when she first ran and now the Democrat Party is going full communism. After all, just ask the Berni-bros in the Democrat Socialists Of America wing. They are dumping ALL pretense of just being socialists and are loudly proclaiming the wonders and delights of full-on Communism while tactfully ignoring that the Full Monty version of their now beloved Communism also resulted in over 100 million deaths of their own citizens in putting it into place. But hey, that’s why they use that “broken eggs/omlette” stupidity.

But back to the Republican candidates running in CD-2.

Denaro, Eddie … Read more

GraniteGrok reports: Annual Belknap County GOP Lake Winnipesaukee Cruise – Steve Negron

by Skip

Following Brian Belanger was his friend, Steve Negron.  Both are running for the US House of Representatives in NH’s Second Congressional District.  Like the others, Steve addressed the crowd on the M/S Mount Washington on Lake Winnipesaukee.

Note: it seems that a number of the candidates are prior military – many of them Air Force such as Steve Negron (Major, retired, Missile command).  Turns out that David Webb, the MC, is a prior Marine – and was egged on a bit by Al Baldasaro.  I think you’ll enjoy that the inter-branch rivalry that was brought up.

Full Disclosure: GraniteGrok has endorsed Steve in this election.
