Pretty much sums up what we at GraniteGrok are all about (emphasis mine):
We write about a set of principles and compare everyone to them, regardless of party. Without principles as a litmus there are no limits to what any elected official can or will do.
We also write about Republican principles outlined in their own party marketing material–that Platform thingy, and rightly ask why we are the bad guys for being better at being what Republicans claim they are than they are themselves.

That last one? For which I am very grateful. Here, Steve has nailed what we are and do as while most of us are registered Republicans, being such is merely secondary (or tertiary or even quartanary) to what we believe. We simply demand that Republicans should be following their own principles; do that and Republicans would immediately vaporize most of our “blog fodder” universe. So, NHCitizen, there’s yer answer.
