New Hampshire: Nhgop

Sununu Senior uncovers the vast "anti-growth" conspiracy of the phony climate change crisis, and how media are easily duped:
We need to recognize that for at least most of the next decade the real battle will be to win over public opinion and influence the policy makers. Unfortunately, standing between us and the public most of the time is the media. And the press seems to have bought the alarmist line, hook and sinker. They thrive on reinforcing the alarms.

I am often asked about the press. The question is usually something like "is the press biased or ignorant?" My answer is: Yes they are.

Republicans are beating up on President Obama for his 'big government spending' in a time of crisis, when only the federal government can pump oxygen back into the economy.  They're standing lockstep against all spending, including keeping the lights on in Washington.

But since the state of New Hampshire can't print money and can't run massive deficits, and since raising taxes is NEVER NEVER NEVER okay, what are Republicans criticizing Governor Lynch about these days?  This is the centerpiece of the NHGOP homepage right now:

ARGH! You tax and spend Democrats with your tax and spend Democrat spending cuts! NEW HAMPSHIRE DESERVES BETTER!

Hilarious as this blatant ideological 180 is, it demonstrates an important point: the only principle the Republican Party stands on in 2009 is that Democrats are bad.  And that's no way to put Country First.

Things I learned from the write-up on Jennifer Horn and her talk to Franklin Republicans.

* According to the Mayor of Franklin, if you love your country, your family, and God, then obviously you couldn't be anything else than a Republican. Which, logic would dictate, means that we all here hate our country, our families, and God.  Nice.

* According to Jennifer Horn, the Republican party was the driving force behind civil rights.

* If the NHGOP get on Twitter, they will win more elections.

* Jennifer Horn joins Judd Gregg in defying GOP Maximum Leader Limbaugh's call for Obama to fail.

The Big D scoops everyone else for the latest on the candidate roundup:
Jennifer Horn, a Republican and former radio talk-show host who challenged Hodes in 2008, has said she is strongly considering a bid for the Senate in 2010. Grant Bosse, whom Horn defeated to secure the Republican nomination last year, is also reported to be considering a bid.

Bass, Horn and Bosse are also reportedly considering campaigns for Hodes's House seat.

"You're in a spot right now where a lot of people are thinking of running, but no one is sure what they're running for yet," Ryan Williams, the communication director for the New Hampshire Republican Party, said.
