Something is happening but you don't know what is is, do you, Mr. Jones

With the recent ascension of Tea Party activist Jack Kimball to head the state Republican Party, many moderates now say they are resigned to having little sway in shaping the state’s agenda.

They are called RINOs.

[samtheman]

You know what I say to the moderates in NH (and everywhere else):

...well, this is a family site. I’d rather not say.

If Pricilla Lockwood is worried about restrictions on abortion, and banning gay marriage, she should just be a democrat. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

[LibLieSlayer]

These are uber liberals that can't come to call themselves what they are... dims! I do not want them in my party... I do not want their sickness and evil to prevail any longer. With all due respect... all of these liberals can GFT!

There is a place for moderates in the GOP, just not in any leadership role.

The problem with RINOs is that they are all too willing to compromise on their principles and then once done, they have nothing to show for that, no bang for their buck; they are far too trusting of the democrats who are known for their perfidy and deception.

Once RINOs understand where this anger comes from against them, maybe they will not be so willing to comrpomise with democrats which is what the rank and file conservatives are demanding and which is why the Tea Party came into being and into such prominence.

Elections have consequences, don’t they?

Moderate Republicans, the practical-minded mainstay of the state’s venerable GOP,

Moderate Republicans, the practical-minded mainstay the traitorous sell-out democrate-lite liberals of the state’s venerable GOP... There fixed it.

[kindred]

Personally, a line needs to be drawn in the sand by conservatives and the rinos need to go home to the democrat party they adore.

“We know we don’t have much of a chance of convincing anybody of anything,’’ said Representative Priscilla Lockwood, a moderate Republican

That's because facts have a funny way of getting in the way of your convincing.

[Psycho_Bunny]

I never understand conservatism until it’s patiently explained to me by a liberal newspaper.

Turning right politically without becoming more moral is just a waste of time.

“and urged that officials no longer “bear faith and true allegiance’’ to the United States and New Hampshire, but rather, only to New Hampshire.”

How could I ever have faith in and allegiance toward a group of criminals in business suits who seek to enslave the American people from their ivory tower in the District of Criminals (D.C.)?

“We know we don’t have much of a chance of convincing anybody of anything,’’ said Representative Priscilla Lockwood, a moderate Republican, who said she fears that abortion will be restrict ed and gay marriage banned...

How does she distinguish herself from a democrat? She and her ilk are the reasons I quit calling myself a republican.

Sarah Schwitzer is a leftwing propagandist.

She was featured in Laura Ingraham's book "The Obama Diaries."

Stephanie Ebbert and Sarah Schweitzer of the Boston Globe wrote of the Boston Tea Party gathering: “Some have charged racism for its mostly white membership..." It was if white, working class people didn't have the right to object to government spending and high taxes.

Have you ever noticed that the Press never worries about moderate or conservative Democrats being sidelined by the hard line Statist Democrats.

My guess is Ms. Lockwood, Like Chrissie Whitman and Tom Kean, is one of those born with a silver spoon in her mouth, blue-blooded liberal eltists whose only interst in being a “Republican” is to protect her business interests and because her family traditionally disdained the Democrats.

These people have the political philosophy of an creampuff.

[PTBAA]

Funny, I consider someone who advocates the murder of the innocent unborn to be a dangerous extremist.

[andy58-in-nh]

Here we have some more faux-earnest hand-wringing from a Boston Globe liberal who is just so terribly, terribly concerned about New Hampshire becoming "too" conservative. Let's just say that it rings a bit hollow, coming from the same people who have worked tirelessly to turn our state into North Massachusetts.

(nice Dylan quote, BTW Jim).

[Fedupwithit]

This article is crap...

The Boston Globe writing about the goings-on in New Hampshire is kind of like me writing an article for the American Journal of Medicine.

Neither article would be used for anything other than bird cage liner...

[who knows what evil?]

“We know we don’t have much of a chance of convincing anybody of anything,’’ said Representative Priscilla Lockwood, a moderate Republican, who said she fears that abortion will be restrict ed and gay marriage banned...

Don't sweat it, Prissy...the new 'Republican' legislature has already announced that they have no intention of trying to overturn NH's new 'gay marriage' law.
