We have to switch gears from the local loonies to the state
level loonies. The latest going around
with the remnants of the once respected House Republican Alliance is that they are
circulating a letter for signatures, to Gene Chandler; the minority Republican
Leader, requesting that he removes Shawn Jasper from his Republican leadership
post. It was always my personal opinion that in any dealings I had with Jasper
I always felt he was untrustworthy and should never be put in any republican
leadership positions. I thought Gene
learned his lesson the last time.
Evidently Jasper offended the Free Staters who have taken
control of the HRA and they want him removed.
What Chandler isn’t aware of is HRA is supposedly going to make a move
of removing him from his position and replacing him with none other than Bully
O’Brien. If you remember Bully is the
former speaker that brought down the whole Republican agenda in NH, put the
Republicans once again in the minority and to add insult to injury threatened
to finish off the Republican survivors of the past election if they didn’t do
exactly what he says. Again, my opinion
is this will be a touch and go situation because I don’t think Gene has as many
old guard Republicans in the House to back his play or defense against the Free
Staters.
Has anyone heard how the little band of jolly Free Staters
are doing about getting NH to secede from the union? You just can’t make this stuff up.
WOW boys and girls isn’t this what every Howdy Doody fan
wants running their agenda and state.
I have said it before and I’ll say it again, Concord is no
longer about good representation it is about, money, control and power.
