If a liberal Republican is running against a conservative Republican, they will pour as much dough as possible into the liberal’s race.

The Senate Committee wonders why it can’t get a group to vote together. All they have to do is look in the mirror. I also will not send them money because I am sure they are going to support Roy Blunt for MO Senate. Roy is tainted like Jack Murtha.

How can you call yourself a fiscal conservative when you are one of the biggest “Pork” producers in Congress.

It is time to stand up and take back the senate with candidates like Pat Toomey and other fiscal conservatives. The fiscal health of our nation is much more important than anyother issue right now.

The activities of the Republican party and its various organs has descended into self parody.

In Florida we have the opportunity to nominate a senatorial candidate who is potentially a future superstar in the party, dare I say young, clean and articulate, who is unabashedly conservative.

Instead, the NRSC is going to the mat to nominate a tax-and-spend, big government advocate with a lot of personal baggage.

In short, backing Crist is a losing proposition for the party in every conceivable way, right down to perhaps costing us the governorship during redistricting.

The only way we can rein this bunch of yahoos in is by giving them a lot less money to play with.

As I have been saying the entire Republican House and Senate Leadership down the last man needs to go.

This is further proof of it - they both lack principle and are political inept.

The money should alll go to good candidates like Rubio. This race is great chance to both elect a real small government pro-liberty candidate against
a big government Obama loving Republican and a chance to send the Republican establishment and the media a message.

And I second on Missouri - Blunt needs to go retire.

I tried to post a comment yesterday in response to the NRSC’s article re Crist’s endorsement but it still hasn’t shown up.

Must be because I referenced a 2004 CNN article about “Saving Specter” that discussed the $300,000 or so the NRSC gave Specter to help him defeat Toomey in that primary. I then accused them of supporting “Arlen Specter Lite” by endorsing Crist instead of Marco Rubio and wished them good luck with that.

They are so out of touch with America and the Republican base that I believe the whole lot need to go. I for one will not give them a penny as long as they continue on the current path that leads to the Left when they should be standing for core Republican principles such as limited government, lower taxes and fiscal conservatism.

corrupt, inept, treacherous and destructive to all that our country is founded upon.
They are however, blessed in thier opposition. Conservative priniciples may never again guide our nation when this is the best we can muster.
No suppport for the clueless.

As Reynolds says , we are in the very best of hands….

John Cornyn has one of my favorite Senators. He is a true conservative. I have no idea what’s gotten into him with this NRSC thing, but it is very disappointing. I encourage all of you to send him an invite to this facebook group. Let him know how disappointed we are.

That (supposedly) stands aside during primary season and allows local candidates to battle it out with whatever support they can get. After Republican candidates are chosen, the state folks distribute support (again, supposedly) based on how to maximize the number of GOP winners.

Why is the NRSC supporting anyone during the primary season?

Yes, I know, the NRSC is run by a bunch of incumbents bent on continuing incumbency, but they should still stay out of open and Dem seat primaries.

They should concentrate on getting whoever wins the primaries elected in the battle against the Democrats. The internecine fighting they’ve been supporting is just insane. Their attempts to meddle in primaries in order to select someone who is supposedly “more electable” has been responsible for many of our recent losses. They have forgotten the 11th commandment.

I’m not too comfortable with this open declaration of war against them. I am trying to build the party and I think this will add one more rift between people who should be working together. That said, I also don’t plan to give to the Senatorial committee for the reasons you cited. I will give to individual conservative candidates instead.

I have however, already given to the house committee. They seem to be a bit more welcoming to conservatives and as near as I can tell, less willing to meddle in primary battles.

Socialism doesn’t work. It looks nice on paper, but it’s been tried and it’s failed miserably every time (usually accompanied by widespread death and suffering).

How many times has one super bowl team run the plays the other Super Bowl team tells them to run? What about the World Series, does the pitcher normally throw the pitch the batter tells him to throw because it gives the pitcher a better chance to get the batter out. It doesn’t make any sense does it?

So why would we listen to what the liberals and the RINO’s are telling us to do? They are both saying the same thing, the republicans are dead unless they move to the center. When in the history of this country have liberals wanted anything from the conservative movement other than our utter failure?So what has changed? The answer is nothing. If they believed that conservative thoughts would destroy the Republican Party, common sense would tell you that they should encourage us to keep talking, yet they are telling us to shut up. Why???

It is easy, they are threatened by conservative thoughts. Moderates do not scare them because they believe in the same thing. Republicans should support Conservatives not Liberals dressed as Conservatives. I would rather lose the battle fighting on the right side than win the battle by becoming what I am fighting against. The simple truth is that your moral foundation does matter, so don’t compromise it.

for Redstate to take.

I believe it’s a first.

These guys need to get their principles straight. Crist is a RINO, Rubio is a true Conservative. Crist is a Tax-and-spend Obama Liberal, Rubio is not. Rubio would fight these unfair policies that the Obama Administration is jamming down our throats, while Crist would be an Obama Administration rubber stamp. Need I say more? Rubio is the better choice by far. Don’t send a dime to the NRSC until they get their principles straight.

>You know, I can slightly understand the NRSC getting into the Chaffee race, though it was a stupid waste and mismanagement of funds.

>I can kind of understand them getting behind Specter. Both he and Chaffee were incumbents.

It’s barely understandable that the NRSC supported them in the general election but they should never have supported them in the primaries. Now, of course, both are Democrats.

The NRSC not only betrayed Republican principles, they angered many of their base. Stupid. And now apparently, they are doing it again.

The FL State GOP, in the person of Chairman Greer, has just tried to Rule 11 Rubio. In other words, because of the “significant support” that Crist has already garnered, we don’t need a divisive primary. So they just won’t hold one.

I’m gobsmacked that we even have such a rule.

Fortunately, the effort has failed — thanks to the courageous vote of one woman (Sharon Day) who, while supporting Crist, is honest enough to state on the record “We have a process and it allows the voters to choose the candidate — and that’s called a primary.”

I agree with DON’T FUND THEM …. MUCH……

You get more with withholding some, but providing, perhaps only a $1 (Deli-story) as a protest donation insisting WE still intend to work STRONGLY and as forcefully as possible within the Party given any avenues possible.

The Deli-story provides the best example of how/why this would be the BETTER STRATEGY, imo….
