I have to call this post that, because the other front page writers won’t let me use the word b*lls**t in a title or post.
But that is exactly what the National Republican Senatorial Committee is peddling this evening.
In a nutshell, the NRSC endorsed Carly Fiorina after spending months asking her to run for the Senate in California.
But, the NRSC refuses to actually use the word “endorse” because they know conservatives are already angry over their Charlie Crist endorsement.
So the NRSC invites some guy no one has ever heard of named Al Ramirez who has been in the California Senate race forever without raising any money to come to the NRSC in Washington to announce Ramirez’s race.
The NRSC then says “see, see, we aren’t taking sides in California like we are in pretty much every other state. Oh, and screw Chuck DeVore.”
Ramirez gets on Twitter and says that thanks to the NRSC he now as over 4,000 twitter followers. The NRSC is clearly cooler and better than Billy Mayes!!!!!
Coincidentally, he has an almost identical list of followers as Carly Fiorina, though she, amazingly, added 3,500 more than Ramirez in just about 24 hours.
Not surprisingly, virtually all of both Fiorina and Ramirez’s followers are porn and spambots. But dammit, they have a huge list of followers in 24 hours! They are quite popular with the virtual porn crowd!
Here’s where it gets interesting.
Ramirez deleted his post thanking the NRSC for getting him 4000 porn and spambot followers. We saved the screenshot and posted it.
The NRSC then cries to Leon that he should not have posted that without talking to them — after all they are so honest they speak of Senator Fiorina out of one side of their mouth and demand retractions that they’ve endorsed her out of the other side of the mouth.
At the same time the NRSC is crying foul, Al Ramirez gets on Twitter to say the NRSC never helped him get his twitter followers, despite having previously said EXACTLY THAT and then deleting it later.
How exactly does it help either Fiorina or Ramirez to be racking up porn and spambot followers on twitter? It does them both a disservice.
The NRCC and NRSC are both destroying their relationships with conservatives. If they want to run campaigns without conservatives, that’s fine, but we will do to the NRSC exactly what we are doing to the NRCC in NY-23.
By the way, why exactly is the NRSC so upset over this?
Because I’m sure NRSC would be horrified if the world and, more precisely, the Senate Republican Conference, knew the NRSC was buying twitter followers that consist of porn and spam in order to establish their new media street cred. At some point the Republican Conference in the Senate is going to have a WTF moment and people will be held accountable for this nonsense. And I bet it will happen right after Doug Hoffman wins on Tuesday in NY-23. The NRSC cannot possibly be so naive as to think we will not do to them what we have done to the NRCC if they don’t change their ways.

bs Friday, October 30th at 9:38PM EDT (link)These guys better get a clue, quickly. The Tea Party folks are done with protest and are now putting their money and their votes where there mouths ands signs are. The time is over when the NRCC and NRSC can shove any craptastic candidate they want to down our throats.
Decorum is fo’ suckas - unless it’s one of the good guys
They really have NO CLUE about the base of the party...
JadedByPolitics Friday, October 30th at 9:40PM EDT (link)they are pathetically inept in everything they do. They just don’t understand the computer skillz of the bulk of the base and how their STUPID DOG TRICKS are caught immediately. What they are doing is DESTROYING their party apparatus by showing they CANNOT be trusted with the inner workings of the Republican Party. Let me remind them of what the Republican was and could be again…
“A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers.
I do not believe I have proposed anything that is contrary to what has been considered Republican principle. It is at the same time the very basis of conservatism. It is time to reassert that principle and raise it to full view. And if there are those who cannot subscribe to these principles, then let them go their way.

JoeG Friday, October 30th at 11:26PM EDT (link)We had a few elected Republicans who are true conservatives show up. They were invited to speak. When they talked about getting rid of liberals in the Republican party the crowd went wild.
I had posted this earlier at another Blog.
nelsa Friday, October 30th at 9:49PM EDT (link)This was in response to a H/A post about the NRCC pulling out of the Hoffman race.
It does not matter whether it was a “cosmetic concession” or not. It was still an admission by the National GOP that they got the message that the base is not willing to accept the “reverse incrementalism” that has been taking place in the Republican party.
Whereas the Demcorats are able to move the electorate to the left in tiny increments over a long period of time, the GOP seems to be following right along by abandoning their principles.
If the National GOP allows this to continue them it will get what it deserves. Defeat after defeat.
There is always a time to draw a line in the sand and as Rush Limbaugh said last week, “It has begun.” ( http://voterubio2010.blogspot.com/2009/10/rush-limbaugh-it-has-begun.html )
I would rather lose near term elections (2010) by voting on principle than allow another RINO to go Washington and make a fool of him/herself.
They are all corrupt
Dave Friday, October 30th at 10:30PM EDT (link)I would love to see a 100% turnover in the House next November, and just start over from dead scratch with fresh people - people who aren’t beholden to anyone other than those who sent them there.
Yeah, I know it won’t happen, but still.

Our elected representatives have failed us.
Dave, in honor of Halloween, let's turn that around:
janis Friday, October 30th at 10:35PM EDT (link)“…and just start over from fresh scratch with dead people…”
Could it be any worse than what we’ve got now? And on the bright side, they won’t be needing those golden health care plans, Social Security and pensions. Can’t see ‘em getting all worked up about passing a health reform bill either. Win, win, win!
janis, that is an excellent idea
Dave Friday, October 30th at 11:03PM EDT (link)And the best part is, they won’t be able to vote, period.
I have been following what has been going on with Crist as well as this mess out in California, and I cannot find the words to describe my disgust.
I just hope Hoffman wins in NY next week, as I can’t think of a better way to drive the message through those thick heads roaming the halls of the RNC.
I had thought that Gov. Palin’s foot in Newt’s groin would have gotten their attention, but that didn’t really happen until today.
We have to put enough people in the House next November to stop Obama, and sending reach-across RINOs up there isn’t going to get it done.
Should we fail, well, I don’t even want to think about the hole we will be in as a nation come November of 2012.

Time to clean house completely, Dave.
janis Friday, October 30th at 11:17PM EDT (link)Michael Steele needs to be replaced and pronto. We need someone who is not afraid to take out the trash and give the halls of the GOP a vigorous cleaning. Stuff like what we’ve witnessed this week is what will kill us with the voters. There’s enough corruption and arrogance on the Left to turn their stomachs, we don’t need to be giving them additional reasons for nausea.
We don’t just need good people to run for office, we need to get rid of the fat and happy idiots who are only too happy to corrupt the process on our side as well.
Zombie politicians are preferable to this garbage. On the bright side, we can be assured out brains will be safe as this bunch has made it clear they have no use for them. None.

antisocial Friday, October 30th at 10:44PM EDT (link)with the GOP establishment moving so far away from conservatism. The most frequent responses I get from Tea Partiers in my area:
1>Throw the bums out.
2>Can’t defend people who are not true to what they say or do. You can’t trust them to do the right thing. One of my friends remarked “They are as straight as pretzels”.
3>Party organization seems to be shooing away conservatives and promoting squishes. It has become a club.
You see the effect in Hoffman in NY.
I hope NRSC will get back to senses.
What is to be done?
