Didn’t They Do This For Specter and Crist Too?

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  June 18th, 2010 at 12:58 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

Remember, John Cornyn said the NRSC had learned its lesson.

Remember, John Cornyn said the NRSC would now stay out of primaries.

Why then is the Wall Street Journal reporting John Cornyn is off to Colorado to campaign with Jane Norton?

First, it is a recognition that Ken Buck‘s campaign is ahead of the NRSC’s chosen campaign.

Second, it is a recognition that the NRSC has the integrity of Charlie Crist and Arlen Specter, both of whom the NRSC supported.

The NRSC lost Nevada to Sharron Angle and immediately certain Republican staffers mumbled to the press that Nevada was a goner. When Crist jumped from the Republican Party, some Republican staffers moaned that Florida was gone too. They did the same with Kentucky.

Ken Buck leads Jane Norton, Sharron Angle leads Harry Reid, Rand Paul leads that guy in Kentucky, and Marco Rubio is winning in Florida.

Oh, but the NRSC’s Mark Kirk is floundering behind a mobster in Illinois. Bob Bennett is headed to the ash heap of history along with Arlen Specter. Let’s not mention the NRSC’s candidate in California.

Folks, conservatives must make a stand in Colorado and we must stand with Ken Buck. Jane Norton’s campaign is relentlessly attacking Ken Buck instead of building herself up. Why? The establishment — the TARP voting bailout kings of the Republican Party — fear a man like Ken Buck allying with Jim DeMint.

Ken Buck can win if we help.

    Isn’t there a good chance this just further gins up support for Ken Buck? It seems the NRSC didn’t get the memo: they are the problem and we’re fixing to take care of the problem.

  • redtillimdead

    What, you’d prefer Babs so you have to put down the Republican candidate?

  • http://andrightlyso.com/ civil_truth

    …rather than letting voters decide and then throwing their support in the general.

    Instead the NRSC is throwing their weight around in the primary, and then failing to support (or even) attack the nominee if they voters chose a different candidate than the NRSC’s preferred choice.

    This is completely backwards and indicates a monarchist mindset – which is going to take a grassroot rebellion to take back the party aware from these folks who don’t believe in representative democracy.

  • Marcus_Traianus

    ..Keeping around the “old guard” and putative leaders will be the Republican Parties Achilles heel and a ticket right back to the wilderness.

    Like all politicians, they see the coming storm will largely benefit Republicans, and are giddy with the thought of being relevant again. But they are career politicians who are creatures of habit that will revert back to old ways and inclinations. Should this come to pass, we will all collectively pay with a continued downfall of our country. For the party, its reputation will continued to be besmirched by a bunch of people putting their own interests above the collective will of the people.

    Any “contract’ for moving forward should include a requirement for new leadership in the House, Senate and party organizations including the NRSC and NRCC.

    so this

    of my “Obama’s gonna get it anyway fund” in the primaries. I figure the “Party Apparatus” will have to get behind the GOP candidates whether they’re particularly enamored with them or not (cf. Toomey and Rubio).

    So, I’m donating my entire stash during the primaries in races where there is a true-blooded conservative running against an ‘establishment’ conservative when it’s convenient wannabe.

    Thus, this post prompted a $100 donation to Buck who I’ve added to the list of Mike Lee, Tim Scott, Graves, Dan Benishek, DeVore, Stutzman, Rubio (before Crist bolted) Haley, etc. Haven’t won ‘em all but I figure it’s the only way to either send a message to the “Establishment” and/or just outright replace them.

  • chihank

    After 2010, I wnat DeMint to be the NRSC Chair. There are plenty of targets in 2012. DeMint can recruit good candidates to take on Webb, Brown, McCaskill, and Casey.

    Could? As if there is any doubt? Good grief.

    It seems like a difficult job to nail down a coffin lid while lying inside, but somehow Cornyn is managing to do just that, politically speaking.

  • sch1168

    a job in the NRSC so Ken Buck can have the nomination?

    Oh, wait. Oops, it’s the other side who does that.

    Frankly, I’m sick to death of party brass nominating candidates in Colorado. They need to keep their fingers out of our pie and let us pick. Grrrr.

  • ralatredstate

    but on this one, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt until I see something to show he’s using NRSC resources to support Norton.

    And I won’t call him a RINO when he ranks more fiscally conservative (NTU http://www.ntu.org/on-capitol-hill/ntu-rates-congress/members/senate/john-cornyn.html) than the median R.

    But I agree with chihank – DeMint for NRSC Chair!

  • fpete13527

    Given their stand to continue to support liberals……even after both of their poster candiudates defected, it is clear that their inner motives are liberal and that they lack integrity. And……there are practically no GOP Senators who are willing to stand up against this RINO liberal mentality……because most have the same mentality.

    The current GOP Senate is a walking, wimpy, liberal disgrace. I am tired of them disrupting all the quality work that people are doing to take back the country.

    I say throw out 90% …..or more…of the entire GOP Senate in the fall. They are unwilling to take a stand for conservatism and they are unwilling to demonstrate courage and leadership.

  • winthisone

    the more $$$ I give Ken Buck. I am absolutely done with the good ol’ boys.

    …no need to get any panties in a bundy over it if EE doesn’t necessarily wanna get out his pom-poms about her…it’s quite understandable.

    …I mean it’s your money, so do what you want, but if unseating Harry Reid isn’t priority 1 among our Senate races, I don’t know what is.

    Obviously the top priority among House races must be Benishek.

    Please don’t take my reply the wrong way eburke. Have a nice day.

  • houstoneagle

    the crickets chirp by and large here at redstate. A golden opportunity to send a RINO packing to his long overdue retirement, but no, everyone wants to be neutral and trash the clearly conservative alternative…no matter McCain would, if re-elected, be serving in the Senate into his 80s.

    Fortunately their primary is still a couple months away, so there is time to sway the neutrals. Who do you think is more likely to cast their secret ballot to change up the Senate leadership in January? McCain? or Hayworth?

  • houstoneagle
  • deano64

    So many here are willing to accept another 6 years of McCain trying to undermine everything we’re trying to accomplish here.

  • takemccain2

    I’m discouraged by the fact that people will believe his lie about wanting the border secured, a lie which is so outlandish when anyone can search online to see what he’s actually said about the issue for the last 5 years.
    Some of the suckers who will be conned into voting for him are the same ones McCain referred to as “bigots” and “nativists.” The man is a major a-hole and deserves to be defeated.
    It also wouldn’t surprise me to learn that Norton is a McCain prodigy just smacking at the bit to get into the Senate and help McCain continue to undermine conservatives and this country.

  • Scope

    with his past support for Crap and Tax. He’s been quiet about that issue lately, since he is trying to deceive the voters, yet again, that he has gone right. No worries, he has his lapdog Graham holding his place, with Crap and Tax, while he continues to deceive the people.

    Personally I could care less if Hayworth is the Republican version of Alan Greyson, or The Franken, with things he says, as long as he votes correctly.

  • takemccain2

    I couldn’t agree more.
    We should encourage Senator Cornyn to go full ahead with his plans as his passe attitude towards the party base will only result in increased support for Ken Buck.
    To say I’m disappointed in Cornyn is an understatement. To say I’m surprised though would be untruthful. These guys running the GOP just don’t get that they serve at our pleasure and that power is not their birth-right.
    We need more Bucks, Rubios, Lees and Pauls, less Grahams, McCains, Bennetts and maybe even Cornyns.
    We don’t need to let up. We need to work hard, give when we can and keep the word out there that government OF the people, BY the people and FOR the people will not perish from the face of the Earth.
    God Bless all these candidates who are battling the establishment. They all deserve to win.

  • eburke

    ’cause that primary’s done and there’ll be no shortage of money that the GOP will throw at Nevada to get Reid out. I mean, after all, Mitch may not give a rat’s rear end about the conservative movement but I have no doubt that he’s drooling over the prospect of getting Harry’s office.

    I have MAJOR issues with Fiorina as she is a hand-picked McCain acolyte that is likely to go along with Amnesty and Cap-And-Trade. The less McCain-like candidates the win primaries, the happier I will be and the better off conservatives will be.
    That being stated, Fiorina is the nominee and should get support in her race against Boxer, a woman who is a fringe lunatic. Once Fiorina gets elected we will need the conservative leadership to keep her in line. McCain needs as few allies as possible. He has already damaged the party enough. We don’t need him being able to cobble together another ‘Gang’ to undermine what the voters want. If Fiorina can be kept out of his orbit then she might end up being a decent choice. It will require vigilance on our part.

    The NRSC supported both of the establishment moderates in the Senate race, Coats and Stutzman, but not the more right-wing anti-establishment Congressman Hostettler.

  • http://www.nighttwister.com NightTwister

    That’s not what this race is about. And Cornyn’s involvement (NOT NRSC) isn’t why most are opposed. They way it’s going now, I expect a lot of “conservatives” to stay home in November if Norton wins the Primary. Another six years of liberal Bennet is not what I’m interested in having. You guys won’t have to live with the damage you’ve done.

  • betsyred

    Country club, blue-blood GOP establishment politics at their finest. The good Senator from AZ ought to spend his time doing fundraisers to help his nearly bankrupt state defend itself against Holder’s law suit on illegal immigration. Cornyn picked Charlie Crist, too, and as it turns out, ol’ Charlie’s going to be the best friend BHO has seen in a long, long time. Plus, isn’t there a contentious senate primary in AZ that maybe Mr. Cornyn could spend his time on? If he’s worried about Ken Buck, what happens if JD Hayworth goes to Washington? GOP establishment insiders continue to cling bitterly to their ideals that they, and they alone, know best in choosing candidates. Afterall, they’ve presided over the elections of Pelosi/Reid/Obama. What could go wrong in ’10 and ’12?

  • http://www.nighttwister.com NightTwister

    It is in fact the conservatives that stayed home in the 2008 CO-4 race and is the reason why Betsy Markey is our Representative. Same for the Gov. race in 2006. Same for the Senate race in 2006. Yes, they got the representative that they deserved, but much ammunition was given to their opponents by some conservatives during the Primary, just like what’s happening now. They stayed home because they weren’t going to vote for another RiNO, even though the candidate wasn’t one. They’d just been successfully painted that way by others, just like what’s happening now in the CO Senate race.

  • Richard Mullins

    It doesn’t rot conservatives to the core like being NRSC chair. It would have been better to find a Orrin Hatch senator to run it. As for a replacement for John Cornyn in 2014, I want Ted Poe but that might for other reasons that I won’t tell.

    DeMint for Majority leader in the 112th congress is great and has a good ring. There might have to be a Draft DeMint thing going on.

  • winthisone

    Not only did she join with many democrats and liberal Republicans to push for the largest tax increase in Colorado history, she continues to support it as having been “necessary.”. I don’t want a senator who thinks more taxes are “necessary” unless we are truly in a national emergency..

    You can forget about what the Democrats might hear from us. They have it all. They even have noted Norton’s little fling that produced $158,000 from the hedge funds.

  • E Pluribus Unum

    Or maybe that’s CAT, ain’t that the truth. I subscribe to the Achance school of “first day chores” for any new Republican president, governor, cabinet member, congressman, or appointee at any level for any position for any reason.

    Fire every single person you have the authority to fire, and probably a couple that you don’t. And it doesn’t matter if you are replacing a Republican, because there’s a 99% chance THEY did not do that.

  • AceInTX

    staying home is entirely different than either quitting and endorsing the Democrat in the race, or jumping to the other side altogether….

    Here’s a thought…if that’s true…how about supporting candidates that will ensure an energized base and make sure they turn out to vote and volunteer for GOTV efforts….

    Which brings us back to the subject of this article….instead of whining about conservatives wanting someone to vote fore instead of being forced to vote for the lesser of two evils….why doesn’t the establishment of this party…and the cheerleaders of that establishment stay out of the primaries and let the voters choose who they want to have represent them

  • Achance

    when they don’t get their way. Most of the ones going around howling about the Constitution here are either Paultards or Black Helicopter guys or both anyway, but since their Libertarian, Constitutional, or Alaska Independence parties can’t elect anybody, they try to influence the Republican Party. What most of them can’t seem to understand is that the “R” is for Republican, not Redneck. ‘Course, when they don’t get their way on platform planks, party officers, or when their latest savior of “constitutional conservatism” gets three percent in the Republican Primary, they either go to their true home, one of the third parties, or they just stay home. Actually, I prefer that they just stay home because that is less likely to elect the Democrat than a bunch of support going to a third party because rising poll numbers for the third party has a synergy that can really siphon off significant votes from the Republican and elect the Democrat That’s how we got eight years of a liberal Democrat in one of the most Republican states in the Country with Knowles. The 10K or so votes that went to the Constitutional Party would have handily re-elected Sen. Stevens instead of sending a liberal Democrat to the Senate from Alaska.

  • mbecker908

    The net result is the same, Democrats get elected. At least people like Scuz in NY have the common decency to burn a bridge when they jump. The airheads who stay home “on principle” are the ones who should rot in hell. I can’t find the stats, but I’m pretty sure it “conservatives” staying home that elected Obama.

    As far as the “establishment” getting involved, they always will. Period. The only option is to become the establishment. Oh, and FWIW, the establishment of the Republican Party isn’t a whole lot more successful electing their candidates than BO is electing his.

    On that note, you’ll certainly approve of the establishment staying out of the race in Arizona, huh?

  • chihank

    This week, Angle & Paul met with GOP Senators on how to win their general elections. John McCain & John Ensign agreed to become co-mentors to Sharron Angle. The Dems are thinking of making past statements of Rand Paul & Sharron Angle into a national referendum on the GOP. The NRSC thinks they can counter the Dems by attempting to mainstream Angle & Paul, avoid any lightning rod issues.

    Not from Utah but must wax a little sentimental about Hatch. Way back in the 1980s and 1990s, he was a real conservative warrior on the Senate Judicial Committee. If you like Clarence Thomas and Ollie North being where they are today, to wit, Thomas on SCOTUS and North on FOX, not in jail (that was another committee but Hatch was on that one too), you must acknowledge what Hatch did – read their books they sure do – and fighting Joe Biden who was opposite him on that committee, as well as all the other big name Dems back then. He was a conservative guerilla, through R majority and R minority. I guess so many years just wears one down and Washington gets too familiar and it is time for the younger ones to gently lead him to pasture, if he will go. Fought many a good fight.

    second…I stop far short of wishing people to burn in hell…

    third, I don’t approve of staying home when faced with a socialist/communist scum bag hell bent on destroying this country…but that doesn’t change the need for this party to give people a reason to vote. Exciting the base and getting them to turn out is mission one in any sound campaign and any healthy party puts that as the first order of business in any campaign…Antagonizing and turning off your base is poison for any party…but somehow the establishment of the party seems hell bent on doing just that.

    Y’all do not need the NRSC. Do a couple of blogs and raise tens of millions of dollars for the candidates you endorsed.

    1. I’ve never accused you of either encouraging people to stay home or vote for a third party.
    2. When you make your points on this subject you get wound up in broad generalities when you really need to be discussing specifics. By making general statements you give the impression that if your anointed candidate isn’t in the general you’re taking your ball and going home. That’s the perception you give.

  • Oz

    The snarks at the NRSC, Crist, Spector, etc are just fine.

    But I thought this site believed in “convervatives in the primary and REPUBLICANS in the GENERAL.”

    Yet, you’re running down Kirk and Fiorina.

    In case you haven’t noticed, Illinois and California are a TAD bit more liberal than Kentucky and Utah so the fact that these two aren’t winning is just a straw man that you don’t need for an otherwise strong argument.

    DeVore would be completely out of the race in Cali if he had won by now and Fiorinia at least has a shot especially if important conservatives like yourself get behind her instead of throwing rocks at her whenever you get the chance.

  • Oz

    I actually feel much more strongly than that.

    The key is to put in the most conservative Senator that we can from any given in state.

    Taking out Bennett makes sense because Utah is 100% of the time going to put in a Republican. Paul makes sense in Kentucky because of the same thing.

    Would I (who personally loathe Carly Fiorina) LOVE to see Fiorina and Kirk join the US Senate… YOU BET I WOULD.

    They are the most conservative of candidates that we are EVER going to get from those states. I love the Maine sisters too for the same reason.

    Now, in Georgia, we could use a good candidate ( Erick? ) for Senate to go against our current GOPers thenext time they run. Both are big governement guys and both would have a very good chance of being replaced by a Republican if they could be beaten in a primary.

    But this cycle is NOT the cycle to sacrifice seats. We must have a chance to filibuster in the Senate.

  • http://www.nighttwister.com NightTwister

    Jim DeMint and his Conservative Fund should stay out of Colorado?

  • MF

    You’re completely wrong about DeVore. First, much of California hates Boxer. Elmer Fudd could garner a strong percentage against her. DeVore doesn’t have the name recognition of Fiorina, but if he had won the nomination, there is still a very good chance he could have taken the Senate seat. I will agree that Fiorina has even a better chance than DeVore would have had, but even though CA is pretty liberal, it’s not nearly as liberal as you make it out to be. A lot of them are beginning to see the light. (I use ‘them’ only because I have been a Californian who was never blinded in the first place, but I’ve lived here in CA for 27 years now, having been properly born and raised in a very conservative town in Ohio before graduating from college and then moving west.) I don’t think anyone could unseat Feinstein right now, but Boxer is extremely vulnerable, and would be to any (R).

    Yes, rock-throwing at Fiorina is to be ceased. But I haven’t seen anything worse than a little nose-holding in her direction. My guess is that’s still allowed, especially if done by providing a constrast in conservative versus RINO.

  • http://www.nighttwister.com NightTwister

    Seriously, that’s your argument? Devore couldn’t get Republicans to vote for him, but Independents and Progressives would?

    Some people just need to learn to let go.

  • http://www.hakubi.us/ Neil Stevens

    Any of the three could beat her, I maintain.

    DeVore in particular showed he can do a lot with a little, and he wouldn’t have a little once he became the showcase and got to campaign as the nominee.

    Boxer is going down I tell you. DeVore could have done it, Campbell could have done it (incredibly), and Fiorina WILL do it.

    so I know a bit about the landscape as well.

    However, that’s not my point.

    My point is that we are suppossed to support the Republicans after the primary and this diary (as of my comments) does not meet that criteria.

    as you do attacking Republicans who don’t meet your self-imposed standards, we’d be a lot closer to defeating Comrade Obama. We’re doing a better job of defeating caucus Republicans than of defeating Democrats right now. See, e.g., this site’s endorsement of Murkowski’s opponent.
