I wonder if Republican Committeemen are even listening to the Republican grassroots. Or do they just think they know best? That’s what they thought two years ago. They thought the RNC needed a black man as the face of the Republican Party to take on Barack Obama. They thought the consultants knew best. Now look at where we are. Maybe, just maybe, if the Republican | Read More »
I hate to have to ask the question, but in light of this news broken by Michelle Malkin today, we must. Scozzafava is the proud recipient of the Margaret Sanger award given by an abortion group in New York. Margaret Sanger was a noted eugenicist. Though Planned Parenthood, the group Sanger found, denies it, evidence from a variety of sources points out that Sanger was | Read More »
Well, we praised the RNC for staying out of NY-23 just last week, but they have had a change of heart. They are in with reckless abandon. We must redouble our efforts to make sure Scozzafava loses.
Is it really helpful for the leader of the Republican National Committee to say “I agree with you. And when stuff gets in the crapper, you gotta clean it out” after the host of the radio show he is on just spent a few minutes bashing the presumptive Republican nominee for the United States Senate in Missouri, Roy Blunt? The radio host, Vincent David Jericho, | Read More »
Wow. Well done, Michael Steele. Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele says that he might support primary challengers against the three GOP senators who voted in favor of the stimulus package. Asked if he was open to the move during an interview Monday on Fox News’ “Your World with Neil Cavuto,” Steele said, “Oh, yes, I’m always open to everything, baby, absolutely.” Let’s be clear. | Read More »
UPDATE: Blackwell drops out. Endorses Steele. Has the RNC gone the way of the country and put a black man in charge? Looks that way. MSM won’t change the narrative though, I guarantee. Ballot 4: Dawson 62 Steele 60 Saul 31 Blackwell 15 UPDATE BY JEFF: Duncan withdraws Ballot 3: Steele 51 Duncan 44 Dawson 34 Saul 24 Blackwell 15 Ballot 2: Duncan 48 Steele | Read More »
I have, for some time, been on a tirade against the self-dealing, back scratching, and incestuous relationship among GOP consultants. The Democrats have had their own problems with the issue. To be sure, there are some consultants and consulting firms that are must use. But not all of them. To his credit, Michael Steele recognizes the same problem and sent out an email to RNC | Read More »
There are two men at the top of list for RNC Chairman: Mike Duncan and Katon Dawson. One of them will be the next chairman. I’m not saying this because I want them, though truth be told I’d be happy with either. I’m saying this because I’ve been surveying RNC members and people on the outside. It seems very clear this is where we stand. | Read More »
This weekend I received some troubling news regarding Mike Duncan’s potential continued chairmanship at the RNC. To be sure, he is not involved and this is probably standard political chatter, but it is something to make note of. This weekend individuals who will be involved in the election process for the next RNC Chairman told me of being cornered by two Senior Administration Officials trying | Read More »
I’m off the NYC for work. Never been up there in the winter time. Before I leave, I wanted to make sure you all saw this great video from Katon Dawson, the South Carolina GOP Chair running for RNC Chairman:
A few weeks ago we asked the men running to be Chairman of the RNC to respond to ten issues about which RedState has concerns. Previously Saul Anuzis responded. Yesterday, concurrent to releasing is Conservative Resurgence Plan, Ken Blackwell responded. Unfortunately, my internet connection died and I’m just now able to post his responses. – Erick ———————————- – Please state your qualifications for the job | Read More »
Just got this in email. The leadership of the CRNC is coming out for Blackwell. Tell ya what, I’ll give you my frank and candid thoughts later today on the subject. It’s sure to piss off everybody to one degree or another. Members of the Republican National Committee: After two difficult election cycles our party is at a crossroads. We have obligations to our ideals | Read More »
Ken Blackwell has just released his conservative resurgence plan. There are a few things to note: 1. His plan is explicitly about returning the GOP to the conservative grassroots, which I agree is where it needs to be. 2. His plan includes a sizable technology plan to put the grassroots in charge of the party. 3. Like a true “states rights” guy, his plan involves | Read More »
We need to mobilize. It is extremely important. As you are probably aware, Americans for Tax Reform is having a debate tomorrow for the candidates for RNC Chairman. Individuals can vote for the best questions to be asked. Paultards have gone into the ATR website to disrupt the process. And it is very clear that they have absolutely no freaking clue what the RNC Chairman | Read More »

According to NRCC records, the NRCC paid FLS Connect $1,022,630.51 during the last cycle. The | Read More »
To recap: Chip Saltsman sent out a CD of songs to RNC members for Christmas. One of the songs was “Barack the Magic Negro,” a parody featured on Rush Limbaugh. Apparently Mike Duncan does not listen to Rush Limbaugh, nor do the members of the MSM, all of whom are piling on Saltsman. As CNN notes The song, set to the tune of the 1960s | Read More »
Morton Blackwell sent a very lengthy questionnaire to the candidates for RNC Chairman. He has gotten back his responses. Matt Lewis posted them in full at Townhall.com. In reviewing them, I have to say I am very impressed by Ken Blackwell’s responses. That said, I continue to touch base around the country with RNC folks and continue getting the impression that Mike Duncan is | Read More »
