CBS’ 60 Minutes aired an investigative report on Sunday by Steve Kroft who interviewed Government Accountability Institute (GAI) President and Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Peter Schweizer which revealed how politicians on the hill abuse their leadership PACs by spending lavishly on themselves. However, when it comes to applying PAC money for its original proposed use of campaign contributions, some members can be downright stingy with their PAC donations.
The Center for Responsive Politics reported in early October that House Republican Leadership has raised a massive amount of funds through their various PACs. However, according to Open Secrets, twenty conservative Republican members, who The New York Times identified as a constant “thorn” in Boehner’s side, received very little if nothing at all from these leadership PACs and the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) during the 2012 election cycle.

The bottom line is that the GOP and the Democrats are both making government bigger, spending more money and moving us closer to bankruptcy and total disaster.
Both major parties are taking us to the same disaster at different rates of speed.
I won’t vote for RINO’s ever again in any situation.
Half of the American population, 95% of the media and 95% of the House and Senate, ready for a dictatorship. It’s not looking good for the home team.
The Whig party is ‘Rat moderate.
There are at least 80 liberals in the Senate. McConnell has signaled the Senate GOP will not be opposing the Obama agenda. There behavior would be no different with the GOP in the majority. We must proceed accordingly.
That’s a surprise...
...not.
Unfortunately most of the cloture votes with Ted Cruz that totaled 19 were just for show as well.
Over 90 of the senators are liberal or dare I say over 95.
RINO’s refuse to support conservative candidates, but we are always told that we MUST support them.
The answer should be never ever ever.
Let’s see - leftwingers want to undermine GOP chances for 2014. Obama won’t be able to suppress the TEA party, but if he can distance them from the GOP and split the vote - Dems will win.
Don’t fall for this garbage. What leader is going to support a group that wants to oust him?
Where are the articles about Dem leaders supporting conservative Dems?
Psyops, folks, simply psyops.
Interesting answer...
“...don’t blame conservatives when they lose AGAIN.”
“THEY”?
Not “WE”?
If you think voting for non-Democrats is a “losing strategy”, then I wonder how you would define YOUR “winning strategy”.

I left the Republicans early in W’s administration, and started calling myself a “conservative”, not a Republican. I would not shed a tear if the party dies, but would prefer to take it over and make it a conservative party once again. If that is not possible, then the loss of the House will be a necessary step to killing off the progressive GOP.
Never?
So, may I assume that YOU are working hard to find a Trey Goudy or a Ted Cruz or a Sarah Palin to represent you and your state? If so, GREAT! America needs hard-working CONSERVATIVE campaigners!
Or are you planning to just sit on your tuffet and drink another glass of “Dolce Far Niente”?
All those people who failed to vote for Romney really “showed” those worthless “RINOs”, didn’t they?
It's simple.
Run a conservative or lose.
Period.

It’s still a free country....
You can give your vote to Obama if you want to.
But I doubt all the “free stuff” in your goodie-bag will be worth it...
Boehner is stupid. He wants a united caucus but funds Conservatives a pittance or nothing. Its no wonder then those underfunded Conservatives don’t conform to his wishes.
The sooner you quit blaming conservatives for the losses of the liberal GOP elite and their cheating and bad-mouthing conservatives, the sooner we get some conservative representation.
As long as mouth-breathers keep pushing the liberal GOP brand, the GOP will lose.
Conservatives have to fight both Dems and GOP-E. Your McCain is an example of a leader in the GOP.

You’re right.
f-ing gop can kiss my hairy rear end.
scum like rubio, boehner, mc connel, are NO better than reid or pelosi
“I guess that is another reason to donate directly to the candidates”
Exactly. Look at Palin. She knows the GOP won’t give her any dough.
