RNC: Hey, don’t blame us for Cuccinelli’s loss

ALLAHPUNDIT

... Fun fact: The RNC spent $9 million to help Bob McDonnell win the governor’s seat four years ago. This year, in a much tougher election, they spent $3 million on Ken Cuccinelli, with Cooch so strapped for cash at the end that he had to abandon the D.C. media market the last two weeks. Not all of his money problems were the RNC’s fault — McAuliffe dominated Cuccinelli in fundraising (as expected) and centrist outside groups like the Chamber of Commerce ignored him — but the big drop-off in spending between 2009 and 2013 naturally has people pointing fingers at Reince Priebus and company.

We’re getting a bad rap, says the RNC:

Republican National Committee allies are offering an interesting defense to critics saying the campaign committee could have done more to help the Virginia gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli: Blame former RNC chairman Michael Steele.....

That’s what makes it funny. It wouldn’t be public anyway it would be on my desk. ;-)

LOL, Go For It!!! B^)

Just support conservatives candidates directly and join your local GOP and change things at the top by starting at the ground up.

[stilloftyhenight]

RNC, that is a bold faced lie. Yes, you gave $3 million to Virginia, but it went for ALL races in the state and was spent on renovating gov headquarters there. Mark Levin called you out on this, so stop lying about your support for Cuccinelli.

“We weren’t anywhere NEAR that election! How could it be our fault?!!”

I got an email from Rience pumping up the conservative Christie victory. This is a big victory for the inclusive republican party. I wouldn't even waste my time responding to such delusional nonsense. How many elections do rinos have to lose before they pull their heads out of their asses?

I really have to get around to changing my party affiliation. I detest these (insert really bad and unladylike word here ending with ers)

LOL, I know what you're saying.

To keep it appropriate for family viewing, how about...

pretenders

Republicans pretend to be conservatives until it's actually time to support a true conservative.

I am of the opinion that one should simply return their envelope with a Tea Bag. Maybe they are smart enough to figure that out.

PHENOMENAL IDEA!!! I don't drink tea but I may buy a box of lipton just to do this with!! (Thank You!)
