Yesterday in the Wall Street Journal, Karl Rove sounded the alarm. Republicans are not doing as well as they should given the election dynamic. According to Rove, “Republican candidates and groups must step up if they are to substantially reduce that gap . . . . [R]educing the Democratic cash advantage will tip the needle in the GOP’s direction. That will only happen if Republicans open their wallets to candidates whom they may have never met, and, if they live in a battleground state, they clear their calendars to volunteer to identify and get out the vote.”
A few hours later, via the National Republican Senatorial Committee’s email list, Haley Barbour sent out a pitch for donations.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee can GDIAF, hell fire hopefully. Metaphorically speaking, of course.
The NRSC and its establishment hacks, consultants, and outside groups have spent the better part of year attacking the ethics of outside conservative groups, attacking conservative activists as racists and bigots, attacking vendors who dare help conservative groups and anti-establishment candidates, and doing everything they can to defend their status quo in an incumbent protection racket.
And now they find themselves short of funds in the general election. No kidding. Screw you all. I will not give you one damn penny.
I would vastly prefer a Republican majority to a Democratic majority, but I will laugh myself silly if the GOP loses because of guys like Pat Roberts. The Republican establishment has had such a vested interest in protecting their incumbents that they would rather lose and preserve incumbency than win with new faces.
I will help candidates. Heck, I gave money to Mitch McConnell. I even gave money to Thom Tillis. But I will not give one damn penny to the NRSC and I am gleeful that panic has set in there. And frankly, I absolutely and positively hope Jerry Moran spends the next few months incontinent worried about his own home state.
The NRSC made quite sure everyone knew they did not want conservatives in the primaries. Well now they can have the general to themselves too. GDIAF NRSC. Metaphorically speaking, of course.
Oh, and #RememberMississippi. You be sure to remember Mississippi, Haley.
maybe because none of them are bothering to talk about REPEALING OBAMACARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope conservatives can refrain from drinking the Kool-Aid this time around.
I share this view. Would prefer a majority. Don’t really care. It won’t make a massive difference in policy outcomes. Court appointments are important but 51 republicans vs 49 won’t really have much impact. Most judges will still get through when just one or two republicans are needed to confirm.
Would like to see Reid removed but if he has 48-50 seats he will still wield signficant power. My dislike for the NRSC is almost as high as the democrats. They have been utterly pitiful for a decade or more.
This is kinda funny. I keep thinking about the Lizards in teh Hitchhiker’s guide books.
McConnel is one I can try to get rid of. It’s a local thing.
You are so right!
The GOPe doesn't stand for anything. They are running for office with no platform other than they aren't for obama.
Which do you have less faith in - Obama defeating ISIS or GOP repealing ObamaCare?
I know for me the final straw was when they exempted themselves and their staffs from obamacare, but let it be imposed on me and mine. I will only vote for, donate to, and work for conservatives.
obama might actually be forced to do something about ISIS if they become a big enough threat to Iran's plans. The GOPe will never repeal obamacare. They will "fine tune it". They will "run it better".
Forget policy.
Forget principle.
Forget all that ‘politics’ stuff...............
GIMMIE MONEY, GIMMIE MONEY. GIMMIEGIMMIEGIMMEGIMME.........
If some of the posts on this site are indicative there are a few “conservatives” who will turn the kool-aid pitcher up and chug it like they were at a college freshmen kegger. All I can conclude is they like the lash.
