RNC Cuts Off Moore

The national party pulls out of a fundraising pact with the Alabama candidate, further isolating him.

The Republican National Committee is withdrawing its support for besieged Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, leaving him increasingly isolated as he confronts charges of sexual misconduct with teenagers.

The RNC is pulling out of a joint fundraising agreement it had with Moore, according to a senior party official briefed on the decision. It is also canceling a field program it had set up ahead of the state’s Dec. 12 special election. The committee had about a dozen paid canvassers in Alabama working for Moore. It will no longer transfer any money to the race.

RNC Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel is expected to brief committee members on the decision on a Tuesday conference call.

Even before allegations surfaced against Moore, the committee believed he was in trouble. Internal RNC polling conducted around a week ago showed him leading his Democratic opponent by just two percentage points. The committee has been evaluating its options about what to do about Moore over the last few days.

The move comes as the party intensifies its effort to pressure Moore out of the race. On Monday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called on the candidate to “step aside.” McConnell also said he believed the accounts of Moore’s female accusers, who told the Washington Post that Moore pursued them when they were teenagers and he was in his 30s.

Disgusting pigs, RNC.

Based on what???? Allegations and innuendo??

What about basing something on actual EVIDENCE???

Ooooooh, how i loathe McTurtle and the RNC.

[Rastus]

I guess she’s a Romney after all.

[fortheDeclaration]

To hell with the RNC!

[fortheDeclaration]

Of course they are, they also wanted Hillary!

[gov_bean_ counter]

...because McTurtle has a better chance of keeping his majority leadership position with one fewer vote against him.

[butlerweave]

Did they do the same to Trump ?

Ooooooh, how i loathe McTurtle and the RNC.

Meanwhile a corrupt Senator like Menendez is getting due process and still has his seat.

We're witnessing a new level of stupid coming from the RINO leadership, it's infuriating.

I love it when they call me. It gives me a chance to curse them up one side, and down the other.

And the funny thing is that there are Landrus (landrieus) in power in Louisiana.

Ah yes, the Star Trek episode with people who were controlled by Landru, who was a computerized entity. People were absorbed by Landru. They behaved in a robitic manner except for periodic “festival” when they went wild.

[caww]

Fix is in.....

[Mark17]

Ooooooh, how i loathe McTurtle and the RNC.

I don’t know who I despise more, them or the rats.

Did so last night. I agree!! Send Judge Moore a Donation for the preservation of our beloved Country!

Hate to hijack a thread but this scumbag RYAN is on FOX right now lying his ass off

The POINT is that we didn't elect a GOP majority to RAISE TAXES ON THE MIDDLE CLASS-PERIOD.

This nonsense of subsidizing high tax States is exactly that- NONSENSE.

The people writing this tax bill are lying Goldman Sachs oligarchs Banksters, the same scumbags that were “too big to fail” and got the taxpayers to bail them out back in 2008 that now want a huge tax cut for corporations and want the upper middle class to pay for it.

CUT SPENDING

DO NOT RAISE TAXES ON THE MIDDLE CLASS

This bill raises taxes on a family of four in ANY State, whether they have a State Income tax or not.

Banksters Mnuchin and Gary Cohn from Goldman Sachs are writing the tax bill.

This is an attempt at the biggest heist in history.

“Mnuchin is a member of the “Big Six”, a group of politicians convened to write a tax reform proposal that incorporated input from members of the House of Representatives, Senate, and White House. In addition to Mnuchin, the group consists of Senators Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and Mitch McConnell (R-KY); Representatives Kevin Brady (R-TX) and Paul Ryan (R-WI); and National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn”.

Do you trust these 2 creepy scumbags or believe a goddamned word they say?

I sure as hell don't

They need a trip to the Guillotine WITH RYAN FIRST IN LINE, not running around trying to steal cash from HARD WORKING MIDDLE CLASS TAXPAYERS!!!!!

Even an idiot can see from this bar chart that FEDGOV is out of control.

Yearly spending has doubled too, from 2 trillion to 4 trillion since 2001.

Rather than cut spending, the GOP wants to stick it to MIDDLE CLASS taxpayers THAT ACTUALLY PAY TAXES, give corporations a break (windfall that won't be passed down to employees), and pass it off as a TAX CUT

OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!

“Amazing. They’re not even telling him he’s on his own. They’re actively advocating the seat go to the rats.”

Exactly. It is about the insiders trying to keep and outsider out of Washington.

Great episode....

I saw it on the “Decades” channel earlier this year.

They had a daily binge of the original “Star Trek” series, and this episode was one of the episodes they aired.

I also remember seeing this episode when it first aired in the 1960’s....I was a kid then.

[Rome2000]

Ryan is pulling a Chavez/Maduro on Fox right now, LYING ABOUT THE BIG HEIST IN HUMAN HISTORY THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO PULL OFF.

Trump NEEDS TO DROP A MOAB ON CONGRESS, they are ARCH CRIMINALS.

This MF RYAN needs a trip to the Guillotine!!!!!!!!!.

[RooRoobird20]

I absolutely do not understand how someone like Mitch McConnell became and remains as Senate majority leader. He’s done nothing to enforce party discipline and he’s consistently failed when the House has delivered.

Mitch is an ineffective gonadless leader—except when it comes to stabbing other Republicans in the back.

Then again I can’t remember when we’ve ever had a good Senate majority leader.

Sessions needs to step down.

Instead of being drained, the swamp creatures are getting nastier.
