The National Republican Senatorial Committee refused to fund the Tea Party darling in Delaware Christine O’Donnell, who kicked out of office the establishment Republican Castle in the state primary yesterday.
This was the ugliest decision the Republican elite could have made.
When folks donate to the NRSC they expect them to fight for every senatorial candidate. They should not discriminate between the glamorous former CEO lady and the woman who struggled through home foreclosure.
People expect the NRSC to support all senatorial candidates that folks moved forward in legitimate Republican primaries. It is not the Republican’s elite who decides who is worthy to be Senator and who is not – it is the voters in the primaries.
It doesn’t matter if it is O’Donnell, Alvin Green, Charley Wrangle or Barack Obama: it is voters who have a say, not some politburo.
The Republicans fight united for the tax-cuts for the rich, but the Republican elite would not support their senatorial candidate because she experienced how it feels to get bankrupt paying for college education. She knows how it feels to default on mortgage. But the NRSC is only supporting fancy-shmancy Castle-like candidates?
The people in Delaware have spoken. All year long we hear the Republicans lecture us on state rights and power to the local communities. It is time for the Republican elite to walk the walk shoulder to shoulder with Christine O’Donnell because ‘we the people’ said so.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee refuses to support not just O’Donnel but all the thousands of folks that voted for her hoping she will represent them in Congress. The NRSC is betraying the republican primary voters in Delaware. Shame on you!
I hope that while I am writing this post the NRSC is reversing their decision.
Cornyn is HIDING. His office won’t discuss this.
The NRSC is not answering its phones.
CORNYN - RESIGN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am sending an IOU for a couple Billion.
T-Power is growing. It will run them over.
You are becoming aware. Join the cause.
It is time to get rid of the backstabbing wing of the GOP.
Romney - backstabber
Castle - backstabber
Cornyn - backstabber
Rove - backstabber.
Michael Steele:
You have insulted us for the last time. You publicly announce your lack of support for a candidate because your hand picked guy didn’t win?
Whose side are you on, really? Many of us feel you and the party have been playing an insider game far too long and enough is enough!
So long you as you are head of the RNC I will not take your calls or even open your letters.
The Republican voter has changed and you and your friends or the cabal of country club Republicans are dinosaurs.
Giving money and support to Crist, Specter, Scuzzyfavor, Chaffee, Snow, Collins? Unacceptable!
Have fun. That little light in the corner of your eye is your career dissipation light.
Have a nice day!

Same thing applies for the state Republican establishment doing robocalls to try to destroy her.
You are absolutely correct.
If the powers that be don’t have the money to give to all candidates, fine.
But to broadcast on the night of the election, with Rove leading the charge, that the Republican primary winner is a loser is just plain sabotage.
This temper tantrum had nothing to do with money. This was a bunch of upset elitists who acted like spoiled children because they didn’t get their way.
Disgusting.
Everyone, please do what you can and donate directly to these left behind candidates.
Money is the only thing these ivory tower jerks understand or will listen to.
Way to go. I am planning a little email campaign of my own today to the RNSC and Karl Rove. We need to let these RHINO’s know which way the wind is blowing.
Gosh... this is like a BAD replay of “The Matrix”!
Yes, the truth sucks, now doing something about it!
I'm certain I read somewhere that she won the 'Republican' nomination.
I am not a 'Republican', or a "Freper". Save your shame.
http://electiondayteaparty.com/ just listed my candidate, Dr. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, as one of the Top 50 Races that can be won with more help.
There are a lot of great candidates out there who are not being helped because the election is deemed unwinnable, but we think we can win, we just need to keep pushing the word out there.
MMM is a MD, was a nurse, a 24 year ARMY Vet (6 years active 18 years reserves - enlisted as a private, retired as a Lt. Col.) wife of 27 years and mother of 2 college ages kids. Amazing candidate. http://millermeeks.com
we’re all out there fighting as hard as we can!
Oh, they know. They're scared and fighting it tooth and nail. And we can't let up the pressure.
Now at 71% !
As Ben Franklin said, we must all hang together or we will all hang separately. Yesterday was yesterday and it time for all of us to get on with it for Nov.
Senator John Cornyn is the current Chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC). IMO, Senator Cornyn should step down as Chair of the NRSC.
