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.
Delaware is a small state, enough money will make a huge difference in this race. The RNSC is utterly stupid to withdrawal support. Let us hammer home just how stupid they are by bring O'Donnell home to victory.
No need to wonder, there are a significant group in dc that was planning on exactly that.
Bravo! Well done!
Just made a donation directly to O’Donnell and i’m forwarding the receipt to the NRSC.
Steele hasn’t said anything about supporting or not supporting her yet, it was the NRSC, so let wait before we hammer Steele. All ire should for the moment be focused on the NRSC.
Is it really Michael Steele?
You know, I am tempted to, but something tells me he would neither understand nor care, so I think perhaps the best choice of action is to ignore him, because he is not relevant any longer.
what’s 68%?
F-em both.
I know it wasn’t Steele but I can’t stand him or the RNC.
Besides, these guys go to the same bartender, so they are part and parcel of the whole.

While you are probably correct about Cornyn being too numb to be reached, I think it will be useful for others to see what happens to him.
Yes, there is a season and some bag limits.
We are allowed to harvest 1/3 of the Senate rino herd every two years.
Congressional rinos may be harvested every two years with no bag limit.
Good Hunting! But, they make poor eating... much too bitter. Better to just tan their hides and nail it to the barn.
I am a former active-duty Marine who served 13 years. I put my ass on the line for FREEDOM and INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY for all American citizens. For you to NOT support a winning CONSERVATIVE candidate, whether it be Christine O'Donnell, or ANY candidate who supports MAXIMUM individual FREEDOM and LIBERTY, while supporting the very type of political opportunist RINO candidate, who, in concert with far-left democrats is RUINING this country and taking away our freedoms - is SHAMEFUL AND DISGUSTING. GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER AND DO THE RIGHT THING, OR FACE THE WRATH OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT LOVE THIS COUNTRY AS IT WAS FOUNDED.
Done. Now at 89%!
Oh good. I will put out some T-Bags for bait.
God Bless!
I hope many many folks go post a note! It is easy to do:

On Steele, it seems like a lot of the haters are members of the RNSC & those insiders that I do not trust. I frankly cannot tell on Steele. I KNOW that some of the complaints have been total BS. But... I just don’t know about Steele... yet.
If you have links, I am interested.
