Conservative rebellion against Washington GOP establishment heating up

There is only one concern I have about the NCCF: its association with Romney. [See their Web site.] Apparently a fundraiser featuring Romney was held at former Va. Gov. Allen’s house here in Northern Virginia last May, per their Web site.

That raises a few red flags in my book.

“after seeing the same numbers that persuaded Specter the days of Republicans-In-Name-Only (RINO) being nominated by the Pennsylvania party are coming to an end, for better or worse.”

Better!

The Club for Growth is becoming the place for GOP conservatives to send their money to. The battle for the soul of the Republican party is in full swing; the results of the battle will be key to where this nation is headed.

Mr. Erickson should have a talk with FR’s own chicagolady. She’s got an interesting “funding” story to tell.

[ChrisInAR]

Sheeeeeesh........why couldn’t this have started up YEARS ago???? Long before Bush I nominated leftists like Souter & Soto for federal court slots to begin w/?

[Kartographer]

We can only hope that we will soon see the day when the North American RINO is placed of the endangered species list!

“a letter being circulated this week by RedState’s Erick Erickson, who is one of the major insurgent leaders:”

Erick is also a FReeper.

The GOP establishment still doesn't get it..... More voters now claim to be independents than "republi-can'ts".

Failures in fundraising should be a wakeup call....

[Ingtar]

If Romney is involved, I have to ask: is a RINO fight anything like a cat fight?

[TADSLOS]

Paraphrasing Rush today referring to this article- The GOP's Suicide Mission:

"If republicans are listening to the Ridges, the Powells and the Mark McKinnon's it is extinct."

[subterfuge]

Here is the deal. The republican party has been infiltrated by leftist democrats. They are not "RINOs", they are actual subversives who are there for the purpose of destroying the conservative movement. This has been going on for several decades and was accelerated when the cold war ended. Conservatives need to start to realize this, document it and then tell the American people. Period.

[pgkdan]

The attempts in recent weeks by the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) to recruit a liberal GOPer to oppose former congressman Pat Toomey - a solid and articulate conservative with support from such party moderates as former Lt. Gov Bill Scranton - in the race to succeed Specter.

The Examiner could use an editor. This sentence makes no sense.

[tgusa]

Which GOPer with national stature do you think could raise more $$ for the NCCF? McCain? Huckabee? I dunno - just askin’.

[Texas Fossil]

About time, it is time to get our house in order.

And then deal with this disease brought upon us by the MSM’s selected candidate and currently our Traitor in Chief.

The writer of the article does not have a clue about how “heated” this could be, before it is over.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Can’t organizations like the NRA just pull funding of all RINO’s?

That would leave a mark.

[Beagle8U]

Mutt Romney is like a tick or leach that attaches itself to anything conservative, to suck the life out of it!

[rabscuttle385]

I’m sorry. I just don’t trust Flip Romney.

[Deb]

Why don’t you worry about your fellow Libertarian’s clown-fighting and leave the Leftist propaganda to the Democrats.

RINO death march bump...
