FREEDOM!
The RNC is a PROGRESSIVE organization!
I listened to John Gibson and his rant about how the Tea movement should support RINOs,,, uhm John, the RNC should support conservatives first and RINOs second
It’s amazing how many times people keep returning to the very group who has repudiated Conservatism more times than can be counted over the years. The OP(formerly the GOP) has no intention of working with Conservatives. People need to drop the notion of taking back the party.
RINOs are counter-productive.. they assume powers not granted to them by the voters.
DITTO!!
RNC...the flip side of the DNC Federal coin....
We need more information.
What is the Party registration, in this District?
Republican?
Democrat?
Independent?
In a war, you do NOT target EVERY enemy position, you pick and choose where to spend your energy, your ammunition, your resources, and your blood.
Sure, the RNC makes mistakes, any large organization makes mistakes.
However, you have not shown, in your post, that the RNC is wrong, in this instance.
Same Old Sierra - the Republican Party will implode if it continues this arrogant stiffarming of legitimate candidates.
Colonel, USAFR
Here is a little secret, the candidate lost his home due to a foreclosure....
Principle > Party.
Tar and Feather Rinos ! (metaphorically speaking of course)
It is not the RNC — if you people cannot see the difference then do some homework.
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) — get that! NRCC not RNC is involved in Congressional races. They are concentrating on seats they feel they can win and this is not one of them. Doesn’t make any difference who the person is that won.
There is not enough money to go around so you concentrate first on taking back seats in Red States, then move to ones who only went Blue for Obama, and last up are candidates from solid blue states.
The comments are ludicrous at best about the RNC which does not get involved in most Congressional races unless asked by the NRCC.
That said — rely on the grassroots. If you want this guy to win, open your wallets, go volunteer, and help him with a grassroots effort. That’s how you win elections not expecting the national people to come in and save the day.
Get off the dime and go to work for this person — he needs boots on the ground and all of you to open up your wallets and go back to the old fashioned way of campaigning. I will be more then happy to give some ‘free’ advise on how he can do this campaign on a frugal basis.
Freep Mail me if you want some ‘free advise’ on ways to cut costs. It has worked with other candidates who are facing a race and using the grassroots with little money. Takes a lot of effort, but it can be done.
Why is "Tea-Party" capitalized, as if it is an organization of some kind rather than a catchy nickname for an effective protest movement from last year? Has the name already been trademarked by ambitious political whores?
I dont much care what the RNC does. If I see someone I wish to contribute to, I will send them my donation that used to go to the RNC.
Right now I throw their letters in the trash and hang up the phone when they call. Still they dont get the message, Screw em.
We conservatives do not want a 3d party,
A 3rd Party, a 4th Party, ... is the only way to force the national debate into the deeper questions of personal responsibility, which is freedom, versus government dependence. Big money parties are only incubators for corruption and complicity. Given of course that the outsiders can break the media stranglehold and enter the debate at all.
We either trust the individual to understand the dignity of freedom and responsibility, or let the political class (political parties) have their way with us.
There is a long long way to go to turn it around, if ever. Complicity, Joseph Conrad wrote a novel about that (Victory).
Who is still giving money to the RNC? Don’t think they have much to give. Donations to the RNC are down over 50% since Steele took over.
OK folks... Don’t get too spastic.
Bean won this district in 2008 by 60% to 40%, and by 51% to 44%.
The RNC probably sees assets better used elsewhere. It’s up to US to Support the Tea Party candidates, in the end. Not the RNC.
The RNC reported in January that their cash levels are at one third what they were one year prior. In the real world, such executives would find their smoking carcasses hanging from the yardarms.
Maybe when they drop to ZERO, the RINO bastages will start listening.
The RNC is worthless to us. It has been for decades.
I still maintain that Reagan would never have been president if the party insiders had had their way.
It is a fact that I'm happy with my solid Republican Congressman. He doesn't really need my support to keep getting elected but a lot of conservative Congressional candidates across the country will. That's where I'm putting my campaign donation bucks. I'm going to look for good candidates, see what kind of campaign they are running, check to see if they are within reach of winning and send them a check if they are. Forget the RNC.
