“Seems like the value of FR is in the awareness and news distribution. Not sure how much pull we could have in the big-mo arena.”
What if the PAC manager(s) were to form an alliance with another one? It likely wouldn’t be a big fish in the pond alone, but there is strength in numbers while still having control over some of the funds.
Money talks. Suckas walk. FRPAC will have say proportionate to $$$$. Like I said, Coming up with a paltry $100k will hurt us more than help as it will say, "See, you needed worry about caving, the conservatives have no clout."
Coalitions is what gets you the GOP as it is now. Coalitions require compromise. Compromise for a conservative means sacrificing principles. Pretty soon, you're singing Lindsay Graham's tune.
Again, what's the objective here?
Advancing conservative ideals, or getting a hand in the corrupted process as it exists?
