Who are the RNC elite insiders? If you have ever given a substantial donation to a GOP federal officeholder, then you can get invited to events where you will meet other influential GOP insiders and donors.

Most everyone of them have the attitude of “what’s in it for me?” rather than “what’s good for people?”

So the problem is DC culture, the District of Columbia has become the District of Corruption.

The answer to cutting down this rampant corruption to random isolated cases is Newt Gingrich. But the elite insiders fought and are still fighting his attempt at winning the nomination.

How do we get them out of there?
1. Stop democrats from registering as republican for the GOP primaries.
2. Wait for TV to die as it is used for negative advertising to smear and destroy good candidates.Television is on its deathbed as internet is used more often for entertainment and news.
3. Continue using the internet to provide conservative views.
4. Promote and back the local Tea Party.
5. Cut spending in DC. This will remove a lot of incentive to hang around there.

1. Stop democrats from registering as republican for the GOP primaries.
How do we do this? Would this be decided by the state Repub party leaders? Do they have the same agenda as the DC insiders? If so how do we get closed primaries passed if the state level GOP insiders don’t want it either?

Also, what I was asking is, who are the RNC and how do they get to that position? Here’s what I found online http://www.gop.com/index.php/issues/leadership/
Chairman Reince Priebus
Reince Priebus was elected Chairman of the Republican National Committee on January 14, 2011. In his first year as Chairman, Reince oversaw a dramatic turnaround of the RNC, building it into a strong and effective organization for electing Republicans in 2012.

Under Reince’s leadership, the RNC raised more major donor money in an off year than in the history of the RNC. At the same time, the RNC has broken new ground, deploying new communication strategies and innovative technology for voter outreach.

Reince is committed to uniting the Republican Party to reach our common goal – electing Republicans. With sound fiscal stewardship, a dedication to conservative principles, and a message of freedom and prosperity, Reince continues to lead the party toward victory in 2012.

So, they are elected, but by who? And is it basically this small group of people at the top, Reince Prebius,
his Co-Chair, and the other RNC leadership who are setting the direction of the entire Republican party? Reince Prebius was from Wisconsin and helped Scott Walker, so it seems he does back good conservatives sometime - so why are they pushing Romney so hard?

I guess I’m thinking of it kind of like the board of a corporation or non profit. The senators and congressmen are kind of like the paid staff, but the RNC would be similar to the board of directors who set direction and in a general strategic way decide where the money will be spent so they set the philosophical direction of the party.
They definitely have completely thrown the old Republican party platform of the Reagan years overboard it seems. On the RNC website it is all pretty vague but no mention of any social issues such as pro-life at all.

.... So how do you get on the on the “Board of Directors” of the Republican party? How can we, regular everyday people in the middle class have any effect on this at all?

Do we just need to find some huge money donors who are actually conservative with Judeo/Christian values who would jump in and start helping change direction? I hate for it to all boil down to money but it seems the Marxists/Fascists have bought off the Democrats and now are doing a pretty good job with the Republican party too.

I think it’s time for a hostile takeover of this “corporation”! We need to figure out how to do it legally, morally and righteously but with courage and boldness. Or.. as some have suggested, a third party - but that does seem a really long shot...

sigh...
Sorry this is so long, I’m just really frustrated and puzzled by this whole process, and just wonder how America got itself tangled up like this. We seem to be at the mercy of a few elite big money insiders at the top, and a huge crowd of uneducated/unthoughtful voters at the bottom. We can’t get the voters educated in the constitution without breaking them out of the public schools, we can’t get school choice enacted without getting conservatives elected, which we have a hard time doing becuase the voters are ignorant and the RNC leadership really doesn’t care.....
arg... I need to remember Matthew 19:36
