It should be the end of the Republican Party. Christie didn't need the money to win; Cuccinelli did. It's another negative against Christie...his responsibility was to say to the RNC: "I've got this one in the bag. My friend Cuccinelli needs our help in VA".
Why weren't the smart guys in the conservative movement out in front of this before the election? Are they in favor of us being forced into a hillary vs Christie situation?
Not sure that explanation helps.
We been doing that for a few years now, but if we are calling for defunding GOPe (as the past few years) then how can we blame lost elections of conservatives on not getting enough help from GOPe ?
This founds like a model for failure.
Jack Sprat would eat no fat, his wife would eat no lean.....
I hadn’t thought of that children’s nursery rhyme in years, but it applies here!
You think we need to unify with GOPe?
Absolutely sick, and the worst is that the GOP didn’t realize or didn’t care that there would be a huge backlash against Obamacare at this time.
They are running around trying to give about 50 million foreigners citizenship.
I'd like to see a breakdown of contributions to the RNC. Something tells me we'll find that individual contributions are nearly non-existent, but corporate and lobbyist donations make up the bulk of their funding. They sure do work hard to keep the crappy government-as-usual applecart from being tipped.
The RNC is not a friend of America. Nothing could be more obvious. This will not be solved until we can once again drink salty tea from the waters of Boston Harbor. Sic Semper Tyrannis! Don’t Tread on Me! etc. etc. etc! We can see the RED of their eyes...so its time to “Fire!”
The RNC, the national party bears THE ENTIRE BLAME FOR THIS LOSS.
The Tea Party nearly singlehandedly won this race, and if the national party, instead of kissing Chris Christie's butt, had put some EFFORT into backing a real conservative, this race could have been won.
We need a leadership change in the Republican party.
I quit giving to the national party several election cycles ago, giving only to candidates I agree with...wake up, RNC. I know you have trolls here....your hatred of conservatives isn't helping you.
The people will once again, get the Government they deserve.
The only way to get the GOP-e to start doing the right thing is to cut off the money and primary their RINO darlings. RNC donations have plummeted. So have donations to Karl Rove’s PACs. In fact, Karl Rove is running internet ads begging for money for his PACs since he can’t afford to run TV ads anymore.
The RNC’s abandonment of Cuccinelli isn’t an excuse. It’s another illustration that they are not on our side.
Can’t even get Cuccinelli elected over the turd MacClinton and you think we will get the old school primaried? I have begun to lose all hope for our dear republic. It is sinking in finally that we are beyond the tipping point and it will take some sort of conflict to right the ship.
It is shameful that being elected means having a bigger wallet. To hell with ideas and message, it is all about how much crappy signs and buttons you can buy I guess.
Forget about winning elections for now. First we must take control of the GOP. Then and only then will we have a chance at winning elections.
I’m glad the battlelines are becomeing more defined between Tea and GOP. This is a good thing.
Your family member living in Virginia should get a thank you note from Chris Christie and Karl Rove for the contribution.
See, they (RNC, GOPe types) had to spend more money on Christie - even though he’d have won anyway - to make sure he won by a large enough margin to still be seen as the presumptive nominee in 2016.
They (RNC, GOPe types) also didn’t like Cuccinelli being a Tea Party favorite.
I am not sure we can judge the RNC donations by what is said here in Free Republic.
I know the RNC will never again receive a dime from me, and that appears to be the message here.
However it would be nice to see where the monies they do receive come from.
I am a registered Republican now because I haven’t found another place to go, the party has left me. This latest with Cuccinelli has frosted my balls.
It is the way this post article is written. It says 'our guy lost because THEY didnt help enough' and Levin with same theme.
But to your post : on the Morning Joe they concluded that the ‘business’ wing of the GOP gave the Tea Party a schooling last night.
McAuliffe had 15 million dollars in his campaign.
How much of this money was from the Saudis or other foreign interests?
So it was really the Tea Party that caused the loss? /sarc
When I get those fundraising appeals in the mail from the RNC I print out a handful of McCain Pesos and send them back in the prepaid envelope.
