Maelstrom: “...constitutional conservatives need to accept that it is OUR responsibility to fund OUR candidates...”
You’re absolutely right. Many have posted that they will not donate to the RNC again until it stops trying to beat conservatives. Yet, many demonize the RNC for not pouring more money into these races. We can’t rightly expect them to fund our candidates if we refuse to give the RNC our money.
I’m not saying we should pour money into the RNC, but we are going to have to do something more to win these sorts of races. If that means donating money directly to the candidates, then donate. If it means walking door to door, start walking.
Frankly, I’m guilty of not doing much to get conservatives elected. Part of that is because I’m lucky enough to live in a very conservative state. However, how long can conservative states like mine stand against the federal behemoth if we don’t start pushing back in the blue states? They’ll simply outvote us in D.C.
Many of these races are still winnable, but we have to increase our turnout. Even if Democrats make up 60% of voters, the other 40% can still win if we can get more of us to the polls, but that’s going to take time and money.
We need some kind of kickstarter for conservatives or some kind of million conservative pac where we can leverage the strength in our national numbers to raise millions in small donations. Obama and the DNC are doing a lot of fundraising with very small donations of $5.00 of less the key though is they are targeting literally millions of supporters.
You are absolutely right. None of us can feel safe in the comfort of red states because the left if they can’t win at the state level will transform your state using the federal whip. That is why they push things like ENDA. They want to force states like Texas, Oklahoma and others to submit to their liberal social policy or else. That is why they want Obamacare because they know they will never be able to implement such schemes in red states. They are authoritarians and they have no end to their hunger for power and will not be happy till they have consumed the entire world.
There is no refuge. There is no easy road to be had. We need to act as partners as a part of a unified cause that operates beyond our state lines.

Hold on, are you suggesting that when you give money to the RNC you are confident they are spending that money where YOU want it spent? Is that what you are saying here?
In my world, if I give any money to the RNC, I have NO way of knowing where they choose to spend that money.
Screw the RNC. Karl Rove is a freakin snake and all that surround him. I detest those running the RNC, btw, where has Reince (sp) been lately? Do you hear him/see him fighting FOR anything?
Also, even though that skunk McAwful squeaked out a win, the state offices went red, so good luck McAwful, you will do the dems proud, if you stay out of jail!
