Gotta have that Karl Rove $$$$$$ !
Ping.
“Reince Priebus” -—> RoveBot
The GOP is in full on Zombie mode. Like Rush says, if they’re just going to echo the democrats what friggin good are they
The boy with the boarding-school name backing Mitch while sounding like a real conservative. /s
Bottom line: Mitch has the seniority & the track record for bringing home the big bucks to the Bluegrass State & KY voters aren’t gonna throw that away lightly.
They’re not going to change their dependecies, their loyalties and ideologies(fear?greed?laziness?), any sooner that the libs will, who are floating Bernie Sanders, going for their radical let base
That’s what they’re about.
He’ll send tons of cash to help McConnell but would hardly lift a finger to help Cuccinelli.
We might not win them all next year...but we WILL win some, taking out some establishment preferred candidates, and making the US Senate, not such a nice place to work anymore, encouraging more retirements.
Karl Rove: “Reince, the check just cleared.”
“Of course I’m supporting McConnell’s opponent”—iacovatx and the majority of conservative voters
“Of course I’m supporting C Christie”—RNC, whose 2012 presidential candidate was partly deep-sixed by Christie in the last weeks before the election.
If we want to have an impact, we must go after the funding sources. For example, the Ch of Commerce wants to pour money into destructive Repub candidates. If the C of C’s members get the message that a large number of customers know who they are and will make buying decisions accordingly, they may reconsider. Ridiculing C of C members who think legalizing millions of leftist illegals will somehow provide them with cheap labor need to be reminded of just how expensive legalized employees are. For example, Obamacare. And, big tech companies that wish to employ grateful third-world techs and engineers at low wages need to be called out publically and the light shown on their grand wealth and arrogance while those H1B’s they employ, who know nothing but the corrupt socialist govt’s in their home countries, live in cramped 900,000 dollar houses just south of San Fran.
That means you are stupid.

I thought that the next chance the “repubicans” had to demonstrate that they have at least an ounce of testicular fortitude was coming up with the Debt Limit fight.
Yet no one on the right is talking about it. WTF, over?!?
Nobody reasonbly expected the RNC chair to back a Tea Party challenger over the sitting GOP Senate leader.
The only way to force the GOPe to shift is for the Tea Party candidates to prevail in more than half of the 2014 Senate race victories.
If Dems lose 6 Senate races, at least 3 of resulting winners must be from the Tea Party.
Why the Hell does he still have a job after the Romney debacle?
“Of course I am going to support a brother progressive like mitch... what the hell else would a progressive do”?
Reince is just invoking the old saying, “Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line.”
Not any more, Reince. Not any more.
I’ve posted this around the net a number of times and do so again inasmuch as THIS is a constantly recurring problem and some may not grasp how widespread it is. And now that the RNC has OPENLY declared war on the Tea Party, it should be clear to all why I have for a few decades cautioned my many friends to NOT SEND THE RNC A NICKLE.
Over the years – when, to steal a line from Billy Joel, I wore a younger man’s clothes – I was involved with several pretty solid conservative candidates for Congress. One was a Democrat (Lawrence Patton McDonald) – because that was the only way he could win in that district. Those old-timers who know Larry’s record will tell you that he was a solid an anti-communist America Firster and more Republican than the Pubbies in nearby districts at the time. (His mother’s cousin was General George Patton from whom he got the middle name – and his incredible resolve and love of this country.) How ironic that he, like General Patton, was also assassinated by the communists they both despised. It was my honor to introduce Larry at his last public speech in the district before that ill-fated KAL007 flight!
Those other candidates ran as Republicans and each had to pass my rigid litmus test or I went looking for someone who did. For that reason, I hooked up with what the TRADITIONAL country club Pubbie establishment types believed were too radical for their refined tastes. I served as treasurer for several and in other capacities for more.
As those campaigns began to unfold and it became clear to the country clubbers that these guys 1) had a shot and 2) were pretty independent thinkers who would be hard to keep on the reservation once they got sworn in, the local Pubbies communicated that information to the Republican National HQ types who rather quickly sent in campaign “professionals” ostensibly to lock up the impending victory.
Instead, in nearly every case to which I was privy, these “professionals” proceeded to TORPEDO our guy’s campaign in subtle but effective ways.
From that experience I can tell you that the Pubbies at the HQ in D.C. would rather have a Democrat win a given district than have a pubbie up there who would embarrass them by refusing to follow the party line.
If YOU become involved in campaigns for solidly conservative, America and Constitution loving, hard-nosed, independent thinking candidates in 2014 and beyond – and I pray many of you do — please DO NOT trust any of those folks from GOP HQ in Washington. If they want to send you no-strings cash for your campaign, take it. If, however, they “suggest” sending in one of their “professionals,” tell them to fuggetaboutit.
They ARE WHO GOT US INTO THIS MESS AND THEY ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS!!!!
