Then came word that Senator Elizabeth H. Dole (R-NC), the Chairman of the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, did not think Butler could win.

What's the possibility that "Senator Elizabeth H. Dole (RINO-NC )" actually was afraid that he COULD win?

Can't allow a real conservative into the market, he'll take all the custom!

I remember a previous essay by Wyerich in which he states that conservatives are often found to be opposed by the Republican establishment. Thus I wonder how much of the opposition of the Washington establishment is due to their being conservatives rather than being black.

The real test case for this will be who does the establishment support in Colorado, Tancredo or his challenger?

It's not blacks they're sabotaging, it's conservatives.

Steele is thought to have one shot at the Senate from this deep Blue State...


I would not say we are deep blue, but more purpleish. Let's not exagerate facts. We did have a Republican Governor before President took him to run Homeland Security and we have two Senators thus far. Hardly what I would call deep blue. Just my opinion on the facts as I see it.

"Can't allow a real conservative into the market, he'll take all the custom!"
______________________________

I think your right. It's easier to marginalize the real conservatives that are white. It's much tougher to marginalize a minority that is conservative.

I think this is more of an issue about the political elites in DC not wanting any fresh blood that might actually rock the boat.

Weyrich is making this a case about race rather than politics. It isn't. The National GOP wants the strongest candidate to run and win. Why does Weyrich assume that a candidate's skin color has played a central role in these statewide elections? It is remarkable that they are even under consideration, particularly when you contrast the GOP's meritocracy with the Dems plantation treatment of blacks.

Blacks vote over 90% for the Dems regardless of what color the candidate is. The real question in the races cited by Weyrich is why the Dems are not running black candidates in all these races. They are the ones snubbing their most loyal constituency. In this articel Weyrich is corroborating the Dems bogus charge that the GOP is racist. Nothing is further from the truth.

Giddy Dole is a useless bimbo who came to Washington as a knee-jerk polo club liberal with a massive trust fund to be a White House aide to LYNDON BAINES JOHNSON. Helping create the "War" on poverty reflected her plantation views of blacks and their capabilities. After all, those with Giddy's upbringing spoke to the plantation "help" only through overseers.

Indictment #2 is that she is "married" to Robert Dole (Tax Collector for the Welfare State as he was known in his own career) who had been married for many years to the nurse who cared for him for years until the homewrecking aging dollar debutante decided that she needed a Senator as a lifestyle accessory and bought TaxBoob Dole, the male bimbo whose 1986 tax-monster legislation TEFRA reversed a lot of the good done by Ronaldus Maximus's earlier tax cuts and whose craven behavior groveling in favor of DemoTax hikes later cost Bush the Elder (assisted by his own stupidity and gullibility in signing the tax hikes of 1991?) his presidency and cost us eight years of Mr. and Mrs. Arkansas Antichrist in the White House. It was worth running TaxBoob in a failed presidential race just to get the tax-obsessed public nuisance OUT of the US Senate. Also, remember that Taxboob WILLINGLY played second fiddle in 1976 to Gerald Ford. Even Pee Wee Herman would have blanched at that idea.

Indictment #3: North Carolina owes more to America than this imbecile Giddy Dole. Form a committee to make Richard Burr the Senior Senator from North Carolina. If he is still around, send Harold Herring (distinguished YAF leader in NC in 1970 aka "The Bishop") as her replacement. North Carolina gave us Jesse Helms and John East (then known as Helms on Wheels).

Indictment #4: Her behavior as chair of the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee is obsessed on finding more overprivileged airheads like her husband (after marrying her trust fund)and herself. Does anyone wonder why the GOP looks like the party of Simon Legree to the general population? Look no further than Giddy Dole.

Indictment #5: The Foundry Methodist Church which TaxBoob and Giddy attend when in DC is the very same one attended by Mr. and Mrs. Arkansas Antichrist, the one with a white pastor who is somewhere to the left of Stalin in his politics and sermons. Small world isn't it????

Indictment #6: What did Giddy have to say in her capacity as NRSCC Chairthing when Maryland Lieutenant Governor Steele (GOP Senate candidate and a darn good one in Maryland) had his Social Security number abused to spread his credit reports on the internet by staff of Schmuckie Chewmer, her Demobrat counterpart. The silence was deafening as the NDSCC violated federal law. One miscreant has been arrested (IIRC) but no one has gone after Schmuckie. Ask yourself what Would Schmuckie Do if a Republican committed this crime against one of HIS candidates.

Get this useless witch out of control of GOPO Senate races or be prepared for loss of the Senate in 2006.

Maybe Giddy never got the memo that the GOP needs to welcome the votes of each and every American of Republican and conservative views regardless of (chant with me now) "race, creed, color or national origin." It is time for Giddy to accept the late 20th century changes in the world view she grew up with and recognize that hiring black servants and actually paying them is NOT some sort of political heroism, especially when she is probably in the habit of giving each a whole $1 Christmas bonus not to be spent all in one place.

Get a warrior in the job and kick her useless backside into retirement from NRSCC and from the Senate. One possibility is that she could personally care for lepers or AIDS victims in, say, Cameroon, if they would have her.

No one can credibly accuse the Pennsylvania GOP, the Ohio GOP, the Maryland GOP, etc., of being racist. The accusation is against Giddy Dole and it sticks. Who runs for the Senate in Michigan is nunoherbidness as long as they do not embarass the nati9nal GOP. DC establishment DOES NOT KNOW BEST! See #9

Libby " THE LIBERAL " Dole needs to go ! She did the same thing to Harris in Florida , and terribly weakened the Harris candidacy. Liberal Dole and the RSCC are doing more to sabotage solid Conservative candidates than the Dims could ever hope to do . Absolutely disgusting .

Weyrich's article is way off base and more of the crap coming out of conservative journalists for whatever reason.

Liddy Dole campaigned here in OK for the most conservative Senate candidate, Dr. Tom Coburn -- held a fundraiser, etc. No one can tell me that she doesn't support conservative candidates -- she supports who can WIN which is what the goal of running for office is all about.

The problem with some of the so-called 'conservative' writers that 'know it all' today is that they refuse to admit sometimes we have a less than stellar conservative running that cannot win. With limited resources from places like NRSC you put dollars where you can pick up seats not throw money away. If a candidate, whatever their ethnic background, starts coming on fast, NRSC keeps money back to help that candidate.

We are still in the primary season and Weyrich says they are not helping. They should not be helping in primary races unless they help both candidates in a State.

What I don't understand is how people on here that are supposed to be political savvy can fall for what these so-called 'expert' pundits on politics are saying. Don't they think for themselves?

I swear we have a bunch of people on here that want Republicans to lose in November and they show their colors more by the day and yes, this includes some so-called conservative political writers. Anyone ever stop to think that the 'conservative' writers will make more and be listened to more if Republicans lose the House or Senate so then they can lead the charge to take it back. Too many egos for my taste in writers like Weyrich that don't seem to have a clue about Republican politics.

Keith Butler was a speaker at our "America First" Summit in Chicago

What a wonderful man who has the guts to address illegal immigration!

http://www.minutemanhq.com/state/read.php?chapter=IL&sid=11


The summit on national security focuses not only on problems caused by illegal immigration. It also has a political focus. Robert Vasquez, from Idaho is in attendance as well, along with some local Republican candidates. Keith Butler, the Republican candidate for the U. S. Senate from Michigan addresses the summit and gets applause when he argues for the idea that China is now "one of the greatest threats to our national security."

A lot do take the Republican ticket because it makes them look conservative and good.

Now enter the black true conservative... and you can imagine the hollers.

I believe that establishment GOPers are both anticonservative and on the racist side, and, in fact, wholly irresponsible aristocrates of sorts.

Sigh.

Wow, what a post. It's harder to tell the difference nowadays from the big spending, large government Repubs from the Demoncrats of the same ilk.

"Weyrich's article is way off base and more of the crap coming out of conservative journalists for whatever reason."

Why would Weyrich lie ? He wants conservative candidates to win the primaries just as we do.


"No one can tell me that she doesn't support conservative candidates -- she supports who can WIN which is what the goal of running for office is all about."

Ahh , yeah the goal is to win , but why win with a RINO if a true Conservative can do just as well in the general elections ?


"I swear we have a bunch of people on here that want Republicans to lose in November and they show their colors more by the day "

Wrong again , we want true Conservatives running that can win . Libby "the Liberal" Dole and the NRSC is playing the so-called "let's run RINO's so we can win" card in places that it doesn't have to be played .Liberal Dole needs to step down from th NRSC , she's doing more harm than good .

PKM: I doubt that Giddy was supporting Tom Coburn BEFORE he won the primary. It is a fair point to say that she should NOT intervene before primaries and should be even-handed. The complaint is not that she is neutral before primaries but that she has a knee-jerk reflex in favor of the spineless whenever there is an in-party contest. She should NOT take sides but, if she does, she should not take sides against conservatives. We are stacking up an ever-increasing pile of spaghettispines who play well at the old country club.

If it had been up to the likes of Giddy, she would have been uncomfortable with the idea of J. C. Watts running as a Republican. The right thing to do is to give directly to candidates. I don't need elitists like Giddy Dole to decide where my contributions should go and neither does anybody else. If she wants to be a preprimary player on behalf of the spineless or exhibits traits suggesting a preference for a lily white party regardless of the quality of other candidates, or if she suggests that she and not Republican voters should decide nominations, then it is time to shut her and NRSCC down OR turn the chairthingship over to Tom Coburn or Jim Inhofe. I don't mind either of them or anyone like them making such decisions but NOT Giddy Dole. If that makes me a hypocrite, let it be!

The purpose of politics is not merely electing candidates (see Judas Jeffords re-elected with GOP money because his ancestors were Republicans before the late Unpleasantness Between the States of the 1860s) but rather to enact policy. Any "Republican leader" of NSRCC who thinks otherwise needs to go. Giddy is merely the posterthing.

Paul Weyrich was a reporter (and therefore a writer) in Milwaukee before leaving for DC to establish Free Congress. He and Free Congress have, year in and year out, done a lot more in any election cycle than Giddy Dole ever will. Of course, that's because Weyrich wants to elect real Republicans and Real Americans. He has earned the standing to attack Giddy for her feckless ideological indifference.

BTW, I have consistently supported Dubya here and elsewhere against conservative complaints but that does not mean that we should lie down for the likes of Giddy. See how many non-incumbent "winners" she backs for this fall. If Stabenow is re-elected, if Bill Nelson is re-elected, if __________ is re-elected as a left dumbocrat, blame feckless Giddy and her search for Gerald Ford style candidates or worse.

If I were Ken Blackman or Lynn Swann, I would not rely on the usual gang of polo club socialites who run the national GOP fundraising operations. Since they back liberals regularly, let them collect their cash from the terminally liberal or the terminally brainless or the terminally spineless.
