After the NY-23 debacle (well, even before), my advice to most folks is simple... give directly to the candidates you believe will share your values. If you give to the party, they may give money to candidates that are liberals and establishment flunkies and suck-ups (read: Mark Kirk of IL). To think they pissed away nearly $1 million to shore up that corpulent Socialist bitch in NY and used the money to ATTACK the Conservative in the race, Doug Hoffman, I considered a criminal abuse of contributors money. That lady ought to be sued for the money spent on her and returned to contributors.
Uh, Andy McKenna?
