There seem to be a lot of smug, nest-feathering dead weight in the Republican Caucus.

That’s fine. The GOP spends its money against conservative candidates.

The support of the GOP is not needed in order for conservatives to retake the party, in my opinion.

The GOP has a clear choice - it can either promote RINOs or be funded.

[GeronL]

Conservatives have no reason to donate to the party. Donate to the candidates directly.

[cripplecreek]

The NRCC imported a carpetbagger with no experience or legislative history to run against a known conservative in the primary in my district.

Idiots.

The voters will donate directly to candidates and to sarahpac to get the job done. Voters are done with the Washington go along to get along culture.

** promote RINOs or be funded.**

DITTO... McLame is why I DUMPED the GOP...

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Replace Michael Steele with Sarah Palin at the RNC and the money will come rolling in.

[Bigtigermike]

You are so correct that many are giving to SarahPac instead.....I wonder if the Republican party will get the message.....NOT!

Wow, I won't be able to sleep tonig zzzzzzzzzzz

[RummyChick]

why should people donate their hard earned money in this economy..only to have it handed over to the likes of that woman in NY???

Steele needs to get the boot.

Since when did anyone here let the Politico call the shots.

Dede Scuzzyfava effect?

[Huskrrrr]

RINOS need not knock on my door. Tom McClintock and endorsed friends will receive a check from me.

I’ve turned down all pleas for help from the national organization. We have a very good chance to get our own guy (Charles Djou) into Neil Abercrombie’s slot, who’s quitting to run for governor. We also need to support whoever becomes the Republican nominee for governor. Our money stays local this year.

With those needs at hand, why would I want to throw it away on the national campaign who might just put it toward someone like Dede Scoffalaza (sp?).

[pepperdog]

What a delicious idea! But they'd never, ever do it. And Sarah probably isn't interested. She has mountains of debts to pay thanks to the campaign of filth launched against her by the Alaskan Dems and RINOs.

Making Sarah head of the RNC would be like using Secretariat as a plow horse. Sarah has a far more important mission. It would be a good job for someone like Duncan Hunter, however.

Duncan has a great deal to offer and his talents are not being used.
