Uh oh: Top NRSC lawyer headed to Alaska to advise Murkowski?

DISASTER!!

~SNIP~

Sean Cairncross, the general counsel of the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, is headed to Alaska at the request of Sen. Lisa Murkowski to help provide guidance to the GOP incumbent finds herself trailing attorney Joe Miller by roughly 1,600 votes…

Committee sources insisted that too much should not be read into Cairncross’ presence in Alaska — only that the NRSC is an incumbent-retention committee and, as such, provides assistance when Senators ask for it.

Let me get this straight. After taking loads of abuse from the grassroots for endorsing Charlie Crist before Rubio’s campaign got off the ground, and with Murkowski already pointedly refusing to rule out a third-party bid if Miller’s (shrinking) lead holds up, John Cornyn and the NRSC are … sending their top lawyer to help her out? And framing it explicitly in terms of retaining incumbents? Do they really have no idea of how bitterly ferocious the backlash will be among the Republican base — especially, but not only, among Palin’s supporters — if they’re seen as tilting the election to Murkowski?

Lisa requested that the NRSC send a lawyer....maybe because
The GOP lieutenant Governor, who is a stalwart conservative and military man, is in charge of counting the absentee ballots .

And a friend of Sarah’s. You forgot include that, but it doesn’t matter. Lt. Governor Craig Campbell is an honest man.

There’s a reason that I don’t donate directly to the party any more. The party is corrupted with liberals.

Sending a GOP Lawyer to steal an election is like sending a kindergarten kid to do brain surgery. GOP lawyer is so clueless that he doesn’t even know what it means to steal and election and, if he did know what it meant, he wouldn’t have a clue how to do it. If this is what Murkowski is pinning her hopes on, Joe Miller has nothing to worry about.

On another note, I found the attached article on Redstate. The NRSC is not just an incumbent protection racket. They are a full blown RINO operation. They have given loads of money to RINO Mike Castle in Delaware against Tea Partyer Christine O’ Donnell. Crist, Murkowski, Castle, Bennett. Those are the kinds of Senators Cornyn, Hatch and Co want.

As Jim Rob says, “Just Vote them out!!”

EGHAD!

INCUMBENT PROTECTION AGENCY!
Orin Hatch!

But WHY MIKE CASTLE? He’s NOT in the Senate...yet!
Of course Crist was a Governor and not in the Senate, but RINO was his qualification or was it faggot?

Bennett lost, despite their damn money and fossil Orin will too.

The North-East is a different story.

My God, this is a scandal of its own!

Someone should post the Redstate Article. If I were Christine O’ Donnell, I would use that to run against Castle, saying the NRSC supports Castle just like Murkowski. I think it would motivate conservatives in Delaware to defeat Castle, who is a menace to liberty.

This is the NRSC getting involved, not the RNC.

Different door, same building.

Dated July 12 - too old for posting - better to send to O’Donnell’s campaing. She can make excellent use of it.

you don't think the rat party is MORE corrupt?....because it is..

more importantly, the rats are EVIL and communist as well....

at least we have our foot in the door with the pubs......

it matters not to me if people say they aren't pubs or don't donate to pubs but if we completely abandon the ship, we are doing exactly what the rats want...

for all all I know, this is a rat strategy to anger the rank and file....

Lincoln Chaffee, That is the reason I never send $$ to RNC,NRSC or NRCC. The Toomey/Spectre thing ticked me off too.

Everybody send Money in protest to:

Christine would be a great CONSERVATIVE senator from DE instead of a career politician RINO like Castle.
