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?

I agree with you... rats are evil incarnate... every single one... even little old ladies that still love fdr... an evil sob if there ever was one.

I know what you say is true... but after pouring my heart, blood sweat, tears and $$$ into electing republicans all of my life, I am feeling somewhat like the fellow that comes home to find his wife in bed with his brother.

Of course, should she ever leave the party.... I'll be right behind her. If she can't fix it, or make it better, nobody can.

There you have it, sports fans. You have met the enemy and it is the Party. YOU STUPID FOOLS, YOUR MISSION SHOULD BE TO PRESERVE THE SEAT AND NOT NECESSARILY THE RINO SITTING THERE.

That's why the party supported Benedict Arlen 6 years ago, isn't it? Love how that one turned out.

NOT ANOTHER DIME. If you are going to donate, people, do it directly and let the NATIONAL Party apparatus wither and die. Start change by challenging your precinct rep with a pledge to de-fang the national train wreck.
