NRSC Raised Money Using Christine O'Donnell's Name the Day Before Delaware Primary
Wednesday, September 15, 2010 | Kristinn

Posted on 09/15/2010 8:28:48 AM PDT by kristinn

The day before the Delaware U.S. Senate primary, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) raised money using the name of the eventual winner, Christine O'Donnell.

A search of Google News on Monday using the search term "Christine O'Donnell" returned a paid advertisement by the NRSC at the top of the search field soliciting donations. A click through on the ad's link went to the NRSC's donation page. This indicates that the NRSC purchased "Christine O'Donnell" from Google.

I did not make a screen grab as it seemed more a curiousity than anything terribly newsworthy at the time. However, with the NRSC letting it be known they will not be funding O'Donnell--and doing so before she even gave her victory speech last night--their hypocrisy in raising money off her name must be exposed.

Two faced hypocrites. Man, I despise lying politicians.
They've already done so much damage to the woman, they'd better darn well make sure she wins, or her defeat will be on their hands - as well as our outrage.

Let’s Start a TWITTER Campaign to REMOVE Michael Steele as RNC Chair . . . just TWITTER @RNC and leave message then #GOP to catalog. If you want to Tweet Mikey it’s @ChairmanMSteele and #GOP to catalog. WE NEED AT LEAST A COUPLE THOUSAND TWEETS A DAY TO GET OUR POINT ACROSS!

@rnsc to tell them what you think of this scam.

No more STATIST Republicans. No more RINOs.

Not sure... here is a bit from the American Spectator from last night...

“...And now, Carl Cameron of Fox News is reporting the National Republican Senatorial Committee will not be helping the official nominee of the Delaware Republican Party for the United States Senate in her Senate campaign.”

http://spectator.org/blog/2010/09/14/rove-attack-nrsc-refusal-will

And from the Wall Street Journal:
“The National Republican Senatorial Committee does not plan to spend money on its Delaware Senate nominee, Christine O’Donnell, an NRSC official said tonight... The official noted that if her position improves, the committee might reconsider its allocation of scarce resources.”

Last night Brett Baier on Fox News cut into Greta’s show and said that the NSRC had made a statement that they would not support O’Donnell, that the money would be better spent elsewhere. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.

We have met the enemy and they are the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC).

The "moderates" in the GOP have all crawled way out on the “She cannot win” limb. Now is the time to saw it off behind them

This thought needs to be made into a cartoon clip!

Agreed. Oh well, after November he and his ilk can be dealt with accordingly.

I agree, I was shocked as well. I will not be donating to the NSRC again unless there are major changes in leadership.

Rush has been right on about the “Ruling class”..

I suspect Cornyn was taking his marching orders from inside DC and at the RNC. The American people need to be pushing back at the establishment and the establishment types and get it into the heads of these politicians that they represent us and that we will not be cowed. The Karl Rove implosion is a distraction. Fireworks are fun to watch, but it won’t put people back to work or get this country’s economy going and it won’t put liberals out of power.

It wasn’t a rumor... Cornyn said it with his own mouth last night.
