Republican Nationl Committee vs. Conservatives

Not only is the NRCC going to waste donor dollars on a failed candidate with no hope of winning the race, they’re also going to attack the actual conservative in the race!  --From the Tax Day Tea Party website

Unbelieveable, Politico reported today that the NRCC is actually goinjg to step up their efforts and dump another $300,000 into to media buys for far left candidate Dede Scozzafava. ...

Not only is the NRCC going to waste donor dollars on a failed candidate with no hope of winning the race, they’re also going to attack the actual conservative in the race!

At this point, the only logical conclusion is that the NRCC (a huge hub of establishment consultants who leech off of donor money) and the rest of the old guard will arm itself for battle and wage war against the grassroots base rather than give it control.

For those in our movement who are saying “we don’t need to wage war against the machine right now”… wake up. The machine is waging war against you.

This is a fight the movement has been itching for. In my opinion, we should confront this machine and do so immediately.

Food for thought.

When will the Republicans ever learn?  Perhaps in 2010 and 2012, when we vote against the RINOs, both those in office and those running for office, and vote for the Conservative.

Jeb Babbin writes at Human Events, Who are the Tea Partyers?

Just who are the Tea Partyers? And how far will the Republican establishment go to prevent the resurgence of Reagan conservatism? 

Those are the two questions which will decide whether the Republican Party can make a decisive comeback in the next year.

As Newt Gingrich told me in August -- at the height of the town hall uprising against Obamacare -- the Tea Partyers seem to be the same kind of people who rose up in anger to support Ross Perot in 1992. 

Perot’s “Reform Party” achieved 20% of the 1992 vote, enough to enable Democrat Bill Clinton to gain the White House.  Incumbent George H.W. Bush was seen as an ultimate Washington insider who had distanced himself too much from the policies of the president who he had served for the preceding eight years. The Perotistas were people highly distrustful, fed up with Congress and Washington politics which they believed was ignoring them.  (continue reading)

We don't need another Ross Perot, in my humble opinion.

The GOP seems fixated on mass marketing -- the "more is better" approach. Like any business, it must continuously grow in order to survive.

Unfortunately, the GOP is going the way of the Dems and embracing quantity over quality. Compare this with many "mainstream" Christian churches that are now trying to attract more members by "reaching out" to different beliefs. They end up driving people away because the average person actually prefers quality in their life.

As for the churches, what they do is water down their beliefs. The same goes for the GOP, they are watering down their basic beliefs that Conservatives still believe in. We don't want a watered down Conservatism, because that ends up being Liberalism-lite.

This is exactly why the RNC is not getting another cent from me.

I hope we do see conservatives getting elected over RINO's in 2010 and 2012 but I hope that Rush Limbaugh's nightmare of finding the conservatives in a 3rd party does not come true. The conservatives might make a statement and still lose to the Dimocrats. Hopefully they can replace the RINOs in the primaries and run as Republicans and WIN!

However, whatever will be will be. It's kinda like having surgery for a massive cancer. Much damage is done to the host and much pain and suffering must be endured until the cancer (the RINOs) is eliminated.

Dede Scozzafava is in third place in the New York race, the republican is in second place, and the conservative Doug Hoffman is in first place by 23%.

"The Club for Growth, Concerned Women of America, former Sen. Fred Thompson (R-Tenn.) and evangelical leader Gary Bauer have all endorsed Doug Hoffman, the Conservative Party candidate."

In addition to Sarah Palin and others who are seeing the light and endorsing Hoffman. Also his campaign contributions are huge.

A third "Perot-esque" party would doom us like half of Europe and the Middle East where coalition governments are the norm.

As there are "probably" more conservatives who subscribe to the GOP than the SOBs, we need to gradually bring in more conservatives. First get the Republican Party to take notice, then the rest.

At the moment, it might be better to concentrate on getting the GOP to win and then alter their mindset once in power.
