Report: National Republican Senatorial Committee Won’t Fund Christine O’Donnell

[Agorism]

I favored O'Donnell over Castle, but this is still fine... slightly more money for Rand Paul, and Cornyn looks like enemy #1 of the Tea Party in Texas since he leads NRSC.

Cornyn needs a primary challenge anyways. Check out his dumb ad he was running the previous primary.

We have another 4 years until we can get Cornhole out of there. Also note, he is being hyped up by the powers that be, as the Washington Post naming him as a powerful senator and Texas Monthly calling him the most influential Texan in Washington.

[MozoVote]

The best thing about the O'Donnell win that it does force average Republicans to think about who their party leaders are, and how their donations get used.

[Original_Intent]

If the NRSC won't support her, I hope they won;t be asking Delaware GOP folks for any donations - ever. This really has exposed how it is the party insiders vs the people.

[cindy25]

they will
give them a few days to sulk
they want the seat

If the gop keeps playing their lil reindeer games . We will need to build a new political coalition as the gop alienates themselves! if the gop fails us we will need a new brandname and platform and a new political coalition! yes that means the lp/cp and indys will need to actually work together and form a new party with a new brand name/platform!! I hope the gop wakes up soon or we will have to figure out something new or the gop will screw this country up like it has already!! Wear your shitty boots we will be crawling around in alot of crap while trying to reclaim the failed gop!!

na they will support the dem before supporting change in the gop! remember the gop will burn anything to win even lose!!

I agree 100%. The GOP is far more threatened by small government conservatives than they are Democrats.

[paulitics]

This is totally Karl Rove. I just watched the Hannity interviews, and he has some personal beef with her it seems. Basically, he explains how batshit crazy she is. He said that it was better to support a RINO than her, even a cap and tax socialist.

[libertarian4321]

O'Donnell started her political career by campaigning against masturbation. Really?

How bad was this Castle guy if he lost to this piece of work?

[parocks]

Actually, maybe, maybe not.

Tea Party Express money would go to Rand, Angle, Miller, O'Donnell, Lee, Buck?
I'm not sure exactly who, but definitely O'Donnell.

If NRSC money doesn't go to O'Donnell, that means extra Tea Party money goes to Delaware, and DeMint money goes to Delaware.

The money that would've gone to O'Donnell doesn't necessarily go to Rand, it may go anywhere.

Cornyn will likely be out of the NRSC. He will face a primary in 2014.

So you know that the enemy of your enemy (unless you LIKE Karl Rove) is your friend, right?

[parocks]

You are describing what is happening right now.

The tea party is kicking the GOPs ass.

The tea party is taking control of the GOP.

Rand is one of them.

O'Donnell is another. Miller, Angle, Buck, Lee.

[itshappening]

Some of them will get co-opted by Delay and his fellow crooks

Look at the foreign policy statements. I still think the best (in order) are: Rand Paul and Mike Lee (who is already a senator in waiting), Angle possibly the rest are neo-conish in their FP statements.

O'Donnell I think can be worked upon. Maybe she can benefit from a visit by RP who does well among Indies

[LibertyEagle]

I'm not surprised. The NRSC ran fundraisers for Grayson.

Cornyn is one heck of a lot better than Hutchison with regard to his voting record, though. But, he sure isn't a limited government conservative.

A political party didn't screw up this country. Big government leftist pukes did and they exist on both sides of the aisle.

[MozoVote]

The real inside story will be what happens in the state GOP. Will they accept the nominee? If not, then she could become a local "Sarah Palin" next year and lead a charge of activists into the state convention.

[parocks]

When you say "neocon" do you mean "hawk"?

Republicans are mostly hawks these days. And you don't see too many Democrats upset by Obamas wars.

So, look at the entire picture.

Rand, O'Donnell, Angle, Miller, Lee, Buck. All tea partiers who fought hard against the Republicans for the same reasons we're apparently not completely happy with anyone not named Ron Paul. The tea party is about Limited Constitutional Government. So are we.

We had 2 Senate nominations we wanted. We got one, Rand, with a lot of help from the tea party. The other, Schiff, did not do well. The tea party candidates are the best of this new bunch of Senate Candidates, and they're right on most of the issues.

Well the more people wake up to the fact that it is not Republicans vs Democrats, it is Insider Party Machine vs the People - the quicker people wake up to that, the better for us. So thanks to the NRSC for drawing the battle lines and making that clear.

[itshappening]

you cannot have limited gov't without cutting foreign and defense spending, everything else is a lie

only Rand Paul has said that, the rest I am certain are frauds

Buck and Miller are attorney's and in the same mould as a lot of politicians in Washington. Lee is at least a constitutonal attorney and I think understands foreign policy better. Rubio is a Aspen institute sleeper.

How do you know the likes of Buck and Miller won't go to Washinton and become co-opted by Delay and his fellow lobbyists? You don't and their hawkish statements on foreign policy and support of the military industrial complex tell you they wont do much to really, truly cut spending

Not that it's good to have a batshit crazy politician (aren't a lot of them?), but it's the voting that counts. If she votes against the things we want her to vote against, it's a plus.

...

Yes, spending on wars and other foreign ventures needs to be eliminated too. That's important. Maybe these new-comers will be co-opted in that direction. We can hope.

As for politicians, how do you know any of them will do what they say? Most don't. The ones that have been there and proven that they will turn on us need to be thrown out. that's what this particular race was about.

[Aratus]

is sen. mitch mcconnell's Id actually the major thinktank driving the NRSC and he's still a henry cabot lodge junior person?

[georgiaboy]

Well the more people wake up to the fact that it is not Republicans vs Democrats, it is Insider Party Machine vs the People - the quicker people wake up to that, the better for us. So thanks to the NRSC for drawing the battle lines and making that clear.

yup, that plus big gov't vs. small gov't.

Cornyn: NRSC fully backing O’Donnell, giving maximum donation (http://hotair.com/archives/2010/09/15/cornyn-nrsc-fully-backing-odonnell-giving-maximum-donation/)


Let there be no mistake: The National Republican Senatorial Committee – and I personally as the committee’s chairman – strongly stand by all of our Republican nominees, including Christine O’Donnell in Delaware.

I reached out to Christine this morning, and as I have conveyed to all of our nominees, I offered her my personal congratulations and let her know that she has our support. This support includes a check for $42,000 – the maximum allowable donation that we have provided to all of our nominees – which the NRSC will send to her campaign today.

We remain committed to holding Democrat nominee New Castle County Executive Chris Coons accountable this November, as we inform voters about his record of driving his county to the brink of bankruptcy and supporting his party’s reckless spending policies in Washington.

The more divisions within the neocon circle the better. I guess when picking the lesser evil, I'd rather have a nutball hawk than a neo con.

When has Rand said that? Every foreign policy statement that he's released has been hawkish, pro-military garbage. I thought this was an interesting article, even though I do not like what this site usually says about Ron, they are right about Rand.

http://wonkette.com/415519/doctor-rand-paul-does-not-actually-care-much-about-changing-wars-on-terror-countries



Not only is he much meaner than his kindly old radical father, the deity Ron, but on the foreign policy side, there aren’t very many (and will probably be ZERO by the time this campaign ends) similarities to his father’s minimalist war & torture view, the one that appeals to certain young lefties and left-libertarians.

[Brian4Liberty]

We'll see how Rand votes. Take those divide and conquer articles with a grain of salt.

Cornyn: NRSC fully backing O’Donnell, giving maximum donation (http://hotair.com/archives/2010/09/15/cornyn-nrsc-fully-backing-odonnell-giving-maximum-donation/)

NRSC just called me touting their $42,000 maximum donation to Christine O'Donnell.

I think they've officially thrown their hands up in the air and said, "Screw it. Let's just support them or else we're going to be further marginalized."
