The Republican National Committee is making its first large financial commitment to the party's candidate in a New York special election, fighting back criticism that the party has allowed Democrats to jump to an early lead.

The RNC will give $85,000 to the coordinated campaign efforts, the maximum allowed by federal law. And the RNC will give the New York state Republican Party what a source described as a six-figure transfer in order to run more advertising on behalf of Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava (R).

Meanwhile, the RNC has sent two paid staffers to help Scozzafava's campaign, and it has committed to fully funding the party's victory program, aimed at increasing turnout in the Nov. 3 special election.

Yep. Their last Presidential nominee was a real winner. Wow. Look where our country is today on account of it.

cc2k: please post your excellent summary writeup of this big R democRat so others have background....

[reefdiver]

And the RNC will ask me for a contribution soon. If we can’t push out the rinos I have to go elsewhere

[lack-of-trust]

To be fair to Mr Steel, the “C” in RNC stands for Committee. I don't believe he makes these candidate decisions.

Guaranteeing that the $85k will be wasted.

Obama and his fellow leftists are your enemy, not RINOS.

They gave ZERO support to Chicago Lady. She wasn’t third party. They HATE conservatives as much as the Democrats do.

Time for American Independent Party people to get together with Constitution Party and New York’s Conservative party, collect the authentic Americanists our of the GOP and make a new real party.

Whoever is not with us is against us.

Goin' rogue...

[webboy45]

Because of this I won’t donate to the RNC this year.

[GeronL]

and why is it that the real conservative candidates get NO support?

[St. Louis Conservative]

The real problem here is the NY GOP nominating this woman. The county GOP chair just handpicked her. The RNC is obligated to support Republican candidates, pure and simple. I don’t like it, but it is what it is. The problem is the NY GOP party apparatus.

[GeronL]

They did NOT support Roseann Pulido last year did they??

She was their nominee but she was TOO CONSERVATIVE and she is a FReeper.

Stop making excuses.

[mojitojoe]

Steele is a DNC sleeper. I’m convinced.
______________
Hell yes he is. Get him OUT!

[Soul Seeker]

Ha. Is that why they backed out of funding Bachmann in her race last year until conservatives reacted in outrage and forced them to do so?

The GOP establishment will cut conservatives at the throat with it comes to financial backing and support from the inner circles.

[Krodg]

I’ll donate to Sarah when she announces.

[pgkdan]

Come on Freepers, open up those wallets and pocketbooks. s/

OK. Where do I send a contribution for Hoffman?

The GOP is very used to being in the minority..in fact, I think that they are real comfortable with it. Like in the old Foley as speaker days, the GOP only wanted to make friends and leave the floor early. Enough of the BS. $ for conservatives/patriots. No money for GOPlib/rino’s.
