Yeah. I sent back an RNC “survey” fundraiser letter with a bold note stating the RNC would get money from me when it started acting like conservative principles mattered. And Steele start the process by resigning.
The thing about the letter that I found most sickening, and I do mean sickening, was the 2 page survey sounded like it was penned by a hard right person such as myself.
Why is that sickening? Because the RNC is obviously trying to scam us. They know they need conservatives to win. They know that conservative candidates and positions win. And yet they steamroll any conservative candidate they can, they bring out the big guns and funds for the RINOS (think Charlie Crist). And then they send out a strongly worded conservative survey, knowing that’s what we want to hear, and thinking we will believe they mean it.
Hey folks, the RNC and the GOP think you are just plain stupid. Nothing has changed.
I also contribute DIRECTLY to good conservative candidates.
The RNC is a disaster as are the state GOP parties.
In NYS the average age of the chairmen is 80 - they can’t relate. They still think they can unilaterally crown candidates in the back rooms - ala Scazzafava.
The tea party grassroots are filling the void left by the old men grasping to power in these county GOP committees.
Either the Tea Partiers are going to have to subsume the structure of the Republican Party - including all its Committeemen and nominating committees - or Michael Steele, and the rest of the country, will KNOW that Republicans can’t win back anything - the House, the Senate or the Oval Office.
He seems content to be the laughingstock-in-big-suits that heads a diminishing and increasingly irrelevant party.
re: Hey RNC. Can you here us now?
Amen! If I were the RNC my fear would be that those who are willing to donate would figure out they really don’t need my organization to do so. Frankly, I can’t think of a thing they do that we couldn’t do for ourselves. I guess the convention would be a bit tricky but I bet we could find a city that would love to hold it and take care of all the details!
Guess I wasn’t alone when I kept telling RNC “No more money for them to share with back-stabbing RINOs”.
This a lot like Tough Love, when they holler UNCLE, we’ll talk.
Well, just damn. After I finished sending checks to Marco Rubio, Peter Schiff, Rand Paul, and the Club for Growth I was just plumb tapped out on my contributions budget. I’ve got a few cancelled stamps for the RNC if they can use ‘em....

Us
Now?
As Rino Twinkletoes Graham and McCain made clear - they don’t want conservatives in the party. They want moderates (liberals). Unfortunately for the GOP, liberals are Democrats. They give their money to the DNC.
But we must fund conservative candidates directly if we are going to turn this nightmare around.
