The Tea Party Express issued the following statement in response to preliminary reports that the National Republican Senatorial Committee would not support their own nominee for U.S. Senate in Delaware:
"The National Republican Senatorial Committee has reportedly said they will not support their own nominee for U.S. Senate in Delaware. This is a rash statement that hopefully they will reconsider once good judgment sets in.
"The NRSC tried to meddle in the vote recount for liberal Republican Lisa Murkowski in Alaska. Now they say they aren't committed to supporting their own nominee in Delaware? When will this insanity stop?
"We encourage the NRSC to take a night off, get some sleep, and reconsider their rash statements. It is because of inexcusable conduct in Delaware and Alaska that so many conservatives have turned to the Tea Party Express, offering their support and their donations. These people have lost faith in the NRSC as just another big-government, Washington, D.C.-based organization that has contributed to the problems this country currently faces.
"If the NRSC is committed to defeating Democrats in November, then it is time for them to honor their mission statement and do just that. If they fail to do so, then they can expect millions of conservatives to continue to steer their donations and volunteer hours elsewhere.
"Wake up NRSC, the reason the tea party movement has grown into such a powerful force is because of the failures of establishment organizations such as yours to honor the principles of the Republican Party platform. You tried to force through the most liberal Republican in Congress on the voters of Delaware and they rejected you. Wake up, you are defying your own base, and will end up an irrelevant and impotent organization that serves to only amuse the corrupt political establishment in Washington, D.C.
"The Tea Party Express will back Christine O'Donnell in the general election along with every other candidate we've endorsed. We trust adults at the NRSC will come to their senses and realize that the people have spoken, and it's time for the NRSC to represent the Republicans it is supposed to represent."
RNSC is commiting political suicide. I wonder if they ever figure that out?
Did you hear Rush Limbaugh talk about third party today?
He said that if the RNC doesn't shape up, in a three party system, Tea Party would be first, Republican Party would be third with about 10%.
IMHO this was BIG NEWS coming from the leader of the Republican Party.

Freep the Freeping NRSC’s inbox! info@nrsc.org
I’m headed there right now. Thanks.
Just who the hell can tell the NRSC from the RNC?
Different organizations, but with overlapping roles, and the exact same RINO mindset.
They endorse the same RINOs. They attack the same conservative candidates during GOP primaries, and they both eat the same crow when the candidates they support bolt the party with their money, and the ones they spent millions of dollars to smear are the Republican nominees.
If the NRSC decides to alienate the Tea Party they will be forever out of decisions. Might as well fish for Sea Bass.
“On their Facebook page they take down comments as fast as they are posted if they are pro O’Donnell or pro Palin.”
Yes they do but the comments are still getting through. I left several and had only two deleted. I think they are not able to keep up or starting to give up.
Yes, the Reagan Democrats, the time is here. Good call.
I pledge not to give a dime to the NRSC, until they recognize that power (and money) flows from the consent of the governed. We are not giving you consent, NRSC, to trump our choice of representatives.
Jim Demint has his “Senate Conservatives Fund” which already has a contribute to O’Donnell spot set-up.
Yes, but the Senate Conservatives Fund needs to takeover the NRSC.
That reaction isn’t necessary, the NRSC is dependent on conservatives.
And so we don't support them. Let it begin. Time to take a stand and let the cards fall where they may.
Absolutely! I quit sending them money many years ago and concentrate on individual races. It’s time for all of us to do the same. The National Party has become the definition of Power Hungry and cares little about policy. It’s way past time to look elsewhere.
If this does not work, it’s third party time - regardless of the time if takes to gain control. Sometimes it is better to concentrate on the goal rather than the election.
My history escapes me somewhat but these clowns remind me of the Bismarckian Prussians who reveled in their uniforms and status as modern warfare swept them over and out of power.
Get with the program, dudes. We’d had enough.
This is the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave!
You will be required to explain that dance. Don’t do it now.
