Ellmers miffed by a party snub
Raleigh News & Obstructor ^ | November 5, 2010 | BARBARA BARRETT AND JAY PRICE

Even before it's certain that Renee Ellmers will go to Washington as the new congresswoman from North Carolina's 2nd District, she is showing a vigorous streak of independence from her party's establishment.

Ellmers, whom the tea party backs, and Carter Wrenn, a political consultant to her campaign, are sniping at the National Republican Congressional Committee for not supporting her campaign and for refusing to lend aid for a looming vote recount. Ellmers, a Dunn Republican, is leading in votes unofficially, but not enough to prevent a recount.

The feud started this summer after Wrenn said the NRCC knew the identities of the two young men who filmed a now-notorious video of Ellmers' opponent, Democratic U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge, losing his temper and grabbing one of the men on a Washington sidewalk.

Mitt Romney (hiding somewhere):
”The NRSC and NRCC money is for me.
And only for men, men, who support me.
And now that my Romneycare (funded 60% by US taxpayers)
is law and is pushed by my chosen (RINO) Republicans,
a little self examination is in order.
You may want to ask yourself 'if I had spent my time promoting
RomneyCare and Mitt Romney, could not
I have today garnered more support
of both Obama and Romney?'
.
Now you conservatives can go play with your bananas.“

No money to any of the Republican “committees”. Give only to the Conservative candidates. Starve the beast. This is the only thing they understand.

Starving them is happening and still they don’t understand.

What will it take to rid us of RINO’s.

Starving takes a while. This is a process not an event. Keep at it.

Don’t blame her one bit...

It appears the, “a”, battle now will be to educate the NRCC, and the Republican Party leadership in general to wake up and smell the Tea brewing very nicely all around the country...

My bet is they do not change, or even listen, much less get with the program...Thats ok, it’ll make the job in 2012, 2014, that much easier...

Our job is farrrrrrrrr, from over...Gloat now, but be ready to jump all over this again very soon...

I believe we dug as deep as we could into the democrat party base as we could this time...I believe we should keep the pressure on, and encourage those in position to challenge those seats jazzed to step up again in the next election cycle...

Don’t think it’ll be too hard to identify and pressure those Republicans in name only to straighen up and fly right, or look for a significant challenge from grassroots conservative candidates, who we know will be villified and unsupported by the elitists and feduciary purses who do control the agenda somewhat...

As soon as they realize that money doesn’t buy you everything, things “may” turn around a bit...But it is not going to be an easy road to travel...Lots of potholes...

Romney will not be nominated. The TEA Party will see to that. So all Romney backers will have to support Obama in ‘12 if they want to continue being Socialist Democrat Lite.

She has hired 11 attorneys for the recount and says it will cost $50,000 to defend ourselves against another Frankenesque steal.

For those that don't know- North Carolina is a state ran by Democrats that will do whatever it takes to win. I volunteered for the Jeff Miller campaign and was surprised by what Shuler was allowed to get away with.

Here in Georgia we punished Roy Barnes for such behavior. Most of us didn't like Deal but Barnes’ evil commercials sealed his fate.

It's time for the RINO's to form their own spineless "moderate" party and leave the GOP to the adults.

Sent a email to Steele at the RNC about supporting Renee Ellmers’ recall. RNC can be a disgrace.

Ellmers needs our help. SarahPAC and the RNC have ponied up some money but she needs at least $50,000. If you’re not totally cashed out, please consider donating what you can. Thanks.

We can’t keep letting sleazy Dems steal elections.
