National Republican Senatorial Committee Loves the Senate Conservatives Fund (Or At Least Its Money)
redstate.com ^ | 9/15/14 | Erick Erickson

Remember how the National Republican Senatorial Committee wanted everyone to know just how terrible the Senate Conservatives Fund is?

Remember how NRSC consultants took to op-ed pages, pushed reporters, and tweeted about the lavish and extravagant expenses of SCF?

Remember how when a candidate got endorsed by SCF, everyone knew immediately NRSC would support the opposite candidate out of spite? (See e.g. Ben Sasse v. Shane Osborn)

Remember how the NRSC, Chamber of Commerce, and other establishment groups poured tons of money into primaries to stop SCF gains and those of other outside groups?

Well, NRSC spent so much money trying to ensure its incumbents were protected that it now has no money to pick up new seats. Brilliant strategy there Jerry Moran and Josh Holmes. Just brilliant.

So what is the NRSC doing now? Begging the Senate Conservatives Fund to spend money. The NRSC is worried about Iowa. Joni Ernst, backed the Senate Conservatives Fund, won. The race is not going as swimmingly as the NRSC wants. Ernst, by the way, is an excellent pick, but the Democrats are pulling out all the stops to hold on.

So now there is this.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee has spent or reserved $3.4 million in Iowa airtime. But there is particular frustration across the GOP establishment with the outside group Senate Conservatives Fund, which backed Ernst in the GOP primary but has yet to reserve any airtime to help out in the fall.

But . . . but . . . but . . . Josh Holmes, Jerrr Moran, Brad Dayspring, and all their friends said the Senate Conservatives Fund was a bad, terrible, awful group and anyone who gets their support should be defeated.

My, my.

The NRSC can **** off.

If the SCF ever gave our enemies our cash, that would be the end of the SCF.

So, the NRSC GOPe Karl-Rovists can pound sand.

Wondering if the SCF kicked back, and let the NRSC go broke so they couldn’t fight them anymore.

Or give through the SCF. They allow you to specify who you want to give to. They have some House candidates, too.
Yesterday, I donated to Ernst and the guy that beat Cantor through the SCF. And since she wasn’t listed on SCF, I donated to Mia Love directly.

National Republican Senatorial Committee? Interesting thread on this a couple of days ago...

It was titled "What's Going On Here?!'

Seems someone's hubby read the fine print at the bottom of the funding email...

My Hubby sent me this in email:

Got an email from the Natl Repub Senate Comm. begging for money and supposedly authored by Mitch McWimpel In the fine print at the bottom it reads:

This email was sent by: Romney for President Inc., 138 Conant St., 1st Floor, Beverly, MA 01915.

So I decided to check it out. First I did a search on "Romney for President Inc., 138 Conant St., 1st Floor, Beverly, MA 01915. 

I found all sorts of strange things..."

Checking the info was rather enlightening. I added their email header to my spam filter...

Your mileage may vary.

I get the gist of the article and it’s excellent. However, I wonder why the SCF isn’t supporting Joni Ernst. Can someone help me out on this?
