WASHINGTON – Republican prospects in U.S. Senate races this November grew grimmer Friday, as the head of the party's campaign arm announced he must reduce its budget because GOP senators are raising too little money.

With all due respect. I hope they look in the mirror to see who’s to blame.

I wonder why?

I haven't given a cent to the RNC for a long, long time.

I just couldn't see my money going to support campaigns for RINOs.

I save my donations for conservatives.

a quick snapshot of a couple items in the article.

Sen. Ensign (R-NV), party head for GoP senate campaign committee, readily concedes 2-4 seats loss minimum.

35 seats in play 23 GoP 12 Dems,, 5 GoP retirees, no dem retirees.

All I would ask is..

What was the price of gas at your local station and why are Dems being rewarded for gross incompetence?

Very insensitive remark, Mr. Sappy!

Just think how this kind of comment hurts the feelings of people like Snowe, Collins, etc.

They'd like to grow balls like Barbara Boxer and Hillary Clinton, but it's impossible.

Ditto.

But they won't. They still haven't figured out how illegals, amnesty and glo-bull warming cost them the majority.

The GOP needs to take a hint from Obammie and his band of ‘RATS and start hitting foreigners up for contributions. Obammie is raking it in from foreigners who want to see America become another third world sewer like the one they live in.

The Republicans are sure to gain at least Lieberman’s seat. After the election, he will be expelled from the Dem caucus and will caucus with the Republicans.

The President proposes the Congress disposes.
Look at the budget. We don’t have a revenue problem, we have a SPENDING problem.
If Republicans act like Democrats, why do we need two parties?

So Cry Me A River...

The Pubbies can get back to conservative governance and then I will get back to giving them money.

Not a dime otherwise.

“a return to conservatism and growing some balls would solve this problem, instantly.”

So you are donating to candidate Shaffer in Colorado, then?

There are conservatives with balls. Are they swimming with money? Time to help them out.

Appeasing socialists to expand the voter base isn’t working.

The NRSC’s support of Chafee and Specter has a lot to do with this.

I tell that to the National Party every time they call me. Also, tell them if they are going to govern according to the whim of lobbyists, then that is who they are going to have to go to for campaign money.
