In a New York Times story we learn that the NRSC is pulling contracts with advertising and PR firms who have worked with the Senate Conservative Fund, even going so far as to call individual Senators and warn them that they’d better not employ agencies who have done work with such anti-establishment interlopers, cartoonish true believers who somehow got it into their fevered heads that we need not, as a matter of fact, have a permanent ruling elite made up of lifelong politicians — and that perhaps it’s not so terribly unhealthy to send to DC voices that actually represent the constituents in their states, not just their cronies in DC, in the US Chamber of Commerce, or on K Street.
Meanwhile, both the NRSC and the NRCC have become notorious for withholding funds from GOP candidates who don’t hew to the Karl Rove strategy of rebranding the party as Kennedy Democrats.
It’s an all out war now, people, and it’s being led by the same sleazy insiders who continue to give us McCains and Bushes and Romneys — while spending all their time fighting not the Democrats, but rather those politicians who rise up as representatives of the GOP’s rapidly deserting base. They’ve let the Democrats all but buy the state of Virginia. They are actively seeking to run “pro-business” corporatist candidates against TEA Party incumbents — even as Ann Coulter, who when she wasn’t humping Mitt Romney was humping the hamhocks of Chris Christie, suggests that our desire to primary those Republicans who actively fight against our wishes is insane and near treasonous. Revealing herself for who she really is: just another Connecticut GOP party flak who got rich telling conservatives what they once wanted to hear.
Our incumbency rate in this country gives us re-elect numbers higher than the House of Commons, meaning that our political aristocracy is actually more entrenched than that of the country from which we declared our independence. That right there? Situational irony.
This ruling class has long controlled the money and has had the power to make or break candidates. And they often would rather see a Democrat win then allow another troublesome TEA Party outsider to enter their exclusive club of polished DC blue bloods.
Which is why we need to circumvent all these GOP Clearing House organizations like the NRSC, some of which have taken to rebranding themselves “conservative” in order to fool the base, but who remain at heart “center-rightests” whose only desire is to be seen as bipartisan, to “govern effectively” from the top down, in a compassionate conservative instance of the technocratic nanny state.
And the first step to stop these arrogant losing more slowly types is to back candidates using direct contributions — a truly grassroots approach. Or, if you prefer to think in metaphor, to back particular individuals over the attempt by the GOP collective to manage our decisions for us.
We need to “tread lightly” at this point. We need people like Ann Coulter on our side, even if she isn’t “pure”. If the Establishment GOP decides they would rather have leftists in power than Tea Party conservatives, we are screwed.
@Angel Artiste:
I’m not too sure they haven’t already made that decision.
This is what Obama has brought to the country.
Once the ideology of the Liberal Progressives wears off for the 20 to 36 something’s and they realize they are all sharing the same ‘misery’ of which they “voted for”… perhaps, but not certain, they will look back and wish they had listened to those “teabaggers”…who’s fight for Liberty, Freedom and your “Sovereign God given rights” and NOT the “rights The Government decides to give you”…
…and that your Sovereign, God given rights are more important than the ideology of a nanny state utopia and a nanny Government utopia…where misery will most assuredly prevail and those who are “the Rich” will not be you, but will be those (rich politicians) who Lord over you…those who you elected into power through your own unwillingness to learn from the wisdom of our History and those who came before you…who’s wisdom you have an inability to comprehend and learn from…
We, as a Nation, in just a few short years have just about broken even with those who work and those who take…
… Once the real “working” crowd/class has retired…. or is dead at the hands of the Obamacare, “we” decide “or else” Government…
…AND the 50% working and 50% not working crowd… “shifts” to 60% not working to 40% working…then ”shifts” again to 70% not working crowd and 30% working crowd ….
What exactly will the Government…the entitlement crowd, and the “collective” Progressives and Liberals do???
Exactly what will be the next ‘shift’ in America to the far Left mean for us all ???
The sleaze bag, greedy, elitist (we know what’s best for you) politicians and their mouth pieces…the useful idiots… know and have known those courageous “Teabaggers” who keep pushing forward against the odds…the teabaggers who know and understand what our Founding fathers vision was… who understand how fragile we have become because of the foothold Progressive, Liberal, Socialist-Communist in our Government has taken…think-See “ObamaCare”…this is the biggest takeover, the biggest invasion into our LIVES, our Privacy, our Freedoms, Liberty and our Sovereignty as human beings…under “God”
It is only going to get worse….and I do pray those “Teabaggers” Prevail…

YES AND THEY NEED THE PEOPLE TO help them elected
with words and put the money with the word also,
because they are against an organisation
like the mafia work, with unions and indoctrination of the citizenry, who have demonize the TEA PARTY,
they are working hard and are being attack by an institution there to manage the PEOPLE’S TAX the IRS, THAT HAPPENED TO HELP OBAMA election,how low can they get? yes that low, IT’S NOT THEIR BUSINESS TO INTIMIDATE THE TARGET THEY CHOSE SO TO WIN OBAMA ELECTION,
IT’S NOT THE UNIONS BUSINESS ALSO BUT THEY DID IT,
the TEA PARTY have made progress even if the government try to send their ZOMBIES to intimidate them,
those elected are doing an excellent job AND EARN THE PEOPLE’S MONEY SEND TO THE GOVERNMENT, THEY ARE fearless of disturbing anyone who shout to them,
the best THE PEOPLE CAN FIND ON THEIR SIDES
in government to take the INTEREST of the PEOPLE BEFORE THINKING OF THEIR OWN JOBS, NOT LIKE THE OTHER DEMOCRATS
THESE TEA PARTY ARE FOR THE PEOPLE LIKE THEMSELVES, GOOD FAMILIES WHO TAKE CARE OF THEIR CHILDREN AND CHERICH THE AMERICAN’S VALUES GIVEN
FROM CENTURIES AGO,
THE PEOPLE HAVE HEARD AND NOTICE THEIR ACTIONS AND WILL GET THEM ELECTED MORE AND MORE
AS THEY REALIZE THE KIND OF SMART PERSON KNOWING THE LAWS, THEY ARE, AND EARN THEIR MONEY,
THAT’S WHY THEY ARE SO MUCH DEMONIZE BY THE DEMOCRATS WHO FEAR THEM, AND ARE AFRAID TO LOOSE THEIR JOBS, AND SOME REPUBLICANS WHO DON’T WANT TO WORK AS THEY ARE ELECTED TO DO, NOT TO BE DISTURBED BY ENERGIC YOUNG TEA PARTY,
YOU SEE THEIR PASSION FOR AMERICA, THEY ARE THE KEEPER OF THE FLAME, THEY SURE DO BEST IN GOVERNMENT,
I have forwarded email to Sen Cornyn’s office that this action by the RINOs has ensured that I will give no money EVER to the GOP, and will give money only to specific candidates who publicly express conservative principles a la Cruz, Lee, Love, West, etc.
If the RINOs insist on alienating conservatives to be Rovian Demo-light prog turds, then it is long past dumping the GOP and establishing a true conservative party.

AS USUAL THANK YOU,
@Bees#5
You are so right on this Bees, I love it!
Bees the reason why the Left/Liberals, DEMORATS AND RINO’s “dissects” the Tea Party and accuses them of being “Extreme” is because this country has gone SO FAR LEFT….Our Government and our so called Politicians are so out of touch with our Founding Fathers WISDOM, our Constitution and the Creation of this Great Nation called AMERICA…EVERYONE ELSE HAS LOST TOUCH and are UNWILLING to LEARN and ACCEPT FACTS…what it now all Boils down to is GREED AND (the wrong kind of) POWER…which ultimately ends up in Tyranny.
God Bless the Tea Party and Conservatives…
