These dummies are going to waste a golden opportunity in November if they don't get their act together. 

Conservative leader tells donors to stop giving to RNC
Posted: April 1st, 2010

From CNN Political Editor Mark Preston

(CNN) – The head of an influential social conservative organization urged supporters Wednesday to stop donating to the Republican National Committee and instead contribute to its own coffers or to candidates with like-minded goals.

Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, made the plea in his "Washington Update" column posted on the organization's Web site following the revelation that the RNC paid for a night out at a risqué Hollywood nightclub.

"I've hinted at this before, but now I am saying it - don't give money to the RNC," Perkins wrote in his column. "If you want to put money into the political process, and I encourage you to do so, give directly to candidates who you know reflect your values. Better yet, become a member of FRC Action and learn about the benefits it offers, including participating in the FRC Action PAC which can support candidates who will advance faith, family and freedom!"

Perkins is the latest social conservative leader to openly criticize RNC Chairman Michael Steele for allowing the controversial expenditure to happen under his watch. Former Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pennsylvania, and Penny Nance, the head of Conservative Women for America, both publicly questioned Steele's leadership after the nightclub story mushroomed into a major headache for the RNC.

"If the RNC wants to represent conservatives and the Republican Party, then they have to act like conservatives - in a moral, fiscal and ethical manner," Nance said. "When RNC officials seem to think it wise to spend a grandmother's monthly donation on wooing the younger generation by taking them to a bondage-themed sex club instead of helping to elect a conservative, a real problem exists."

The RNC has emphasized that Steele was not at the club, nor did he approve of the expense. The staffer who did has since been fired.

I disagree.  I am sick of the GOP and wish we no longer had a republican party. 

Let the RINOs go the dems and let the libertarians come forward ans put forth a real limitied govt, pro-freedom, pro-economic growth agenda. 

[Dos Equis]

I don't think that's very realistic 33.  The two-party system isn't going to change in November.  There aren't enough viable third-party candidates to make a dent.  I don't like the idea of either Democrats or Republicans having total control of D.C.  That's why I want some turnover this fall.

The democrats are communists and we all know that.  But to have to deal with the back-stabbers like Graham, McCain, et al is just horrible and makes it that the gop is stuck as a party.

Can't really argue with you.  They still don't have a clear leader or clear agenda. 

[240 is Back]

it's a good message - keep givig the money - but give it to the candidates that best reflect your views.

At the very least, Steele won't be using it to pay for his limo to sell his book, repub vacations to hawaii, or titty bar trips, right?  You know the Repub or tea party candidate of your liking will have access to the $.

Most people I talk to are sick of the GOP and want a Ron Paulesq, Libertarian alternative.

tax cuts for fetuses isn't a clear agenda?

Straw - I think people deserve a real choice, one way or the other.  What we have now is a half-assed charade where both parties are much closer in their actions than their rhetoric would lead one to believe. 

Now you and I believe in mostly opposite things, but I believe we should have a choice, not a food fight over bs. 

[Tito24]

good luck

our system is infected with special interest dollars and with the SC decision it's only going to get worse

If Repubs want to get back in power then they need to stop pandering to christians and get back to their fiscal conservative, small government, non-interventionist roots

Look, I have been entirely consistent, i think, that the only way the GOP will ever really have a chance ibn the long term is to embrace a Ron Paul, small government, live and let live, low tax, lowe spending stance. 


If they stick with the karl rove, GWB delay, mccain, garbage, forget it. 

[Purge_WTF]

  Since Perkins supports faith-based candidates, let him donate money to the Constitution Party, of which I'm a proud member.

  The third-party chant is getting louder and louder.
