NRSC Should be Renamed "The Good Ole Boys Fund"



I refuse to give money to the Republican National Senatorial Committee.  I learned a long time ago not to support this organization.  I do not believe a beltway based money machine should meddle in the internal politics of a state’s primary.  That is a family fight and outsiders should stay clear. 

I once thought the main mission of the NRSC was to help republican candidates beat their democratic foes.  I was wrong.  Chairman Jerry Moran publicly stated that NRSC is designed to help incumbents.  Here is a quote from the Hill:
.
"The primary purpose of the NRSC is to support Republican incumbents and also to build a majority. We want to make certain that Sen. Cochran wins the runoff, and in addition to that we want to make sure that seat is held by a Republican in November," Moran said.

They helped many incumbents defeat Tea Party candidates, including Sen. Pat Roberts in Kansas.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee should be renamed The Good Ole Boys Fund, and anyone not associated with the establishment should stay clear of it.
