Judge Rules in Favor of Democratic Rat - Chris Anglin

Image result for rat chewing on a paper

If you leave a hole big enough for a rat to gets its head in, you’ll end up with an infestation. Chris Aglin is a Democratic party rat who found a hole in a law and is gnawing on judicial ballots in hopes of splitting the GOP ticket.


Judge Rebecca Holt ruled in favor of this rat and the GOP has no one to blame but themselves. Democrats are unsavory characters who will do anything to win. Chris Anglin is a slip and fall lawyer who was a registered Democrat until last June. His campaign is ran by a Democratic party operative. The lawyer who represented Anglin is also a Democrat. These people are fooling no one.


RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN/AP) - A judge has ruled in favor of a North Carolina Supreme Court candidate who sued after a law was passed that says a judicial candidate's party affiliation won't be listed next to the candidate's name if it was changed less than 90 days before filing for a race.

Judge Rebecca Holt ruled in favor of Chris Anglin Monday afternoon, preventing the state Board of Elections and Ethics Enforcement from printing ballots that label Anglin as anything other than a Republican.

He’s running as a Republican, but had been registered as a Democrat up until early June.

“I’m going to continue my race to run for disaffected Republicans who are disgusted by the actions of the Legislature,” Anglin said.

During a special session in July, the Republican-led General Assembly passed a law that would have resulted in Anglin having no party affiliation next to his name on the November ballot.

He’s facing off against current Republican Justice Barbara Jackson and Democrat Anita Earls.

Republicans have accused Anglin of entering the race to pull votes from Jackson in an effort to help Earls win, which he denies.



If anything, we’re disgusted at your actions, Mr. Anglin. You people have absolutely no shame and voters should be well aware of your actions and never allow you to hold an office of public trust.

Activist Judges in Pennsylvania Face Impeachment



Finally, Republican legislators are sticking up for themselves and pushing back against power hungry Progressives. Pennsylvania lawmakers have resolved to impeach a cabal of activist judges who’ve stolen their constitutionally mandated prerogatives.


A dozen GOP Pennsylvania lawmakers filed legislation on Tuesday to impeach four Democratic state Supreme Court justices who ruled the state’s congressional map was unconstitutionally gerrymandered and replaced it with a new one.


The Republicans moved to impeach Justices David Wecht, Christine Donahue, Kevin Dougherty and Debra McCloskey Todd, all Democrats who found the state’s congressional map was designed to favor Republicans and must be replaced before the May primary. Justice Max Baer (D), who also voted to strike down the map, but said it could remain in place until 2020, wasn’t mentioned in the impeachment resolution.



Democrats are stunned that Pennsylvania’s GOP is actually fighting back against this blatant power grab.


Douglas Keith, counsel at the Democracy Program at the Brennan Center for Justice, which filed a friend of the court brief supporting voters who had challenged the old map, said it was “remarkable” so many legislators were backing the impeachment effort.


“They may think this kind of posturing when they disagree with a court ruling will go over well with partisans in our current political climate, but if so they’re undermining our democracy to score cheap political points,” Keith said. “This is not what the impeachment power is for, and they’d be better served by following the lead of their Republican colleagues who said yesterday it’s time to move on.”


Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, now chair of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, accused Republicans of seeking retribution against justices who struck down the old map.


“This brazen attack on an independent court by those who are afraid to face the people in fair elections undermines our democratic values and must be rejected,” Holder said in a statement.



An independent court to Democrats means judges can violate every tenet of our constitutions both state and federal, and they sure as hell don’t give a damn about established law that impedes their progressive agenda.


I’d like to remind Eric “Gun Runner” Holder that impeachment is also a political ends to a means. I’m sure that’s something he can appreciate.

50 GOP National Security Experts are Just as Reckless as Trump





50 GOP national security experts have denounced Donald Trump as impetuous, reckless and erratic.  However, they’re completely fine with a traitor sitting in the Oval office.  The Clintons have and will sell this country down the river for a few pieces of silver.  Worse, we can expect members of her party and the mainstream media run blocker for the Clinton family as they enrich themselves at the expense of our security.  But apparently that’s perfectly fine with these patriots.


Can we consider these 50 intellectual stalwarts as impetuous, reckless and erratic?  Aren’t these the same people that brought us the Iraq war?  Weren’t we told that the Iraqi people were starving for freedom and that toppling Saddam Hussein would usher in a new age of Islamic enlightenment and democracy?  HA!


Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch reminded us that these are the same people who brought about this politically correct nonsense when it comes to Muslims, Islam and Jihad.  Here are some of his remarks in an interview with Stephen Bannon of Breitbart News.


These military leaders, who are indeed chop-blocking Donald Trump, are obviously part of a foreign-policy establishment that has failed, and knows that it has failed, and knows how threatened it is by the candidacy of Donald Trump, and is trying to protect its hold on power. But it’s really, incredibly, almost intellectually bankrupt for them to be going after Trump in defense of such a pitiable record.


And this:


I used to go in routinely, from 2005 to 2010, and show them the mindset of the terrorists. You can’t defeat an enemy that you don’t understand, much less one you refuse to understand. They are the foremost exponents of the idea that Islamic terrorism has nothing to do with Islam. Meanwhile, the terrorists keep insisting that it does. And until we listen to them, and until we study what their motives and goals are, we will never be able to defeat them.


Americans need to study the motives and goals of these Beltway Courtesans.  These Washington D.C. creatures are the ones who need to be defeated.

The Republican Party's Augean Stables




Washington D.C. is completely corrupt and it’s obvious that town is incapable of reform.   The past seven years have demonstrated interparty collusion when it comes to funding the federal government.  Sure, Republicans and Democrats bicker about policy, but both keep feeding the pig lest special interests, progressives, lobbyists and the mainstream media squeal from a dried up teat.


Everyone knows progressives lie, cheat and steal, however; we expect better from Republicans.  That’s why the past seven years have been a revelation.  It’s all about the club and the Star Chamber determines who has membership.  That’s why so many in the establishment refuse to back anyone who didn’t matriculate in the GOP fraternity.  That’s why many refuse to back Donald Trump.


Rep. Charlie Dent is a perfect example of a GOP operative who would rather have Hillary Clinton in the White House instead of an outsider like Donald Trump.  Here is his reasoning:


CHARLIE DENT (R-PA): Eric, you mention the Supreme Court. Look, I want to make sure that we put somebody in there that embraces our values on the Supreme Court, too. But then why would the nominee be picking a fight with John McCain and Kelly Ayotte? 


ERIC BOLLING (HOST): You play around these satellite things like he's picking a fight. How about immigration at the Supreme Court level? How about gun control at the Supreme Court level? How about minimum wage at the Supreme Court level? These are things I worry about, my 17- or 18-year-old son has to worry about and deal with for his lifetime, not whether or not Donald Trump fights with McCain. 

DENT: Eric, we need to maintain the Senate. Fighting with John McCain and Kelly Ayotte, two senators who are in very difficult reelections, criticizing them does not advance our interest in trying to maintain Supreme Court. If Chuck Schumer is in charge of the Senate, it’s going to be very difficult for President Trump, for example -- 

BOLLING: So not voting for Donald Trump will help you win the Senate, how? 

DENT: My priority in this election is to maintain the Senate and to maintain the House. Like I said -- 

BOLLING: So saying you’re going to sit this election out is a way that you'll maintain the Senate or the House? Congressman, it's backward logic. It's the reason the American public is so tired of business as usual in D.C.


Rep. Charlie Dent wants to maintain the Senate and the House?   To what purpose?  Did Republicans stop any of Obama’s executive orders and bureaucratic regulations?  Did they defund any unconstitutional programs that were forced down our throats?  Better yet, will they stop any of Hillary Clinton’s radical nominees for the Supreme Court?  The answer is no!


This election cycle is proof positive that it will be a herculean task to clean out the GOP’s Augean Stables.  Here is a video that demonstrates the power of incumbency and the near impossibility of unseating a D.C. politician.

Gov. Chris Christie Supports Black Robed Thuggery





Some of these republican candidates are making it easy to be winnowed out of consideration for the presidency.  Birthright citizenship eliminated over half of them and now we have a Kentucky county clerk jailed for exercising her First Amendment rights and defying a lawless federal judiciary.

Gov. Chris Christie has eliminated himself on both counts.  Here is his excuse for allowing birthright citizenship:

Christie: It’s in the Constitution and I don’t think we should be looking to change it. Now, what I said was, if we wanted to have comprehensive immigrant reform, I’d be willing to listen to anything. But the truth of the matter is that it’s not something that, that’s not something that we should be focused on, that is an applause line. The fact is that it is in the Constitution, let’s talk about the things we can fix, and fix simply without having to amend the Constitution where we would need two-thirds of the Congress and 38 states to agree.

Birthright citizenship for foreign nationals and their anchor babies is not in the Constitution.  I’m tired of politicians and media pundits perpetuating this lie.  The citizenship clause was designed to protect ex-slaves and their progeny.  That’s it!

Here is Gov. Christie’s response to the jailing of a Kentucky county clerk:

Earlier Tuesday, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Davis should be given another government job, because those licenses “have to be issued” under the law.
 “People have a right to practice their religion,” Christie said on “Fox and Friends” Tuesday morning. “Now, I’ve said what I would do with this woman is to move her to another job where this is not an objection for her. Because you have to follow the law — and the law has to be these licenses have to be issued.”
“I think we should give her an option to do another job where her religious concerns are not going to be put into the cross hairs on this. So we have to have respect for people, but the government also has to function,” Christie said, adding that fellow 2016 Republican candidates shouldn’t “play politics” with the case.

Do we have to remind Gov. Christie that Kim Davis is an elected official?  Maybe a federal judge can find him a new job too.  How about janitor?  I’m sure a black robed thug can divine that in the 14th Amendment as well.

GOP Establishment Created Trump Candidacy




The GOP establishment created Donald Trump’s candidacy.  Their lies and deceit are catching up to them.  Frank Luntz, a republican pollster, is dumbfounded at how steadfast the real estate mogul’s supporters are as he stumbles, bumbles and commits countless gaffs that would normally torpedo an establishment candidate. 

"This is a different cat. This is a different phenomenon," Luntz told reporters after conducting the focus group. 
"This is real. I'm having trouble processing it. Like, my legs are shaking," he added.
"I want to put the Republican leadership behind this mirror and let them see. They need to wake up. They don't realize how the grassroots have abandoned them. Donald Trump is punishment to a Republican elite that wasn’t listening to their grassroots.

The Republican establishment has long been at odds with its base.  Its fun watching them squirm over the prospect of a Trump nomination.

Republican Establishment Startled by Boehner Opposition




Speaker John Boehner and his establishment cronies are startled by the volume of protest calls that flooded Capitol Hill demanding their representatives change leadership in the GOP.  So much so, the orange man is reconsidering punishment for those who refused to vote for him.  The Washington Examiner reported the following:

The callers were not angry about legislation. Nor were they asking for help with a local matter. They were demanding their representative vote against Boehner Tuesday in his bid to win election to a third term as speaker.
For the GOP leadership, the flood of calls was a game changer. It thrusted the leadership into triage mode as it scrambled to heal the growing rift among House Republicans.
 “We’ve never been lobbied quite like that,” House Rules Committee Chairman Pete Sessions, R-Texas, told the Washington Examiner on Wednesday. “We yesterday began a new era of circumstances, and one is that we have members who are going to solicit the outside in ways that they have not previously.”
 Boehner was so agitated by the phone calls that he raised the issue to his rank and file in a private meeting Wednesday morning, those in the room reported.
 Boehner was defensive, according to witnesses. He told GOP lawmakers he has long espoused the Tea Party principles that the callers accused him of abandoning.

Had Speaker Boehner espoused Tea Party principles, he wouldn’t have shoved CRomnibus down our throats.  We are playing the long game.  Sooner or later, the American people are going to realize Washington D.C. is the problem and not the answer.  One of these days, the states are going to have to call for a constitutional convention.  That is if the people still value our founding principles.

NC GOP Stymies Democratic Voter Fraud



I found an article at Doug Ross Journal  about voter fraud in North Carolina.  Many of us have known about the shenanigans of NC Democrats for years, however, this particular piece published by Accuracy in Media sums it all up in one long post.

One example of voter fraud is out of state students voting in North Carolina elections.  The GOP put a stop to that.  Of course, liberal rags like the Charlotte Observer decried it as voter suppression.  Here is an excerpt describing the reasons for the change in election laws:

Students at the historically black Elizabeth City State University (ECSU) have been captive votes for city Democrats for ages. They have literally been ordered by faculty to register and vote in Elizabeth City, whether they live there or not. Some former students have even continued to vote by absentee ballot using the college address while residing and voting in other states. In April, 2013, the county board of elections sustained 57 of 60 voter registration challenges. All voters listed ECSU as their residence.


North Carolina’s Voter Integrity Project (VIP) discovered hundreds of individuals registered to vote who declined jury duty because they claimed non-citizen status. If their non-citizen status is accurate, they committed a crime by registering to vote. More than half of them voted one or more times. VIP has identified 147 cases of double voting by NC residents who moved to Florida and managed to vote in both locations. VIP has also identified over 20,000 voters registered with false addresses. Some counties even allow voters to register with non-existent addresses. The SBOE is now following up. The former Democrat-controlled SBOE couldn’t be bothered.



I guarantee you all the Observers that infest this state didn’t mention that.  We’re used to biased media in the Old North State.  Conscientious Tar Heels have to depend on alternative media and think tanks to get at the truth.  Read the article in its entirety.  It’s well worth it.

Political Aristocrats Defeat Tea Party Candidates



The Republican establishment and their enablers are giddy.  They along with their socialist opponents are jumping up and down with joy at the defeat of Tea Party candidates in yesterday’s primaries.  Anyone who dares to play in their political sandbox without consent is going to get sand kicked in their face.

 



Behind every Tea Party defeat was the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.  This transnational organization has a particular contempt for upstart citizens who dare challenge their authority.  They have more respect for illegal aliens than they do for an American with a copy of the U.S. Constitution.  To them it’s all about cheap labor and the tools who will do their bidding.  When Rep. Renee Ellmers was smacked down by a talk show radio host about her amnesty proposal, she went squealing to the Chamber begging for damage control.  Needless to say, their efforts helped Ellmers win the Republican primary.


 The king makers have sent a message to us plebeians:  You have been put on notice.  You will shut your mouths and let “your betters” manage you like the chattel you are.


 The political class has no sigils.  The U.S. Constitution prohibits titles of nobility.  But make no mistake about it, there is an American aristocracy.  And the rest of us are just serfs working on their political estates.

The 2014 Rino Season is Officially Open



2014 is here.  The Rino hunt has begun.  Conservatives and Tea Party activist have had enough of the status quo.  The Republican D.C. establishment has abused our good faith long enough.  The two obvious collaborators have each received a slap across the face.  The first broadside was sent to Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina last September by the Fairfield County Republican Executive Committee.  Here is their censure:

During their regular monthly meeting on Thursday, September 19, eighty-two percent of the Fairfield County Republican Party Executive Committee voted to pass a seven page Resolution censoring U. S. Senator Lindsey Graham.

Copies of the Censure Resolution were sent to Senator Graham, SCGOP Chairman Matt Moore and each SouthCarolina county chairman. The Greenville County Republican Party Executive Committee is set to vote on a similar censure of Sen. Graham during their regular meeting on October 7, 2013. The Resolution was introduced in August.

The Resolution listed 29 actions that Fairfield County Republicans “strongly disapprove of and hold to be fundamentally inconsistent with the principles of the South Carolina Republican Party.”

1. Voted to confirm Obama’s appointment to Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection.
2. Supported arming Al Qaeda/Muslim Brotherhood Revolutionaries in Syria.
3. Supported amnesty but not border control.
4. Supported NSA spying on private American citizens.
5. Supported abridging the First Amendment for those who criticize the government.
6. Supported massive new internet sales tax.
7. Supported restrictions on the Second Amendment.
8. Supported Obama’s drone program against American Citizens.
9. Supported subordinating American sovereignty to the United Nations.
10. Supported giving foreign aid to terrorist governments in the Middle East.
11. Supported granting members of the Muslim Brotherhood high level positions in the U. S. Government.
12. Supported giving taxpayer money to international organizations.
13. Supported giving taxpayer money for excessive foreign aid, not just terrorist organizations in the Middle East.
14. Opposed principled application of free trade policies.
15. Supported restricting the First Amendment rights to criticize Islamic radicalism.
16. Opposed making Bush tax cuts permanent.
17. Supported Obama’s appointments to the Supreme Court (2010).
18. Sided with Democrats on government regulation to combat “climate change.”
19. Criticized the SCGOP for defending the Republican platform.
20. Supported Obama’s appointments to Supreme Court (2009).
21. Supported liberal proposal to nationalize banks.
22. Supported Obama’s energy taxes and Cap and Trade.
23. Supported bailouts for financial institutions (TARP).
24. Supported bailouts for independent mortgage institutions (Fanny Mae and  Freddy Mac).
25. Supported amnesty but not border control – and sided with Ted Kennedy over Jim DeMint.
26. Opposed President Bush’s conservative nominee from South Carolina to the Court of Appeals.
27. Praised Hillary Clinton’s prospects for higher office.
28. Failed to fight for President Bush’s conservative judicial nominees generally.
29. Opposed medical malpractice tort reform.

Each of the above items were accompanied with documented justification. The final paragraph in the Resolution reads as follows:

“This body takes this action and adopts this Resolution in full confidence in its own good faith, with no personal animosity or ill will to the supporters of Lindsey Graham or to Lindsey Graham himself, to whom this body extends its hand in friendship and warmly looks forward to his rejoining us as private citizen of the State of South Carolina.



And for the biggest Rino of them all, Senator John McCain was censured as well by the Maricopa County GOP.  Here is the full resolution:

Senator John McCain Censured by Arizona’s Republican Leadership

As leaders in the Republican Party, we are obligated to fully support our Party, platform, and its candidates. Only in times of great crisis or betrayal is it necessary to publicly censure our leaders. Today we are faced with both. For too long we have waited, hoping Senator McCain would return to our Party’s values on his own. That has not happened. So with sadness and humility we rise and declare:
Whereas Senator McCain has amassed a long and terrible record of drafting, co-sponsoring and voting for legislation best associated with liberal Democrats, such as Amnesty, funding for ObamaCare, the debt ceiling, assaults on the Constitution and 2nd amendment, and has continued to support liberal nominees;

Whereas this record has been disastrous and harmful to Arizona and the United States; and,
Whereas Senator McCain has campaigned as a conservative and made promises during his re-election campaigns, such as the needed and welcomed promise to secure our borders and finish the border fence, only to quickly flip-flop on those promises; and
Whereas McCain has abandoned our core values and has been eerily silent against Liberals, yet publicly reprimands Conservatives in his own Party, therefore
BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that the Maricopa County Republican leadership censures Senator McCain for his continued disservice to our State and Nation, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that until he consistently champions our Party’s Platform and values, we, the Republican leadership in Arizona will no longer support, campaign for or endorse John McCain as our U.S. Senator.

Rino season is officially open.

The Charlotte Observer's Annual GOP Grinch Cartoon

E.U. Climate Chief Aghast GOP Presidential Contenders not Worshippers at The Green Church



The European Union’s head climate chief trickster is stunned that republican presidential candidates aren’t buying the crud that global warming worshippers are propagating:

European Union climate chief Connie Hedegaard is disposing of diplomatic niceties when describing U.S. political battles over climate change.

“I’m shocked that the political debate in the U.S. is so far away from the scientific facts,” she said,
according to The Copenhagen Post.

“When more than 90 percent of researchers in the field are saying that we have to take [climate change] seriously, it is incredibly irresponsible to ignore it. It’s hard for a European to understand how it has become so fashionable to be anti-science in the U.S.,” Hedegaard said in the Post account, which reprints comments she made to the Danish paper Politiken.

“And when you hear American presidential candidates denying climate change, it’s difficult to take,” she said.

And how many of those 90 percenters are dependent upon the confiscation of other people’s wealth? Who is funding their research and paying their salaries?

We conservatives are aware of Climategate and the demonization of dissident scientist. We are not congregants to the Green Church of Totalitarianism. Or, in consideration of E.U. immigration policy: a mosque.

Marquette Center Mistakes Fascist Propaganda for Art






The City of Marquette Arts and Cultural Center is featuring an “art” exhibit, in which one of its pieces portray four republican governors under a Nazi eagle holding the GOP symbol, instead of a swastika.  It must take a special kind of yahoo to misinterpret propaganda for art.  And to top it off, the citizens of Marquette are financing this crap through the city’s general fund.

Of course the council must be packed with a bunch of liberal nut-jobs, because they don’t consider this offensive:

“Exhibitions are curated with consideration for quality of the exhibit, what will be of interest to the community locally, regionally or nationally and suitability of subject matter…. All displays that the art gallery exhibits are suitable for all ages and will not promote discrimination against any person or group.”

And how is this not discriminatory towards Republicans and conservatives?  According to the Center, the GOP and its members are non-entities, undeserving consideration.

Not only is the Center misguided in their policies, they don’t even know the meaning of fascism.  Here are the characteristics of fascism, as defined by Promethean Capitalism:

The state is more important than the individual. Forming his own definition of fascism, Mussolini stated, "The Fascist State organizes the nation, but leaves a sufficient margin of liberty to the individual; the latter is deprived of all useless and possibly harmful freedom, but retains what is essential; the deciding power in this question cannot be the individual, but the State alone." Under fascism, individual freedom is considered dangerous and threatening to the power of the state, more often than it is considered desirable room for individual expression and achievement. Mussolini also said, "Fascism reasserts the rights of the State as expressing the real essence of the individual." In short, like socialism, fascism is collectivist rather than individualist.


2) Government-business 'partnerships' are formed to organize new initiatives designed to improve or expand existing major businesses and industries.


3) Major industries which are deemed essential are planned centrally, with the collusion of both politicians and prominent corporate executives. This central planning seeks market 'order,' disdaining the 'chaos' which is actually the complexity of independent action within a free market.


4) Mercantilism and protectionism are established to favor major domestic industries at the expense of foreign imports. In a fascist economy, the people who live outside of the borders of the state are considered means for the profit of industries within the state, rather than partners for mutual advantage
Hell that is the Democratic Party’s platform.  I believe that Nazi eagle should carry the DNC banner.

Sen. John McCain Pines for the Maverick Label


John McCain denied his maverick status during a tough primary campaign against J.D. Hayworth.  It seems that the failed GOP presidential candidate wanted to reassure the conservatives in the Republican Party that he was going to spend more time on his side of the aisle:  a maverick I'm not.

The mantle of "maverick" was being bestowed upon McCain's toadie: Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.  Graham will not face reelection for another four years and can afford to stab his constituents in the back.  Newsweek magazine, a liberal rag, reported the wrath that John McCain laid upon those who would dare take his title:

Yet months earlier, according to Ryan Lizza’s New Yorker piece about the failure of climate-change legislation this year, McCain became "enraged" when a December 2009 article on Time's Web site passed the nickname on to Sen. Lindsay Graham, whom the headline called the NEW GOP MAVERICK IN THE SENATE. Writes Lizza:



Graham told colleagues that McCain had called him and yelled at him, incensed that he was stealing the maverick mantle. “After that Graham story came out, McCain completely stopped talking to me,” Jay Newton-Small, the author of the Time piece, said.

It looks like Arizona was duped again.  McCain is laying low; just waiting until he secures the election and then he is going to bring out that sharp knife and stab you dumb asses in the back again.

With that, McCain’s statement to NEWSWEEK in April 2010 seems even more out of place. While he may have publicly shunned the maverick label, it appears likely that he's merely concealing his independent streak, keeping it under wraps until he can secure another six-year Senate term. At the very least, his jealousy of Graham indicates McCain does, at least on some level, value his maverick reputation. Since it appears McCain will win a fifth term easily, here’s hoping he reassumes the maverick mantle come 2011. The dreadfully deadlocked Senate could use one.

THE MAVERICK RETURNS WITH A VENGEANCE!!

Delaware Voters Give the Finger to GOP Establishment

It was gratifying to witness Christine O’Donnell win the Delaware republican primary over the socialist Mike Castle. The tea party has become a force to reckon with, and RINO’s are becoming an endangered species.


We conservatives who have given money to the Republican Party in the past finally feel vindicated. I stopped donating to the NRSC ever since the usual suspects in the establishment, backed candidates such as Lincoln Chaffee and Arlen Specter over their conservative rivals. I said no more after that.

The Washington insiders are quaking in their boots. The days of the elites looking down their noses at us plebeians is over.

The GOP establishment is taking the defeat of their chosen candidate hard. The realization of losing power over the electorate has stunned them, and their reaction to O’Donnell’s win is telling. Fox News Reports:

Republican aides told Fox News Tuesday that the National Republican Senatorial Committee will not be funding O'Donnell's general election campaign, leaving it up to Palin and the Tea Party Express to do the heavy lifting.


The NRSC issued a terse statement congratulating O'Donnell for her nomination "after a hard-fought primary campaign."


The Tea Party Express said it hoped the National Republican Senatorial Committee would reconsider its decision not to support O'Donnell.

"We encourage the NRSC to take a night off, get some sleep, and reconsider their rash statements," Tea Party Express spokesman Levi Russell said in a written statement.


"Wake up NRSC," he added. "The reason the Tea Party movement has grown into such a powerful force is because of the failures of establishment organizations such as yours to honor the principles of the Republican Party platform."You tried to force through the most liberal Republican in Congress on the voters of Delaware and they rejected you."

The NRSC finally acquiesced and will support Christine O’Donnell; to do otherwise would be financial suicide. The days of wine and roses are over for the GOP establishment. No longer will the tail wag this dog.

GOP Meets With Tea Partiers

The Republican National Committee Chairman, Michael Steele is meeting with a group of tea party representatives. He is meeting with these grassroots activist to listen to their grievances that have come to the boiling point over the past year.

Karin Hoffman, founder of DC Works for Us, organized the event in which approximately 50 participants arrived at the Capitol. Others refused to attend for fear that the GOP might try and co-opt the movement.

Steele addressed the crowd:


“I thank members of the Tea Party movement and other concerned citizens for putting together this meeting and taking the time to speak with me,” he added. “We share a common purpose in stopping President Obama’s agenda and standing up for principles such as smaller government, lower taxes, free enterprise, and the Constitution. Moving into the midterm elections this fall, I look forward to continuing to build on this discussion and to work to elect officials who will fight to protect the principles which they and a majority of Americans support.”Read more: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0210/33056.html#ixzz0flTIGnfU

Apparently, the GOP is concerned that the activist might try and undermine republican incumbents or the party bosses favorite pick in the primaries. New York's 23rd district comes to mind when the powers that be picked Dede Scozzafava, and party leaders such as Newt Gingrich endorsed her. It led to an uproar. Eventually Scozzafava quit and then backed the democratic nominee, who ended up winning. What an embarrassment.

The problem with the GOP is that they will make compromises just to win. That's why they are riddled with RINO's: Arlen Specter, Lincoln Chafee, Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, Richard Burr, Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Mel Martinez, etc...etc...

Some of these scoundrels jumped to the other party; others flirted with it. But for the most part they just leech off of the coffers, making all sorts of promises to conservatives during election time then stab them in the back after they get re-elected.

Senator Richard Burr is a McCain acolyte. During the amnesty cloture vote, Burr's office was inundated with calls and emails begging him not to vote for it. He wet his finger and put it in the air to see how the political winds would blow, before he finally voted against it. It should have been a no brainer.

So if Chairman Steele believes he can co-opt this movement; he's got another think coming.
