UPDATE: The DC-based GOP components are scrambling to backpedal on this (all except Karl Rove; whose stock is falling like Enron’s as he desperately clings to bitterness.) Bottom line; their first reaction was the honest one, the second is heat-forced. This has happened WAY too many times now and it is clear the have no desire to listen to those outside the Beltway. The possibility of sexism in this case has also been appropriately raised. It is time for a major re-org of the GOP DC gang and, until it is, the call for the Donation Moratorium stands.
The national GOP- all of which is based in Washington, DC- have gone over the line. Having lost in their backing Castle, they are throwing a tantrum and declaring they will not financially back the choice of the GOP voters in Delaware and are disseminating the most negative of attacks on the Party’s nominee. It is time to put a stop to this elitist paternalism and declare a boycott on donating to ANY structural GOP organization. At both national, state and county levels; the NRC, the NRSC, as well as the State and County GOP organizations. We would call for the Tea Parties to donate specifically and exclusively to those candidates- like O’Donnell, Miller, Rubio, and Angle- that the established powers had decided were not ‘suitable’.
We ask the various Tea Parties to organize and announce this moratorium publicly and let the GOP elitists know that we consider them a major part of the problem and until they accept the new mandate they are getting from the field for principled candidates over the RINOs, our money and efforts will go elsewhere.
I’m impressed with the progress you have all made in these campaigns. More power to you! I trust and hope some of that can-do spirit will focus on the important position of Collin County District Clerk. We need to oust those who abused their office at taxpayers expense.
I’m the write-in candidate for that post and invite you
to help me bring the District Clerk office back to ethical operation.
