GOP'S STANCE ON CONSERVATIVES MAY KEEP THEM IN THE MINORITY!

Fellow Conservatives:

The Republican establishment in Washington is worried that their strategy of attacking conservatives and standing for nothing might fail to win them a majority in the U.S. Senate. Instead of taking responsibility, they're beginning to blame conservatives for their own mistakes.

Writing in the Wall Street Journal last week, Karl Rove said Republicans might not win a majority because conservative donors have not given enough money to the party and its establishment allies this election cycle. Rove said:

 

"The midterm environment is terrible for Democrats – yet each passing day provides evidence as to why a GOP Senate majority is still in doubt... Republican candidates and groups must step up if they are to substantially reduce that gap... [R]educing the Democratic cash advantage will tip the needle in the GOP’s direction. That will only happen if Republicans open their wallets to candidates whom they may have never met, and, if they live in a battleground state, they clear their calendars to volunteer to identify and get out the vote. If they don't, they should prepare for two more years of Majority Leader Harry Reid."

This is unbelievable. The Washington establishment believes it's your fault that Republicans are underperforming this year.

This lecture comes after the GOP establishment worked to "crush" conservatives "everywhere" and used race-baiting attacks to get Democrats to hijack the Mississippi primary. It also comes after the party wasted millions in primaries to protect incumbents in safe Republican seats and failed to vet candidates like Pat Roberts (R-KS) who doesn't live in Kansas anymore.

Then, hours after Karl Rove's column was published, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) sent out a fundraising email signed by none other than Haley Barbour, the man who helped lead the attacks on conservatives in Mississippi, who lobbies for corporate welfare, and who wants to bring earmarks back. They aren't sorry for what they did in Mississippi; they're proud of it.

Fight Back! Support True Conservatives!

The NRSC is hostile to everything conservatives stand for and should be boycotted by anyone who wants to save freedom.

There are much better ways to help elect Republicans than giving money to the NRSC. Americans can donate directly to conservative candidates and support groups that actually listen to the grassroots.

Don't be pressured by the party bosses who blame you for their mistakes. It's not your fault that they've abandoned the party's platform and alienated conservative voters. Instead, take a stand and focus your donations on those who will truly fight for the principles of freedom that make America great.

Make DC listen! Support the Senate Conservatives!

If Republicans underperform in November, Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and the GOP leadership in Washington only have themselves to blame. 

This was supposed to be a blockbuster election for Republicans. It's a mid-term election and the president is extremely unpopular. Yet recent polls show that winning a majority is now a toss-up.

All Republicans had to do is outline a clear, conservative agenda and motivate their voters to turn out. Instead, they put no agenda forward and attacked their own base. And now they're blaming conservatives who aren't excited about their spineless candidates.

We hope Republicans win this year in spite of the party's mistakes so Harry Reid (D-NV) and the Democrats no longer control the Senate, but conservatives should not give money to people who hold them in contempt. It's shameful.

Please focus your political donations on the candidates who will stand up to the big spenders in both parties and fight to change Washington.

Haley Barbour can pay for his own lunch.
