Nobody should donate to the NRSC (National Republican Senatorial Committee). Around these orange-yet-blue parts, that statement might as well begin with "Thou shalt not..."
It looks like the folks at RedState agree! Found on their site today is this diary that claims that the RedState faithful should abandon the NRSC as well.
This is a front-page story over there, not just some dude throwing up a diary because Freedom.
Apparently they are pissed because of the Kansas primary. ($$$ to Roberts and not Wolf).
They are pissed about the Mississippi runoff. ($$$ and "Democratic votes from urban areas" to Cochran and not McDaniel.
It isn't explicitly mentioned but I assume they are pissed about the primaries in Kentucky as well, because they do love to bash McConnell over there; a passion I also share.
I'd march in their rally anyday if it just stopped at "screw the NRSC", but then they came out and say they want us all to donate to the Senate Conservatives Fund instead.
After my knee-jerk reaction of writing them off and calling them RWNJ's, I dug around a little on the SCF.
The SCF has only endorsed 4 candidates for Senate this cycle. Four! One is a longshot in the crowded Louisiana field (Rob Maness), one is a sure win in Nebraska (Ben Sasse).
Which leaves only Joni Ernst (Iowa) and Tom Cotton (Arkansas) as the "real" conservatives out there in competitive races.
So even if all the money goes to the SCF instead of the NRSC, it really only serves 2 races. I am still largely okay with this.
So here's the game plan for "true" conservatives.
-Don't give the NRSC any more money.
-Send all of your money to the SCF instead, so they can funnel it all into two states and weaken the GOP candidates everywhere else.
-Give Democrats a fighting chance in a tough midterm.
-Cringe when you squander some good opportunities in 2014.
-Cringe again when you see the 2016 Senate map and how advantageous it is to the Dems.
Go RedState! Get mad and let them hear you! There are a lot of Democrats wishing you the best of luck! Freedom! 'Murrica!
