I am a strong supporter of encouraging people to contribute directly to campaigns and not fool around with the congressional campaign committees. Why? Because they support dolts like Gordon Smith (RINO-OR) who disses fellow "moderate" John McCain. The lesson here? These guys aren't in it for the principles or the agenda, they are in it to win and they absolutely do not care who they have to throw under the bus to do it. How'd that strategy work out for Lincoln Chaffee? These buffoons have still not learned their lesson. They actually promoted this absurd video of a bunch of 527 media types praising Gordo for his lack of support for the Republican presidential candidate.
If this is what passes for high campaign strategery from our friends at the NRSC, I think real Republicans can find a better place to invest their dollar. And my message to Mr. Smith is this: Just be who you are...if that is a Democrat, then change party affiliations and don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out. But if you are a Republican, then start acting like one. You whiners who act like it is some horrible affliction to be called a Republican are part of the problem.
Seriously, what is the matter with you people? Earlier today, I had to smack around House Republicans for crying like little girls...
UPDATE: Seriously, if this guy can't support John McCain, what does he think about the rest of us real conservatives???
