The RNC vs conservatives

R.S. McCain brings my attention to this blog post from Duane Lester of the All American Blogger, in which Lester sticks it to the RNC and their money woes:

It’s very simple. If you want our money, you have to espouse our beliefs. I’m not going to part with my dollars so you can direct them to Dede Scozzafava’s campaign in New York. Instead, I’ll drop $20 to a candidate I know needs the money and shares my values.

[…]

The establishment Republicans are in trouble and have to change. Until they get that message and make some adjustments, the money is just not going to be there.

This is spot on.  Clearly Lester is following the lead of other intelligent, but not so sophisticated, conservative bloggers out there.

In all seriousness, though.  Be sure to read Lester’s entire post.

It serves as a reminder that, in this very important mid-term election year, it would serve conservatives well to note how inept and incompetent the RNC really is.  Imagine if they really had their act together?  Sure the rot began to set in before Michael Steele became chairman, but he hasn’t exactly been a guiding light for conservatives or the party.

The Republican party should not be about the RNC anymore.  It should be about the grassroots.  We each have the ability to make it so.  Observe the field in your local and state elections.  Pick the conservative candidate and support them.  Plain and simple.
