This is rich. These limp wrist losers have to call themselves "Conservative" because they have totally destroyed their own GOPe brand through incompetence. Not one of these hacks involved in this are anything even remotely considered Conservative.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.

breathe.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.

No wait . . . hang on . . . HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. I’m sorry.

I’d like to introduce you to “Americans for a Conservative Direction.” It’s got Haley Barbour as the head of it, whose nephew was on the RNC audit committee. He’s joined by Sally Bradshaw of the same RNC Audit Committee. They’ve also got Joel Kaplan of Facebook, Dan Senor whose wife is Campbell Brown formerly of CNN, and Rob Jesmer.

Jesmer, you will recall, headed the National Republican Senatorial Committee and backed Arlen Specter, Charlie Crist, Trey Greyson, Bob Bennett, and every other terrible squishy moderate to liberal candidate the GOP could field.

And now they want to call themselves “Americans for a Conservative Direction.”

You know how conservative the direction is they want to go?

They’re already bilking their donors for dollars to support . . .

wait for it . . . seriously . . . wait for it . . .

Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. Yes, “Americans for a Conservative Direction” are using donor dollars to prop up sweet little Lindsey in South Carolina. And the ad is as poorly produced as a GOP consultant class scam can get. “Our Back,” they call the ad cheerleading Lindsey.

Isn't that the worst ad ever. Just terrible. I am glad they are backing this swish Grahamnesty.

Has anyone ever told that idiot Barbour that conservatives do not sell pardons. These people make me sick

So Barbour left Rove's group in a pique and rushes to start his own? Do these people ever have original ideas or are they content with recycling the old ones?

Haley Barbour was a great RNC Chairman, a wonderful governor (a hero in the wake of hurricane Kartrina) and he's a fine man.

I know.

He is strongly pro-life. That's important.

And while in college he was a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity which was, even then, a clear indicator of his superior moral character.

A man on a long list of people pardoned by Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour in 2012 is a suspect in a shootout that left another man dead, the Jackson Free Press reported Friday.

Wayne "Honkey" Harris, who was one of 203 people pardoned during Barbour’s last week in office — touching off a storm of controversy and a legal battle — was attending a “friendly cookout,” on Thursday when he got into an argument that escalated into a gunfight, the Calhoun County Journal reported.

Haley The Hero Barbour has a sterling record:

Haley Barbour is a Republican stalwart. Having spent his life as a Republican, Haley Barbour practiced the principles of the Republican ideology every step of the way. He grew up believing in ...being the best that he could be. For him, the principles of the G.O.P. are not just political principles, they are personal values.

...in 1993 he became Chairman of the Republican National Committee.

In 94 he oversaw the historic Republican Revolution that dramatically shifted the balance of power in America as the GOP took control of both houses of Congress for the first time in 40 years. In 1997, Haley Barbour retired from that post and left the Party in better shape than it had ever been before.

In short time, after being elected Governor of Mississippi, Barbour did for Mississippi what he did for the GOP he turned things around.

After coming to office, he took a $709 million budget deficit for the 2004 fiscal year and without raising taxes, implemented a plan called Operation: Streamline and cut the budget deficit in half. In the years to follow. Much of this success was due to aggressive reductions in waste, duplicative services and reforms. The rest came via cuts in social engineering.

By 2006... (HTHB) allowed Mississippi to see its first contemporary balanced budget.

Yes, Haley The Hero is quite a guy! (appropriate emphasis added)

But the success of fiscal efficiency and responsibility is not the only feather in Barbour’s cap. After Hurricane Katrina struck the Mississippi Coast with the same force and vengeance that it struck New Orleans, Haley Barbour demonstrated to the nation the value of truly good (great) political leadership.

Three children lost their father and a wife lost her husband directly because of what this filth Barbour did to line his own pockets. The fact that you are defending it shows that you are vile filth too.

The smartest method of donating to candidates, is to do your own research, make your own choice and donate directly to candidate(s).

Avoiding these fundraising entities cuts out the middleman, which like any organization eats up part of the money with overhead. It also avoids sleazy commissions that the professional politicos live handsomely from.

Finally if the candidates turn out wrong, you can take the blame yourself, instead of blaming others.

The end result is more money in the hands of the candidate, and less in the hands of those who derive unjustifiable power from your money.

You take away the power that Rove and Norquist acquired along the way.
