Conservatives are making sure the RNC and NRCC hear their voices. As I mentioned this morning, readers continue to e-mail me copies of the rejected RNC solicitation forms they’ve sent back to Washington.
GOP offices better prepare for a new onslaught. As I said earlier this morning, the repercussions of NY-23 will be felt well beyond [...]

Conservatives owe NY-23 candidate Doug Hoffman immeasurable gratitude. He overcame impossible odds (single digits just a month ago) to come within two points of defeating Democrat Bill Owens. Hoffman had zero name recognition. National Republican Party officials dumped nearly $1 million into the race on behalf of radical leftist GOP candidate Dede Scozzafava, who [...]

Guess it’ll be an early night for all the Democrat water-carriers in the media who have already filed their preemptive pieces downplaying whatever happens tonight after the polls close and the ballots are counting.
Here’s a bit of the Obama-as-a-factor-but-not-as-much-as-we-want-you-to-think analysis of exit poll results.
Politicker reports on the return of “It’s the economy, stupid:”
Forty-six percent of [...]

I noted earlier this morning the GOP’s need to purge its suicidal ACORN/WFP/SEIU alliances.
Last month, I spotlighted Republicans in Illinois who continue to take gobs of money from ACORN’s alter ego, the SEIU.
Anita MonCrief has a related must-read in the Hot Air Green Room on “How NY23 Revealed the Republicans’ ACORN Problem.” Excerpt:
ACORN is a [...]

As if we needed any more evidence that establishment Republicans are conservatism’s own worst enemy:
Godawful.

It’s becoming a regular feature here at michellemalkin.com — disgusted conservative readers sending photos and forwarding their “no, hell no!” responses to national Republican Party fund-raisers. They’re sending back Newt Gingrich’s books and telling the Beltway GOP to “Wake up!” Many others I’ve received are, um, unprintable.
Today’s rejected RNC solicitation form of the day comes [...]

Plus: The rejected RNC solicitation form of the day.

The most prominent GOP endorser of radical leftist NY-23 congressional candidate Dede Scozzafava is openly musing about running for president in 2012.
No, thanks:
Callista and I are going to think about this in February 2011. And we are going to reach out to all of our friends around the country. And we’ll decide, if there’s a [...]

Call them out.

So, the GOP leadership is waking up to Team Obama’s “Chicago-style politics.”
Here’s GOP leader John Boehner condemning the White House heavy hand.
I was in the Windy City last night for the United Republican Fund’s 75th anniversary. URF is committed to electing conservatives to office and I was impressed with the number of fresh, young conservative [...]

It’s time for the GOP to cut bait on radical leftist Dede Scozzafava.
Dump Dede and quick.
I repeat: Can the Republican establishment hear conservatives now?

Scroll down for updates…Palin endorses conservative Doug Hoffman…
From reader Barnaby, who sent back his crossed-out Republican solicitation forms with a “NO RINOS” sticky note for Newt Gingrich:

From reader K., a message to GOP Rep. Jeb Hensarling’s office:
As you’ve hopefully figured out by now, your boss really stepped in it with the endorsement of this left-winger [...]

Judge the Margaret Sanger award winner by the company she keeps:
Fundraising reports for all the candidates in the New York special election are due today, but the candidates have been required to report all donations above $1,000 in the final weeks of the race.
And, to get a sense why conservatives have been so cool to [...]

Stuck on stupid.

As if there weren’t enough reasons to oppose radical leftist Dede Scozzafava’s GOP candidacy in the NY-23 special election, add one more to the list:
She’s a liar.
The Albany Times-Union reports:
Police questioned a reporter from a conservative publication after receiving a call that he harassed a Republican candidate for Congress who refused to answer his questions [...]

So, Newt Gingrich is invoking Reagan to defend his endorsement of radical leftist Dede Scozzafava in the NY-23 special congressional election?
Triple-gag:
“If you seek to be a perfect minority, you’ll remain a minority,” says Gingrich. “That’s not how Reagan built his revolution or how we won back the House in 1994.”
Let’s quote Reagan back to Gingrich, [...]

What happened when the unfailingly polite John McCormack of The Weekly Standard tried to nail down pro-abortion, pro-card check, tax-hiking GOP NY-23 candidate Dede Scozzafava on her radical leftist positions?
She affirmed her support of the union power grab and refused to answer whether the government health care takeover proposals should cover abortion. She refused to [...]

Busy with family.
Throwing out a couple discussion topics:
* What good is an “opposition” party that wants to elect its own worst opponents? Related: Where is Sarah Palin?

“It’s time for conservatives to show the Republican establishment who’s in charge.”

What up?!

If you have given to the NRCC, RNC, or Newt Gingrich under the impression that they are using the money to support conservatism, you might want to ask for your money back.
As I mentioned in my column post on the NY23 special election, the NRCC is using conservatives’ money to back a radical leftist and [...]

Yes, it’s time for the upside-down elephant. The Stupid Party is at it again. The subject of today’s column: An abomination in the NY23 special congressional race to replace former GOP Rep. John McHugh, who accepted President Obama’s Army Secretary position. Way to go, Beltway GOP establishment. Grass-roots fiscal conservatives are fired up over ACORN, [...]

Government affairs.

The Democrats bloodied Republicans with the “culture of corruption” cudgel.
Republicans are finally performing some political jujitsu.
Keep repeating it and don’t give them a pass:
Action Demanded on Rangel/Geithner Tax Violations
(WASHINGTON, DC) — While Democrats continue their plan for a federal takeover of the nation’s healthcare industry, new revelations show they are incapable of effectively managing even [...]

Lots of buzz about the jockeying to appoint his placeholder.
RedState’s Erick Erickson wonders: “What will Charlie Crist do to screw Marco Rubio out of the Senate?”
More ruminations at The Hill.
He announced he was retiring last December.
I’ll repeat what I said then:
You may recall his pledge in 2006 not to work aggressively to defend conservative [...]

The rotten American Conservative Union/David Keene pay-for-play scandal underscores a point I’ve made over and over and over again:
The GOP can’t attack the Democrat culture of corruption (my new book comes out July 27) until it cleans its own house first.
The John Ensign mess keeps getting worse.
Stubborn, selfish, prevaricating Mark Sanford keeps embarrassing himself and [...]

I called him a wretched dog last month, and he continues to live up (er, down) to the label.
We now know that Nevada Republican Sen. John Ensign enlisted his parents to pay off his mistress/former campaign staffer and her husband/former intimate family friend/Senate employee to the tune of $96,000. Yeah, he bollixed up his own [...]

Introducing the GOP’s Cap-And-Tax 8…

Photoshop credit: Leo Alberti
I listed them earlier tonight, but am breaking out a separate post to spotlight them again.
The 8 cap-and-tax Republican turncoats again are:
Bono Mack (CA) (202) 225-5330
Castle (DE) (202) 225-4165
Kirk (IL) (202) 225-4835 (And he’s seriously considering running for Senate!)
Lance (NJ) (202) 225-5361
LoBiondo (NJ) (202) 225-6572
McHugh (NY) (202) 225-4611
Reichert [...]

I don’t find anything funny about the Sanford affair. It’s the mom in me thinking about four handsome boys on Father’s Day weekend abandoned by their stupid, selfish father, who was busy tanning with his mistress in Argentina. Heart-breaking. Yes. Nauseating. Yes. Maddening. Yes. Funny? No.
Cruel derision crude humor are to be expected of the [...]

Unlike other self-esteem-lacking wives of cheaters, Jenny Sanford shows real courage, class, and dignity in her statement to the press — and in her decision NOT to stand by her adulterous husband at his public confession.
Godspeed, Mrs. Sanford. Via McClatchy:
I would like to start by saying I love my husband and I believe I have [...]
