So, after watching the fiasco going on in New York and Newt endorsing the Liberal Republican, I am really starting to get angry with the RNC. Apparently, they are NOT listening, and are putting their party before their principals. What the hell ever happened to standing up for CONSERVATIVE VALUES???????
So I decided to send Michael Steele a message on Facebook, and here's my short note to him. Feel free to contact him, too, and share your feelings on the RNC's support for Scozzafava.

Hi Michael, I have been a huge fan of yours for a long time, and was thrilled when you were selected as the Head of the RNC. I thought you would be a great leader and help Conservatives reclaim the Republican Party, but I've been apprehensive about giving any money to the RNC or any Republican candidates. The reason being, is that the so-called Conservative leadership seems to be turning it's back on Conservatives. (i.e.-the New York race between Scozzafava and Hoffman race.) The Republican in the race supported the Stimulus plan?!?! How could the RNC support this candidate? I want to be proud of calling myself a Republican again, but unless the GOP supports true Conservative values, I will be voting Libertarian. As a big fan and supporter, I urge you and the Republican Party to draw a line in the sand: Do you support Conservative values, or do you support Liberal policies that undermine what our country was founded on? I know where I stand....do you?
Proud American looking for your support,

And as for Newt Gingrich endorsing Scozzafava, although I feel he does an excellent job of articulating conservatism, his actions just don't support what comes out of his pie hole and he'll NOT get my support.
When he endorsed the Tea Party Movement, it was a pretty obvious attempt at hickjacking it for his future Presidential run.
One BIG prolem Newt....we actually stand for something. You have proven once again, that you are just another establishment Republican, who thinks giving Conservatives the usual lip service will gain you power. That might have worked in the past, but those of us who TRULY want Conservatives representing us, have had it with your ilk. I just donated to Doug Hoffman's campaign....maybe you should support Hoffman, too.

The entire Republican Party still hasn't gotten it yet. Here in MI the Repub party is endorsing a guy for State Senate, Republican, who is anything but that. At the same time there is a true conservative, and they don't give him the time of day. It is so maddening.
I have a friend that works for the RNC. The party is put in a difficult position. If they back the conservative independent they get bad press that there are tears in the party. If they back the more liberal republican they here from the conservative base that they are not living up to the principles. In the past people would just go ahead and vote republican even if they are upset. I don't think that is the case anymore. They are going to have to suck up the bad press to prove to the tea party base that they are listening.
You're right- in the past people would have just held their noses and voted the party line. People are tired of voting the party line, and then NOT getting a Conservative.
I think Conservatives would rather lose an election, than elect a Liberal Republican, as long as it sends a clear message to the party that Liberal republicans are no longer welcome.
Jessica,
That is exactly what happened 2008. We were all apprehensive about McCain. We were not voting for him as much as we were voting against Obama. When he suspended his campaign to push the stimulus is when he lost a lot of us. I voted for Chuck Baldwin because I was so sick of Rinos.
I really like what you did hear. I never even thought of using Facebook like this. Good job making your voice heard, to bad more people do not.
