Election 2006 Watch: Contribute to GOP Senate Campaigns?
Hugh Hewitt: $500 for the Future? UPDATED
Are you willing to invest $500 in the future by contributing to the nine GOP Senate candidates that are best positioned to either retain their seats or take a blue seat red?
It is a lot of money, but the stakes are incredibly high, including success in the war and the ability to confirm good judges to the Supreme Court and the lower federal courts.
In fact, no matter what the problem is, the answer can’t be more Democrats.
Please go online and send $50 to each of these nine candidates, and then pick your favorite and send $50 more. (UPDATE: Just added Jon Kyl’s campaign, so it is 10 campaigns with $50 all around.)
If that’s just too much, then how about $25 each, or $10 each? It all matters.
A Senate majority is a terrible thing to lose, and a wonderful thing to strengthen. Dig deep:
Hugh must be out of his mind.
Let these politicos come onto the blogs and tell us why they merit our support. No more lock step.
No more being taken for granted.
We have seen how the President and GOP Senate have SOLD OUT conservative ideals on illegal immigration and border security.
Hugh, make these politicians work for financial support and our votes.
NOT ONE DIME OR VOTE UNTIL THEN.
Here are the races from H/H as well.
New Jersey: Incumbent Democrat Menedez v. the GOP’s Tom Kean.
Maryland: The GOP’s Lt. Governor Michael Steele v. the battered winner of the Mfume-Cardin slug fest.
Pennsylvania: GOP Incumbent Rick Santorum against Bob Casey Jr.
Ohio: GOP Incumbent Mike DeWine v. Congressman Sherrod Brown
Missouri: GOP Incumbent Jim Talent v. Claire McCaskill
Montana: GOP Incumbent Conrad Burns v. either John Morrison and Jon Tester.
Minnesota: GOP Congressman Mark Kennedy v. Amy Klobuchar
Nebraska: Pete Ricketts v. Democratic incumbent Ben Nelson
Washington State: Mike McGavick v. Democratic incumbent Maria Cantwell
And maybe this chart does spell more long-lasting victories. The fact is the Republican Congress has NOT performed well and until they prove their worth – why bother?
Sorry, Hugh….NOT A DIME!
Steve Frank of California Political News agrees.
But, Pennsylvania last Tuesday should have been the two by four to every GOP candidate and office holder in the nation.At least 14 incumbent GOP office holders, including the top two in the State Senate were defeated in a Republican primary, by Republicans. The good news is that if they had not been defeated, many GOP voters would have stayed home in November. This is a lesson for us in California, and the nation, GOP voters have had enough of Republicans acting like Democrats. Our candidates need to stand for GOP principles, then vote and govern that way once in office.
No longer will GOP voters settle for, “well at least they have a “R” after their name.” There is a revolt going on in GOP ranks and it is moving across the nation.
And Mike Dewine in Ohio? Come on Hugh, what, are you joking? PoliPundit has the truth:
If there is one senator in a close race who deserves to lose because of his support for illegal immigration, it is Mike DeWine (R-OH).
A new Rasmussen poll shows DeWine falling behind his Democrat opponent for the first time. Ohio conservatives would be well advised to let DeWine stew. Not only is he a firm supporter of illegal immigration, he also sits on the Judiciary Committee, and was instrumental in brokering the Gang of 14 deal.
