| COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa — The biggest donors in the Republican Party are financing a new group to recruit seasoned candidates and protect Senate incumbents from challenges by far-right conservatives and Tea Party enthusiasts who Republican leaders worry could complicate the party’s efforts to win control of the Senate. The group, the Conservative Victory Project, is intended to counter other organizations that have helped defeat establishment Republican candidates over the last two election cycles. It is the most robust attempt yet by Republicans to impose a new sense of discipline on the party, particularly in primary races.

Comments: Are these the same people who supported Arlen Specter over Pat Toomey and Charlie Crist over Marco Rubio? They´d be better spending their money smoking out Democrat secret operations to determine the Republican nominee, as they did with Todd Akin.

Sounds like they want liberal dems, not real republicans.

To those conservatives still holding onto hope that the republican party represents you and your values, have you seen and heard enough yet?
Ever since Nov. 6, 2012, they have been outright TELLING us that they are moving full steam ahead on becoming the DNC-light. They are taunting - no, DARING you to wake up and abandon this pile of broken promises and broken values.
There is absolutely no reason to cling to this bunch of lying skunks any longer. The writing, as they say, is plastered all over every wall.

These guys are getting more and more like the democrats. As with democrats, they are naming their organization just the opposite of what they really are: The Conservative Victory Project - really, it is anything but conservative.

Solution: form a new party to bypass their primaries. Like the NY Conservative Party, the new party can endorse genuine GOP conservatives, while running candidates against RINOs in the general. That is how we can keep our say.

The Republican Party is the "right" wing of the one national Progressive Party. That is why they label the TEA movement as "far-right" and see us only as an obstacle that "complicates" their efforts, which they cynically name the “Conservative Victory Project”. Therefore they denigrate us, mock us, and marginalize our arguments when they´re not just outright ignoring us. When we have the temerity to point out these instances, we are discounted as "single-issue purists" that are responsible for Obama´s reelection and the loss of "electable Republicans" in the Senate. Obviously the GOP doesn’t think much of their “base”. The Republicans treat conservatives the same as the Democrats treat blacks. The Plantation is Big Government and some of the masters pretend to be liberal (Democrat) and some pretend to be conservative (Republican). They are all masters and consider us their slaves.
Well, I’m happy to help the Republican Party any way I can. It appears that the best way would be to help them remove that “obstacle” in the way of their “Conservative Victory Project” by removing myself from their ranks. They have been very clear they do not want to represent my political principles, so why should I support theirs? I’m not leaving the Republican Party, I’m being kicked out.
Who is John Galt? What difference, at this point, does it make?

They can throw all of the money at this that they want too...they still need our votes. And this GOPer has had enough. I told the RNC not to ever call me again, and I´m planning to go down and drop my Republican affiliation.

Mark Levin is on the radio now pointing out the history of Rove, Law, McConnell and a few others who are part of this little cabal of establishment hucksters. The whole reason this is being done is because the Republican elite want to protect the racket they got going on in D.C.. They want to ensure they will have go-along-to-get-along lackies in position to keep the gravy train rolling. If they fail, they still get to spend tax payer money hand over fist, they just use the democrat party as cover. They only threat to this is if conservatives get elected and actually work to stop the spending and the growth of government.
There is no fixing the Republican Party from within. The only way to correct this is to abandon the sinking ship. I refuse to man my post when the captain and his mates are knowingly blowing huge gapping holes in the hull ordering me to remain there, shouting the orders from the only life raft.

These repub elite donors did sooo good with Dole McCain & Romney.... Rove Jeb McCain & the unknown elite donors can have the party. They all forget it was not Rove Jeb Boehner or the elites who won the 2010 election.... it was the tea party. Time for the party to change it´s name to conservatives & branch out. Rove & company isolated Romney by not including the tea party & Ron Paul under the umbrella....big mistake.. The repub elite are worse than the dems ..name one incident that the dem party would condemn another dem for...Colin Rove & Boehner should get a real job.

After what this bunch of RINO fools did in 2006, 2008, 2010 & 2012, the rnc can go to H-ll. Anyone that is a Conservative Republican gets a knife in the back and the rnc kisses up to democRATS.

The battle lines are drawn for the November election in Virginia, with Democrats seeking to portray the GOP ticket that emerged from the party’s state convention this weekend as “extreme” and “all Tea Party, all the time.” (Snip) Now Democrats think they can discredit E. W. Jackson, the minister and lawyer the GOP nominated for lieutenant governor after four ballots this weekend. He told delegates on Saturday he was “not an African American, but an American” and vowed to “get the government off our backs, off our property, out of our families, out of our health care

Representative Jason Chaffetz, a Utah Republican, says President Barack Obama may face impeachment over his administration’s response to the Benghazi attack. (Snip) Chaffetz’s tension with the White House has been building for months, ever since he took a fact-finding trip to Libya last October, less than a month after the terrorist attack. During that visit, he huddled with several U.S. diplomats, including Gregory Hicks, a former deputy chief of the Libya mission. But the heavy-handed tactics of the president’s advisers, he complains, sullied his investigation from the start.

Editor’s Note: Last week, Jay Nordlinger attended the Oslo Freedom Forum, the annual human-rights conference held in the Norwegian capital. I have a friend named Mileydi Fougstedt, who’s a Cuban journalist resident in Stockholm. Her first name is pronounced pretty much like “m’lady.” So when you’re speaking to her, you feel like you’re speaking to a high-class Englishwoman. (Snip) One of the speakers here is the prime minister of Tibet — the democratically elected prime minister of Tibet. I’m speaking, of course, of what’s called the “Central Tibetan Administration”: Tibet’s government-in-exile, located in Dharamshala, India.

Under President Obama, “justice” is anything but blind. (Snip) Our sources have provided Liberty Counsel an internal DOJ document titled: “LGBT Inclusion at Work: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Managers.” It was emailed to DOJ managers in advance of the left’s so-called “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Pride Month.” The document is chilling. It’s riddled with directives that grossly violate – prima facie –employees’ First Amendment liberties. Following are excerpts from the “DOJ Pride” decree. When it comes to “LGBT” employees, managers are instructed: “DON’T judge or remain silent. Silence will be interpreted as disapproval.”

It is a bizzaro world indeed when left-leaning Slate makes a better case for limited government than the Mitt Romney Campaign and the GOP establishment managed to make during the 2012 cycle. Yet for the second time in less than a week, two different writers from Slate have done so, making compelling arguments for conservatism, and tweaking the establishment at the same time for good measure -- simply by observation and common sense.

An idea so crazy it just might … Opponents and supporters of “comprehensive immigration reform” (i.e. amnesty) agree it doesn’t do well on the front burner of public debate. (Snip) Back in March, I didn’t see how the Obama team, however brilliant, was going to protect its amnesty bill from this threat of publicity, given that the mainstream press was “commmitted to overcovering this issue.” Now we know the answer! In its most fiendish strategem yet, Team Obama has launched a series of not-quite-devastating but press-obsessing scandals against itself!

My American Enterprise Institute colleague Charles Murray came to the defense of our former colleague Jason Richwine, who was fired by the Heritage Foundation amid protests about his Harvard Ph.D. thesis, on nationalreview.com. Charles was entirely accurate in stating that Richwine’s conclusion that Hispanics have lower-than-average IQs is accurate and, among specialists in this area, non-controversial. Richwine was careful to say that the average Hispanic IQ might rise over time, as has been observed of other groups’ average IQs. And the Heritage Foundation paper co-authored by Richwine estimating the fiscal cost of legalizing current illegal immigrants

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

"Can you see in your mind´s eye a way that this might not have been political, that this was a misguided stupid way to sort, but that they didn´t intend it to be some kind of political attempt to harass the Tea Party?" So actually asked CNN´s Candy Crowley of her guest Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) concerning the Internal Revenue Service scandal Sunday (video follows with transcript and commentary):CANDY CROWLEY, HOST: Moving on to the IRS problem at this moment, which is really sort of in its infancy. There will be lots more hearings coming up this week

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement
