From California (Laffey donor from earlier):

I can’t help but think that if we had someone stronger as the chairman of the Judiciary committee we wouldn’t be in as bad a position. This goes back to the WH and NRSC not letting Toomey get a fair shot. Why build a majority if you only cave to the minority when it counts? I am so sick of being denigrated for not kow towing to the WH over this pick. I am not an elitist….I am not sexist. I am angry and conservative. That used to be a good thing. We could have won any fight in the Senate. Half the reason we are in this position is because of weak spined Republicans like Chafee. The NRSC should be looking for challengers to rinos like this, not trying to defeat them. They just keep shooting themselves repeatedly in the foot. What happened?

From Virginia:

For the past year or so, I’ve been sending the solicitation envelopes back with nothing in them but a note like this:
NOT ONE MORE DIME!! We do not donate our hard-earned money to the RNC so you lot can waste it financing the campaigns of squish candidates, working to defeat good conservatives in primaries, or to continue a cycle of begging us for more money to be used for more such nonsense. NOT ONE MORE DIME until RNC starts supporting conservative candidates. Meanwhile, we are sending donations directly to the campaigns of candidates we believe are worth supporting.
And that’s exactly what we have done and will continue to do.
