The battle between Conservatives Republicans and Establishment/RINO/Democrat-Lite Republicans has begun!
I get calls from the RNC and NRSC almost on daily basis. And what I say to them is this, “Tell your bosses to start backing real conservatives! Until then, you want get a dime from me and I’ll contribute directly to the candidates I prefer!”

What these Washington-infected Republicans have to learn very quickly is that the conservative tidal wave that swept through congress on Election Day still has plenty of water left to sweep away the remaining RINOs in congress the next election cycle and the next after that.
So what if Christine O’Donnell, Ken Buck, and Sharon Angle lost. As previously reported on The Last Tradition, Jim DeMint said as follows:
“I don’t want the majority back if we don’t believe anything," DeMint said
That’s the rub in the argument.
As a party we need to get rid of the Lindsey Graham and Lisa Murkowski-type Republicans who are undistinguishable from Liberal Democrats on key issues affecting the country.
Ronald Reagan preached bold colors not pale pastels to offer the people a real choice at the ballot box.
The lesson of the Christine O’Donnell in Delaware isn’t that Mike Castle had a better chance of winning.
The conservative cause doesn’t need another Northeast version of Charlie Crist with an R at the end of his name.
What needs to be done is to better educate the electorate in the East and West Coasts on conservatism and fight for those votes and not compromise conservative principles.
It’s much harder work. But, the future of the country is worth it.
ABC News News, The Note reports that prominent conservative leaders are putting critics of Sen. Jim DeMint on notice: Stop blaming the South Carolina Republican for the GOP’s failure to take back the majority in the Senate -- or else.
Led by Richard Viguerie, who heads the Web site ConservativeHQ.com, a group of three dozen high-profile DeMint backers, say they will respond to the senator’s detractors “in word and deed.”
“Conservatives will not only challenge and beat more Republican senators in Republican primaries, but conservatives will stop funding and volunteering for the NRSC and the RNC,” Viguerie wrote in a letter addressed to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman John Cornyn and Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele.
“Instead, conservatives will send their money to, and volunteer for, Senator DeMint’s Senate Conservative Fund and the candidates Senator DeMint supports.”
And Viguerie and his counterparts didn’t stop there:
“It would be our goal for the Senate Conservatives Fund to raise more money than the NRSC,” the letter continues. “Conservatives will also work to defeat in Republican primaries those Republicans who retain consultants who criticize or try to undermine Senator DeMint.”
DeMint has been taking heat from some members of the Republican Party for endorsing anti-establishment primary candidates like Delaware’s Christine O’Donnell and Colorado’s Ken Buck, who ended up losing their general election contests in places where Republicans thought they otherwise could have prevailed.
