Six weeks ago, Senator Jim DeMint launched the Senate Conservatives Fund, a PAC that supports strong conservatives in Senate races. DeMint created the SCF as an answer for contributors who wanted an option apart from the NRSC that focused on conservative policy and commitment to such. Today, they have announced their first endorsement — Bob Schaffer of Colorado, running for the retiring Wayne Allard seat:
The SCF post has an extensive report on Schaffer’s positions as well as his key votes in Congress. Schaffer, as it turns out, was even more conservative than DeMint himself in his last session in Congress, 2001-2, according to the Poole reports. Be sure to take a read of the SCF endorsement.

This is the route to go rather than third parties. Rock on!

The SCF is the only place I contribute to these days.

A place for conservative to donate? It looks hopeful. The RNC has become the RINO-NC.
Have to be sure it is truly independent from the RNC. They are such snakes they could shape shift to pick your pocket.
The test will be this PAC supporting a candidate the RNC opposes. Really opposes. Someone to make the RNC throw up. That would force me to donate on principle

Yes, will they turn their back on a “seasoned” Republican candidate for a true conservative.
That will be the litmus test.

I’ll have to check out their site. I’m very careful when it comes to giving money to candidates these days.

If indeed this is an organization that RNC does NOT support, I will contribute. I will wait to make certain, however that it isn’t some silly game invented by the RNC to bring money into their coffers. I absolutely will not contribute one additional penny to those idiots!

Thanks for the pub, for Colorado.
From what I know, Schaffer IS the real deal and Allard leaves some very large shoes to fill.

this from someone who supports Juan McObama.
you wouldn’t know what conservatism is if it bit ya.
