Outside Groups Eclipsing G.O.P. As Hub of Campaigns
By NICHOLAS CONFESSORE
Published: October 29, 2011

About once a month, a dozen or so of the country’s most influential Republicans meet in a bare-walled conference room in Washington to discuss how to make further gains in the Congressional elections next year and defeat President Obama.

>snip<

But almost none of them hold office or a job with the Republican Party itself. Instead, they represent conservative groups that channeled tens of millions of dollars into last year’s Congressional campaign. And as 2012 approaches, the groups — among them the Karl Rove-founded American Crossroads, the Republican Governors Association, the American Action Network and Americans for Prosperity, which is backed by the billionaire Koch brothers — have gathered into a loosely organized political machine poised to rival, and in many ways supplant, the official Republican Party apparatus.

>snip<

They have recruited some of the Republican Party’s best-known officials, like Speaker John A. Boehner and Gov. Haley Barbour of Mississippi, to help raise money. And in a shift from 2010, when the groups focused largely on television advertising, they plan to put far more money into voter contact, social media and grass-roots outreach, hoping to buttress the party’s own get-out-the-vote work.

>snip<

Most of the groups answer only to a few dozen deep-pocketed donors, rather than the elected officials who oversee traditional party efforts. Yet if they lack some of the accountability imposed on the parties by campaign finance regulations and the ballot box, the groups also represent a marked shift from earlier generations of conservative-leaning groups, many of which were advocates for particular industries or policies or sought a shift in the ideological balance of their party. For the most part, the new groups are focused on the same broad goals: winning the White House and full control of Congress.

Let's have big cheer for the fascist Supremes who laid the groundwork for this final run to completing the corporate coup of America.

I'm more worried about Soros and the unions buying votes.

[Ballygrl]

Sounds like the NY Times is talking about George Soros and the Democrat party. Why hasn't the NY Times ever looked into Soros and Democrats?

In other words trying to convince voters (people) to agree with a conservative viewpoint.

I don`t see much that is wrong with that and to me what is scarier dude is that you have a problem with it.
As mentioned above I suppose you would rather have a politburo of union/government thugs just tell or intimidate a person to vote a certain way.

Wait a minute,that is what a leftist government eventually does isn`t it?

As with all such rantings from the DUde, it is totally unfounded and just plain ignorant. We all know that it is UNIONS that have far more influence than all the right put together. Not only that the unions only fund the socialist democrat party.

The chart explains it all.

It's when you post something that someone else posted before reading what they posted.

[GOBUCKS]

If they have mass transit on Guam, I'm sure we pay for it, and no one uses it.

Just like mass transit everywhere else, except the East Coast and Cook County hellholes.

The Dude seriously should STFU and go offline before he breaks the internet.

Wait, a group of pro-republican institutions got together and talked strategy?  STOP! THE! PRESSES!

I mean no group of pro-democrat organizations ever have a sit down do they?

Stinky is one of the biggest morons on the internet.

The big difference is that when the DemonRats do this, they include the MSM in their plans so they help spread them.

I know, really.  I was waiting for the shit to be scared out of me, since this is Halloween after all.  It never emerged.      People sitting around having a meeting?  Mommy!  Mommy!
