Politico talks about the how the national parties will be spending thier dollars this fall:

With limited resources and an expansive map featuring at least 10 Senate seats in play in pricey markets, national Democrats and Republicans will soon face a string of tough choices — where to spend their cash heading into the final weeks before the midterm elections — that will make or break some campaigns this fall.

If you give to a candidate that you like, he/she may or may not end up needing it. What if every dollar you donated to politics went to races in which your money was critical to achieving victory for a business friendly, fiscally conservative candidate that favors limited government and opposes all new taxes ?

I’m talking about the Club for Growth, which monitors races nation wide and recommends worthy candidates to their members. But they also have a PAC that throws funds into close races at strategic times, often tilting the balance in favor of a pro-growth candidate.

The most important thing about the Club for Growth is that they are not tied to a political party. In fact, they often causing headaches for RINO Republicans. The Club supports fiscally responsible candidates, even against GOP incumbents.

Says the Washington Times, the “Club for Growth packs a punch“:

The Club for Growth, champion of low taxes, fiscal responsibility and free market economics, isn’t exactly a household name, but it will be a major political force to be reckoned with in the 2010 midterm elections.

It has been around for at least several decades, quietly supporting House and Senate candidates who embrace pro-growth economic policies, but it has begun to play a much more visible role in Republican politics in recent elections – often backing conservative insurgents spurned by the Republican Party establishment.

Their growing power and influence stems from their ability to raise tens of millions of dollars for like-minded candidates to jump-start underfunded campaigns and to pump money into TV ads in key battleground states and district races to advance their agenda.

I quit giving to the GOP when Bush backed Specter against Toomey in Pennsylvania in 2004. Interestingly enough, Obama backed Specter in a more recent primary contest, this time with less success. (Specter didn’t change his voting habits after switch parties. If that does not demonstrate the true extent of the moral bankruptcy of the GOP, then nothing will.)

In fact, I no longer give to individual candidates except at the local level. That’s because my dollars at the federal level go into the coffers of the Club for Growth PAC, where it will be put to the best use possible. I encourage you to do the same.
