“Too Conservative To Win”

“Too Conservative To Win” is the biggest lie in politics today and it's being told across the aisle by RINO tax-and-spend candidates and radical liberals alike.

With this lie in mind, Karl Rove has created a well-funded organization called the Conservative Victory Project designed to prevent GOP primary candidates considered “too conservative” to win general elections from gaining traction.

Rove is prepared to spend millions of dollars to advance the liberal agenda by convincing Americans that we must disregard our conservative values to gain a Republican majority.

The truth is that Republican candidates who embrace conservative principals are the biggest threat to the extreme liberal agenda because conservative Republicans win.

Rove and his supporters have lost sight of the reason we are in this fight. Reclaiming a Republican majority in both chambers is the best defense against Barack Obama and his dangerous policies, but if we do so at the expense of liberty, we have lost something even greater.

Our values, our convictions, our beliefs, and the principles our country was founded on – this is who we are, and we don’t waver or compromise. This is what makes us conservatives.

We are committed to standing up for – and standing with – those unapologetically conservative, pro-freedom candidates in the featured races outlined below.

South Dakota, U.S. Senate, Mike Rounds

The contested South Dakota U.S. Senate seat is seen as a prime opening for Republicans in a state Mitt Romney won by 18 points, and it will be a crucial contest in the Republican Party’s quest to win control of the chamber.

Former South Dakota Governor Mike Rounds will be challenging Democratic Senator Tim Johnson, considered one of the most vulnerable incumbents in 2014. Mike Rounds is a family man, business owner, committed advocate for the unborn, and the right Republican candidate for this U.S. Senate seat.

Iowa, U.S. Senate, Steve King

The announcement from Iowa Senator Tom Harkin (D) that he will retire and not seek re-election to a sixth term sets the stage for one of the most competitive 2014 senate races in the country.

Representative Steve King, an outspoken fiscal and social conservative is the candidate to keep your eye on in this race.

King already has been marked as a target by the anti-conservative, Karl Rove-backed Conservative Victory Project – and they will stop at nothing to prevent the conservative King from becoming Iowa's Republican U.S. Senate nominee.

Alaska, U.S. Senate, Mead Treadwell

In 2008, former Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich (D) narrowly defeated incumbent Senator Ted Stevens (R), a mainstay of Alaska politics who was under indictment. Since then, Begich has been gearing up for a tough reelection battle in this decidedly “red” state, where many Republicans already are waiting to take him on.

The true conservative’s candidate to challenge Alaska's only Democrat in Congress is domestic energy champion and fiscal conservative, Lt. Governor Mead Treadwell.

Minnesota, U.S. Senate, Anyone but Franken

Former liberal talk show host and comedian Al Franken (D) defeated incumbent Senator Norm Coleman (R) in 2008 after a closely-fought election that ended in a virtual draw, before a recount declared Franken the winner by just 312 votes. Given these circumstances, political pundits predict that Franken's seat is very much up for grabs in 2014.

Franken is known for his anti-conservative hate speech and extreme liberal policies. The freshman senator raised more than $20 million in his first run against Republican incumbent Norm Coleman, and he is beginning his re-election bid with $1.3 million in the bank. Conservatives can't afford to wait around for a Republican candidate to commit to running against Franken – we must begin investing in the race to send Franken home today.
