O'Donnell: My PAC Will Fight 'Liberal' GOP Elite
The Hill reports:
Former GOP Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell launched her new political action committee Tuesday, vowing it will play a leading role in competitive primaries and counter the "liberal-controlled GOP establishment."
In slamming the Republican establishment in a fundraising e-mail, O'Donnell repeated a rallying cry during 2010's general election campaign against Democrat Chris Coons.
"A strong ChristinePAC will enable me to counter the liberal-controlled GOP establishment in upcoming Congressional Primaries," O'Donnell said. "Remember, for primary challengers to win, conservatives needs to start organizing now in 2011 — or else candidates who reflect our values won't be able to run an effective 2012 campaign."
O'Donnell, who became a Tea Party star after defeating Rep. Mike Castle (R-Del.) in the GOP primary for Vice President Biden's former Senate seat, also said ChristinePAC will serve as a vehicle to "investigate and counter attack leftwing groups." Those funded by "billionaire leftist George Soros" were singled out.
"I'm determined not to let them destroy our movement," O'Donnell wrote in the e-mail appeal. "If I stand alone, though, I'm no match for the liberal media and the political establishment. But, with us standing together to fight, they don't have a chance!"
