Neither ethics nor empirical evidence seems to bother the Beltway fellas running the National Republican Senate Committee or the Republican National Committee. The former is busy bashing a Republican (Laffey in RI) in ads and the latter is actively supporting the Democrat-turned-Independent Lieberman over his Republican opponent in CT. These kind of bizarre infighting tactics were common amongst Democrats not too long ago...now the GOP has adopted them in the spirit of unprincipled bi-partisanship.
If principles or the concept of loyalty doesn't bother the latte-sipping, Washington Post reading, moderate image craving Beltway Republicans, at least evidence should. All the money and big guns couldn't help the believe-nothing incumbent GOP Congressman Joe Schwartz in Michigan last month. The same fate befell the Establishment-anointed Jeff Crank in Colorado that same week. It has been well said since time immemorial that those who stand for nothing, fall for anything. Is that the fate that NRSC and RNC are courting this fall?
Why do so many otherwise decent conservative staffers start going pink the moment they get to Washington, DC?
