Wouldn't have happened without him.
Most of the 'help' he had came from the general public, not the RNC, or the GOP Senators, most of whom only did so becuse of pressure applied from above by President Bush multiplied by the pressure below from people like you and me.
I'm not one of those who is going to vote third-party.... There is no rational alternative to voting Republican.
I'm just withholding money; I don't have enough of it myself to actually make my voice be heard..... So, withholding my time and small money and convincing my family to withhold their larger donations is the only way that people like me will ever be heard.
And the way that I withhold the money gets more attention than sending a ten thousand dollar check would.
Maybe if we get some good, strong, conservative Candidates to run, I'll open the checkbook again; The way things look now, I don't hold much hope for that happening.
With my (heretofore Conservative) GOP Senator this week sponsoring a bill which would in effect grant amnesty and permanent residency to 12 million current Illegal Aliens, and many millions more in the next few years...
And the GOP Representative from the next district calling for a congressional investigation into "Bush's Spying on Americans" last week, it seems even more unlikely.
And those two people used to get a lot of support from us.... So, Yes, I am feeling betrayed and nearly totally hopeless for the future
There are quite a few good conservatives running, IMHO. Santorum, Steele, Blackwell, Talent, etc.
