Yeah. You know something? It's still true. The folks concerned about illegal immigration haven't done jack-s**t for the GOP. It's too much like work, after all.

Is that right? I always voted Republican from '95 to this year, without fail. I campaigned for every Republican on the ballot.

Not anymore. The GOP has taken my vote and support for granted and assumed I had pledged absolute fealty to them and to Bush.

Screw that.

You are the exception.

The usual experience of the single-issue voter is that they are likely to either no-show or deliberately work to throw the election to a Democrat if they don't get every jot and tittle of their program.

Incidentally...you are helping reinforce the above image.

From a pure cost-benefit analysis, getting your one vote costs the GOP more than one vote elsewhere. You have failed to demonstrate that keeping you happy is worth losing swing voters who don't view the issue the same way you do.
