Maybe the RNC and the GOP senators will get the message when and if their money dries up. Since money drives politicians and political parties, that is the only thing they understand. Of course, if the GOP gets really desperate, they can go begging to George Soros!

Shoot Polyxene, they don't have to go to Soros. Any ol' Senator will do. They've set themselves up well, financially speaking. Let them cough up the money. Hehehehehe.

Some of them already are. Check out the Republicam Nain Street Partnership and its "Main Street Individual Fund," which Soros gave to.

Group with Houghton ties raised money from Bush critic
- Funds go to entities created by Main Street Partnership that raise soft money.

WASHINGTON -- A group supporting moderate Republicans, led by New York Rep. Amo Houghton, has pocketed $50,000 from George Soros -- one of President Bush's harshest critics -- even as the GOP tries to stop the liberal billionaire from helping Democratic-leaning groups pay for anti-Bush ads.

The Soros connection has put Houghton on the spot at home. Conservative Mark Assini, a Rochester-area county legislator hoping to challenge the veteran congressman in a GOP primary this fall, accuses Houghton of betraying Bush and the Republican Party by "partnering" with Soros.

But there are also questions about whether groups such as the Republican Main Street Partnership, the organization that Houghton helped establish and now finances, should use different entities to raise "soft money," unlimited amounts of unregulated cash from corporations, labor unions and wealthy individuals like Soros.
