NO, NO, please tell me this is not so... NO NO NO.

He is 100% pro-amnesty. He'd bring them all here tomorrow if he could.

This is horrible.

Just starve the RNC for cash.

I haven't sent them anything in so long, I'd have to ask them to send me money...

How in the world can our leadership continue to make mistakes like this.. Mel is Cuban, Floridian, etc... but he cannot plan a picnic.. is not interested in or knowledgeable Re: economics, global commerce, key domestic issues and on top of it all... does not or cannot listen worth a darn to American hopes/dreams/visions.. has not had the capacity to actually hire competent staff (remember the insane staffing in his first year?)how in the heck can he possibly lead our party... has George gone totally nutz???

I'm surprised they didn't appoint Vicente Fox.

This is a travesty. It looks like the GOP is learning absolutely nothing from last Tuesday.

So the RNC is shooting themselves in the foot, only aiming much higher.

Sound Taps.

Or, as Dandy Don Merideth used to sing on Monday Night Football, "Turn out the Lights, the Party's Over".

Because he's a loser.

And not a loser like Steele, who lost an incredibly difficult race that where the deck was stacked against him. A loser who lost a race he was almost incapable of losing.

Hayworth and Allen are the two biggest losers in the US for 2006.

I guess he can be GOP chair as an active senator?

Ole Mel hasn't been too active as a Senator. He has been pretty much in cognito since taking office.

This year, I got a letter from the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, and they asked for a donation. I wrote, "I won't give you any money because you might give it to RINO's, including Lincoln Chaffee or Olympia Snowe."

This has nothing to do with his voting record.

Most of the people here have a problem with his surname.
