RNC Fires Phone Solicitors [former donors outraged over amnesty]

There has been a sharp decline in contributions from RNC phone solicitations, another fired staffer said, reporting that many former donors flatly refuse to give more money to the national party if Mr. Bush and the Senate Republicans insist on supporting what these angry contributors call "amnesty" for illegal aliens. "Everyone donor in 50 states we reached has been angry, especially in the last month and a half, and for 99 percent of them immigration is the No. 1 issue," said the former employee.

Count me in as someone who stopped giving to the RNC a few years ago when I first heard Bush’s stance on this. What a waste.

[Soul Seeker]

Well, maybe we should believe the spokesperson for the RNC denying this is in part related to a drop off in financial contributions due to amnesty. They are usually forthright and honest with us. Aren’t they? remember that time they said they’d build the fence for the border? Oh, right...never happened.

Last time I gave to any Republican financially was in 2006, and those donations went directly to pro-enforcement Republicans. I’ve been ripping up any mailed pleas for funds from the RNC for quite awhile now.

The party can got to hell for all I care with this amnesty passage. They’ll have effectively sentenced themselves there anyway as all the newly minted “Americans” astound them by voting Democrat despite their great “sensitivity” and struggle against the yahoos in their own party.

I read from a reader on NR that this is the equivalent of “War of Roses” betwween the President and his former conservative loyalists. Sounds about right.

Actually, telling the solicitors that you want the GOP to support true conservatives like Hunter probably isn’t a bad idea

"Everyone donor in 50 states we reached has been angry, especially in the last month and a half, and for 99 percent of them immigration is the No. 1 issue"

What a bum break ... 99 per cent of the people on their call list are bigoted scare-mongers who don't want what's best for America.

Heh ... what I like about this is that, being in the Washington Times, this article will be seen be all the GOP Congress critters.

Those stupid bastards dont care.This amnesty comes from the top and is paid for by big business(corporations.Melman needs to be run out of town on a rail. Come to think of it so does horge arbusto.

Thank God, I could give them a better life than my parents could give me. I think we still live in a great country (for now anyway.)

My children had a better life than I had while growing up, indoor plumbing and electric lights. (No kidding) And, they are all productive members of society...it's my grandchildren and great-grandchildren I worry about. Are they going to be shoved aside by these invaders?

Very few people here have called for the deportation of all illegal aliens. How about simply putting some minor speed bumps along the road for them in our legal processes -- like two simple ones: 1) no illegal alien can have legal standing in a civil court, and 2) any illegal alien convicted of a felony must serve a mandatory ten-year sentence on top of whatever sentence they receive for their crime. I'd venture to guess that a proposal like that would get overwhelming support from U.S. voters.

A country that can't even define a clear difference between an illegal alien and a law-abiding citizen IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER is out of its freaking mind.

They have been asking the same questions for 6 years now. I told them when they get them accomplished to give me a call.

[Yo-Yo]

Sure, fire the phone solicitors who are only the bearers of this “no amnesty” message.

[mockingbyrd]

I have has SOOOOO much fun with the recent calls I have gotten. I always make sure to tell the poor solicitor that I know they have nothing to do with the hairbrained schemes our dear sweet politicians come up with, but they do seem willing to hear me out. And I feel so much better. I used to give the party money, especially come presidential time, so payback’s been sweet.

Chortle pingie!

Typical clueless corporate behavior: fire the Indians for the policies of the chiefs.

The Bush family destruction of the GOP continues apace. If their agent in California is any indication, there is no limit to how far left they'll go. Oh, but conservatives fell for him because he could win!

Don't blame me; I voted for Keyes.

In the past I gave regularly to the RNC. I have been getting requests from donations by mail with the ‘no postage required’ envelope. So I take a piece of paper and write “ NO AMNESTY” and mail it back. Let the RNC pay for my opinion! Of course I have been doing this for over a year. Apparently they aren’t listening.

[Suzy Quzy]

This DIDN’T start with Amnesty....it started because they gave money to all the RINOS...Chaffee...Susan Collins...Olympia Snow....SNARLIN ARLEN SPECTOR....etc. Why give money to these people??? The Amnesty disaster is just the straw that broke the elephant’s tusk.

[GatorGirl]

I’ve taken to returning my numerous mail solicitations from the RNC back with a message: “kill amnesty and you might have a chance of getting some money from me”. I send it in their postage paid envelope!!!!

I urge everyone here to do the same!!

I feel bad for those who have lost their jobs but I really hope the RNC gets a clue from all this.

[SampleMan]

I’ve sent all the solicitations back with “Stop Illegal Immigration” written in red for the last 2 years. No money though.

[Lancey Howard]

If we cave to this, the French have every right to call *US* the cheese-eating surrender monkeys ..

Oooooph..... That's brutal.
But accurate.

[greyfoxx39]

Hilarious, GWB!

[ScreamingFist]

And while everyone is at it, send the Republicans this link, shows how to close a border, in this case, the DMZ in Korea....dogs, Humvees, fences, machine guns.....you get the idea. Be advised the graphics are cool but the music is pretty hardcore with language.....so turn it down if that offends you........enjoy...:)
