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.

“Any assertion that overall donations have gone down is patently false,” Miss Schmitt said.””

Says it all.

Individual contirbution losses outpaced by increased bribe-flows from corporate interests to profit off Bush’s wage depression “growth” policies.

That’s why Kyl, Lott, etc. can hold on to voting their country club received wisdom on immigration and not worry about what the little people think.

Pres. Bush waving goodbye to the GOP, his credibility on border security, and his loyal conservative base.

Send’em a brick!

I’m one of those former donors that told the solicitor a couple of weeks ago that they would not get another dime from me if that amnesty bill passed.

I copied your post so I didn't have to type it myself.

Last year, my daughter was a phone solicitor for the RNC. It was a brutal job!

Poor girl! I hope she recovers quickly.

The pity is that the RNC couldn't see this coming.
Most Americans hate the proposed amnesty.
Bush, et al are being stupid for promoting this travesty.

YES!!! Sorry to have to enjoy this but this is music to my ears - let the backstabbing sellout traitors go fish. Gee I hope that didn't sound too harsh [/s]

I agree, and I'm a former Bush-bot!

"I told the young man that instead of calling me for money they should be calling the illegals that the RNC prefers."

Or perhaps they can charge a "mordida" from the coyotes.

See this?

” W needs to insult us some more so we’ll come around to his superior point of view. “

Yeah, that’s what really been jerking my chain since this whole thing started a few weeks ago. Not only do they try to stuff this piece of crap down my throat, then they insult me when I choke on it.

What about all of those supposed surveys that Dole and Hastert send out quarterly. You know they have to be getting a very large percentage of them back stating such things as not one more dime until you close the borders or stop this amnesty!

I have no doubt that skew was deliberately introduced into any such survey, in order to get the "proper" outcome. It's all in how the questions are framed.

ROTFLMAO I love it. I know when they called our house the past few months asking for donations, I told them off and not to call again. That I am fed up with the RHINO’s and until they listen not one more penny from me.

They seem to forget that corporations can't vote.

I got a call from the RNC on Saturday, they wanted money, they got an earful instead. The solicitor treated me and my views with such disdain, I was shocked; he didn’t even try to give lip-service to an opinion that didn’t mirror the RNC. I hope I got through to him when I told him I would actively work against any Republican that voted for that back-room shamnesty bill.

I got an email from D Hunter telling me to support Mel and the RNC.

I'm having a little trouble believing it would have come from Hunter's office. He's the anti Bush.

Because the Republicans have always been the grown ups. The problem is that instead of being for border security first and forcing the Dems to either come to their side of fight against popular opinion, they sidle up to Kennedy and call the base bigots. If they did the will of Republican voters, being we are in the minority, the Dems would have to be the ones explaining this bill. Instead the fat cats want this thing and the Pubs are just dancing to their tune.

They can blame the people manning the phones all they want but unless they hire the “Mission: Impossible” team, it won’t help.
