“I will give to individual candidates that I support, not the RNC that supports amnesty”.

Well, it is killed. There is nothing remaining on the table for the RNC to support.

But who is now going to ante up?

Bush still has a lot of work to do to re-earn the lost trust. If Bush and the Republicans want to revive the donors they just disparagingly called vigilantes, bigots, nativists, wanting to execute 20 million people...

An apology from Bush and Co is in order and it might go far to healing the wounds.

Bush stupidly continues to ignore the illegal immigration problem. After the biggest fight of his administration, a fight against his own Republican voter base, he needs to hold a press conference telling America what he's going to do.

Last week Michael Chertoff stated it would be 2013 before America had operational control of our borders, is that Bush's true plan, leave it to the next President to fix? If so, that's unacceptable plain and simple.

Bush needs to show the country that he now understands the problem and is serious about fixing it, perhaps calling up the National Guard and stationing 6 ~ 8 soldiers per mile with rules on engagement that meet force with force, no more rules of engagement forcing our guys to run away.

Exactly. If I was in charge I'd have a press conference stating that the borders would be sealed up by the end of the week; that we'd cut funding from social services for the illegals and use that money for personnel and equipment to ensure that nobody sneaks in, starting Monday. (I know, amateurs talk tactics, experts talk logistics - but I think it could be done if someone had a backbone.)

OK, next issue -

As a life long Repub, who has supported the GOP in the past, I have no plans to give the GOP a dime for ‘08.

For a variety of reasons which can be summed up as disgust with lack to GOP spine.

Also, Bush pissing on his base at key intervals re. amnesty etc has been less than motivating.

So, yes, the lack of GOP money is no surprise. Seems I’m not alone.

No, the Dems are the party of the rich, elite (who buy their way to power via bread & circuses).

Right, Bush in bed with Kennedy on key issues is hurting the GOP at all levels.

A GOP President is implicit GOP leader.

Bush is not liberal enough to attract Dem voters.

And he is pissing off the conservative base.

Who does that leave to vote GOP? The undecided who do “eenie meenie minee moe” in ballot decisions?

I have never understood why Bush never responds to his critics?

Can anyone tell me why a grown man would call a senator his friend and then have that so called friend call him something worse than a low life dog?

Well, it is killed.

Don’t worry, the democrats can’t sell out fast enough and the American people know that. They can take all the money from the communists, the chinese, the homosexuals, the islamofascists, the hippies and Michael Moore but they can’t take our freedom away. We shall fight them in the hills, in the land and in the sea, we shall fight them in the fields and in congress.

2008 will be our finest hour.

Not good! One GOP strength was the ability to raise money. Bush made too many enemies. It is taking the party down.

Enemies, SHAMNESTY.....KILLED THE GOLDEN GOOSE.

In a nutshell, your both right.

I can only speculate what would happen with The Beast in the Oval Office.

I agree with your Conserative Islam vs. Female Leader assessment and what is really scary is we will probably get to find out what they will do!!!!

Shamnesty killed the Golden Goose makes a good tag line.

Now that our predictions have come true it shows that the CONSERVATIVE blogers have more common sense than do our leaders.
