Maybe the illegals can give them the money Americans won’t give.

The GOP is learning that a very large portion of their base consists of principled people who don't follow party hacks just because they have an (R) after their name.

The notion that someone should blindly support a political party in all cases is something I would expect from people with room-temperature IQs anyway.

Oh, the RNC did their job. They did their job for where the money comes in now. They embraced the Log Cabin Communities monies and have become the enemy within.

http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Log_Cabin_Republicans
Log Cabin Republicans campaigned AGAINST Bush in 2004.

Log Cabin (Republicans) need to account for where they got the money to fund the $1M ad campaign against President Bush in 2004 in key battleground states. This is a Federally-regulated organization (IRS and FEC rules apply!), but they have never documented where this money came from.

Many of us are still donating but to individual candidates. I am supporting Duncan Hunter.

Who would give to a party that supports Arlen Specter.

And Linsey Grahamnesty, John McPain, and the rest of the gang of fourteen......among others.......

The GOP won't get another dime from me until they start practicing what they preach and start folowing the Constitution!

Exactly correct. I’m surprised HH didn’t know this.

Simple. They are waiting for Fred.

Precisely, I already sent Fred $100 that I didn't really have to send but I did it anyway to get him going.

I prefer to think of it as keeping our powder dry.

Cannister works better when the enemy is in close.

With pro-amnesty types like Martinez in the forefront, I find my once rock-solid enthusiasm for the GOP to be seriously on the wane. Maybe things will change once the nominating process gets into full gear, and there’s someone I like and can root for at the top of the ticket. But, I don’t know for sure. I’ve never been at this low point before. The whole pro-amnesty stance of many Republican leaders really shattered my faith and trust in the Party.

"Why Aren't Republican Donors Giving?"

My first guess would be since Bush and Company, a subsidiary of Karl Rove, has made public threats of withholding funds from GOP candidates who choose differing opinions from those Bush Abominations, Americans don't take too lightly to such flavorful underhanded tactics of extortion using their own donations, and with Bush and Company manning the purse strings of the GOP, those Americans will fund their candidate choices free from RNC intimidation.

This is from your e-mail:

>>The verifier, gets mad/defensive. Asks me why would the RNC not support Log Cabin Republicans? He says they are part of the GOP and deserve our vote.<<

Kinda says it all! You should call the guy back and do a Donald Trump...”RNC, You’re Fired”.

When the Republican party begins acting like they have a set of balls, then maybe I’ll start giving them money again. I refuse to support eunuchs.

When the GOP's senate challengers to defeatist incumbent Democrats emerge in Montana, Louisiana, Iowa, and Arkansas to join Bob Schaeffer in Colorado, there will be some rallying to them if they run on a victory platform, but not until then, and then only into the campaigns of the individuals.

Arkansas doesn't vote out incumbents unless they do something totally stupid (like Tim Hutchinson). Bill Clinton lost his job as Governor for a term because he tried to do too much too soon and because Hillary became Hillary Rodham. Hillary changed her name back and Bill became DLC Bill and he won the grudge match in 1982. Bumpers and Pryor retired and weren't defeated. Lincoln hasn't lost, yet. Mark Pryor is safe in his seat, too. Huckabee wasn't ever in any trouble of losing after Tucker got convicted (and that's the only reason Tucker lost his job). In fact, no one is even challenging Pryor except a total nobody (Chuck Banks, who could not manage to even get the 2006 GOP nomination for LG).
