Because the party wants to give us the same tired old repackaged crap. I give to individual candidates.

The GOP left me here:

SOME BIG DONORS REFUSE TO FINANCE CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVE AGENDAA POST-ELECTION SURVEY FOUND THAT CHRISTIAN COALITION SUPPORT MADE VOTERS LESS LIKELY TO VOTE FOR DOLE-KEMP EVERYWHERE EXCEPT THE SOUTH.
Excerpt:
To understand why behind-closed-door revolts against the religious right are gathering speed - and cash - at lofty levels of the Republican Party, look at a plebeian congressman like Tom Coburn of Oklahoma. No sooner had 65 million Americans embraced ``Schindler’s List’’ last Sunday than Coburn denounced NBC for affronting ``decent-minded individuals everywhere’’ and hitting an ``all-time low’’ by airing a movie with ``multiple gunshot wounds, vile language, full frontal nudity and irresponsible sexual activity.’’
Coburn co-chairs the Congressional Family Caucus and is an exemplar of Christian Coalition values: He scores 100 percent on the Pat Robertson-Ralph Reed machine’s voter guides. But is he anywhere near the American mainstream that decides national elections? Panicked GOP elders had to school him in the fact that nudity and violence were just plain unavoidable in the Holocaust before he retreated.
It’s religious-right poster boys like Coburn who make some Republican leaders fear that their party is doomed to drive away even more women and moderates, thereby continuing its losing streak in presidential elections and risking a bicoastal congressional meltdown. A post-election survey by American Viewpoint, a GOP pollster, for the Log Cabin Republicans found that Christian Coalition support made voters dramatically less likely to vote for Dole-Kemp everywhere except the South.
When Ralph Reed once again lorded his power over the party in January - bragging to the columnist David Broder that ``Christian conservatives were decisive’’ in electing James Nicholson to succeed Haley Barbour as GOP chairman - one party powerhouse got sore enough to take action. John Moran - the GOP and then Dole finance chairman in recent years - wrote a letter to 15 other Republican heavy-hitters saying that the Christian Coalition and far right had put the party ``in jeopardy.’’ He proposed that big donors give to a separate organization to promote a more moderate GOP.

And entered the Main Streeters, Party of Lincoln, Log Cabins and what ever other fancy spin off of the same group they put under that tent.
You said it BEST, same old CRAP.
I’m giving right to Fred Thompson.
I agree, I give to individual conservative candidates.
I agree. No money for a party that supports RINOs. I give to individuals and it is too early for that.
Same here and that is what I tell the RNC when they call me to donate to them. I tell them when the RNC grows a pair, developes a spine and fights back to the crap that has been spewing for years, then I”ll give to them. Until then, I pick my candidates to support. You’d think that they would have learned their lesson by now, but they don’t want to lose their jobs either, I guess.
“Because the party wants to give us the same tired old repackaged crap. I give to individual candidates.”
Me too, and I will never give to the RNC again! They have decided to back RINOS over real conservatives, so I will find my own real conservatives to send my money to!
