How CAN we help? There is no serious place to send contributions to, that won’t totally misuse that cash flow to support an agenda to which “we” (meaning the angry, now truculent, paleocons that are fed up with illegal immigration, inaction of any comprehensive energy policy, pandering to the liberals in Congress who are supercilious in their condemnation of all of the Contract with America, and the total lack of any oversight on earmarks for special interests). There were numerous opportunities to use the veto pen in the years from 2001 to 2006 (resulting in the debacle in 2006), yet where was George W. Bush.

I have been sending back requests from the various national Republican committees for funds to be spent on national campaigns, with the note that not a cent in donations will be made until we start seeing some serious action on controlling our borders, and the declaration of “energy independence” is backed up with some concrete proposals and actions.

And now the tax cuts under which we have been living for the past several years, will be allowed to lapse, which is a tax INCREASE, no matter how it is parsed. Only, the “tax increase” is not translatable into revenue increase, and people start to use strategies for tax AVOIDANCE, since it will essentially cost them nothing anyway, but the pool of taxable assets will shrink.

Women and children to be most severely affected.

Where are the priorities of this country, anyway.

“There is no serious place to send contributions to”

The campaigns of the Florida congressional GOP candidates who agree with you on the issues and are in open or tight races.

I’d start with Allan West. You know who he is, right?

Bush is not on the ballot. Many CONSERVATIVES are.

“And now the tax cuts under which we have been living for the past several years, will be allowed to lapse”

ONLY IF THE DEMOCRATS AND OBAMA WIN!
If it’s McCain + a good GOP year, we will salvage that and stop a $1 trillion tax hike.
God help us if it is Obama.

“Women and children to be most severely affected.”

LOL, so true!
