Disgusting? I'll tell you what's disgusting.

For over four years our SOLE communication with the GOP was "SECURE THE BORDERS!". For four years, they sent us solicitations for donations, and called us. Our response never changed.

This culminated with that amnesty debuncle. At this, we jammed legislative switchboards in D.C., flooded e-mail systems, and ran their fax machines out of paper. We pressured enough Senators to stop the bill from passing.

But what was the response? The response was the President's scorching rebuttal to us a day later. Did you see it? I was amazed. I felt like he was talking to me personally! He was obviously angry at us! I logically thought that since we had managed to exert enough pressure, that he would be the man we voted for and do what was voiced by us.

But instead, a few days later he went to our enemy, Harry Reid and asked him to resurrect the bill. THIS is what split the GOP.

The reason this is dangerous is because there is a large base of now former GOP voters who wouldn't vote for "Rudy McRomney" if it meant life or death. We're just some of those people. We're going to vote for Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo, Fred Thompson, or Ron Paul. But collectively, we'll have no strength because these men are all some very good picks! They will divide our vote! Some are better than others, but they're all preferred over the current GOP front runners, and certainly the DNC picks.

But if the GOP doesn't nominate somebody like Duncan Hunter or one of those I mentioned above, this election is OVER. We'll be too divided as a conservative base to have any effect in the outcome. The result will be that Hillary Rodham Clinton will become the 44the President of the United States of America.

We won't vote for a "second best" again. We won't vote for a "Rudy McRomney" just to keep Hillary from winning the Presidency. But there are masses of cowards out there who will support the GOP come hell or high water, and they will. Of course they'll blame people like us for voting for a good man such as Duncan Hunter as Hillary is being sworn into office and we're all lamenting it. But it won't change the fact that we did what was right, and correct and they did NOT.
