The buying of the government after 2008 has already begun. The current set of representatives are already bought and paid for.

What's most interesting about this analysis is what it doesn't say, which is that the big money funders for the Republicans have shifted their money away from Congressional raises toward the upcoming Presidential election. The lack of money for Congress means that Republicans have essentially written off the upcoming Congressional elections and any gains they might have made for Republican controlled seats and shifted their money toward staving off a Democratic candidacy, most particularly a Clinton Presidency, which would be devastating toward Republican interests.

Democrat = Republican = traitor. They're all the same. A vote for Rudy is a vote for Hillary... they all work for the same boss.

Leading up to the '06 election the Republican party, at all levels supported the liberal Republican candidates and not only refused to support but actually attacked conservative ones. If a conservative successfully challaged a liberal republican in the primaries, the party picked up its marbles and went home, prefering to forfeit the seat rather than support a conservative...remember the Arizona 8th, or Laffee vs chaffee?...Rove, specter etc wrote the conservatives off...actually said they didn't need us to win...Hey...Do ya want us now, huh huh huh?

Every time the RNC calls, I tell them I will donate to them again when the Republicans in both houses of Congress start governing the way the people that elected them want them to govern. I will no longer stand for them running as Conservatives and governing like Liberals. Apparently a lot of people are doing the same. Good.

I only contribute to those specific GOP candidates who I know for sure have not sold out the country on the issue of illegal immigration. I will not contribute to the national GOP as long as pro amnesty Martinez is chairman of the GOP National Committee.

I guess if you screw up too badly, people don;t give you any money.

I feel so bad for the GOP. It is not their fault that they are a bunch of incompetent, corrupt, and immoral racists.

Or is it?

I was a regular contributor to several GOP committees, however, since the party is run by RINO's and not traditional conservatives, I no longer support them. I have also switched my registration from Republican to Independent. When the GOP returns to its grass roots and prompts true conservative then and only then will I return to the party.

Their only hope is the new crop of Ron Paul Republicans, as the base is tired of the big spending neo-conservatives, just like the rest of the country.

We have too many ignorant people that are able to vote just because they are of age.

Any elected official that is not commited to doing everything in his or her power to do what is good for this nation should be run out of town. Our current president is doing just that (for the most part) and no one stands behind him. Most everyone in the nation now (both governing officials and citizens) are self-centered, greedy, immoral, self-serving and near-sighted. The immoral majority is well represented in our government.

Not one penny of my treasure, not one moment of my time. I am an old fashioned conservative and so can no longer identify myself as a republican. With astounding arrogance, the "machine" has ground us down and spit us out. The only time they kiss up is when they want my money. What they get now from me is "Non habla englese!"

Nobody is standing behind our current president because he's made almost everything he touches worse! He's thrown away the core conservative value or fiscal responsibility for a "borrow and spend" plan that our children will bear for decades. He's screwed up the Iraq war so badly that he's now responsible for the creation of more terrorists than Bin Laden. He's done all this while alienating every non-Christian voting demographic in the nation.

Ditto with Lizzard Lipps, Ziggy 589, DeToqueville, Paul H. Lortie, Larry & Isabel. I work and play with tons of activists in Houston and almost all of us have said "NO" to the RNC and their liberal ways. Real conservatives know they've sold out.

Republicans / Democrats

That's why I register as Independent. Oh, and no more voting for the lesser of two evils. I will simply abstain as long as neither party can produce a worthwhile candidate.

There is only one home for conservatives it's called the Constitution Party. I didn't leave the Republicans they left me. They need to give us a reason why we should vote for them rather than scaring us into voting aginst "Hitlery". Please vote for what you want and trust G-d for the result.

I am sick of being branded less than patriotic for asking logical questions concerning this administration's foreign and domestic policies. I am disgusted with President Bush for attacking citizens who volunteer their time for border observation by calling them "vigilantes". I am quite peeved with President Bush for calling citizens who question the NAFTA Superhighway, the SPP, and the formation of a North American Union, "conspiracy theorists". All of the aformentioned organizations, projects, and actions exist and are being acted upon. The proof is there!!! President Bush sopped up the votes of evangelical conservatives then spit in their faces. He continues, with great arrogance, to belittle true conservatives. I told my friends and family in 2000 that Bush isn't what he seems. I told them Bush is a globalist who could care less about the Constitution. Well, brothers and sisters, are you satisfied? You got what you deserved and then some.

Calling people cash poor who stole Ft.Knox and hid it in their basements, backyards, foreign banks, etc. is like calling the MAINSCREAM media on top of things. It don't add up do it, VIRGINIA????

Agreed with every other real conservative American on this board. I never believed Bush was a true America and especially a constitutional conservative..., NEVER! I voted for Pat Buchanan in 1992,1996, and 2000. If Christians are going to be so naive again to buy the "party guy vote" another time I will hang my head in shame for them.

The elite globalist and their RINO servants have raped us for our money, our strength, given away ours and our children's heritage to illegal aliens, our jobs to feigners, in the process of selling our Highways for toll roads, power systems, etc.!!

Please don't vote for the two evils again, we have to have a revolution NOW not later. Congressman Ron Paul and Tom Tancredo V.P.. Bart is right..., "vote for what you want and trust God for the result."

I only donate to specific America First Candidates now. I would not flip a penny to the RNC with "Fidel Mel" running it. They are nothing more than a (CFR) Council on Foreign Relations outreach arm. I cannot support a North American Union or all of this other Constitution killing socialism that Big Government Neo-Cons have come up with. Time for a return to the fundamentals of conservatism. Republicans better run on the Fair Tax, getting out of the UN, FAIR Trade not the Nafta/Cafta-China giveaway gig that sends jobs overseas and securing the border while cutting off freeloading benefits to illegal aliens so that they will go back from where they came.

For a Safe & Secure America Vote Tancredo

I was a conservative Republican for many years until I finally figured out that as soon as the "conservative republican" that I helped get elected got into office they turned their backs on everything that they said they were going to do and became the same as they guy that I voted against. Look at what baby bush said in 1999 to get elected to his first term if you don't believe me. I'm voting in the republican primary this time to elect the one man who talks the talk and walks the walk, Congressman Ron Paul of Texas. He's for small government and wants to restore American citizens rights that baby bush has taken from us. Otherwise I will vote for the Libertarian Party candidates in the next election because at least I can look in the mirror the next morning and know that I didn't do anything to take this country down the road to socialism thru my vote.
