Let's ask WHY?
Why in the face of a Democrat majority which should get Republicans into a mood for a fight, are GOP donors just not interested?

AMNESTY!

Amnesty killed the GOP voter's interest in helping the party. 90+% of Americans are against amnesty! The GOP's fundraising tanked during the amnesty battle and never recovered.

GOP voters might go to the polls and vote for the lesser of two evils in 2008, but why bother supporting with enthusiasm (or $) a party that keeps trying to force amnesty down our throats. The GOP leaders (as well as Dems) keep putting amnesty provisions into bills hoping nobody will notice. We do notice!

How to get GOP donors to open their wallets and support candidates with enthusiasm? Actually BUILD a 2,000 mile fence on the Mexican border. A 2,000 mile fence COULD be build before Bush leaves office at a cost of less than a month of the Iraq war. Defeat all anmesty/guest worker bills (and do not introduce any). Limit all immigration until the recent tens of millions are fully assimilated. Pass English as the official language. Listen to the voters! Oh yes, no more "Bridge to Nowhere" projects!

If the Republican Party ever wishes to regain a majority, their leaders would be well advised to read the comments on this page. Lip service will not open the pocketbooks of betrayed supporters, only real action on the issues diescussed on this page will make a difference.

No one should vote straight Party lines, ever again! These 2 Parties don't deserve our respect, let alone our votes.

I'm voting for issues.....for one that means they will seal the borders and enforce our immigration laws...and not take any more flack from the Mexican government. I am voting for one that fights to maintain our manufacturing jobs and brings back the pride we have in , Made in America!

And for one will a spine enough to stand up and tell foreign countries that the bank is closed, to start reforming your own countries to help your own people...especially those countries that have rich resources and continue to be corrupt, while having their hand out to take our tax dollars.

Anyone know a candidate like this?

When they call me I tell them because of their treachery and the treachery of Dear Leader I'm sending all the money I would have sent them and would be sending in the future to Ron Paul. Oh they simple love to hear that. And then I add some extra to the check I send to Ron Paul's campaign just to show my disgust for the Republican party leadership and Dear Leader.

This current treasonous government is making safe the way for each block of the New World Order to be placed: rampant immigration, un-"free trade", the NAFTA superhighway, the destruction of the trucking industry with cheap-labor Mexicans, SPP, and of course finally, one World Government. Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Michael Medved...are all shill "Tokyo Roses" for the internationalist elite -- they are the worst of traitors.

Sounds like the Republicans run their own house the way they've run the country...INTO THE DITCH with a NINE TRILLION DOLLAR National Debt. Must have been the fact that Republicans spent FIFTEEN times as much on pork as the Democrats in charge of Congress before them. So much for "fiscal conservatives". No such thing...that's just a propaganda slogan.

OK. I'm a long time Conservative Republican who is simply tired of fighting my own Party let alone the Dems. I'm trying to figure out why Bush is selling out America, why we won't build the fence, why Gov. Rick Perry is pushing for Mexican trucks when he knows Texans don't want them etc... etc... etc...

I must repeat No Amnesty's post:
Defeat all anmesty/guest worker bills (and do not introduce any). Limit all immigration until the recent tens of millions are fully assimilated. Pass English as the official language. Listen to the voters! Oh yes, no more "Bridge to Nowhere" projects!

WHERE IS OUR VIABLE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE?? THERE ISN'T ONE! This is DOLE all over again.

I could go on and on but I'm getting too mad to continue typing...

So long America. I'm afraid Hitlery is about to take over. The USA we once knew is gone forever friend.

Because of the progression of the up and coming American Union, the continuing amnesty endeavors, and the failure to take the party rank and file's concern about border security seriously (where is the fence?) Bush and the other administration globalists
have ruined the Republican party.

Sounds like a lot of repubs would like the GOP to return to conservative values. Goldwater was the last true conservative. There is a Goldwater republican running this time - her name is HILLARY! Too conservative for me, but you might find you agree with her if you can get past the dittohead hillery crap and listen to what she says instead of what Rush says she says.

The GOP party used to stand for small government, small spending. Now it is hijacked by the Christian right and has become a religious party rather than a political party. I don't know about you, but I don't want to live in a high-debt theocracy-which is exactly what Bush and the current repubs have turned us into.

These GOPers have really shown what a bunch of right winged extremist warmongering born-agains will do to this country-bring it to its knees. We need a moderate democrat-like Hillary or Edwards-people that aren't too liberal, have common sense, strong on terror, and are willing to get us out of the mess that Bush got us into.

Want a true conservative? Check out Ron Paul.

He's a strict constitutionalist and stands for everything I thought the Republican Party was supposed to believe in.
Want to live in a Police State? Vote for Giuliani or Clinton, it doesn't matter, you'll get the same either way.

Anytime you hear these blind patriots screaming that "it's a liberal ploy" to enable "our enemies" you can bet your boots that they are simpletons who are just TOO LAZY to do the homework it takes to actually understand what is happening around them. They want to remain in bed where it is nice and warm... nappy time for the ignorant who want to return to dreamland where the USA is not capable of being misled. Where all you need is a flag, a pie, a mom and a bible and you can back ANY presidential military conquest because after all, in dreamland, the president is ALWAYS RIGHT and KNOWS what is in our best interests. Perhaps you guys will not go away, but could you please STAY OUT of the political process?

Poor republicans, we should all feel their pain about RIGHT now. The republicans that walk by me all have pursed lips and furtive glances as their last gasp. Shocking, is it not????

Just this afternoon, I mailed the National Republican Congressional Committee a fundraising letter thinly disguised as a "survey." The last question is always "Will you send us money?" I said "No. The Republicans in Congress have not earned it."

Republicans have abandoned their (supposed) small government, low tax, low regulation, common sense foreign policy positions and have instead grown the size, cost and scope of government.

I told them to emulate Ron Paul.

Maybe Ron Paul can save the Republican Party from itself.

That's the test: If Republicans don't support Ron Paul, then the GOP doesn't stand for what it claims to stand for and small government people should switch to the Libertarian Party in droves.

The issue isn't as some conservatives say, having the "courage of your convictions" but rather having the basic conviction at all. If a person doesn't believe that America is worth standing up for as a basic conviction then it dosen't matter if they have the courage of OTHER convictions.

That's why I'm working for Barb White for Congress in MN 5th CD. "The host district of the 2008 Natl. Republican Convention"

If Reagan was a black woman, he'd pretty closely resemble Barb Davis White.
