In my small slice of the Republican Party (Republican Women of Williamson County), most of the women are very angry about the “Immigration” reform bill (s.1348). They are tired of the Republican National Party promoting what we consider to be RINO’s. Most of us stopped donating to “The Party” and only donate to the candidate. But I do believe we are the face of the Republican base who used to be the stalwart of under $50 donation support for Republicans and I might say the grunts on the ground for the Republican Party around election time.
From The Washington Times
we read about the RNC firing or eliminating it’s phone banks
attributing the reason to obsolete phone bank equipment. But the
staffers cite different reasons:
Faced with an estimated 40 percent fall-off in small-donor contributions and aging phone-bank equipment that the RNC said would cost too much to update, Anne Hathaway, the committee’s chief of staff, summoned the solicitations staff last week and told them they were out of work, effective immediately, the fired staffers told The Times.
snip…There has been a sharp decline in contributions from RNC phone solicitations, another fired staffer said, reporting that many former donors flatly refuse to give more money to the national party if Mr. Bush and the Senate Republicans insist on supporting what these angry contributors call “amnesty” for illegal aliens.
“Everyone donor in 50 states we reached has been angry, especially in the last month and a half, and for 99 percent of them immigration is the No. 1 issue,” said the former employee.
Course the RNC states there is no decline in donations, but doesn’t say if that’s with the small dollar donors! Could be just another twist of words.

I had words with the Republican National Committee and the Missouri Republican Party over this same issue. The discussion of the Border Guards who were incarcerated for doing their job came up and both the National and State parties said the guards deserved jail. The woman phone from the MO Republican party actually got belligerent, saying these men (the border guards) were liars and criminals who deserved prison and the drug runner was an innocent victim. I said "Excuse Me" and she hung up on me. Neither the National or State party will get another penny from me. I'm doing like you and giving to individual candidates who have my beliefs and convictions. Right now I'm saving my pennies for Fred Thompson.

A couple things that concern me about Mitt are:
1. He's changed his stance on a few things, like gun control for one.
2. Their is no way on God's Green Earth you're going to be elected governor in Mass if you're conservative.
3. The same people that continually elect Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, and Barney Frank elected him governor...see reason 2.
