I think Hillary has no chance of winning. Despite the 527 media and the cash raised, once Americans see how shrill, disrespectful, rude, and fake she is, she’s toast. Mitt, Fred, Rudy, any of those guys will mop the floor with her. Hillary is simply unelectable. However I do hope the Dems nominate her - it’ll be like McGovern in 1972.
I, for one, am not just holding Bush responsible. They have pi$$ed off many of the conservative base like me, and we are holding back on our money until they come up with a decent front-runner and start dancing again with “those of us what brung em to the dance.”
If those two things happen, the floodgates of money will swing wide open early next year. But they had better straighten up fast or we might as well elect the Rats, because, as George Wallace put it, “there hasn’t been a dime’s worth of difference” between the Rats and Pubbies lately.
Thats how I see it playing out as well.
This Club For Growth thing, that only a handful have heard of . . . where have they filed the necessary forms showing professional audit of their books and publishing what % of money is consumed by “administrative costs”? I don’t care what the % is (though it does have to be competitive with other alternatives), but it is certainly imperative that it be published in major media and scrutinized to ensure it is not a scam.
The remarks made about the base, the name calling, the attack on guys like Limbaugh, the praise for illegals as being the backbone of America and such nonsense opened the eyes of the blind.
To go after talk radio was amazing to me. Talk radio got half these bums elected. Talk radio is the vehicle with which most of the opposition to the Socialist liberal agenda is fought.
The trust factor is gone from the base of the GOP. You can't just scream about Hillary or gay marriage or flatter us with what a good Christian you are. the GOP is in for a purging, but thats good. If you plant a tree you have to prune the dead and rotten branches out but the tree gets stronger, grows straighter and is healthier.
Democrats represent the "poor, working class", etc.

This is what happens when you betray the principles you were elected to uphold.
Where is our Social Security and Tax reform we were promised?
Where is Immigration reform?
Where are real results in the Middle East?
Where are the elimination of unnecessary and unconstitutional government departments? Why are Clinton era programs like Americorp still being funded?
Unfortunately, Bush and the Republican Congress have squandered their chances to change the direction of the country through bickering, infighting, and stupidity. The drying up of the coffers is the ultimate result.
I still give to Republicans, but I give to local Republican candidates and to my local County Republican Party. The County parties don’t receive any money from the RNC and very little from the state Republican Party, yet we are still expected to have an office, office supplies, phones for phone banks, etc. I highly recommend donating your money to your local group. We need to build up our bench for the future.
If she wins the same states Kerry won and also takes Ohio (a strong probability right now), she's in. Which 2004 Kerry states are going to flip back to the Republican column simply because Hillary sounds shrill, disrespectful, rude and fake? She's a Democrat - she represents their government checks.
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, or even California might on the other hand flip Republican if Giuliani manages to overcome conservative objections and gain the nomination. But I don't see any of the other Republican candidates taking back any Kerry states at all. Romney isn't going to win Massachusetts. Thompson isn't going to win any Kerry states - his Hollywood presence won't deliver California, for example - the best he could do is hold the South and in particular Florida. Hunter would lose in his home state of California by at least 20 points.
And all of this is before factoring in the the epic levels of pro-Democrat vote fraud which we will surely see in 2008.
Hillary hasn't paid a price for her abrasiveness in the last fifteen years - the MSM certainly isn't going to stop minimizing it now.
The republican campaign committees that insist on doling out cash to RINO’s may as well shut down. The GOP base and supporters are no longer willing to go with a program that calls for them to support such candidates.
Hunter not a nut case.
Past leaders include Stephen Moore and Pat Toomey.

The Club for Growth opposed amnesty and securing the borders?
Nice guys come in last. Playing fair and making nice with Liberals loses you elections. Use the last election as an example. The conservative base has to have leaders at the top of the Party or we’re doomed. Spineless, gutless moderates and RINO’s are the root cause of why we are where we are today. Had the leadership informed the American people about the lies, distortions, and tricks of the Left, we wouldn’t be having this conversation today. When your enemy fights you from the gutter, you climb in and give them one hell of a fight back. Instead, the “make nice, civil” Republicans are destroying the Party and will, ultimately, allow our country to be destroyed by the Leftist morons who are anti-America, anti-military, traitors. I say to the leadership and to the base, wake up to reality and start fighting for what you believe in. Our brave troops are doing so in Iraq and Afganistan; the least you can do is fight the good fight here. Both are equally as important.
SECOND THAT!!!
Maybe the DIM’s think the election is this November?
BUT, the MSM has always said that raising lots of money by the GOP was an EVIL thing??
And now its good for the DNC?
