WASHINGTON - For Republicans, watching Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama fight for supremacy in fundraising is not just a spectator sport. It is a look into the future, and the GOP isn't cheering.
Obama and Clinton together raked in as much as seven times as much cash in February as John McCain, the all-but-certain Republican nominee.

If you ever decide to respect the integrity and honor of Conservatives as much as you respect Obama and Clinton, maybe the GOP will be able to raise a few bucks.
Republicans aren’t putting down payments on pardons
Why should I send in money for a race that’s already decided?
Why should I send in money to support a winner that I can only support because he’s slightly less worse (sic) than his opponent will be in November? At least, why should I send it in now?
Obama’s money is coming from the same sort of enthusiasm we used to see in the 1980’s from PTL Club members. For those people, it’s not about politics, but about a religious feeling of... something.
It would be interesting to see how many of Obama’s supporters have never been exposed to religion in anything beyond an atheist’s “religion is evil” rant. Perhaps this is the first time they’ve been presented with a preacher who gives them a message of hope?
The Dems are raising so much money because their supporters are excited about their candidates. They have two full fledged socialists running! If Republicans, i.e. Conservatives were that excited the Republicans would raise an equal amount. The GOP is blowing MILLIONS of dollars. That silence they hear is the market speaking.
Juan McAmnesty has brought this on himself.
He has continually kicked conservatives to the curb and now the GOP and the McCainiacs are calling us names and using fear-mongering and the old tired “Lessor of Two Evils” crap to try and herd the conservatives to the ballot box.
I sincerely doubt that they will be successfuly in arm-twisting the only group in the party that has principles into giving money.
Good luck with that moderates/independents/liberals/John McCain!
You might want to put some ice on that!
Wanna bet that the Democrats are spending 12 times as much as McCain is presently spending running for president? Oh, right, right, forgot, lamestream attack upon the GOP, little things like that don’t matter.
They are spending more and raising more. I for one won’t give a dime to McCain or the GOP.. I gave in the past, but that party doesn’t represent me anymore. McCain can get his money from Chinese waiters like all good Democrats.
Well, I sent $280 to Fred. Big mistake. No one left to give to. I’d donate to Ron Paul before McCain...
tag line for free use.........>
My tagline pretty much speaks for itself; I voted for Fred before he dropped out. I’m stuck with the choices of others.
I think the Republican donors will come around.
Neighbor, I hear you... I simply cannot vote for McCain, because that implies that I endorse what he stands for- open borders, and anti-free speech. Much like Rudy, and his all Gay, all Abortion, all Gun Control, all the time.
I didn't leave the GOP-- they left me, after I helped them get into power, and acted like Democrat-lite, spending like a bunch of drunk sailors, and turning a deaf ear to those who helped them get into office.
I'm not going to argue with anybody here about this ( altho I will place any flamers in the "I will be watching you" column ) but the GOP has a lot to make up for, before I'll give 'em any support, or one thin dime.
I will support individual candidates- if I think they will represent the things I've fought for, all my life...
Well John...here’s a quarter...
This is gonna be a rough year for the GOP Presidential candidate. I guess the GOP confused McCain w McGovern
In 2012.
On a lighter note, I do hope that conservatives are donating to conservative senate/congressional candidates. I know I am.
All good comments above ... my take is that there are two, and I mean ONLY two reasons to vote vote for Juan McAmnesty. Their names are B HUSSEIN Obama and Hillery Robbem CLINTON.
There is nothing we can do now about our media-selected candidate. However, we can still work to select conservatives down the ticket that will oppose his tendencies. Also, we must try to influence his VP selection. Huckleberry is not an option at that position.
