It’s amazing to see such willful denial of the obvious.

they must have bad mailing lists because they keep mailing crap to me and there is no way in hell I’m giving a penny to the GOP...ever again. I’ll support conservative candidates when they run but that’s it. I hope to see a real third party movement after this fall’s elections.

I am doing a project for a group I belong to and one of the items is to check out political donations to candidates. Our Senate candidates are in great shape as people like all of us have been donating direct to the candidates not to the NRSC, NRCC, and RNC. That’s the difference.

I say continue to donate to direct to good Republican candidates and skip the NRSC, NRCC, and RNC.

For years I have been touting the NRSC, NRCC, and RNC but not this year. As far as I am concerned they are mostly worthless especially the NRCC.

REMEMBER — Donate DIRECT to CANDIDATES! We can help good candidates win.

He said the Republican Party never suffered a loss in small donors, only a shrinkage in the net amount of money raised

LOL... So the Republicans are receiving plenty of Bush Pesos in the Nada denomination, but they're just not worth anything.

I have a friend who gets GOP calls. He told them he isn’t sending a dime until they put a conservative on the ticket, but he would hold his nose and vote for McCain.
The telemarketer said, “you know we’ve heard that quite often.”

That is actually the National Republican Senatorial Committee, who the guy quoted in the article works for.

The RNC is 202-863-8500. They need to hear too.

"REMEMBER — Donate DIRECT to CANDIDATES! We can help good candidates win."

Agree completely. I stopped donating to the RNC, NRCC and NRSC two years ago. Our donations are now targeted to verified conservative candidates across the country. All begging letters from Big Tent GOP RINO Central, as well as the other two, are returned unopened with REFUSED in big black letter across the front of the envelope, and new postage affixed when necessary (bulk mailings and so forth).

I understand that general donations to RNC, NRCC and NRSC have been reduced to a dribble compared to years past. In other words, they are now getting much closer to what they're worth--nothing.

I agree, on all counts. As long as Republicans continue to believe that the 06 elections were about voters wanting to go moderate so they elected democrats, the DO NOT GET IT! They lost because they abandoned their conservative roots, they became tax and spend, liberal RINO’s. Period.

I received a letter from the McCain campaign the other day requesting a contribution with a picture of John and Cindy enclosed. I sent the pledge form back with this message:

NO AMNESTY!

DRILL HERE! DRILL NOW!

P.S. My birds LOVE the photo! It really brightens up their cage.

Sure. It’s the mailing lists. Yeah. Right. Uh-huh.

They sure like hanging out there on the old Egyptian river, don’t they?

We’ve had literally DOZENS of calls and mailings. Most of the mail goes in the trash. Once in a while, we write informative explanations for our lack of donations and send them back, sans postage. The calls receive lectures on the lack of cojones their candidates have been displaying (one got particularly heated!).

Until Republicans on the ticket grow a spine, they will not receive a single penny. While we will vote Republican in the fall, it is simply to mitigate the liberal bent we are being offered.
