I stated in an earlier post that I withdrew my Republican Party affiliation. I am still a conservative, but I no longer support the Party, or President Bush. I am including a few articles that I think hits the nail on the head. I find the Republican Party revolting in their stance on this issue. They have betrayed their base and it will reflect in their pockets and in the votes they receive.

President Bush has torn the conservative coalition asunder.
Friday, June 1, 2007 12:00 a.m. EDTWhat political conservatives and on-the-ground Republicans must understand at this point is that they are not breaking with the White House on immigration. They are not resisting, fighting and thereby setting down a historical marker–“At this point the break became final.” That’s not what’s happening. What conservatives and Republicans must recognize is that the White House has broken with them. What President Bush is doing, and has been doing for some time, is sundering a great political coalition. This is sad, and it holds implications not only for one political party but for the American future.
RNC Outsources Phone Solicitation to DNC, Apparently
Well, either that, or the WSJ editorial board is manning the phones.
You heard yesterday that the RNC canned its in-house phone bank employees, partly due to an estimated 40% drop in small donations. Whoever they outsourced the job to is not gonna get those numbers back up.
I happened to be at my friend Emily Dunham’s house when the RNC called to see “at what level she was comfortable renewing her contribution.” It went a little something like this.
I am truly disappointed in President Bush. And to think I voted for him twice. You have betrayed this country Mr. President. Maybe the liberals were right, you are an idiot.
