Election 2006 Watch: Contribute to GOP Senate Campaigns? The Coming Electoral Loss and What to Do About It

May 22, 2006 /

U.S. President George W. Bush stands by U.S. Speaker of the House Rep. Dennis Hastert (L) (R-IL) as he is introduced to speak at the Arie Crown Theater in Chicago May 22, 2006. Bush spoke on a wide range of topics from the formation of a new government in Iraq to domestic issues such as immigration and healthcare.

Washington Post: Bush’s Base Betrayal

If conservatives accept the idea that we must support Republicans no matter what they do, we give up our bargaining position and any chance at getting things done. We’re like a union that agrees never to strike, no matter how badly its members are treated. Sometimes it is better to stand on principle and suffer a temporary defeat. If Ford had won in 1976, it’s unlikely Reagan ever would have been president. If the elder Bush had won in 1992, it’s unlikely the Republicans would have taken control of Congress in 1994.

At the very least, conservatives must stop funding the Republican National Committee and other party groups. (Let Big Business take care of that!) Instead, conservatives should dedicate their money and volunteer efforts toward conservative groups and conservative candidates. They should redirect their anger into building a third force — not a third party, but a movement independent of any party. They should lay the groundwork for a rebirth of the conservative movement and for the 2008 campaign, when, perhaps, a new generation of conservative leaders will step forward.

Flap will take it one step further. NOT ONE DIME NOR VOTE FOR ANY GOP CANDIDATE this Fall.

The GOP does not deserve re-election.

The Senate illegal immigraton bill and the GOP sellout was the last straw. The President’s refusal to enforce our borders and to protect us Americans is BULL.

Sure, the GOP will take its lumps in November but the leadership that has sold out the conservative base of the Republican Party will be gone.

Conservatives can then reclaim the GOP and move forward.
