Republicans Support Hillary For President
The Captain's Quarters has a story up on the fall off in small donations at Republican National Headquarters. The Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks political donations to all parties and affiliated committees, confirms that the Republicans have a fundraising problem. The smaller donors with whom the RNC's call center interfaced have decreased their contributions considerably, and overall income has dropped significantly. The RNC has done better than the Congressional committees, but only because the RNC also focuses on big donors through other means, such as fundraising events.From what I gather Hillary and her clones have taken over the Republican call center duties. Hillary Calling.However, if it sends the Republicans a message it will be worth it. The Republican Party is dead. Circular firing squad. I'm sorry I signed up with such a bunch of incompetents. Unfortunately, I only have the Libertarians to fall back on. Cross Posted at Power and Control and at The Astute Bloggers posted by Simon on 06.01.07 at 11:15 AM

You can't blame the base for this. Bush chose to stick his finger in their eye with this shamnesty nonsense. There is a total disregard at the top levels of the Republican Party for how actual Republicans feel about this issue. If the GOP doesn't like its voters, that's really too bad. Daryl Herbert · June 2, 2007 11:08 PM Daryl, I see you have given up on bad Republicans and thus defacto support worse Democrats. Exactly the point of my piece. M. Simon · June 3, 2007 09:03 AM M Simon, I completely understand your point, but what would you have the people do? Imagine a ship is sinking. The Captain has ordered the crew to go drill some holes in the bottom of the boat to let the water back out (!), and there's a mutiny by one portion of the crew... they want to use explosives to blow the bottom of the boat open (!!!!!). So, you're saying we should support the Captain, since that's less bad? BOTH options involve the ship sinking! Neither is really any worse than the other. We need a different option. Supporting the Captain is no better than supporting mutiny; the results are the same. Deoxy · June 5, 2007 12:43 PM I'd support the Captain and man the pumps until I could get the crew under control. I may be able to save the ship with the drillers hard at work. I have no chance if the guys with explosives set off their charge. At least the odds are better with the drillers. Destroying the country in order to save it is not my idea of a good time. A lot of innocent passengers will get killed. M. Simon · June 5, 2007 01:00 PM Post a comment

Never signed on to any party as I can't seem to find a Nationalist one around, anyplace. So, as all the rights are reserved for the People and the States, save those few granted to government, I invented my own party so that I could, at least, get a set-up I could agree with and place down where I stand. I mean if Americans can form their own religious sect of one person, which was, apparently, pretty rampant throughout the 19th century, then politics looks like a similarly ripe field for same today.
Having to put those things together has helped no end in actually giving rigor to my thoughts and a clearer expression of them... mind you folks want to read *in* the two party bias, but that can't be helped as it is pounded home that it really is 'the best of all possible systems'. So lovely to have a spectrum of thought available and you are limited to exactly two wavelengths. Can't say that I am too impressed with the Zero Party State that resulted from it, either.
But then I do have strange thoughts.
