After witnessing the latest spinless Republican sell out to the tranzi left, and receiving a letter from the RNC begging for new war funds, a friend was moved to action and composed the following letter:
Dear Republican National Committee
cc: Senator Chambliss, Senator Isaakson, Local Republicans, President George W. Bush
Sirs,
Imagine the emotions that would run through a person who picks the attached fundraising letter out of his mailbox ON THE SAME DAY that President Bush and other so-called conservative Republicans in the Senate so cynically SOLD OUT their base and the rest of the country to reward illegal aliens for their criminal activities.
You breathlessly proclaim that your current crop of Republicans in government is the only thing between us and the unmitigated disaster of Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton, etc.
Really?
From where I sit, there is precious little difference. The Republican Party’s spinelessness has done NOTHING to head off a ballooning federal government, uncontrolled spending, pandering entitlements, a halfhearted War on Terror, and now this – a complete refusal to enforce our nation’s borders.
With all of this in mind, I will promise you the following:
• I will be changing my political affiliation to “Independent”.
• I will happily promise my time and money to conservative or libertarian candidates dedicated to the defeat any of the Republican Senator or Congressperson who eventually vote for this amnesty. This includes Senators Chambliss and Isaakson who gleefully posed with none other than Ted Kennedy in celebration of their sellout.
• The RNC will receive not one thin dime from me until you’ve exhibited some spine and a track record that you will produce candidates that are trustworthy.
This latest “amnesty” business is just another in a long line of episodes that have greatly upset your base voters. I suggest you find a way to look beyond the cynical calculus of “bipartisan” Beltway politics and do the right thing for the people that support you as well as the country’s future.
Fuck You,
Steve the x-man.
I concur!

We got two conservative Supreme Court Justices and the often-mediocre prosecution of a war that was, ultimately, unavoidable.
I can’t say I regret voting for George W., inasmuch as I don’t think two terms of Algore would have gotten even that, and the other options still seem to be little more than a protest vote. Particularly when there are very few viable options on a strong immigration stance that aren’t even worse than the Republicans. In any case, I haven’t been willing to give any cash to the RNC since 2004/2005. Probably time to renew my Heritage membership, though, and write a strongly-worded letter to McConnell’s office.
Bah. I can’t threaten to take away my R because it’s not there in the first place. But generally I vote R more than D, but in these days it’s getting harder and harder to tell why.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m conservative with a strong libertarian streak. I WANT true conservatives in office. But just because someone has an ‘R’ by their name doesn’t mean squat these days.
Agreed.
The only way to change this is to get some good people into the primary elections. The culprits have to be removed there and challengers supported in elections. It is not necessary (although it would be highly satisfying), to defeat them all. A few notable removals should be sufficient for an “old time revival”. Every two years one third of these miscreants come up for election,if $50. per person were raised from a million donors through blogs, some of these RINO’S should be able to be removed.
When Clinton was Pres. I changed parties from D to R, but now I’m totally disgusted with the whole bunch. Why don’t we just give the USA to Mexico and watch them screw it up. If I could, I’d move to Canada. I’m 100% sick of the USA political process. We can no longer take pride in being Americans.
Changing to Independent?
Sounds like you’re looking for a Third Way.
Who knew that Clinton has such influence on you? ;)
You know those chain emails that get passed around from time to time, and eventually wind up being attributed to someone who didn’t actually say them?
I personally know the guy who wrote this–worked for him for almost 18 months. When he takes his citizenship oath this summer, he’s changing his name to Sam Adams.

I am an immigrant.
I am a legal immigrant.
I hope to, very soon, pending the usual red tape, become an American Citizen. That will be one of the happiest days of my life.
An American. Not an Armenian-American or an African-American or a Hispanic American, but an American American. I will have roots that I will honor and respect, but I will be an American.
I have spent my time learning English to the the point that natural-born American’s ask me about grammar and spelling. I could be mistaken for a native New Yorker when I talk fast, or a Midwesterner (albeit a funny looking one) when I’m in a slower frame of mind. I listen to Country Music, love apple pie (a la mode) and was Saved by the Blood of Christ a few years ago. I even had a Chinese manager with an accent thicker than molasses on a cold morning refuse to believe I wasn’t raised in this country because of my lack of accent.
I have spent time and money and worked with an immigration lawyer (just to make sure my feeble mind can keep up with the changing, twisty regulations) to ensure I stayed legal and followed the process to become a legal American Citizen .
So you’ll excuse me if I’m a little pissed at the headlines coming out of DC on “Immigration Reform”. While your elected politicians are busy hailing important steps and last best chances there’s one thing you, the American Citizen, needs to know – 12 million immigrants, with the snappy signing of a bill, become legal. 12 million criminals – that’s what one calls people who broke the law getting into and staying in this country, much less not paying their taxes – are granted, in effect, amnesty for breaking the law.
If you ask me, there’s not many American Citizen’s up in DC.
So, lend me your ears, my soon to be fellow, American Citizen’s. Pick a day this week or next, any day, get off your asses and contact your local, state and federal representatives. If you voted for them they owe you their ears. If you didn’t vote shame, shame, shame on you- now do something about it. Tell them what you feel. If you agree, well fine, we can still agree and be brotherly. If you disagree, then speak up. Whatever you do, be neighbourly to all your neighbours, legal or illegal they’re still red-blooded humans with hearts and minds just like you. But do remind your politicians there’s laws that already exist that need enforcing.
Just in case you couldn’t tell … I don’t agree.
Now go tell a few of your friends. Let’s get the word around. Let’s remind the politicians American Citizen’s elect what “Don’t Tread on Me” means.
Citizenship. Legally. Or not at all.
