WASHINGTON -- During the past summer, a female acquaintance of mine in her 70s who had been a faithful Republican during her long life was solicited by a GOP cold caller as a previous contributor to the party. Not this time. She informed the fundraiser that President Bush's position on immigration was the last straw. She would not give the Republicans another dime -- not now, maybe never. So, she told him, stop calling me! I did the exact same thing! I have been called at least twice in the past six months, once just last week, asking for donations. I told them "not another penny from me until I see some serious changes made" and that I felt betrayed by the Immigration bill and if somebody like McCain were nominated, the party will have lost me for ever. My intent as the lady above is to put pressure on the Republican party to respect it's base. Letting them get a little nervous about where their support is going to come from will be a healthy thing. ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
