Bush*s Immigration Plan Hurts Re-Election War Chest (Moonie Times)

[kskiska]

President Bush's immigration initiative has angered conservative Republicans so much that some are refusing to donate to his re-election campaign, according to a Bush fund-raiser in Georgia.

Phil Kent, a member of the host committee for a Bush fund-raiser in Atlanta yesterday, said he was told by several would-be donors that they would not attend the $2,000-per-person event because of the president's announcement last week on immigration reform.

"I was soliciting checks right after the announcement, and I lost two checks from people who had wanted to come, but wouldn't," Mr. Kent said. "They specifically said this is just rewarding lawbreakers.

"That was the constant theme," he added. "And even among some people who wrote the checks, there's grumbling."

Mr. Bush's initiative would allow millions of illegal aliens to remain in the United States as guest workers if they have jobs. The immigrants eventually could apply for permanent legal residence.

1. Well, Well. Looks like Bush put himself between a rock

and a hard place. Going to be fun to see how Karl plays this.

2. I don't think he's going to go broke.

But grumbling is always good.

3. I wonder... I wonder...

If they're mad enough not to donate, are they mad enough to stay home on election day? Or better yet, are they mad enough to maybe put in a third party "true conservative" candidate?

7. Some conservatives are trying

to put together a petition to draft Tom Tancredo (Rep-Col) for President.

I doubt anything will come of it, but polls consistently show a majority of Americans against Bush's plan.

5. I just love it when these conservative rich guys

Get all moral and righteous, when they probably spend most of their time trying to screw their employees and customers.
