Republicans losing support.

Republicans are really shooting themselves in the foot with the immigration issue. It seems clear that conservatives want border security, period. The amnesty, guest worker program and earmarks of the huge immigration bill make it a poison pill to swallow.

Now conservatives are responding with their pocketbooks. The Washington Times reported today that the RNC is losing its donor base.

"Faced with an estimated 40 percent fall-off in small-donor contributions and aging phone-bank equipment that the RNC said would cost too much to update, Anne Hathaway, the committee's chief of staff, summoned the solicitations staff last week and told them they were out of work, effective immediately, the fired staffers told The Times."

Republican leaders need to take note that they will lose support if they continue to promote this liberal immigration bill.
