[formrusmcsgt]

According to figures compiled by the California secretary of state%u2019s office, the number of registered Republicans there has dropped by roughly 207,000 since October 2006. At the end of January, California%u2019s Republican party was in the red, with $3.2 million cash on hand but more than $3.4 million in debts. California Democrats, by contrast, had $5.5 million in the bank and just $83,000 in debts.

PLENTY OF TIME AND CERTAINLY ALL IS NOT LOST- THE MEDIA ALWAYS EXAGGERATES EVRYTHING- DON''T BELIEVE THIS NONSENSE. THE REPUBLICANS WILL MAKE A COMEBACK AND WITH FLYING COLORS, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE CAPPABLE OF. NO DEMOCRAT CAN OR HAS DONE THAT IN A VERY LONG TIME. THEY ARE THE ONES THAT ARE RUSTY. WAKE UP AMERICA. THE CHOICES THAT DEMOCRATS HAVE AT THIS TIME ARE ILL EQUIPTED TO DO ANYTHING.

That tells you all you need to know....deep pockets win elections, not voters.

Vote Democrat, the best choice money can buy!

LOL If it were the Republican Party you might be right but for democrats the contributors do not have deep pockets there are just SO MANY of them... MILLIONS and MILLIONS of new voters and new supporters. But no problem, I''m sure you freaks can come up with enough mud to make up for the difference. Sieg Heil Bush

...a number of state Republican parties are struggling through troubled times, suffering from internal strife, poor fundraising, onerous debt, scandal or voting trends that are conspiring to relegate the local branches of the party to near-irrelevance.

-why would it be different from the way Republicans are running this Country in the ground with this much deficit and brokeback budget. The Salvation Army and soup counters for the republicans are an available option, to be soon. Repubeggars!

There are. Except they''''re called Newly Registered Democrats.

I was a "centrist, or moderate, Republican for many years. But, in our state, we were basically told that we were "RINOs" and not welcome in the party. That RINO lable came from one issue. Abortion. Since that time the party has expanded and includes any consideration for the rights of g a y s as subversive and also labels you a RINO.
So in the spirit of that wonderful inclusive party, I dropped my affiliation and have been an independent ever since. What a relief.

The **** although still concerned about the wheels flying off the party''s gravy train ...

decides to go after the little greaser who played Alamo and switched sides.

Calls go out to Kombat Kerry again. Kombat goes disabled.

NOTE - My last post should read, One deviant, Larry Craig, R-ID, continues to refuse to vacate his Senate seat...

Sorry about that.

Well, if the Republican party is in such dire straits throughout America, I can''t say I''m surprised or that it''s a bad thing! Considering they launched a bogus world war, have gotten tens of thousands of people killed, and dishonored the U.S. in the eyes of the rest of the world!

Here at home we got 7 1/2 years of Republican fiscal irresponsibility, corruption, and sexual deviancy! One deviant, Larry Craig, R-ID, continues to vacate his Senate seat and his fellow R''s do nothing to prod or remove him! Thus, tacitly showing that they really support his deviancy! SO, is it any wonder people are turning away fm the Republican party? I don''t think so!

Lets recap:

9/11 Terrorist attack%u2026%u2026%u2026.
The WORLD gets behind the USA to support whatever action, against those who caused this attack%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026..
Bush declares WAR on the Taliban in Afghanistan%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026..
Allies of the USA unite, and go into Afghanistan ready to kick some a**%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026
Bush declares WAR on Iraq%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026.
The world allies question this decision, and are chastised by the Bush admin for doing so%u2026%u2026%u2026.
The world allies remove support in dismay at the decisions of the Americans to attack Iraq%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026.
The US stands alone in Iraq.....................
Americans die in an unnecessary war in Iraq and the cause of the 9/11 terrorist attacks are lost in the minds of Americans........................

Can we say digress?????
