Well, if this is their strategy, and I think it has trickled down to the state level as well, then they deserve what they don't get.Quite frankly, the RNC should have seen this coming. That they didn't shows that the leadership is out of touch with the base. And it is. Let's check who is in favor of this bill: President Bush - check!; Sen Martinez, head of RNC - check!; Mike Duncan, also head of the RNC - uhh...I'm not so sure:
“We have to know who’s within the borders of the United States, and that's the first priority in all of this, is to control our border and don't let terrorist in,” commented Duncan....wish the reporter had asked the direct question...
Anyway...
It appears that the RNC hasn't learned its lesson yet... Just like the Ohio GOP can't get away with asking for donations to fight against Hillary Obama, the RNC can't ignore their problems either. The base absolutaly loathes that approach...and rightfully so.
