"Bush's immigration plan hurts re-election war chest"
From this:
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..."
A little grumbling here, a few lost contributions there, and pretty soon the newly-unemployed Rove and Ridge might be blamed for what was previously known as the Bush/Fox Amnesty.
