I searched and couldn't find any mention of Viguerie's scathing criticism of Bush and the GOP congress yesterday. I've excerpted a few quotes here, not really much to add but I think this is worth notice. Let me know if this is a repeat and I'll be happy to delete.
From DM (Direct Marketing) News
`Moral Majority' cofounder, chairman of the American Target Advertising agency and conservative direct marketer Richard A. Viguerie is upset again with President Bush and the current Republican Congressional leadership...
A new online poll conducted by Mr. Viguerie's site at www.conservativehq.com claims that 77 percent of conservative activists and donors are "either seriously disappointed with Republican Congressional leaders or want them replaced."
Well all I can say is, "About time, you dopes!"
The complete results are available on:

The survey, which polled 1,028 conservative activists and donors, also shows that 54 percent of conservatives feel so abandoned by the president and the Republican Congressional leadership that they plan to reduce their contributions and grassroots work for GOP candidates this year....
"Conservatives have a history of staying home when their Republican leaders betray them and that's what this poll shows. That's more frustration with the Republican leaders now than I've experienced in my whole political life. Senate campaign contributions are way off. I know just about every conservative organization is facing a fall-off in support. People are just discouraged and they say why support Republicans if they're going to govern like Democrats?
"Karl Rove and George Bush, when they came to the White House, they seemed to have a one-word strategy for governing and re-election: bribery. In other words, if you have votes, we have the money, let's talk.
