Richard A. Viquerie, a conservative fundraiser from Manassas, Virginia has been running on online poll to judge the reasons for demise of many national republicans during the 2006 election season. Mr. Viquere is the author of Conservatives Betrayed: How George W. Bush and Other Big government Republicans Hijacked the Conservative Cause. Richard A. Viquerie's website is located at http://www.conservativesbetrayed.com/ The top ten reasons for the failure of national Republicans in Mr. Viquere's poll are:
- Conservative leaders who kept silent when the GOP became the party of Big Government
- Illegal corruption, such as Mark Foley, Robert Ney, and Jack Abramoff
- Legal corruption, such as spending on special interest groups to “buy” their votes, including earmarks
- Mainstream media that may have influenced the voters to throw out the Republicans
- President George W. Bush
- Conservative media that kept silent while the GOP became the party of Big Government
- Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska), former President ProTempore-Senate /$223 m Bridge to Nowhere
- Blunders and misstatements by Republican candidates
- Former Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN)
- Congressman Dennis Hastert (R-IL), former Speaker of the House
