I'm posting this here because (1) there is NOT a snowballs chance in hell That Senator McCain or anyone else would see it if sent to the RNC &
(2) a head clearing rant is good for the soul.
Senator McCain,
Sir I would like to thank you for years of service & sacrifice. The emotional & physical scars that you bear would have destroyed most. The price you have paid for our freedoms can never be repaid & should never be ignored or undervalued. Thank you again.
Sir you have never met me & know nothing of my values or ideals. I'm everything Senator Obama fears.
I'm a health care professional,a lifetime NRA member,a daily worker that hates taxes & mistrusts government. I'm a registered Libertarian that is totally secure in his beliefs & accepting in the fact,that while much of the United States thinks the same way,few vote that way. Both the GOP & Democrats know that while voters such as myself win few elections we decide most elections.
Sir, both mine & my wife's vehicles wear your bumper sticker, the front lawn of our house has 2 of your signs & I have contributed money to your campaign. I did these things in spite of your record not because of it. I think that too many of your bipartisan efforts have led to sellouts rather than compromise. You have been , at least in my opinion, constitutionally wrong on campaign reform & totally wrong on immigration. What you are ,or rather were, is a livable alternative to a disaster.
Sir,the enemy of this country is not the "fringe" elements at your rallies. Your "friends" are not the mainstream media or the Democratic left in Congress. If the media says that being "negative" is not working you can guarantee that it is. If the Congressional left says the "tenor of the campaign" is un-American you can bet it isn't.
Sir, if you truly believe Senator Barack Hussein Obama is a good ,decent man who is no danger to America I will waste no more of my time or money supporting you. Senator Obama is a manipulating liar that has run a campaign of deception ,supported by an adoring entourage of paid prostitutes masquerading as journalists, where every criticism & question is branded as racism.
This man will lead our country to ruin & destruction in the name of fairness & social good. If you consider socialism acceptable, if the Constitution guarantees health care but bans handguns, if success should be punished & failure rewarded then this man is no danger. I do not agree.
Sir, you have 18 days to do the right thing. You must quit being a political coward.You must lead the charge to get the truth out . You must show & tell America what Obama's America will really be. Sarah Palin can not do it,you must. Do not let the country that you have done so much for & given so much to go down in a whimper of political correctness.
Senator McCain, I was fortunate enough to be taught in the time that the public school system taught history, both world & US, & political science not the revisionist social studies of today. A wise teacher told us that Communism came to power by the bullet, stayed in power by the fear of the police, rotted the soul of the people & eventually destroyed all.
Socialism came to power by the ballot, stayed in power with entitlements, rotted the soul of the people & eventually destroyed all. It is your nature to lead & fight the good fight. Do it & do it now. Do not let your legacy be that of the man who fought, suffered & defeated Communism only to surrender to Socialism.
