*** Below is a letter I wrote the day President George W. Bush after the biggest
defeat of Republicans in several years, decided to put "Amnesty" Mel in charge of the RNC. Has anyone asked George, "What
the Heck were you thinking?"
Insomuch as we conservative Republicans handed over control of Congress 12 years ago to a freshman
party of conservatives with promises of conservative values, principles and actions. And insomuch as we conservative Republicans
six years later handed control of the White House to someone promising the same, and later again handed the Senate to the
same party with promises again of conservative core values we expected more.
What we got was a No Child Left Behind Act authored by the most liberal senator in the
history of the 20th century. What we got was more disconcerting as this President refused to use his constitutionally given
power to veto any bill or any of the excess pork barrel spending that has passed through Congress.
We voted for a President that promised to finish the war that we started to fight and destroy
the enemy overseas so that we aren’t fighting them here. What we got was a politically correct war in which our soldiers
were not allowed to fire upon those firing on them if those doing so were in a Mosque, school or hospital building. Graveyards
were apparently off limits too.
We were promised conservative pro-life judges being appointed to key positions in our liberally
inundated court system. What we got was an attempt by our President to appoint Harriet Myers, someone who was extremely well
liked by a number of liberal senators and politicians, turns out, she was pro-choice. If it weren’t for the backlash
created by those of us who have been waiting patiently through 12 years of a Bush Senior and Clinton appointee years for a
good conservative nominee, then it would be her on the Supreme Court instead of the one we got.
What we got was a Republican Senate with a majority and with the constitutional authority
to appoint these honest good judges like Janice Rogers-Brown, which when faced with the constitutionally given option of giving
these judges an up or down vote instead caved to the liberal Democrat blocking tactics which were without precedent in this
country’s history. What we got were the McCain 12 who allowed these cowardly Republicans to get away with not taking
a stand. These appointments were stalled through the last four years without the elected majority simply calling for what
would have been called for with a Democrat majority an up or down vote.
We voted for a President who promised security for our country.
What we got was a President that referred to the Minutemen, a group dedicated to the protection of our country’s
borders from the hordes of illegal immigrants, as “vigilantes”.
What we got was a Senate, with efforts headed by Mel Martinez that introduced a bill, (that has now passed
to the House of Representatives), that would give amnesty to millions of illegals now here, in addition to giving them the
option to bring in their close relatives from Mexico when they get the amnesty.
Now the recent move of the Republicans after their devastating loss to the Democrats to name Mel Martinez
the new head of the RNC has clearly demonstrated to us, the conservative voters, that the Republican party just does not get
it. They were elected by us to promote conservative values and principles and not only refused to do so, but have spent our
money like drunken sailors in Bangkok, (or, as was said recently, like John Edwards in a Beauty Shop) refused to do what was
necessary about illegal immigration, or stand up as a majority against the stalling tactics of the Democrats in appointing
the conservative judges we wanted.
John McCain is now saying “all the right things” to position himself as the next Republican
nominee, either him or Rudy Guilliani. McCain, author of the First Amendment killing campaign finance reform bill, creator
of the Cowardly compromise on the judicial appointments, proponent of the Terrorist Rights “anti-torture” bill,
and all around "media-whore" is now attempting to make the Right believe that he is their guy.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
So what do we do then? Do we continue to strive to change the Republican party? Do we form
a new party for the masses of Conservatives who are tired of being stabbed in the back by Mel, George W., and John? What good
does voting for the lesser of two evils do for you when that is all they ever offer? You vote Republican? Why?
Voting for security?
With 20 million illegals in our country and more pouring in daily, all we have gotten from
the Republicans is lip service. (400,000 more illegals a year in Mel's Amnesty Plan in addition to the 20 million illegals
here now.)
Voting for pro-life?
McCain said that the overturning of Roe v. Wade would be “dangerous” to women.
And now he's all of a sudden against it? Rudy has stated numerous times that he is Pro-Choice. Romney is a recent 'convert'
to the pro-life movement, national politics will do that for you.
Voting for the support of the war against Islamo-fascism?
This President refuses to take the steps necessary to de-PC this war and eliminate the enemy
in total. This President bends over butt-backwards to appease the Muslim community giving a medal of honor to Muhammed Ali,
a draft dodger in the Vietnam War, refusing to allow soldiers to defend themselves against those shooting from Mosques. Refusing
to use the firepower that is necessary to STOP these maniacs where they are.
Voting against Eminent Domain Supreme Court ruling?
What have they done? What have the Republicans done to stop this clearly anti-Constitutional
trend toward stripping property owners of their rights on the basis of creating more tax revenue?
Nothing.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
Fire McCain, Fire Martinez, fire all those who have chosen to abandon the principles of
conservatism we elected them for. There needs to be created the “Reagan Party” or the “Eisenhower”
“Lincoln” or simply a return to basic conservative values because obviously we aren’t getting it from them.
But I have a plan. Check out the My Plan section.
I am not a lawyer, a politician, nor am I desirous of a career in Washington. But I will
do whatever I need to do to make sure that the Republicans like Martinez, McCain and others never get elected again. They
need to get the picture and as long as Political Correctness governs, our country will continue to go downhill.
Issues
that need to be Addressed:
1. Close our Border, NOW! – build a wall, use the National Guard, use the Minutemen
but close our border to the tide of illegal immigration.
2. Reverse the Flow – (revised - imprison company owners for hiring illegal immigrants
first offense, fine them $50,000 with 30 days in jail, double the penalty and jailtime for each subsequent offense.)
3. Allow our Military to Destroy our Enemies – stop the PC garbage and enable our
intelligence to use the techniques that work to get information and kill the bad guys.
4. Stop taxing success – keep taxes low, keep government out of our lives as much
as possible.
5. Stop political games – payoffs, career politicians, and a simple struggle for
power between two behemoth parties has reduced our country to where we are today.
6. Return to conservative Judeo-Christian values that founded this country. Unabashedly,
unashamedly and with haste.
7. Simply not caring what people think about me – McCain has sold his soul to get
press time opposing reasonable measures to protect this country from harm by helping a group of people who are more concerned
over the rights of terrorists than they are over innocent Americans getting killed. I don’t care what the media thinks
about what I believe, I don’t care if my words offend Muslim communities, I don’t care because I sincerely believe
what I believe and am not ashamed to stand up for it.
That’s it.
