A message to John McCain

Yet another request received by this GOP member for financial aid to support the presidential bid by Sen. John McCain. Sorry, John, but as I’ve said before – too little and eight years too late! You would have received my whole-hearted support in the year 2000 – but were outsmarted by the clique from Texas. And look what a national disaster that has triggered!

I’ve said it before and will repeat it: what our party needs is a resounding and humiliating defeat in 2008. A defeat that, I hope, will bring us to our senses.

We must return to GOP principles – get rid of the “young turks” who have made our party into one which considers the “bottom line” as the beginning and end all of all decision-making.

When we return to common-sense, a concern for our fellowman and a disregard for the profits of the stock market in favor of integrity and patriotism, we will have returned our party to its real Republican principles.

Four years from now, if we have regained our party sanity, I will be proud to support the Republican candidate.

’Til then, John, as the standard bearer for the “Swift-boaters” and the “status quo” – no deal!
