I supported you when you went into Iraq, I still do. I believe that Iraq is just a piece in the war on terror that will be waging till long after I am gone. I voted for you not because I was enamored by your beliefs, but that they were better than Al Gore's or John Kerry's. I voted for others in the primaries, but I have supported you regardless for six years...no longer.
Your bull-headed refusal to listen to the American people on the Immigration bill, your reviving of it and your comment "See you at the signing" have left me no options but to abandon you. I will still defend you from those who make outlandish conspiritorial accusations, and from those who hope for your death, but I will no longer defend your judgement.
Below are some of the bad decisions that have precipitated my decision:
1) Presciption Drug Program-Another big government program that was unnecessary and was in no way a conservative ideal.
2) Veto Pen- Where was it when the pork laden budgets hit your desk. You were the leader you should have put a stop to these earmarks, and this reckless spending.
3) Social Security Reform-If you had half the resolve that you had with Immigration we would have reformed Social security.
4) Bipartisanship-Why did you feel the need to let Ted Kennedy write the education bill? Why did you feel the need to suck up to Democrat leadership? They have one thing in mind only...your destruction.
5) Iraq-Why have you tried to fight a politcally correct war? It didn't work in Korea, It didn't work in Viet Nam, it isn't working in Iraq.
6) Ignoring the Base-Why have you decided to totally ignore your base? The grassroots people who got you elected and you have basically told them all to go to hell. Is Illegal Immigration that important to you?
7) Destroyed the Republican Party-Why have you pursued the path of destruction of the Party? Why did you resurect a dead bill and further anger the base and create a division between the fiscal conservatives and the social conservatives?
8) Rule of Law-Why have you abandoned rule of law in favor of Illegal Immigrants? What is are country if we have no laws?
9) Illegal Immigration-I do not understand what your thinking was, you have lost all support you had with the party, and with conservatives. You have ignored common sense and tried along with the RNC elitest leaders to destroy this country.
I am sad to say that 30 years of hard work by conservatives who believed in small government and reduced spending....has been destroyed in six years. I am not swearing off all Republicans, there are still a few heroes in the senate and house, but the Republican party has moved far from the party of Reagan. Reagan once said that he didn't leave the democrat Party, that the party left him. I agree with that statement...this time it's the Republicans.
Sincerely,
A Disgusted Conservative.
