Why should I donate any of my hard-earned money to Republican campaigns when the "Republican" selected to represent the party in the 2008 Presidential Election seems to have ruled out any real opposition to the Democrat Party's nominee, Barack Hussein Obama?

You have consistently refused to take on Senator Obama on matters of character, ideology, and you have barely scratched the surface of the debate on experience - complicating matters by choosing Sarah Palin (even though I think she's terrific) - a relatively inexperienced running mate. In fact, the selection of Palin seems to have been calculated simply to shut up and drag back into line the conservative base of the party - who had been threatening to bolt either to the Libertarian or Constitution Party candidates. In other words, Sir, you patronized us.

You have particularly refused to identify and pursue Senator Obama on his ties to Marxist and Communist individuals and ideologies - which are in direct conflict with the words and meaning of the United States Constitution. Those ties are no longer a matter of debate. They are concrete - and Senator Obama has never denied them.

You have consistently followed the flawed logic of former Vice President Gore in his "An Inconvenient Truth" documentary by conceding man-made global climate change when the true causes are not known - and when solar influence has been inappropriately discounted by the "consensus" of scientists who support Gore's views. You have even conceded the need to risk our national economy to address those issues by pursuing "Cap and Trade" policies. This, sir, is an abandonment of the conservative principles you were elected to support.

Barack Obama's ability to capture the imagination of the American People lies in his ability to evoke a vision - however wrong and undesireable for the future of the country - a vision of what he sees in the American future. YOU have consistently REFUSED to paint a picture the American People can see with you. We lost control in Congress in 2006 because all we ran on - instead of "that shining city on the hill" Reagan inspired us with - was the threat of Nancy Pelosi in the Speaker's office. You are running the 2008 Presidential race the same way - and WE ARE LOSING BECAUSE OF IT!

If your continued lack of OFFENSE in this race results in a landslide Obama victory, you will be - in conjunction with the imbecilic recent performance of President Bush - responsible for the destruction of the Republican Party You will be at least partially responsible for the rise of Marxism to the level of National Government in the United States - a prediction Nikita Khruschev made before you spent time in that Hanoi prison camp.

We need you to be a strong leader in this race - to PROVE you leadership qualifications. While we respect your time in the military - it doesn't count now! We don't need empty "maverick" rhetoric - we don't need false "my friends" patronism. We need you to be a LEADER. We want our children to grow up in America, not AMERIKA. WE NEED LEADERSHIP!
