An Open Letter to All Republican Voters:
We are facing the most important election of modern times…
For the future of our children and our country, we cannot afford to lose!
Once again there is no Ronald Reagan in this race, we must face that fact.
We must also face the fact that none of our Republican leaders are Great Communicators, most are corrupt and inept nitwits, or they wouldn’t have lost both Houses of Congress in the last election. We should take no instruction from the party establishment.
In fact, we are faced with a large slate, crowded with professional politicians, nearly any one of which would still be much preferable to ‘Billary’ or “Osama Obama”.
However, every one also has some seriously fatal flaw that precludes me from wholeheartedly supporting them.
So, for the sake of our country and our children, let’s lose the emotion and be pragmatic.
Who could form a Republican ticket that is the most electable, nation-wide?
Fact: Historically, the American People do not willingly elect Senators!
The couple of times it has happened, those elections were highly tainted with fraud.
The Founding Fathers designed the Senate for elder statesmen, having no further political aspirations, to compromise their principles with each other in order to achieve a minimum 60% consensus to accomplish anything for the good of the Nation.
Thus, the longer one is a Senator, the more compromised votes he has made, and the more votes everyone can find to distrust him over.
In a free and fair election, we are bound to win against any of the Democrats, all Senators, unless we make the same mistake, and nominate a Senator, also.
In which case, the man who has been most compromised, i.e., in the Senate the longest, will most definitely lose.
So, both John McCain and Fred Thompson are out from the start, even if they weren’t divorced cheaters, and McCain is a proven, consistent traitor to our conservative cause, and his fellow POW’s in the “Hanoi Hilton”.
I do not wish to denigrate McCain’s military service, none of us can say for sure that we could have resisted the same torture, but he is not a “hero”, the NVA tortured all prisoners, but they found the weakness in John McCain.
Time and again, when the goin’ gets tough, McCain gets goin’ over to the other side!
Fact: Historically, the American People do not elect divorcees, or known cheaters!
Ronald Reagan was the only divorced man America has ever elected (I believe, only because Jane Wyman left him for political reasons and he wasn’t a cheater), and none of these characters are the Great Communicator.
A very wise man once told me, “Never do business with a man who cheats on his wife; if he lies to his best friend on this Earth, there is no one he will not lie to!
The most devout Christian nation on Earth, Americans love to vote for a man who still loves and honors “the wife of his youth”. We love a happy ending, and to see a life-long happily-married couple is the ultimate happy ending!
Character does matter to us.
That narrows the field to four: Huckabee, Hunter, Paul, and Romney.
Fact: The American People do not elect people with strange names.
Every President freely and fairly elected had an English, or Scotch/Irish, name, with the sole exception of General Eisenhower, whose German name was slightly Anglicized, and who was the ultimate war hero, on a par with General George Washington.
Italian names are the kiss of death, due to subconscious association with the Mafia.
All of these remaining four have English names, though most would consider Huckabee to be a little strange, and some also find it a little strange for people to have two first names, like Ron Paul, though either is marketable.
In today’s “War on Terror”, Duncan Hunter definitely has the most marketable name, though Mitt Romney is also marketable.
Fact: American Women will decide who will be elected as our President.
Women are the majority of the electorate, and the influential heads of more families.
Most women do not vote on logic, just emotion. They vote for security for their children, but they judge that on looks.
Most women do not trust another woman to provide that security for their children, as they know she will have their same bias toward her own kids, but they expect it of a man.
The most desirable man, and President, to a woman’s eye, is young, tall, rich, handsome, and faithful to his mate; a full head of dark hair shows his youth, virility and vitality.
Mitt Romney wins this one, hands down!
Fact: Americans vote their pocketbook! Always have, always will!
Most Americans trust a business man, more than a professional politician, to hold their purse strings. Businessmen and fiscal conservatives love Romney.
We should all appreciate his managerial talents, and his message for Michigan that we do not have to accept the loss of our high paying industrial jobs, in favor of McCain’s idea that we can re-educate half our workers to flip hamburgers for the other half.
Only Duncan Hunter is stronger on rebuilding American industry than Mitt Romney.
If Duncan Hunter was a supporter of the Flat Tax, instead of the Fair Tax, I would walk on hot coals to carry his banner, nearly the same exact problem with Mike Huckabee.
If Ron Paul would stop making wild claims about thinking we can put the genie back in the bottle in Iraq, I would walk on those coals to the ends of the Earth for him.
I know that our nitwit Republican leadership is trying to foist either McCain, or Giuliani, upon us, but we must resist.
We have proven here in Iowa that we, the people, still own the process.
We nominated the man who could not afford to buy us, but, we must not hate the rich man who can, we’ll need his money to win the general election.
So, pragmatically, I realize that our candidate must be Mitt Romney, hopefully, with Mike Huckabee so close on his heels going into the convention that Mitt is forced to take Mike as his VP to amass their delegates to keep McCain and Giuliani off of our ticket.
