This evening, I recieved an e-mail from Mel Martinez and Mike Duncan of the Republican National Committee asking for feedback on what they need to do to earn the trust of the American people again. I gave it to them with both barrells. Here is what I wrote to them:
If you want my vote, here is what you will have to do:
1. Don’t just be in the War in Iraq. Be in it to win it. We have tied our soldiers hands behind their back by playing politically correct patty cakes with the war in order to appease the Europeans, the Muslims, whoever. Enough with that. Fight this war to win it or bring the troops home.
2. Take a strong pro-life stance and distinguish yourselves from Hillary’s ridicilous “safe, legal and rare” stance. Keep appointing pro-life judges who will end this travesty of a holocaust in our nation.
3. Overturn the idioitic No Child Left Behind laws and start listening to the voices of reason within your party like Senator Jim Holt by returning local control of the schools: http://www.jimholt.us/AboutJim_position.html#Schools
4. Along with the pro-life issue, also make private property rights a litmus test for the Supreme Court. The Kelo decision also needs to be overturned.
5. Stop playing politics with the nations security in order to win the Hispanic vote and do away with all forms of amnesty for illegal immigrants and secure the borders to the North and South.
6. Tell the environmentalists to climb a tree and drill as much as you can in ANWAR. It is time for us to declare independence from the Middle East and Hugo Chavez for oil. Give more tax incentives for hybrid technology. Encourage our independence for the sake of our nation.
7. Forget about the moderates in our party. The following candidates will be politically DOA with my vote if they are nominated: Rudy Gulliani, John McCain, and any other candidate that is moderate (liberal). The following candidate is not only politically DOA with my vote, but will be actively campaigned against if he is nominated on my blog and wherever else I can spread the word about his arrogant liberal attitudes: Gov. Mike Huckabee. If you want to support someone who will get my vote and bring Reagan Conservatism back to this country, you could go for someone like Tom Tancredo.
8. Finally, let me say that I am sick of the compromise this party continues to make with their conservative heritage. It has gone more and more liberal since Reagan left office to where it is hardly even recognizable as the party that Reagan built. If you want to know why you guys had a bad year last year, point the fingers right back at yourselves and your weak liberalism. It wasn’t that we are in Iraq. It was because America is starting to get the impression that we are not there to win in Iraq. Instead we are playing political patty cakes with our enemies. If you are going to send our troops to war, honor their service by going in it to win it. Your supporters stayed home not because they want “comprehensive immigration reform” (amnesty). They stayed home because you are playing politics with our border and our national security. It is time to stop playing political games and start being proud once more to be true conservatives. Distinguish yourselves from the democrats. Don’t try to be like them. The election in 2008 will determine the direction for the next 20 years or so, I believe. If you play political games as usual, you will be finished. The conservatives of this nation are not going to stand for the lesser of two evils argument anymore. we are not going to be scared by Hillary. If you want to win in 08, inspire us, don’t frighten us. Inspire us by getting back to Reagan Conservatism. Inspire us to support something different than Hillary Clinton. The choice is up to you.
Will they listen to me? Who knows? Time will tell.
