"Romney is Unacceptable" - Open Letter to RNC

Dear RNC,

I'm a lifelong Republican, voted straight Republican since I turned 18 in 1995, have attended Bush and Palin rallies, and donated and volunteered for McCain/Palin in 2008.

Mitt Romney was never a good candidate, never had the right experience, never showed the kind of personality that can get elected in a national campaign, and based on his liberal record as governor never belonged in the Republican party to begin with. Even so, up until this week, I would have been willing to vote for him in November if he was the nominee, even though I would never have donated to him or worked for his campaign. But after his disgusting, rude, outright lies about Newt Gingrich and his campaign's gross misrepresentations of Newt's record this week, I will never vote for him now. I would rather have gridlock between Obama and a Republican Congress than award Romney with the Oval Office.

Romney is disgraceful, an embarrassment, and the most dishonest and unethical politician on the national scene since Bill Clinton. Because of his liberal record and his false, vicious smears of fellow Republicans, he will tear this party apart at its roots if he wins the nomination. Few in the party's base will donate to or work for his campaign.

If Romney wins the nomination, the party will have to work hard to rebound after his certain Presidential election loss in November. Since the base won't support him and negative Bain Capital ads will destroy him with independents, just as they did in his 1994 Ted Kennedy race and last week in South Carolina, he is a guaranteed loser. Something must be done in the future to make sure a candidate who has a record this far off from the party platform or a candidate who engages in tactics this dirty and dishonest against fellow Republicans never again is allowed to compete for our Presidential nomination.

"The Romney team goes scorched earth on Newt and expects our support later?"

Didn't you get the memo CitizenUSA; we conservatives are so shallow we will overlook / forget the Mittiots tactics by election day. /sarc
The hash reality of the game. Weak-kneed, silver tongued lemmings desecrating the ballot.
@Kaslin: I'd be interested to know if Reince Pribus (or whatever) gives you a response.
