Dear Mr. President:
As a 64-year-old, lifelong fiscal conservative and Republican since Nixon, may I humbly thank you? In the eight months or so since you took office, you have succeeded in reviving a party, the GOP, that many had left for dead.
1) You have named men to office so wildly irresponsible, so extreme in their positions, so vulgar in their means of expression, that they have made the Republican Party regain its of gleam of gentility and good graces. I am not talking only about the tough guy/ballet dancer Rahm Emanuel, who screamed like a jilted drunken sorority girl at GOP leaders after Joe Wilson's outburst (itself a disgrace) last Wednesday night. I am talking about a high White House official who called Republicans by a barnyard epithet at a public speech recently. This is the same guy who signed a petition to investigate whether the government caused 9/11 -- itself a favored position of Neo-Nazis and other nut jobs. Thank you. I thought no one could outdo an appointment like Henry Paulson, Bush 43's Treasury Secretary -- but you have.
2) You have proposed a national health care plan so wildly extravagant, incomprehensibly complex and over the top that it makes President George W. Bush's budget gaffes seem like blips -- plus you have told fibs about it so immense that you have embarrassed yourself as a public figure:
• Obviously, no responsible leader in government thinks there are enough savings in Medicare to pay for national health insurance.(continued)

Well, that’s a good point! I think Rush was right today when he said that we have to get the GOP in gear and make it conservative again, because while we are annoyed at the wusses in the GOP, what we are really freaked out about is the New Fascist Democrat Obama Land.
We have to forget the fantasy third party, because when it has emerged, it has only led to failure and loss of elections.
We can’t afford to lose the next election (if we have one). The Dems were obviously sticking their fingers in their ears and ignored us on 9/12, but I think a lot of Republican elected officials got the message.
Looks that way, doesn’t it? That’s what “compassion” gets you.

Didn’t Ben support the O a year ago?
I don't remember that, but he did contribute to Al Franken's Senate race.
Great letter!!!
A great read!
That’s not a great idea. Don’t you think you should at least wait and see who the pubbie candidate is? Do you really want Obama in for a second term?
Definately!
I am not in a coma. I’m just tired of the constant slams against the GOP. Why not say something good about the ones that are conservative and work against the ones that aren’t? The constant put down gets very depressing.
Rasmussen Reports shows that 44% would vote for their district’s Republican congressional candidate while 37% would opt for his or her Democratic opponent.
This is now the 11th straight week GOP candidates have held the advantage.
Support for both parties rose one point over the past week, giving Republicans their highest level of support of the past several years. Support for Democrats last week reached its lowest point during that same time period.
There are some good conservatives in the House and a FEW in the Senate. You can't get more conservative then my Representative, Doug Lamborn. So far, however, they're making little headway against the liberal agenda of Obama. When they do make a difference I'm the first to give them kudos.
Sorry you're depressed. If you intend on sticking around FR, I suggest you grow some thicker skin.
Thank you for posting this, 2ndDivisionVet. You always find the best articles first.
Yes, the GOP has committed suicide in my opinion. I will never again vote for someone just because they have a R behind their name and are running against a D. I am much more inclined to find the independent candidates and get to know them and even campaign for them before I blindly accept the R candidate. In fact I think we here in Mississippi need to get rid of our current R and elect dedicated conservatives.
