A Note to the Chairman of the RNC on the Failure of the $700B Bailout Bill

I also sent a letter to the RNC, to spread the bile around a bit:

"Mr. Mike Duncan, RNC Chairman:

As a registered Republican, I must tell you that I am very concerned. How can you expect me or my spouse to vote for the Republican Party? Today, while Rome was Burning, I saw Republicans in the House vote down the $700B “Bailout Bill” and use partisan politics as their excuse. I saw Republican Congressmen justify this with political blather about protecting the future of their children! Another stunning failure for the 110th congress as a “Do Nothing and Say NO to Everything” Congress!

In the last two weeks, I have personally witnessed two plant closings. I am watching people make a run on the bank. I am watching people hunker down and freeze up expecting the end of the world.

I am listening to Senator John McCain promote plans and make speeches. However, it seems that the party he is to lead is incapable of achieving the results necessary.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions, as the saying goes. Senator McCain may be a “maverick” running on a platform as a “reformer” but if he cannot lead or if his party has a totally different agenda, then he will be a lame duck from the get go, as they say.

I will remember this day and if the Republican Party can't get this job done, than we will certainly be voting for someone else, and we’ll vote for a candidate and a majority in congress that can get the job done!"
