Letter to Sen. John McCain
Dear Senator McCain:
Americans want to vote for you, they really do. But you are proving to be your one worst enemy. Republicans and Conservatives are trying to make your case for you on the internet, in blogs, in videos, print and other media. But we cannot do it all. You need to step up and speak out for yourself.
We all release a collective groan when you tell the media you will turn to people like Al Gore, who we defeated in a presidential election because we think he has terrible ideas on where this country should go. We do not believe his fantasy of man-made global warming. We believe he is heading up a money-making scheme which has so far helped him to add millions, possibly billions, to his own bank account.
You hurt yourself by turning away from true Conservatives and pandering to the far left wing of the Democrat party. They do not want you as president. They mock you behind your back and openly in the main stream media who are all in the tank for your opposition, Barack Obama. Why would you do this? Do you have a death wish for your campaign?
On the far left, liberal actor Alec Baldwin admits that Barney Frank was the one who let us down in Congress. It was Barney Frank, and associates who got Americans in this financial mess. There is video of their own comments in Congress, check it out for yourself. Surely somebody on your staff can make you sit down and watch this. Americans know the truth, so name names Sen. McCain.
Americans are tired of the fox guarding the hen house. Barney Frank is the cause of our situation and now he will be investigating what happened. Surely Senator McCain, you can see the irony in this. Americans, Republicans, Conservatives are pulling our hair out.
You need to come out swinging and expose the folks that are responsible for the financial situation, specifically Fannie and Freddie. Name names Mr. McCain.
You are supposed to be the candidate that will keep this country safe from terrorists. Are you aware that the "Federal
Reserve extended an $85 billion loan to American International Group to
be paid back as AIG sells off some business in the biggest government
takeover so far in the ongoing credit crisis" and AIG is continuing to expand its Sharia finance business?
The main stream media is not only using Democrat talking points, they are using Arab talking points, thus spreading the Islamization of America. This leaves Republicans with the great responsibility of getting their own message out correctly. It's up to you Sen. McCain. Step up and speak out. The MSM does not support you and neither does the Arab world. It is your opponent Barack Obama who received financing from the Palestinians. Name names Mr. McCain.
Surely you can see why Barack Obama is bad for America. If you truly believe this, then we want you to tell us WHY he is bad, say it, tell Obama in the upcoming debate. Point out all the reasons why he should NOT be the next president of the United States. He wants to redistribute income, take from the rich, give to those he chooses to give to. He wants to sit down with our enemies. He wants to defer to the 'world' rather than make decisions himself to protect America. Point the finger at these issues Mr. McCain.
You need to name names. You promised American people this is what you would do. We take you at your word, don't disappoint us.
You need to be naming names about Sen. Barack Obama's friends and associates. The group includes terrorists, America-haters, who want to destroy this country, who want to ruin her any way they can. Name these names Sen. McCain: Rezko, Wright, Ayers, Meeks, Pfleger, ACORN, and now ... The FBI visited the offices in Joliet, Ill., of a Will County auditor to ask questions about Larry Walsh, a longtime friend of Mr. Obama's, and his chief of staff Matt Ryan, concerning the millions of dollars in earmarks provided by Obama. Name these names Sen. McCain. Share this information with the world on television during the debates.
Let Gov. Sarah Palin be who she is -- a true Conservative. Do not send her out on the campaign trail parroting your "maverick" talking points. Let her name names and point fingers at your opponent. She knows who the enemy is and can share this with the people who love her and who she connects with.
Enough with using the term "maverick". This appeals to no one who will vote for you. We don't want mavericks, we don't want someone who turns his back on his base in order to ingratiate the opposing party. We value someone who shares our beliefs and isn't afraid to stand up for those beliefs. Can you be this person Sen. McCain? Voters are wondering. It's up to you to convince us that you will represent Conservatives if we elect you. We await your reply and will be watching the upcoming presidential debates. Don't let us down.
Sincerely
Debbie Hamilton
Conservative

Mister John McCain or Señor Juan McCain? Are you an EAGLE or an RINO?
That's the question!

McCain is trying to let Palin be the bad cop to his good, which is something many conservatives were advocating a few weeks ago. Now it's backfiring. People want leadership from the top guy. Imagine Fred Thompson running with Palin. Awesome. Now think of reality. Not awesome. But McCain could turn it around 'in a heartbeat' if he wanted to.

Thank you. That is exactly what this letter is intended to be - a call to action to everyone, voters and McCain.
I see this morning that Sarah Palin is in fact naming names and pointing fingers at Obama and his terrorist connections. Maybe the McCain camp is getting the message.

This was outstanding, and I agree. I wrote Senator McCain with similar concerns yesterday morning, although I'm sure my letter was not as articulate as your own. To 30yrdem: I'm a former lifelong Dem who has campaigned her heart out for McCain since 5/6/08, and the ONLY reason I've been able to sway undecideds or other former Dems over to McCain is because I made the same points as Debbie authored, above. Her comments were not a put-down, but rather a call to action.

Appreciate your commentary and I feel the same way.Senator McCain needs address the liberal's attack that the republicans pushed deregulation too much and that's the reason for the finacial meltdown.Barney Frank,Chris Dodd,Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi need to be voted out of office !
He also needs to put forth a strong economic message to counter the democratic claim that he does not get it when it comes to the economy.
Obama and his democratic friends cannot keep spending (those earmarks attached to the bailout were a travesty !) like a drunken sailor!
One question that may not come up in the debate should be,which of you would be better at controlling governmant spending ?
Great post Debbie !
