From The Right, A Love Letter
My dearest Democrats,
Words cannot express the deep affection I feel for all of you at this moment.
Just a few short months ago, I was forlorn and close to despair. As a conservative, I viewed voting for John McCain in November like getting an annual prostate exam - distasteful but necessary.
In my wildest dreams, I could not have imagined that the Democratic Party would nominate a presidential candidate who has expressed a willingness to sit down and talk with Iran’s President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - the maniac who has said he wants to wipe Israel off the map of the Middle East. If Obama becomes president, maybe they’ll agree to compromise and just wipe out half of Israel when they meet.
Does Barack Hussein Obama have more common ground with the Iranian President than we have been led to believe? I don’t know. However, Ahmed Yousuf, the top political advisor for Hamas, had this to say about Obama, "We like Mr. Obama, and we hope that he will win the elections.”
When asked about Obama’s rejection of the Hamas endorsement, Ahmed Yousuf answered, "I understand American politics and this is the season for elections and everybody tries to sound like he's a friend of the Israelis.”
Barack Hussein Obama will be worse for Israel than Jimmy Carter on steroids, and everyone knows it.
I did not think Democrats could possibly nominate someone more pro-abortion than Hillary Clinton, but amazingly, you’re going to do so. In the Pennsylvania primary, Barack Obama lost the Catholic vote to Clinton by a margin of 71 to 29. Barack Obama has been a strong supporter of partial birth abortion - a procedure so gruesome that even Jeffrey Dahmer would have recoiled in horror. Sixty-five million American Catholics will let him know what they think of that this November.
Obama’s spiritual mentor and advisor, Reverend Wright, is a nutty racist who thinks Louis Farrakhan is a great man. The best thing about Rev. Wright is that he keeps on talking. Rev. Wright is the gift that keeps on giving.
I have not even touched on “Bittergate”, the newly proud Mrs. Obama, slumlord Tony Rezko, or domestic terrorists Bernadette Dohrn and William Ayers. Almost every day a new terrorist, Marxist or racist is connected to Obama and his campaign. I just can’t fit all of Obama’s baggage into one column.
Hillary has consistently won the senior vote in the primaries, and in a recent Zogby poll, McCain leads Obama among seniors by 51 percent to 35 percent. It seems that seniors value experience much more than they do some hokey concept of “change.” Obama will also have trouble getting the votes of white males, Hispanics, women and veterans.
Obama supporters consist of liberals, the entire mainstream media, the youth vote, and black Americans. George McGovern and Walter Mondale won their party’s nomination with similar coalitions. What they couldn’t do, and what Obama won’t be able to do, is win a general election.
I had thought the bumper sticker phrase, “Liberals are so open minded their brains have fallen out” was just that - a bumper sticker slogan. I did not realize that this phrase contained an ultimate truth.
Observant readers may have noticed I used your likely nominee’s full legal name: “Barack Hussein Obama” - even though John McCain doesn’t want us to. Surely, you must know that we conservatives haven’t cared about what John McCain has to say about election communications ever since he rammed the unconstitutional McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform down our throats.
You have re-set a place for us at our party’s table. Hillary has proven that Obama can’t take a punch. Obama has a glass jaw and conservatives are going to hit that jaw like the fist of an angry god.
John McCain will criticize us in public but smile inwardly as the Obama campaign continues to collapse like a straw hut during a Category 5 hurricane.
John McCain is not a conservative. McCain is, at his best, a moderate Republican, and generally speaking, conservatives dislike moderate Republicans almost as much as they dislike liberals. But you haven’t given us just a liberal in Obama; you’ve given us a hard core Marxist who can barely disguise his contempt for the American people. You have given us someone we must oppose.
To show such compassion and generosity of spirit to conservatives is unprecedented. My friends and I are humbled to have such riches so unselfishly bestowed upon us.
Thank You
Affectionately Yours,
