A Time For Choosing....A Series Of Open Letters To The GOP

[gary4205]

I'd like to offer these letters to Lynn's audience. I am writing them as a series, and they are being sent as e-mails to key Republican politicians. It is my intention, at the conclusion of the series to compile these letters, bind them, and send them to every elected Republican as well as party representatives.

I am a Temple, Texas native who after some adventures, moved back home to enjoy life. I feel that at this time in history, we need to be more active than ever in helping shape the direction our nation is going. I'm also an unabashed Ronald Reagan conservative.

I hope you find these letters enlightening, and thought provoking. Please feel free to quote me, forward the URLs to friends, and print them out and send them to politicians and GOP officials who you think need some reminding what the Republican party is supposed to be about!


Let's get started:

A Time For Choosing......An Open Letter To The Republican Party

"In October of 1964 Ronald Reagan addressed the Republican National Convention and a television audience. At the time America was headed into liberalism in a big way. Democrats were looking to grow the government in ways our founders never dreamed of. The "Great Society" was upon us.

Reagan, a newly minted Republican, remarked that he didn’t leave the democrat party, the party left him."

My next letter in the series, wasn't planned, but as I was about to publish, Senator John Cornyn, generally a good guy, made a bonehead decision. He needed to be called on it:


John Cornyn Makes His Choice, And It's A Bad One

"You know, I generally like, and support Senator John Cornyn. He has been a great Senator, and was outstanding as Attorney General of Texas. So it pains me to have to write this entry.

In fact, as part of my continuing series on the time for choosing in the Republican party, I had something completely different planned for this spot.

But Senator Cornyn has made a choice that must be addressed.

Cornyn is the NRSC chair. A powerful position where he decides who the GOP will and won't support as senatorial candidates. While I was happy to see him in this position, I must say I am completely disappointed in the results."

Number three in the series:

More Choosing. Do You Want Success? A Continuing Open Letter To Republicans


“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.” _____Ronald Reagan

In my last entry I pointed out it is a time for choosing. A time for the Republican party to figure itself out. Does the Republican party want to remain the minority party for the rest of it’s existence, floating both toward moderatism and mediocrity, or does it want to become the political powerhouse it once was?

Does the Republican party want to again be the party that stands side by side with the American people on every issue, or does it want to continue it’s headlong rush into being nothing more than “democrat lite”?"

Number 4:

With Sarah Palin, Barack Obama Shows Rod Blagojevich How Pay-For-Play Is Done!

I wrote this earlier in the year, and posted it on my other blog at Townhall.com, but frankly, this fits right in with the theme of choice, and my ongoing open letters to Republicans in office. This was going on during the 2008 Presidential and the Republican party chose to stand back, and do nothing. John McCain's campaign chose to stand back, and do nothing, as well.

So what happened? The democrats were able to smear the reputation of a great Governor, with nothing but lies. And at least one of them, Senator Kim Elton benefited from pay-for-play with Obama.

And as always, the Republicans proved to be worthless at protecting their own.

Now since I originally posted this story, the Alaskan democrats tried to force one of the "troopergate" co-conspirators, Beth Kerttula, down Governor Palin's throat, as the replacement for Kim Elton. However, Governor Palin said no, and literally asked for resumes from any registered democrats in Juneau, Elton's district, who might be interested in being a Senator!

After much wrangling, Governor Palin was able to convince the democrats that it was in their best interest to accept former Juneau Mayor, Dennis Egan, whose father was Alaska's first Governor, rather than any of the four choices they had put out there, including their first choice, Beth Kerttula.


With Sarah Palin, Barack Obama Shows Rod Blagojevich How Pay -For-Play Is Done!



Long before Americans learned about the sorted tails of, now impeached, Governor Rod Blagojevich, and his attempt to sell the Senate seat vacated by now President Barack Obama, there was a much more nefarious plot taking place in our northern most state.
