Dear Sir:

Are you aware that our party has majorities in both houses of Congress? Are you aware that our party elected a President in 2004? And are you aware that our party controls more state legislatures than the Democrats?

I was just asking, since you seem not to know these things. In fact, I’ve been scratching my head for the last year wondering if it was only a dream, and the Democrats took both houses of Congress. You see, I was wondering this because of all the kowtowing you have done to liberals and liberal special interest groups.

You have postponed the hearings on Judge Alito. You have not make the President’s tax cuts permanent. You have summoned CEOs to explain why they did their job: generating profits for their shareholders. You have expanded the Federal government to hitherto unknown levels, and passed more pork in your legislation than any Democratic Congress. You have refused to work to privatize Social Security and Medicare, or reduce the size of the welfare state. You have passed tariffs and expanded subsidies that should be cut altogether. You have passed a “torture bill” in an attempt to stick your nose where it doesn’t belong, how we conduct war. And now, you have decided to pander to the enviro-nutjobs (and “moderate” Republicans) by not drilling in Alaska or offshore, thereby reducing our dependence on foreign oil.

I don’t think even in the 70s, my list of grievances with Congress was as long as it is now — and that’s saying a great deal.

I suggest that if you want to remain where you are, and not get tossed out on your ear by us conservative Republicans, you had better start acting like you won the election and vote like a conservative.

And I do mean that very seriously.

    […] If you didn’t write that letter, you will. As if the gutless GOP Senators who joined hands with the Dhimmirats to sing kumbayah weren’t enough, well, they’re just as bad in the House. […]
