A letter fit for an utterly uniformed, hardheaded conservative voter...
Dear Voter,
Your friend is clearly uniformed and his lack of support matters more to him. Obama is poised to win in a landslide in fewer than 24 days. McCain has already capitulated and is just going through the motions to go out with some dignity.
Those, like your buddy who voted for Bush and want four more years of his disastrous presidency are simply out of touch.
Thankfully there are enough people who see what Republicans have wrought and that majority WILL take back our country and CHANGE it!
You may recall, I was warning you about Bush eight years ago. I was right then and I am correct now to strongly recommend your consideration of the Obama/Biden ticket.
You were on Viet Nam, Nixon, Bush 1, Bush 2 and now McCain/Palin. Your votes then, and the votes of your sympathizers, resulted in ours and the world's economy laid waste, our constitutional rights compromised, the loss of our respect abroad, thousands of Americans killed and maimed for a war that had nothing to do with 9-11. On and on I could go. Your Republican Party has devastated this country beyond Bin Laden's wildest dreams.
Isn't it about time you admit you may have been wrong and start listening to those who study politics a little more than you have invested? Isn't it about time to divest your mind from its longtime investment in its own error?
Now is not the time to be narrow minded, self-centered (your 2nd amendment paranoia, your religious fundementalism, etc.) and vote on just hot button issues. This election is much bigger than that. If you vote for this ridiculous dead ticket, you will regret it just like you and any intelligent conservatives have regretted their second Bush vote. Hasn't your recent losses in the stock market, your home value plummeting, business slowdown not got your attention?
Think about your country rather than yourself. Don't vote just because you see yourself in the mirror of the good ole mom or the war hero persona. These are just well calculated charades and not what will ultimately protect you or solve your financial crisis. Intelligence, genuine care, concern, well directed and informed youthful energy will. You'll be more pleased with yourself for either not voting McCain/Palin or if you can switch, by voting Democratic. But in the end, your vote may well not matter. Obama is poised to win in a landslide. Democrats will probably win a filibuster-proof congress and the monumental repairs of the last disastrous eight years will begin.
That will be a long, hard road and only the vision, intelligence and experience of the Obama/Biden ticket leading a filibuster-proof congress stand a chance to make it happen.
You have fewer than 24 days to get intelligently informed about this monumental election. Don't be an American Idiot. Vote for candidates that are best qualified or don't vote at all.
Cordially,
(Your name)
