I want to highly praised your new book "A National Party No More: The Conscience of a Conservative Democrat," It took a lot of bravery of you to write a book criticizing Democrats. It seem like there is no books out there condemn Democrat in the media. How did you ever get on FOX, a member of liberal media, to get your voice heard and bring your Conservative views out in the open?
Ok, enough
Senator, I believe the Democrat party is really the party of big tent. Just look at yourself, you are a democrat and that is not big tent. I don't know what is. I have not read your book, but it is nice to see you have a conscience. I am a northern, liberal, Hispanic male and I do believe I have a conscience too. My conscience lead me to be a liberal democrat and I want to know why your conscience lead you to be a conservative one?
How can you explain to your conscience when American still has poverty? When people are homeless, hungry, and without hope. How can you explain to your conscience when people live without health care? How can you explain to your conscience when every single American does not have equal schools, rights, and opportunities? How can you explain to your conscience when American has a high murder rate due to guns? How can you explain to your conscience when richer get richer and the poorer gets poorer?
I will wait for your answers? or can I find them on the RNC web page?
Senator, if the Democrat party is not a national party is the Republican party the national party? if so, Why is it that GOP only receives 10 percent of the African - American vote and 35 percent of the Hispanic vote? or does that not count in your national party? Why did Al Gore receives more votes than any person running for president in 2000, only President Reagan got more votes? or does the votes of northern, liberals, minorities, and labor don't really count in your national party? As a member of Senate, you must know Democratic Senator represent more American than GOP Senator? or does the northern, coast, and middle west state Senators does not count in your national party?
It seem to me, Democrat party even with it many faults is still a national party. I wish you well in your retirement. Have a goodtime campaigning for GOP and President Bush in 2004. You can carry your "Democrat for Bush" sign provide by RNC at your photo ops.
One last thing, I am proud to be a Democrat and I wish you were too
