    Can’t you ever let go?

    Let what go, Horst Kraus? Is anything untrue written here? I sure don’t see it. We now have three people vying for the highest office in the land (as well as the free world), who are intent on turning America into a third world country. I would have expected that the GOP candidate would offer us a choice, but please tell me how he differs on border INsecurity.

    American citizenship is a privledge not to be gifted to people criminally entering this nation. John McCain authored the shameful amnesty bill that was only withdrawn after nationwide protests by American citizens. What do you think will happen if he is elected president?

    I love this country and my children too much to cast my vote for this betrayal.

    Birds of a feather.

    The endorsement by a President with ratings dragging bottom will do more to hinder than help McCain.

    My daughter received this email from the Democrat party today. She forwarded it to me and I thought it told quite a story, so I’m posting it here. People like Mr. Kraus need to understand how the opposition will configure this endorsement. President Bush is not admired by many and that includes Republicans. His endorsement is nothing to be enthused about.
    While we know that Bush and McCain have not been particulary close, that is the bring-home point of this Democrat message:

    Dear Sarah,

    John McCain formally won the Republican nomination last night. So what did he do today? He didn’t meet with voters, didn’t take a break, didn’t even attack our candidates — he headed to the White House to stand with George W. Bush.

    There’s no question that George Bush knows that John McCain will pick up where he leaves off. Make no mistake, McCain is the closest Bush will have to a third term, and the White House will do anything to get him elected.

    In fact, they’re so similar, John McCain had little to say — George Bush did most of the talking for both of them.

    He even suggested that McCain doesn’t represent change, saying that it’s something candidates have to run on because it’s what the American people want to hear. Once again, McCain and Bush are both telling the American people what they want to hear, rather than the truth.

    It’s frightening how much George Bush likes John McCain, and it should tell you all you need to know.

    We’ve had a few late nights around here, and I’m sure we’ll have a few more. We’re working non-stop to beat John McCain and George Bush. Now that McCain is formally the Republican nominee, he has the Republican establishment lined up firmly behind him.

    We need your help Sarah. While Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama continue their campaign, we have to be focused on John McCain. We can’t afford to let him get ahead:

    Governor Dean will be in touch soon, but I wanted to send you a note right away. This election is just too important to let John McCain and George Bush get a head start.

    Your daughter is a Democrat? I’m surprised you admit it! :-)

    Joe:
    I did my best. She is a testament to AZ public schools. She had liberal teachers since middle school and they were able to have more sway over her than her parents did.

    She is now in her late twenties, married and has a child of her own. I am hoping this aberration skips a generation and I have better luck with my grandchild.

    Our son is a conservative. Do I get additional points for him?
