An Open Comment to The Republican Party

I suggest if you wish to become a party of unity rather than division, of hope rather than fear, of action not reaction...quit repeating the myth of Reagan. His was not a small government, balanced budget, working class presidency. He doubled the payroll tax on working americans, busted unions, supported crony-capitalists...made comments like 'trees cause pollution'...quadrupled the nation's debt with 'trickle-down' economics. Bush I continued in his footsteps, adding more government and more debt...Bush II took a budget surplus and ran the country into the ground with debt and trade imbalances. Eisenhower warned of the Military/Industrial Complex...Teddy Roosevelt's progressive policies righted many of the wrongs and injustices of the 'gay 90s'...Abraham Lincoln united a very divided nation... You'd do well to avoid the likes of Sarah Palin...small minds with insular, fearful, religiosity. The James Dobsons, Grover Norquists, Tony Perkins... Conservatives these are not...nor was Reagan or either of the Bushes. Look to Teddy, Abraham, Ike...for our nation's prosperity and unity. By far, the more conservative candidate in this recent presidential election won...and that was Barack Obama... United we stand. We the people. A sense of the commons. Common sense.
