To The Republicans

The Republican party needs rehabilitation.

The Republican party needs to clean house and get rid of the old dry political wing of the party. The politicians that are in power to be in power and have influence need to go. The Republican party needs to become a party of ideals, of freedom and of liberty.

No longer should we see politicians of pork such as Ted Stevens of Alaska. No longer should we hear political aides seeking scape goats for their boss like we heard aides of John McCain bad mouthing Sarah Palin at the end of the campaign. It is a childish thing to do and must not be condoned. Take responsibility. Be an adult. I expect more from the party I choose. John McCain has been disappointing in not publicly chastising his aides that did this.

A good example of Republican ineptitude was the local race for Congressional Distric 1. The state party endorsed Sydney Hay through the primary in opposition to Saundra Livingstone. Sydney Hay is a lobbyist and was ran against effectively on that aspect in the general election. Saundra Livingstone has a great backround as an attorney and work in the State Department under Condoleeza Rice. The power brokers made their decision and possibly cost the Republicans a seat in the House.

The base is becoming more disheartened by the Republican establishment. Principles can not be given up to win an election. It is a sad state if it takes deceit to win an election.
