McCain just sent me a 4 page begging letter.
What shall I write on it when I send it back?

He called me "my friend"....awwwww, ain't that sweet?

No date, just says "Tuesday Morning". It got here a few minutes ago at 2 pm Central Time.
but there is NO Postmark on it....hmmmmm.

Says he needs to raise 20 million in the next 10 days, and for the "72 hour PUSH into Election Day".

Since he identifies me as "a Republican supporter like you" :wtf:
I figure anything I send back will be interpreted as coming from a Republican.

So what can I tell him that will sound like he did something to lose a Repug vote?
Besides Palin...

????????????????

2. You could use Racism, stupidity, temperment, judgement.
Theres a whole lot of reasons for a republican to break from McCain.

3. Tell him you realize he's not Bush, but judging solely by his VOTING RECORD,
it's hard to see the difference.

Tell him he's hardly a maverick, and that cutting taxes for the wealthy doesn't work. Point out he should know that by looking at our economy right now...which is the result of 8 years of Bush tax cuts.

Tell him he's just more of the same, and that the American people know it. He should too. Tell him to look in the mirror.

5. Ohh.. i'd USE Palin..
Say something like "I was really on board with you because of your record in the senate of bringing people together, voting across party lines, and not taking the extreme right-wing views of the Bush presidency.

Then you made the most idiotic decision i've ever witnessed in a presidential campaign. You asked the one person who goes against everything you claim to believe in to be your running mate. Sarah Palin is for the earmarks you are against, she is very extreme in her social views, she does not have a record of cutting spending, and frankly on top of all of that, she's just not smart enough to be anywhere near the white house.

You lost my vote when you made that poor decision, and it's looking like not only is that going to cost you my vote but the votes of millions.

Our family is voting for Barack Obama next Tuesday.

6. Send it back with a note that reads:
"I'm sorry, but since the stock market crash, I've lost a good portion of my retirement funds...all I have to live on. I'm barely scraping by eating macaroni and cheese and the occasional pack of crackers. I just can't afford to be a Republican any more. I'll be voting for the change we need. I'm voting for Obama."

7. Did he send you a dollar too?
There was a thread here the other day describing a McCain mailer that had a dollar in it.

I recommend sending Monopoly money.

11. Tape the return envelope to a brick
and drop it in the mailbox.

Might as well cost them even more money. :)

12. Send him a donation of 40 cents, all in pennies, taped inside so that
he has to pay the exhorbitant postage paid rate for his silly, silly mistake of thinking of you as a friend!

13. I like that....and I have tons of pennies.
those and a note about my retirement being wiped out should do the trick.
