Sir:
It has almost been eight years. You were my governor while I lived in Texas, and were my President while I moved to Oklahoma.
It is time we had a talk. I and all of America were your employer. A review is in order.
The National Security column gets high marks. You and your team "gets it", and did well, as did all our law enforcement people. You truly ramped it up and kept us safe. Your stance on the borders and their security was dreadful. A sovereign nation requires sovereign borders.
Your immigration stance is infantile and badly thought out. I simply do not care about your "soft spot" for people coming into this country illegally. Frankly, George, you were misinformed and screwed this up badly. All you ever had to do is fully ENFORCE our laws. Why did you not do this? Your last thoughts are of AMNESTY? Forgive me, that's simple Expedient BS. And I would fight you in my backyard on this point.
Your financial planning, of leaving the markets alone…but not playing hardball with the Democrats was bad policy. I would have publically skewered Franks, and the entire Democratic party on the Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac changes …it would have been an outing!!!! Why were you afraid? The changes made during the Clinton years were bad policy. Why did you only warn Fannie Mae and Ginnae Mae...why not make it a public battle?
It seems that you and your entire administration got worn down, from the war on terrorism, hurricanes and the dreadful MSM. Your loss of Tony Snow, and the will to fight the liberals is going to cost the conservatives and your party badly.
1. You see, George, you were elected because you had a personality, chemistry with the American People. And you forgot, that bond was more important than anything else. Why did you not trust us..the way you trusted? We would have understood George.
2. John K. was a goofball, but had no personality.
3. Your advisors forgot that your strength and I know because I was there when you became governor, were you confidence and personality…..
4. You stopped defending you policies and forgot to ask real people for advice…the people on the hill ain’t real people George…they are self serving demi-Gods....why not townhall meetings country wide? Hell, leaders, lead..they don't allow others to set a course.
5. McCain was allowed to run, because you stopped trying! What the hell happened? And Mccain was a weak ineffectual, poorly prepared candidate.....the party had no captain..that was your job!!!
What Happened George? Did you lose your "set"? Did someone steal your backbone?
I still like you buddy. But a leader who knows the right thing to do and only does things half way…is ….is….inept, afraid ….or both! And I know you are not afraid.
Had you taken the game ball, and continued to really run with it…the liberals would still be in the minority, Obambi would still be a Senator, and a torch would be passed to another conservative.
Thanks George W. for all the hard work, the effort and consideration and most of all for trying to be genuine.
Effort A+...Results C+...leadership B....
