"We want candidates who will secure this country. We will only support candidates who are dedicated to winning the war in Iraq. We will only support candidates who are dedicated to broadening and winning the war on terror. We will only support candidates who will give us Constitutionalist judges. We will only support candidates who will secure our borders without amnesty and without exception. We will only support candidates who represent strong moral values. And we will only support candidates who will reduce spending and balance the budget. Your failure to do these things resulted in a resounding defeat. Here is your fair warning, if you do not espouse these qualities through word and deed you need not apply."

Well said.
