DO NOT attempt to lecture me on being a “real” Republican. I have walked the streets and attended Conventions and worked my fingers to the bone for Conservatism... I have given probably $50,000 to Republican and Conservative groups over the last decade... I supported Bush both times for the full Federal Limit... I supported the SBVFT with $1500.00...I gave $500.00 to oust Senator Abscam murtha... I gave $500.00 to Katherine Harris... I gave to the Florida 2000 election war... I supported Bobby Jindal... I support Haley Barbour... I support as many Conservative candidates as I can afford... as well as the RNC (since mel left) and Senate and House reelection committees. I even have a bulletin board in one of my showrooms that is nothing but Republican truth versus dim lies.

Everyone that touches my daily life is educated to the truth. I support Adopt a Platoon... Tommy Frank's group... Oliver North and Hannity’s group... the VFW... The American Legion... and both EM Clubs at our local AFB and Naval Base. I collect for Toys for Tots and have met more homecoming events for our Heroes than I can remember. I waved the flag for our boys as they loaded planes going to Afghanistan and Iraq... I offer discounts to Military personnel too. I think I am an excellent steward of what Republicanism is all about... to embrace shutting someone like me out... well your judgment is lacking in more than candidate choices.

I did not question your Republican bona fides, the fact you are active on FR tells me much. I question your judgment with regard to a candidate that will unite the Republican Party and win in November. Do you think that millions of Republicans have not gone through intensive questioning and soul searching, only your self? Do you think that I really like having to compromise? Do you doubt that I was once supporting Fred?

My friend, I have come to a reluctant conclusion, Fred cannot win. Katherine Harris is a better campaigner than Fred. Wishful thinking about converting the Nation into your viewpoint will only flush good money down the commode. Certainly you don't regret the money you gave Katherine Harris. But I bet you a Glock that you regret losing.
