Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison,
I have called your office, the office of Senator John Cornyn and Senator John McCain. I am a lifelong Republican, a McCain Victory 08 Blogger and have my own blog and Internet talk radio program.
After your vote last night, I will never support you for elected office, I will instead support any other Republican opposing you who disagrees with what you did. You voted for a huge piece of pork last night that is totally unnecessary.
We need to repeal Sarbanes Oxley, Mark-to-Market rules, cut capital gains and immediately investigate and prosecute anyone involved in this economic scandal to include anyone on Capitol Hill involved no matter who they are.
Sadly, you and others like you have hijacked the Republican party, completely abandoned the Reagan doctrine, and ignored the legacy Reagan handed the American people.
Personally, I wished that Jim DeMint was my Senator and that he was the nominee of our party. He was one of 15 Republicans and 10 democrats who stood up for what is right for America and not for himself in the way of pork barrel earmarks.
McCain, like you, has proven himself to be wrong and out of touch with true conservatives, but sadly he is the only hope we have of defeating Obama... voting against Obama is my pleasure,
Sadly, after last night’s events, voting for McCain will be done VERY RELUCTANTLY!
What you voted for was a disgrace you should be ashamed of yourself.
You have lost my trust and my support - PERIOD!
It appears as though our party needs to immediately begin rebuilding itself with the 15 Senators and 133 Representatives that voted against the bailout.
