Memo to Chairman Steele

We have the likes of Sarah Palin and Florida Gov. Charlie Crist urging our Republican Senators  to abandon their ideological principles and become socialist simply because these Republican Governors don't have the backbone to tell their state unionized employees to cut their budgets and live within their means. It has to be done. There is no other way. It is time, long, long past the time, when these Republican politicians should be called to account for this abandonment of Republican ideals. It is the Chairman's job and responsibility to call them to this account.  

If Republican governors are going to undercut the party's platform, we will never get out of the deficit spiral. We can't spend our way out of it. We must cut spending.  Now is the time for leadership. A public message to all Republican governors to cut state spending is the fastest way and the most responsible way to revive the economy. Even if this message is ignored, it has to be stated by the party or we might as well pack it up and go quietly away as a political party.

If the Chairman of the Republican Party does not speak out and articulate the party's position on Obama's Porkus Maximus Stimulus proposal, others will speak for the Republican Party:

Clyde Frazier, a professor of political science at Meredith College in North Carolina, said it wasn't politically inconsistent for Republican governors and members of Congress to part ways on the stimulus plan.

"For governors, it's free money — they get the benefits and they don't have to pay the costs of raising the revenues," Frazier said. "Senators and representatives get only some credit for the expenditures, and they have to pay the bill."

This is complete and utter bs. We all are going to pay the price for Obama's Porkus Maximus Stimulus package, as are our children and their children, as is this country's economic future, even of own personal liberty -- we all will pay.
