An Open Letter to John McCain...

I sent this letter to John McCain via his website earlier today.

Senator McCain:

I want to let you know that I was disappointed to hear your negative radio ad attacking JD Hayworth.

I'm not disappointed because it was a negative ad. I expect a certain balance in any campaign of ads exposing one's opponent's weaknesses and ads extoling one's own virtues and strengths.

The disappointment - even the anger - I feel is because, when the Country's future was literally on the line, you refused to say anything negative about your then-opponent, Barack H. Obama!

I am seriously troubled by the inconsistency. You were unwilling to even point out Candidate Obama's legitimate red flags and you censured those associated with you who did. Yet you are willing to make misleading assertions about JD Hayworth, a conservative who is intent on putting the country back on the right and constitutional course.

I have previously been an active voter who did not affiliate himself with any party. I want you to know that I have registered "Republican" so that I can participate in the primary election and work to get you off the ballot in November.

I appreciate the service you've given the country for years. And I offer you all the gratitude and honor that is appropriate.

I think it is time for you to step aside, now.

Respectfully,

John N. Ellis
