Dear John,

I used to like you, but now I think you are a punk-ass bitch. 

Years ago the “maverick” label seemed like it fit.  You used to be against giving huge tax breaks to the rich, but now you want to extend Bush’s tax cuts for the wealthy, even though Bush’s plan has added trillions to the national debt during the eight years he’s been in office and will result in him handing off the largest budget deficit in history to his successor.

You used to be a moderate on the abortion issue, but now that you’re the nominee, you are letting yourself be controlled by extreme right-wing factions of your party.  You are not a moderate anymore.

You used to be against negative campaigning.  You learned in 2000 that going negative against Bush didn’t work out so well for you.  It worked for Bush though.  Maybe that’s why you recently hired Steve Schmidt who worked under Karl Rove in the extremely mean and nasty Bush campaigns.  The Wall Street Journal reported that Karl Rove “dubbed him ‘The Bullet,’ a reference to both the shape of his shaved head and his lethal impact when deployed against opponents.”

He is obviously behind your latest attack ad that equates Barack Obama with Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.

Are you out of your mind?  Tell me how they are alike?

Has Obama been arrested for drunk driving?

Has Obama been divorced and denied custody of his children?

Has Obama had videos of him having sex posted on the internet?

Has Obama starred in really stupid TV shows?

Do Spears and Hilton have a law degrees?

Have Spears or Hilton, outside of court ordered punishment, performed any public service?

Have Spears or Hilton ever held public office?

The answer to all of these questions is “NO!”

You are an idiot for hiring a hit man like Steve Schmidt to run your campaign.  You should have listened to Mike Huckabee “who sternly warned the GOP that demonizing Barack Obama won’t work and it would be a big blunder to even try.  Huckabee issued the warning because he’s worried that in going negative against Obama the GOP risks voter backlash.”

You agreed with him then and said that you would run a clean campaign.  Now you look and sound like mean, jealous, grumpy old man. 

The night Obama gave his victory speech after out-polling Clinton, you also gave a speech, and the contrast between the two events was like night and day.  After seeing the videos I commented that about the only way you could run a successful campaign against Obama would be if you conducted your entire campaign from the guest chair of The Daily Show.  There you look comfortable.  There you are likable.  There, even liberals will listen to you and give you some respect.

Those days are over.  I doubt that Jon Stewart will invite you back because he has a policy about not inviting douche bags to appear on his show.

Good luck with your ill-advised, negative campaign.  I think I know how it will turn out.
