Another interesting theory on your loss, John, is the “liberal media bias” that some say exists – existence to the extent of deciding an election, and approaching that theory from a very biased position I would have to partially agree. Only partially agree because it is a well-known fact that this is Not a theory, but a fact, and it certainly did not GAIN you any votes - another unfair advantage in Mr. Obama’s favor – so certainly another small contributing factor in your loss. I firmly believe that even if you had hammered Barack’s association with the “Reverend” and “Ayers” and “Rezco”, and had really beat him to death on his supposed “Muslim roots” and his birth certificate and his anti-Israeli stance and his wife’s comment about “the only time in my life I have been proud to be an American”, “the media” would still not allowed proper “air time” to be effective. I guess I am more disappointed in the American public over these matters than anything else, because in spite of the limited press time on these subjects, these are things that go to the “heart and soul” of a person and a nation, and Americans chose to ignore them. Obama called them negative attacks – I call them acts of a traitor, if true, and certainly concerns that should have been given equal discussion and investigation, but alas. America deserves better than that. Voters deserve the truth from the press, not vague cheers of “hope” and “change” while willfully ignoring or airbrushing Obama’s record.

Barack Hussein Obama had no business even being in the running for President of the United States. Under any other circumstances this man would not only NOT have been vying for this position, but rather have been under investigation for conspiracy, potential money laundering, lying, and associating with terrorists. Under any other circumstances there is no way America would have supported the most radical and least qualified candidate for President in at least a century –IF- you, or any other Republican candidate, had given them more than what we got. I’m not saying it was all your fault, because there is a lot of fault in the management of this 2008 campaign, but quite simply, you and all your advisors blew it…… Why did you put so many of your marbles in the basket of a plumber from Ohio than in your own qualifications of a major-party candidate for President, Senator McCain? Barack Obama certainly didn’t have anything to write home about when it came to credentials for President. Why, why, why - or rather why not, why not, why not? I don’t know any more, and it’s too late to care.

There’s a cliché in football that says, “ the best offense is a good defense”, and having played the game, I know this to be true. But if you don’t have a good defense, which you and our beloved Republican party apparently don’t, then you better be able to score a lot of points, and in that regard, you have failed. Not only did you lose this election, John, so did America. I pray that I am wrong. But for the first time in my life I am taking a second look at the predictions of Nostradamus, and wondering if his “2012 timetable” might not be more than just fiction?! I hope God truly does bless America, because I think we are going to need all the help we can get!

Phil Hutson – a staunch Republican from Austin, Texas, and still proud to be an American!
