WHY YOU NEED TO MEET THE REAL JOHN McCAIN

(A message from Charlotte Thomson
Iserbyt, Sr. Policy Advisor,    U.S. Dept. of Education during
the Reagan Administration)

As a delegate to our state
convention this coming weekend we have a solemn obligation to know the
truth about the man who has been anointed the “presumptive nominee”
of our party.  Our job is not to be a rubber stamp for anyone
else’s agenda, no matter how “nobly” the cause is presented.
The Republican establishment in Maine is counting on us not having the
documented information on this sheet.  It is counting on our willingness
to be told what to think in the same way that the mainstream media has
been telling us what to think throughout this entire election cycle.
We are expected to suspend any other concerns we may have in the name
of “party unity.”

The truth is that a patriot
who loves his country makes it an ultimate priority to be well-educated
about the decisions he or she must make.  Unless we have come to
understand how dominated by the leftist military-industrial complex
America’s major media has become, and done some research, we are not
prepared to do our duty at the convention.

This letter, supported by many
delegates to the Republican Convention, is literally about saving the
party and the nation from a maniacal neoconservative war monger, who
supports a United States presence in Iraq for 100 years, and who is
not really even a Republican!

“War hero” image is a media
creation not supported by the facts

McCain graduated 894th
of the 899 cadets in his class at the Naval Academy.  Google it.
Why would we want someone who was a failure and took his responsibilities
so flippantly as our commander-in-chief?

• McCain was an irresponsible
  pilot who crashed 6 planes, and started a major fire on an aircraft
  carrier through negligent action. Why would we want someone this reckless
  in the most-important office on the planet?

• McCain collaborated
  with the enemy, was given “soft” treatment because his father was
  an admiral, and is known as “Songbird McCain” by those who were
  imprisoned with him. (http://vietnamveteransagainstmccain.com)   He is the MIA/POW family’s
  worst enemy for his constant attempts to belittle their concerns and
  stifle their inquiries while serving in the Senate.

McCain ditched his ill wife
to marry an heiress when he returned from Vietnam

Is this the type of morality
we Republicans condone?  Is this type of heinous lack of loyalty
we want in a President?  He also has a track record of shocking
verbal abuse, including screaming profanities against his Senate Republican
colleagues.   Senator Thad Cochran, MS, says “The thought of
his being President sends a cold chill down my spine.”  Other
Senators relate times when McCain screamed four-letter obscenities right
in their faces in the Senate cloak room, like Dick Shelby, Rick Santorum
or Jim Imhofe.  “The man is unhinged,” one senator said.
“He is frighteningly unfit to be commander-in-chief.”

The truth is, John McCain is
not even a Republican.  He is a phony stalking horse who is a liberal
in disguise. He not only can’t win this fall because he is so out
of step with the majority of Americans and  with the principled
stands of Republicanism, but if we support this person for our nominee,
he will likely destroy our party.  Consider:

• He was intimately
  involved in the “Keating 5” Savings & Loan scandal.

• He has been endorsed
  by the liberal/leftist New York Times.

• He is a big advocate
  of the extreme “green” global warming scare, and the economically
  horrific “solutions” being proposed by people like Al Gore.

• He has promoted
  illegal amnesty for millions of illegal aliens.

• His McCain-Feingold
  Bill has destroyed much of the rights of people to take part in the
  political process the way they see fit.  This bill remains un-Constitutional
  and a major affront to the First Amendment protections on the right
  of free speech.

• He is a big-time
  gun grabber who is an extreme advocate of restrictions on  2nd
  Amendment rights.

• He opposes repeal
  of Roe v. Wade, and opposes a Constitutional amendment to protect all
  life.

• He is no fiscal
  conservative, and he supports raising taxes on Social Security benefits.

• He continues his
  aggressive support for the Iraq War, which costs the U.S. taxpayer $12
  billion a month, even though only 34% of Americans support the war.
  (According to Paul Craig Roberts, Asst. Secretary of the Treasury in
  the Reagan Administration, and vocal opponent of the Iraq War:
  4,538 Americans have died in the war, 29,780 have been wounded, 300,000
  soldiers are suffering from major depression, and 320,000 received brain
  injuries, all as a result of this unconstitutional and immoral war.)

We
will hear much about “unity” at the Maine State Convention.
However, it is very important that we understand that to unify behind
this man is tantamount to nominating a Democrat. We can vote our consciences
or abstain from voting.

John McCain did poorly in our
Maine caucuses.  By most estimates he got fewer than 20% of the
delegates to the State Convention coming out of our caucuses and was
soundly trounced by both Romney and Texas Congressman Ron Paul.
McCain did not win a single county in the straw poll, with 15 counties
going to Romney and one (Aroostook) going to Dr. Paul. McCain has little
support nationally…there are never huge rallies for McCain, unless
people are paid to show up.  In short, he is a media creation and
the darling of the Trotskyite neoconservative warmongers who have hijacked
our party.  He does not support our own platform!

Former Romney supporters who
receive this info sheet DO NOT have to follow the “uncalled
for” advice of the Massachusetts governor that you go over
the cliff with support for this unstable man.

DO NOT ALLOW YOURSELF OR
YOUR VOTE TO BE PROSTITUTED IN THE NAME OF PARTY UNITY.  PUT YOUR
COUNTRY FIRST!

Thank you for taking
the time to read this letter and for being such an
important part of our representative form of government
– the envy of the world!
