Mr. John McCain
241 Harte Senate Office Building
I read this morning that senate Republicans were going to insist on a time table that would stipulate our withdrawal from Iraq. I am so angry I could spit nails.
We elected you guys to office in order to get domestic spending under control. You’ve only added to the entitlements that already burden our country. I am a senior citizen and I do not thank you for the way in which you are attempting to buy my vote by finding more ways to spend money. That’s what the Democrats did for 50 years. I had high hopes that you guys would not sell out. That you could stand on principle. I was wrong.
You spend your time passing useless, campaign finance laws that only exacerbate the problem.. You want us to believe you are principled. You’re not. You spend time investigating corporations because they are making too much money. You need to be investigating yourselves greedy, unprincipled ways you spend our precious tax dollars.
Now, rather than concentrate on what you are committed to do, you are sticking your nose into what the military is doing. Neither the president nor you should be talking time tables. The president said, “As long as it takes,” and that’s what we voted for. That’s why we re-elected him. That’s why we re-elected all of you, and now you are bending to pressure and once again, not standing on principle. You and the president should be concentrating on giving the military the latitude to get the job done, not turning this conflict into another Vietnam, a war run by politicians who are intent on only one thing: getting re-elected.
I wish for once you could think of the good of the country rather than the next election. Just one. I am sorely disappointed and don’t know which way to turn. Is it truly hopeless?
Not very truly yours,
Cora Lee Schingnitz
