An open letter to thr Republican National Committee

Dear RNC,
    Yesterday, I recieved a very well thought out flyer from my county supervisor of elections, inviting me to come and vote in the Republican primary next week. This raises a huge problem for me. I need to vote in order to demonstrate to my teenage daughter, that, we can still have faith in our political process.
    However I see no viable choices on the list they sent me to think about. Isn't that kind of ridiculous? This should be your year! The incumbent has for the most part been a do nothing President who will take credit for things he didn't do, like getting us out of Iraq (following a plan set down by his predecessor's administration) or the economic recover (no President should ever be allowed to take credit or blame for the economy and if you look at his record he hasn't even made a single move to change the economic circumstances we are in.
    He did manage to pass a health care reform bill, during his "honeymoon" days, which is slowly revealing itself to be one of the most onerous pieces of legislation ever. Beyond taxing people for not having health insurance, it was revealed last week that it can dictate terms to religious organizations for instance even though the Catholic church doesn't believe in birth control it must offer to pay for it for its employees through insurance. How that is not a violation of church and state separation, I will never know.
    But you blew it, your offering nothing, windbags knifing each other over non-ideas. If this is the best you can do then please for America's sake do what's right. Disband the Republican party and urge the democrats to follow your example. You won't though and that's okay, do what you want. As for me I am voting for the Bull Moose party this year.
