Dear Mitt:

I want to vote for you.  I really do.  I believe that your executive experience, both in the public and private sectors, makes you uniquely qualified to lead our nation out of this economic morass that we let ourselves be led into by progressives in both parties. 

But I'm afraid.  I'm afraid that you don't have the gravitas to jump into the ring and go toe-to-toe in a bloody slugfest with a dirty street fighter who will stop at nothing to get re-elected.

You see, you've said several times that President Obama is just "in over his head."  That implies that he's either stupid or incompetent.  Neither of which is true.  He knows exactly what he is doing.  He and his cabal are systematically going about the destruction of the United States of America with a distinct purpose.   He said he will "fundamentally transform The United States of America."  He is.

His plan is two-fold.  First, destroy our economy.  He is doing a masterful job of that, having incurred more than $5 trillion in debt in three years.  Unemployment has held steady at Depression-era numbers for more than two years and everything he does inhibits job creators from hiring.  With the help of the Federal Reserve, our money is fast becoming worthless.  In addition, he has done everything possible to deny the American people's access to domestic energy sources thereby insuring our dependence on our nation's enemies for our energy supplies and high prices for all goods and services.

Second, he wants a massive reduction in forces and to cut $1 trillion from our defense budget.  At a time of increasing hostility towards America, and enemies threatening us from all points on the globe, this is folly.  Unless, of course, you want America to become a third-rate military power and incapable of defending herself.

At best, Barack Obama is a socialist.  At worst, he is a communist.  But whatever he really is, he is out to take America down.  I believe that has always been his plan.  And he is succeeding.
