What I would like to say to him
Senator, to some of us, it has become abundantly clear that you are but a caricature of that brave soldier and man of principles. You have abandoned your principles in exchange for validation from people that don’t deserve to even voice an opinion…those Tea Baggers are unpatriotic and what they stand for is short of treason. But you laid your bed and now you have to sleep in it.
Sleep if you are able to reconcile your conscience with the abandonment of all the principles you once held dear. You were an unwavering patriot and a maverick indeed and always stood for fairness and common sense; 
now all of that is gone.
During the 2000 primaries I even had a lot of praise for your behavior and your solid character in the face of all the attacks coming from the Bush-Rove camp. They displaced you because you were a decent man and refused to sink to their level. You even showed some of that same fairness during this last Presidential campaign when that lady asked you about Obama being a Muslim and you set her straight.
I have never agreed with your political ideology but I did respect you and should you have been elected President I would have given you my unwavering support. Now you have become a shadow of yourself, a pathetic old man who is vacillating and ambiguous, contradicting even your own convictions for the sake of partisanship.
I don’t feel sorry for you any longer but I do wish that you took it upon yourself to look into your soul and reflect on what you have done and what you have become and then announce your retirement.
