Dear Pat,

I will never forgive you for running as a third party candidate and guaranteeing Clinton another term in office, but I have to say that I was wrong when it came to some of your other principles.  While I used to think you had gone off of the reservation, I was wrong on that as well. Continued...

You were dead on with immigration and NAFTA.  Mexico currently exports 933,000 vehicles to the US alone, while all of the US exports only 600,000 cars to the entire world, and most of those are to Canada.  What was supposed to be a win-win for the US has turned into a bloodbath in trade, and we should have listened to you.  That goes for immigration as well.

Your trade theories are just as you predicted.  We have exported enough jobs that it is a net loss, especially when considering the value of salaries.  China has $1.3 trillion in surplus dollars.  The Euro that was worth less than a dollar is now worth almost 2.  We are now under attack from foreign investment, with China leading the way, purchasing stakes in everything from our financial markets to our technology and defense contractors.  We are in heap um big trouble, and Bush couldn't be happier about it.

You warned us about Bush Sr.  The whole family is a bunch of globalist nuts, and they never should have been given power. 

While you were screaming that you were not a protectionist, we were screaming that you were, and at the end of the day, your policies would have protected us from the raping of the American landscape we are now seeing.  We should have listened to you.

You're still off base on a few issues, but I'm forced to wonder if it's not that you're wrong, just that I don't agree with you yet. 

Our nation is stuck in a black hole of politicks.  We don't need another third party candidate, but we do need some politicians who will listen to you.
