As it is most likely you will be the Republican nominee for President and I will be the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in New Jersey, I have one really big favor to ask of you: STOP trying to convince the American people you are right on our involvement in Iraq's Civil War. I have made it abundantly clear when I am elected to the United States Senate I will do everything within my powers to bring all the combat troops home from Iraq by September 2010 (2 ½ years from now), irrespective of who occupies the Oval Office. I will agree to disagree with you on this very important issue.

Let's have some straight talk my friend: I am not going to convince you that your position is wrong and you are not going to convince 75% of New Jersey voters you are right. One rule of thumb my parents taught me was the first thing to do when you are digging a hole for yourself - stop digging. I am sure you will continue to be asked about your position on Iraq and I am not suggesting for you to not answer the question. But instead of giving platitudes like you "want to win the war" or if we exit now "we are retreating", try offering to the American people YOUR exit strategy and the tactics to accomplish that strategy. As a great military hero you know all successful military plans have an exit strategy - that is what Americans want to hear, not gaffes like your infamous "100 years in Iraq" statement.

I am still confused how Senator Barack Obama has a more traditional Republican foreign policy than you do (i.e., no nation-building, no pre-emptive attacks) but I will leave that for another conversation.

As recent polls in New Jersey and across America show you are dragging down the rest of the Republican ticket. In New Jersey you are now trailing the presumptive Democratic-nominee, Senator Obama 56% to 32% (Monmouth University poll) and 48% to 40% (Bergen Record poll). The Monmouth University poll gave you a 39% favorable to 45% unfavorable opinion - I am no political scientist, but those are not good numbers. Nationally, the picture looks equally weak.

As the likely Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate in New Jersey, part of my responsibility will be to lead the Republican Party in New Jersey and protect the Congressional and local candidates from a Democratic rout come November. Hence, my message to you today.

In order to win back those "Reagan Democrats" you must focus your campaign on kitchen table issues. This is why I have proposed The Sabrin Solution which is a simple three point plan to communicate: 1) secure our borders from foreign terrorists and illegal immigrants, 2) secure our economic well-being by getting government off our backs and out of our wallets, and 3) secure our children's well-being by increasing choice in education and increasing our liberties and freedoms. This was Ronald Reagan's message, this is my message to New Jersey voters and I strongly believe this can be a winning message for your campaign. My message to Legalize Freedom is resonating with voters which is why I am the frontrunner to take on the extremely liberal Frank Lautenberg in November.

Stop with the silly gimmicks like eliminating the gas tax for three months - you don't need to be a Ph.D. in economics (I have a Ph.D. in economic geography from Rutgers) to know this will have little, if any positive impact on the economy. As a matter of fact, a very good argument can be made your plan will have a negative impact because it will have a minimal positive impact on working Americans while increasing the deficit without offsetting spending (I think I heard that from you back during the first Bush tax cuts). You lose credibility with the American voters when you offer such economic gimmicks.

The American tax-payer wants you to fight for them and when they see the Federal Reserve give a $30 billion bail out to Wall Street and you remain silent they become suspect. Silence is approval and a good fiscal conservative would never approve such a transaction. Fight for Main Street, fight for the middle class, and fight for our freedoms - those are the qualities Americans are looking for in their next President. You can see more about my efforts to correct our failed monetary policy by visiting my website MurraySabrin.com.

If you don't heed my advice, not only will you lose in November, but you will take the Republican Party down with you. It will be my job to make sure the "Obama Tsunami" doesn't wash ashore the Jersey coast in November.

In Liberty,
Murray Sabrin, Ph.D.
Republican candidate for United States Senate in New Jersey

There are more real Conservatives out there, other than Dr. Paul.

I was wondering when another one of them would fire a shot off McCains bow.

End the war!!! McCain must not win!!!

and who do you propose

neither of the democrats is going to end the war either

The war will go on whether or not we leave now. If we leave it will just spread, first to neighboring regions then to Europe and here.

duh

Yeah so let's elect a Democrat!

Oh wait...

Not

How in the heck do you propose it's going to do that?
Europe, they might have some problems because of their high muslim populations, but all out war? and here too?



I say I think thats B.S.!
