Dear Senator Hutchison: Shut Up and Fight the Good Fight


by: Michael Hurta

Thu Oct 15, 2009 at 07:10 AM CDT


Dear Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison,

You're at it again.  You're talking about the possibility of resigning and coming to Texas.  But you're not sure.  This month...December...Never?

Quite frankly, as your constituent, I do not care when you resign to fight Rick Perry.  All I know is that, after joking about job losses and covering up evidence that an innocent man was executed, the country is once again being presented with evidence that Texas has one of the worst governors in the country.  I will never support you for governor, but someone who aspires to replace one of the worst governors in history should fight him tooth and nail.

Instead, you are talking about fighting him tooth and nail.  If your worry is staying in the Senate to fight Health Care Reform, I guarantee you that as bad as Mr. Perry is, his temporary replacement will do that for you.  Besides, you aren't actually fighting it - you are talking about how your presence is important to fight it.  It isn't, especially with you sitting there idly.

Just set a date and stick to it.  It doesn't matter when, but you have told us you were going to resign for this battle.  Then, afterwards, shut up and fight the good fight.  Texans, Republicans and Democrats both, are folks of big action.  Right now, you're the opposite.  Right now, you are sitting and twiddling your thumbs.  

And you want to be Governor?  And you think you are doing a good job as our senior Senator?  Oh wait, that's right!  The best Senators and Governors twiddle their thumbs all day long!  I mean, Come ON!

Fight the Good Fight, please!  Yah, so what if I disagree with your fight?  Fight the fight or don't fight at all!

Thank you,
Your Constituent, Michael Hurta

Yup (0.00 / 0)
Why does she need to stay in the Senate to fight health care reform? What special ability does she bring to the task of voting 'No'?
