The Honorable Ed Gillespie
Chairman of the Republican Party-

"John Kerry is a far left duckling that hopes to emerge from his convention as a center swan." So says yourself on the new website- www.demsextrememakover.com to criticize Kerry and Edwards for this.

Ralph Zallow writes in the July 16th Washington Times "More than half the Republicans in the House have signed a formal complaint to President Bush about the failure to give prominent conservative, pro-life party members even one prime-time speaking role at the Republican National Convention."

Of course, now they have added more speakers who are pro-life such as my buddy Rick Santorum. I am hoping he will enumerate on accepted "traditional" sexual practices- set your TiVo if that happens! If he had charts and graphs (or, can I even hope, pictures!) this might boost ratings.

Please advise as to:

1) Is not the initial speakers list for your convention certainly more disengenuous in that none of them agree with President Bush on the fundamental issues of abortion rights and gay marriage?

2) As to changing the speakers in response to pressure- is this not a "flip-flop"? Is not this, ironically, what your website is accusing John Kerry of attempting to do himself?

I look forward to your response and I assure you I will post it verbatim on my blog. (shameless plug) scottlstuart.blogspot.com

Sincerely,
