Is Republican Billy Long a Great American or Cowardly Lion?

As a concerned citizen, I see what both the republican party and the democratic parties have done to our great Republic. I am worried about the long-term effects of the Obama Pelosi agenda as well. I have only voted for Republicans since I was 18, but I think voting for Billy Long simply because he is a republican is irresponsible considering what our great Republic faces.

Billy Long needs to prove to Southwest Missouri he is ready to face the challenges that lie ahead for our great Republic to return her to all her glory. A two-word slogan isn't proof enough Billy Long has what it takes to do what is necessary in Washington, DC. Billy Long may be fed up, but being fed up doesn't offer real solutions to our country's woes.

That's why Billy Long should want to debate. If Billy Long loves our country like he says he does, then he should show his passion for the great City on the Hill and prove to voters he has what it takes to bring about positive change in DC through a political process that includes a deep analysis of his knowledge of the issues that face our Republic and have the solutions (if any) he offers not only picked apart by his opponent, but by the voters as well.

George Patton once said, "Americans love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle." However, Billy Long is running from the debates like a coward or a liberal hippie running to Canada to dodge the draft. Show us you are a true American Mr. Long who loves his country enough to let the voters have a clear examination of your political and moral soul. Give them the confidence that you understand what this country faces and you are the best choice to solve America's problems.

Running from the debates Mr. Long is not only unAmerican, it's cowardly.

If you really love your country Mr. Long, then you will give the voters a real chance to see who is most prepared to fight in Washington so our lives in Southwest Missouri can be improved and the health of country is restored. Anything less would be selfish on your part Mr. Long, especially at this time in our Republic's history. Mr. Long, you should love your country so much, that you aren't afraid to show your weaknesses in a debate, even if they mean you don't get elected, so our great Republic is benefited by sending that most qualified to Washington to fix all that is broken and return our country to its Constitutional origins.

From what I see, it appears that Mr. Long's own ambition for power and his own selfishness may be more important to Mr. Long than the voters he fails by running from the debates. Mr. Long hiding his lack of knowledge today will do little to help in Washington come January if elected. If Billy Long is afraid to scrap in his own backyard, then why do you trust him to fight the Obama Pelosi agenda?
