This is a memo to John McCain.

John, my friend, it's over.  It's over.

You have now two choices. One will preserve your future legacy to be something positive.  The other will permanently enshrine for posterity your absolutely horrific, value-less, distasteful, dishonorable campaign as our lasting and final memory of you.

Which do you want your legacy to be?

Do you want to be remembered as a honorable soldier who actually lived with values? Some who will be respected for his sacrifice and his servie, for his loyalty to his country and his decency as a human being?  You can turn it around.  You can stop this disgusting excuse you call a campaign.  Talk straight with the American people. Stop lying. Stop making stuff up and stretching the truth to ridiculous levels to make an insensible, irrelevant point that affects noone. Pay attention to what Americans want. Care about your fellow citizens. Listen.  Respect us.  Run, for the four weeks you have left, a decent campaign with integrity. You will not win. But like the Olympics, sometimes it's not only about winning.   For you, at any rate, understand it is no longer about winning. It is only about how history will remember you.

Should you continue down the path you are on, understand this.  History will not judge you kindly.  Even if nothing happens between now and the election, history will not judge you kindly.   You will have no honor (and you claim to value that word), no integrity, no followers who quote you with worship in campaigns down the road by our future generations.

It's your choice, John, my friend.  Just between you, me and American posterity. 

It's over.
