Why do you love him?
I have a question for the masses. Why do you love him so much? Has he really sacrificed as much as you think? Does he carry a message down from the mountain that is any different or more ground-breaking than the rest? Does he really care and has he really always made the best choices? Is he really that perfect? Do you really want to risk following him, he who has yet to answer a straight question, who talks in parables and associates with questionable people. I know we all have been told by "them" that he has walked on water, and healed the sick and he fights for the poor and downtrodden but really??? I hear that certain journalists feel a shiver down their back when he speaks. But in today's world, with proof readily available on the internet and on 100s of television channels, how can you love him?

First I want to clarify, I am NOT speaking about Jesus, or Buda, or even Mohammad although to some my words would seem less blasphemous if I was. He speaks and is treated as if he is the secular messiah but has yet to perform even the most miniscule miracle in his chosen profession. Our nation has been involved in a Global War on Terrorism longer (three years longer) than this Golden Child has been a puppet of the far left working to undermine our nation for his and his masters own interests on the national stage. I refer of course to Senator Obama. I will give him the respect due to him as an United States Senator although not one elected from any constituency I am part of, Gracias a Dios. (See I can speak another language Senator, how about you? Or did you forget your nifty phrase book as you campaigned for all those French and German votes that will carry you during the election)

It seems to me that all one needs is a good speech writer that can scribe words that tell the masses what they want to hear, a good suit, the love of the press, and you will be ordained the second coming (for the first time). Please do not get me wrong, I do not see him as a black man, nor as a liberal. I wait for the day I can vote for a Michael Steele, or an Alan Keyes just as much as I hope to vote for an Elizabeth Dole, or a Mitt Romney. And I profess to sit in the conservative camp, I have not always voted for Republicans and not always against Democrats. Back when we suffered through eight years of President Clinton, I did not agree with everything he did or believed, I did not appreciate having our nation sold out to China, nor our illegal campaign of aggression against poor Serbia, but at least he had a message. At least we knew where he stood (well on many issues if not all…). This one is different. I still make an effort to listen to the ramble… uh I mean speeches for some kind of message. This one never makes a point. What does he stand for? What does he stand on, if not the backs of those who brought him to where he finds himself now? He may very well be the devil in a nice suit. Again I ask why do you love him so? Give me five things he has accomplished in office. Ok give me three things?... how about one? Sure he voted against Iraq, well for one he lost that vote, so that is not an accomplishment. And I for one agree with our actions there. And is it a special character trait to not be able to admit he was and is wrong. How stubborn do we want our leaders to be? Why will he not admit he was wrong about the surge? And if he absolutely cannot admit he was wrong (is it a political decision or one of misguided morality?) then why does he not just shut up so he does not continue to put himself in the position of still being wrong about the General Petraus'. Speaking of Iraq, why is it ok for a whole nation to suffer while we live free? Sen Obama's work against the war is to me treason against the citizenry of the word that he claims to be part of.

I too have a dream but my dream is more of a nightmare. I do fear that the "presumptive nominee for the Democratic party" may be our next president. I fear that we will then find that we have elected an empty suit and a large catalog of superbly crafted speeches and nothing else. I fear that the day President Bush drives off the White House property with U-Haul in tow we will find the truth will be like a punch in the mouth. We will destroy ourselves by electing someone solely because he is black, or because he promised to "change" (change what I still do not know), or he sent a shiver up some old white man's leg when he spoke, or for any number of promises he made to any number of special interest groups.

On election day I will vote, and I will vote for McCain, he would not have been my first choice, but he is now my champion. My vote may not be the deciding ballot, but at least it will cancel out a vote from an Iraq-war hating swooning lover of everything that is French, journalist that is an active member of Green Peace and believes that the polar icecaps are melting faster than a the headliner at your local strip club can take her top off.

Please vote for Nader or Barr if you want to vote for change.
