I Refuse To Let The Blind Man Drive The Bus.

Given the results of the Indiana and NC primaries, the sad reality has dawned on me that Hillary may not win the nomination. My support for her remains as strong as ever. However, that it's just become a little bit more challenging for her to win cannot be ignored.

Of course, this means I have to think about Obama as the nominee. While I've dreaded this thought for so many months, I can no longer push it aside.

To me, Obama represents a group of "Democrats" that have lost touch with real issues having an impact on Americans. They sit there, feeling superior, trying to tell me that Obama winning somehow eradicates slavery from our history. Call me crazy, but I didn't know that this is what presidential elections were about.

This election has NOTHING to do with slavery. This election is about saving this country from slipping from a super power to much, much less. This is a crucial time in our history when we need a leader who loves this country enough to save it. Obama has none of this love for America. I do.

The Wright comments paint a picture of Obama that his supporters see very clearly. Pundits go on the air and try to sell us some bullshit comments that somehow Obama is exonerated because "he didn't say it, Wright did."

And in what book is it that I can follow a spirtual leader for 20 years and not have people judge me by the company I keep? Since when?

We all know that this sheer nonsense. While they will NOT admit it, these people AGREE with Wright and by extension, they also agree with Obama. America is a bad country. America is evil. America made AIDS. America deserved 9/11. Innocent Americans deserved to die and be incinerated to death just because they went to work that morning. But they don't have the balls to say it. Neither does Obama. But none of them are fooling me.

Obama's "change" will usher in an era of an America that seeks to be weak. An America that loves terrorists. An America so far removed from common sense that it makes my head spin.

And while so many feel that this election is about slavery and race and making America better because of our ugly history, I beg to differ.

While slavery was awful and ugly, wasn't it AMERICANS that ABOLISHED slavery? Did not many whites die to free the slaves? Hello! Why is everyone neglecting that? Oh, it's because it's cool to bash America and hate it, that's why.

I always knew there were many idiots in America, but I never knew that there were so many willing to let the blind man drive the bus.

I cannot and will not vote for a man that has so little experience for the top job. And there is nothing about Obama that tells me he is somehow magically qualified to be some great leader when he has no real track record for me to judge. It's reckless and it defies common sense.

Back to that bus business. If there were a blind man behind the wheel, would you get on that bus? Would you feel safe with him behind the wheel? I wouldn't. The best choice to make when put in such a position is to not the let blind man drive the bus in the first place.

And since this is how I feel about Obama, I am left no choice but to vote for John McCain. Yes, after 8 years of praying for a Democrat to take over, this is where my party has put me. Where I have to watch Fox News and Bill O'Reilly to get fair coverage on this election, because others are so in the tank for Obama that it sickens me and the sound of their voices feels like torture.

They say that 40% of Hillary's supporters will vote for McCain if she is not the nominee. I think it's more than that. Apparently, I am not alone in my refusal to let the blind man drive that bus. Thank God for that. And four years of McCain may not be what I wanted, but it sure as hell beats the hell out of playing Russian roulette with the future of this country.
