Pulling out all the Stops for Indiana

http://www.courierpress.com/news/2008/may/01/candidates-supporters-continue-barnstorm-state/

Well, I must say, even though I will not vote for either one of them, Barack and Hillary are pulling out all the stops. They are doing it all here in the good old state of Indiana. It is pretty cool to be honest with you. Having all these hollywood celebs (if you can call Ted Danson a celeb, and Sean astin, Sam From Lord of the Rings) singers, and political dignitaries. I for one did not go to the stadium to see Obama when he came. Neither did I go to see Hillary. I know what they are about. I don't want what they have to offer. I want someone in there with some balls (no offense to Hill). Someone who has been through rough times, someone who is a fighter. John McCain is my man. I know there are a lot out there that don't like him, but even if he is far from conservative, that is fine with me. He isn't a socialist, marxist left wing demo-nut. However. Bill O'Relly scoring an interview with Hillary last night, proves to Moveon.org that they don't have control over the party like they think they do. Not even their idle little threats to harm either candidate if they were to go on Fox News dissuaded Hillary. Now, Obama needs to go on there. These left wing jerks and thugs don't understand that they are a small fringe of the democratic party. There are lots of Reagen democrats and moderate democrats who watch fox, and they are only hurting themselves if they don't go on . Thanks Hillary, for having some balls, and standing up to these whacko's.

My last post about Obama still stands true. I do feel better about him now after he finally refudiated Jeremiah Wrong. The thing that concerns me though, is how he arrived at doing it. Why did it take for Wright to repeat, what it seems to me he has preached from him pulpit for 20 years, for Obama to finally distance himself. I don't get it. Barack, surely you knew after being there for 20 years, and sharing such a close relationship with this man. It was obvious you were emotionally distressed after you came out and threw him under the bus. He was close. A mentor. But now you say he was never your spiritual advisor, Not a mentor, just your pastor. But, if that is true, then why did you give him so much credit a year ago for your personal life and rise to fame? You spoke of him as a father. You even named your book after one of his sermons! I'm afraid all of this will result in a challenge of Obama's true character and judgement.

Also, One other thing that has been on my mind lately.....The way Wright threw Obama under the bus at the National Press Club interview, makes me kind of wonder. Was he somehow paid off by the Clinton's? I found this interesting picture and article while surfing the other night. Enjoy it. I just wonder why we haven't heard any questions about this possibility?
