SEE NO EVIL McCAIN, SPEAK NO EVIL OBAMA AND HEAR NO EVIL CLINTON... Yeah, that's right!

I find it utterly fascinating that even though the website redblueamerica.com has, from what I have been told, come full circle and has moved on in another direction (kudos on that site by the way), my views are still causing bloggers to foam at the mouth and blast me personally.  How unfortunate. 

My last blog "Shame On You John McCain" really pushed some buttons leaving me feeling the heat just because my viewpoint did not resonate with some. Isn’t that why one blogs - to share opinions openly with others without attachment or crucifixion? I write it as I see it!  I’m just a simpleton among a world of educated journalists sharing another perspective.

To set the record straight, I commend Senator McCain for serving his country. I can’t begin to imagine the hell he went through as a POW. However, he may have been a great solider, but I don't trust him to run this country, nor do I agree with the way he wants to do things if elected as our next President.

Now with that said, I have been a Clinton supporter, nutcrackers and all from the onset, but even I have had enough of this rhetoric. I am truly politically taxed after this last primary and I too want this to end.  A good thing is only a good thing if it makes sense, and the only sense this campaign is making is horse sense.  I don't trust her.  I am finding the more she has campaigned the more questions I have, which has now led me down the road of doubt and confusion. To me, she is running her campaign on the throws of desperation.  This was her nomination to loose. You don't have to be a political rocket scientist to see that smug Obama will be the last nominee standing with his very hefty ego in tow. Sort of like the one his Pastor has been hauling around.  I guess the saying holds true... the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, and in this case, it is still hanging from the branch. I am wondering if Oprah had not stepped in when she had, would the name Obama mattered to any American? 

I started blogging a couple of weeks ago because I wanted to take part in the bigger picture instead of sitting watching the world go by like so many other Americans moo-ing to themselves and each other, oblivious to the reality of what is really going on in our world at large staying stuck in political dong.  I was tired of being hand fed what the media wanted to feed me via information from the NY Times, local papers, watching CNN, FOX, MSNBC, yadda, yadda, ya... So, I started voicing opinions to my tea-cup poodle and a few close media/radio associates and decided to take charge of my ‘rants’  and start walking my talk.  

In my first blog, "To Obama or Not Obama, That is the Question," I ended that post with, "for all I know, I know nothing" and received some nice feedback. That to me was as honest and true as I get.  I can be raw worded, quite outspoken and at times seem antagonistic, but it could be worse. You just never know... we may learn something along the way, given the opportunity to journey together for beneficial growth.  From my deepest core I believe that we do the best we can in any given moment or we would do better. Who wouldn't?  If my passion has appeared as anger, than I would as you to embrace the reflection and ask yourself what within you is so passionate that it comes off as anger, and why are you given me credit for pushing your buttons when it's your buttons that were already ignited long before our paths crossed.

In ending, I hate to have to regress to employ a cartoon as a reference, but I recently watched a very relevant episode of the vulgar cartoon South Park with my son. The episode informed the children of South Park of the importance of voting and to always vote regardless of the candidates; since it is always between a giant douche and a terd sandwich.  As crass as that sounds, there is much truth to it.   When you really think about it, they all feed us a bunch of what we want to hear anyway.  Then we turn around and we give them our votes, because at the end of the day we so much want to have something to hold onto and believe in at any cost, even if it is a bunch of crap we will believe it.
