I have never been more ashamed of a fellow Christian than as I have been with former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee. The former Republican contender for the presidential nomination proceeded to throw the conservative vote under the bus by bogging down former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney’s campaign with questions and criticism of his Mormon faith. With Romney’s chances dashed, conservatives lost and now we are stuck with choosing the lesser of two evils.

While your author will punch the card for Senator McCain, he cannot help to think about things like McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform or his filibustering clique known as the Gang of 14. However no doubt McCain will stand head and shoulders above either Senators Clinton or Obama.

Obviously one of McCain’s strong points, which the reader will be reminded of constantly, was his brave stay as a Vietnam POW from 1967-73. Senator Obama will have a tough time trying to counter that with his experiences of being raised by middle class white grandparents in Hawaii while attending private school. Senator Clinton’s unsubstantiated claims of experience in foreign policy will be overshadowed. The most recent gaffe being her role in the Bosnia war, which amounted to her and daughter Chelsea dining with the comedian Sinbad during a USO tour.

While Senator Clinton’s reputation is to gain at all costs, which will also include the destruction of the Democrat Party, Senator Obama shows he lacks any insight in personal judgement. For starters Senator Obama isn’t comfortable in his own skin. While he panders to black voter and attempts to reconnect with them, a connection that never existed, he throws his white grandmother under the bus by retelling a story of how she was nervous around certain black men and uttered racial stereotypes. Of course his grandmother, Mrs. Madelyn Dunham, has refused to grant interviews and these are merely claims made by Senator Obama.

While Senator Obama is quick to toss granny to the curb, he is quiet on his relationship with Bill Ayers. The mainstream media refuses to address this gem so your author felt a duty to the reader to inform them. Back in Chicago Senator Obama was a member of the Woods Fund along with Ayers. The group is a non-profit grant facilitator that funds programs for "under-privileged" and attempts to reduce racism (whatever that means). Bill Ayers is now an education professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. However back in the late 1960s and into the 70s Ayers was heavily involved in the left wing terrorist group known as the Weather Underground. Ayers was a rich kid from the posh Chicago suburb of Glen Ellyn, which is usually the typical background of a left wing extremist. The Underground was responsible for a series of bombings in San Francisco, Chicago and New York. Ayers has yet to publicly state regret for his involvement with the terrorist group and donated $2,000 to Obama’s senate campaign.

Then of course there is Obama the spiritualist and his spiritual mentor, the racist disguised as a preacher Rev. Jeremiah Wright from Chicago’s south side Trinity United Church of Christ. On any given day, since 1988, Obama was in Wright’s congregation taking in the anti-America and racists spew of Rev. Wright. Rev. Wright also had no qualms associating with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. Obama even had the preacher oversee his marriage and brought his children to listen to him. At the end of the day Obama felt compelled to donate $20,000 to Wright’s church then brought him along to be a part of his presidential campaign team. As of recent Rev. Wright is retired and the IRS are investigating Trinity United while Obama has removed his services from his campaign.

Senator Obama has already told the media and his supporters he will not disavow himself from Rev. Wright. He compares this to disavowing himself with the black community, a group he never knew during his formative years and only as a Chicago ‘community activist’ in his years after college. Senator Obama can no more relate to a certain segment of black voters than you or I but yet this is forgotten too. He has never been publicly asked about his association with Professor Ayers but yet offers up his grandma Dunham, the one who raised him, as a sacrificial lamb. Senator Obama by doing so you have demonstrated your callousness even to the most ignorant and blind self-professed liberal and supporter of your political fantasy.

Meanwhile your author could write a book on the faults and empty claims and rhetoric of Senator Clinton. One could describe her as a shill, carpetbagger, finger pointer and quite possibly the biggest con to ever set foot on the American political scene. These would all be fair descriptions against the claims of her accomplishments, which amount to nothing. Whether she is trying to rewrite history as it relates to her husband’s presidential tenure or attempting to state exaggerated claims, Mrs. Clinton does not enjoy the same coasting ride as Senator Obama. Her shellacking from vocal critics from within her own party and the media is long overdue. However this is obvious, one knows the bill of goods they buy when the name Clinton is stamped on it.

As Obama and Clinton battle it out, she won’t go quietly, the Democrat Party is at stake. Senator Clinton’s time has come but yet it has fizzled. How ironic is it that the ‘product’ of what her party endorses-the advancement of minorities, the social welfare of our society and the appeal to younger voters in a rock star celebrity form-has not only taken the wind from her sail but sunk her ship as well?

Senator McCain has it all on a silver platter. Either opponent will be tired and beaten down when they have to meet the POW who showed more courage in his big toe than either of these two combined could ever imagine. The meal has been cooked and sliced. Senator McCain take off the gloves and it is yours for the taking. There is no need for us to feed it to you. On second thought the lesser of two evils exist on the Democrat ticket.
