Politics
I find it so interesting the 2008 Presidential election I mean. The Iowa Caucuses surprised a lot of folks with Mike Huckabee winning--Go Huck, and Barack Obama winning the democratic caucus. There was little talk about race when Barack was winning. Now that Hilary has won two states, all of a sudden Mr. Obama is playing the race card. I really truly do not get this. I consider myself a relatively unracist person but why is it that when things go someone's way, all is good, no racism is mentioned, and when things don't, if that person is a person of color, people play the race card. I personally think that both candidates have some strikes against them. Not because I think that someone black or female can't be president, but there are those that just won't vote for someone female or black. I cannot see myself voting for Hilary. But for ethical reasons and I don't like her politics. Same with Barack. A few years ago, I would have voted for Alan Keyes, but his candidacy didn't go far. There are those Americans who would never vote for someone female or black... But regardless I really don't get it how people play the race or gender card only when they lose an election. It astounds me really because I wonder, do they ever stop and think that maybe it is their politics? and not their race or their gender? It could be their morals and values or lack thereof? Could it be their policies, or their platform or their proposed solutions that people don't like or is it only a matter of race? When people don't like the outcome, they play the card rather than consider, just consider that maybe, just maybe it was something else. This political nonsense will continue on. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord and VOTE FOR HUCKABEE! WOOT WOOT

Mike Huckabee
For those of you who are watching the candidates, I would encourage you to do research on Mike Huckabee...He is awesome and the more I listen to him and read up on him the more I am convinced he is going to be the next president...
