Biggotry in this campaign.

Nine days to the election--the race factor doesnt seem to be an issue. I find it crazy, and I am more than proud that our country has moved past some of his prejudices to elect the first African American President.

I remember when I was 13, a teacher said, "That a lot will have to happen for a black President to be elected. It probably wont happen for a long time." I really agreed with her at 13, and I believe we are more than adeaquately ready for America to have it's first African American President.

All across the nation we are seeing a shift in national opinion and the walls are coming down. In Virginia, a state that 200 years ago--was famous for it's slave trade-- is now leaning towards electing Barack Obama.

In the 4th district of Colorado, a solid Republican district (Dobson's territory) we are seeing that it's looking more blue.

Everywhere across the nation, people are looking towards Barack Obama as an instrument of change.

That seems to be everywhere--except here.

A State that has been Democratic in the past, has been gerry mandered, has been metaphorically slammed into being a red state. Have we forgotten that this state--had solid Democrat governors--up until Bush--such as Ann Richards.

As the state of Lyndon B. Johnson, and other Democrats--it baffles me why our heritage has been lost.

People here refuse to vote for Barack Obama for the most ridicilous reasons. And one of the biggest reasons is that, he is 'black'.
Another big reason, is that people falsely believe that he is a 'muslim'.

Now, I have made race a big topic of this blog--but I love Obama not because of his color. I love him because of his message, his resolve and his plan for the nation. It wouldnt matter if he were white, black, red, or yellow-- he would still resonate as a strong leader.

As for the muslim issue--He is not a muslim. But if he were, what would be wrong with that? Would him being muslim keep him from being an effective leader? NO. He would still be a strong leader, regardless!!!! I laugh at the stupidity and sheer ignorance of people to use that as their issue for hating him.

Texas is still stuck in the 60's. A lot of people that the externals, effect the character of a man. What should matter is what's inside Barack's message.

If you dont like Barack because of his issues, than fine. But dislike him for this. Dont dislike him because he has a funny name...or because you think he is a muslim....
