I suppose that most everyone heard Senator Obama’s cheap shot at Sarah Palin when he talked about “lipstick on a pig”.  Have you also heard that old saying that you should never wrestle with a pig?  Why?  Well, both you and the pig get muddy… and the pig enjoys it.  Well John McCain never wrestled with a pig.  Was he afraid, or he just didn’t want to get muddy?  I don’t understand why and I am disgusted that he didn’t show more fire.

Talk show host Michael Savage had the same opinion.  Sure he was impressed with John McCains energy as we all were.  But then he, like I, was disgusted in McCains performance.  In fact, in the few times I would listen to Savage, I often heard him refer to McCain as the “fall guy”.  What did he mean by that?  Well, in a boxing match that is “fixed” and the outcome is determined before the match begins there is a “fall guy” that will lose so that certain people can get a payout.  Savage saw McCain as the fall guy because he saw McCain dancing around the ring and not throwing any punches.  John McCain had a VERY weak performance.  With the gaffes from Barack Obama and the shocking revelations that we had to dig out and expose to the light (with no help from the news media), a stronger candidate like Mitt Romney should have had a twenty point lead at this time.

Can you imagine the strength and momentum of a Mitt Romney, Kay Bailey Hutchison or a Romney, Palin, or a Mitt Romney, Clarence Thomas ticket?  Would Lynn Swann or Michael Steele have been good considerations for the Vice President?  I don’t know enough about their positions and their politics to say whether they would be good choices.  And we don’t have to use Affirmative Action to choose our leaders.  But thank God for Sarah Palin.  She is the only positive in this race.  It seems that this is the year that America wants to see a female or a minority in the ticket.  Palin was the correct pick for McCain since she as a female, she fills that want.  Also, she provides some counter balance to McCain as a solid conservative and energizes that conservative constituency that had no desire to back McCain.

I was disgusted with McCain’s run.  He held back too many punches.  The country and the world needed to be educated about Barack Obama.  The differences between McCain and Obama needed to be laid out more clearly.  And McCain was one of the only people who could have put that message out there.  The press is not doing it.  McCain was our voice and he didn’t open his mouth.  The press was silent on Obama where it really mattered.  McCain had the audience during at least three debates.  And after each debate ended, I was down and deeply disappointed.  If Obama wins, the conservative voice will be silenced.  I kept looking for McCain to figuratively throw that right hook to the jawbown of Obama.   But very few punches landed.  Everything bounced off Obama.  Obama didn’t break a sweat.  If Obama is the winner because of it, could it ever be here like it was in the Soviet Union or in Iraq where people didn’t dare to speak anything critical against a certain leader or party because someone might be listening and turn them in to the authorities?  I hope it will never come to that. But Obama and his supporters have shown several times during this race that they are using bully tactics to silence opposition.

In summary, if John McCain is going to win the presidency, we are going to have to literally PUSH him across the finish line on election day.  Fear will be a partial motivator to get us out on election day and many of us will be voting AGAINST a candidate, not FOR a candidate.  You all can see by my past postings that I had no desire whatsoever to see McCain as the Republican nominee.  But I have to get behind him and push like every Republican, conservative, or freedom loving American in this country.  God help us this week.  Even if McCain wins, although I will be rejoicing, I will also be very alert and fearful for the erruption that will break out on this country in the coming days.
