Native Americans Against Obama?

As a loyal Republican and Native American, one can rightly assume that it has been a lonely road for me. One might say, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a Native American to vote Republican.

Naturally, I do not understand the disconnect. I have long maintained that the basic conservative values of freedom, economic development, and strong national defense are all ideas that resonate well with Native People.

Regardless, imagine my surprise to stumble upon the group "Native Americans Against Obama". While I am not privy to their numbers or agenda, as best I can tell, dissident parts of the Dems Native American caucus have opted to defect and support Sen. John McCain:

Granted, our long term goal is take back the party we all loved. The party of Roosevelt, and Kennedy. But now with only a few weeks left until November, we must work as hard for McCain as we did Hillary. This will ensure our future for the next four years, and then we can begin to rid this party, of the rats they have become...

While I think it is safe to assume that a majority of Native Americans probably do support Sen. Obama, it is worth noting that the group has an ambitious agenda. Suffice it to say, I wish them much success.  Welcome aboard the 'Straight Talk Express.'

On a personal level, knowing there are pockets of 'resistance' is heartening.
