Jrichker, I have to check the ground wires and all but why would my starter be kicking over. Could the silenoid be crossed inside since I had the wires on backwards? I have the wires on right but the starter still tried to kick over and thats what I am confused about.

Check the solenoid according to the PM I sent you. Use a DVM or Ohmmeter to check the solenoid to make sure that the contacts aren't stuck together, making the starter run continuously

Ok ok ok, here is what I did. I finally replaced the starter and found the problem. I put the ground wire for the starter in the positive silenoid post. OPPS.... I grounded the wire, hooked everything up and what do you know, it started. Thanks for all the insite.
