An email for our side
===============================
* If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're
"exotic, different."

* Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, and you're a quintessential American
story.

===============================
* If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.

* Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a maverick.

===============================
* Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.

* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well
grounded.

===============================
* If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the
first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter
registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years
as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator
representing a district with more tnan 750,000 people, become
chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee,
spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13
million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign
Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs
committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.

* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city
council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with fewer than 7,000
people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000
people, then you're qualified to become the country's second highest
ranking executive.

===============================
* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while
raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches,
you're not a real Christian.

* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left
your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month,
you're a Christian.

===============================
* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including
the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of
society.

* If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no
other option in sex education in your state's school system while
your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible.

===============================
* If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in
a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city
community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values
don't represent America's. *



If your husband is nicknamed "First Dude," with at
least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn't
register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that
advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is
extremely admirable.

3. Yeah
And each time it does, I want to growl: "She was NEVER a 'weather girl'...she was a SPORTSCASTER.'"

Something wrong with that.

4. Please enlighten me
I am taken aback that you are offended by this post. I see it as an interesting take on spin. Did you understand the email? What, exactly
is my "type" of poster? I am curious.
