Confused..what is going on??

[Peacetrain]

I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight.....

If you grow up in Hawaii , raised by your grandparents, you're 'exotic, different.'
Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, 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 over 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 sportscaster, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the part time mayor of a town with less 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 you're 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.

OK, much clearer now.

1. Before you forward it, change the "local weather girl" to "local sportscaster".

She wasn't a weather girl.

2. In order to think like a Republican, Step One: Remove 25% of your brain

And if that does not clarify the message, repeat step one.

6. Let's keep in mind . . . despite Palin's opinion to the contrary . . .

She's not at the top of the ticket. This is Obama vs McCain.

McCain is unqualified to be president for reasons of an explosive temperament, dishonesty, inconsistency, and embrace of policies proven to be dysfunctional; Obama is qualified by superior intellect, a real grounding in American life, broad experience, and the charisma needed to lead.

Obama is backed by a rock-solid partner who could be president in his own right; McCain is backed by an unsophisticated, arrogant, abusive wacko who is profoundly ignorant of everything outside her own bubble. And whose selection throws McCain's decision-making deficiencies into high relief.

This is an Obama-McCain battle. Ultimately, people are not voting for Biden or Palin. We do ourselves no favors by building Palin up, even by making her appear more of a gorgon than she is in fact.
