Obama vs. Palin-McCain (the way she says it, Palin first)

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 moose
burgers,-- 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
weather girl, 4 years on the city
council and 6 years as the 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
heiress Cindy 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.

OK, much clearer now.
