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'
and 'different.'
Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, you're an American story.
If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, and you're a maverick.
Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, then you're well-
grounded.
If you spend 3 years as a community organizer, become the first black
President of the Harvard Law Review, help register 150,000 new voters,
spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, 8 years as a State
Senator of a district of 750,000 people, chair the state Senate's
Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United
States Senate representing a state of 13 million people, sponsor 131
bills, and serve on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works,
and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership
experience.
If your resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city
council and 6 years as the mayor of a town of 7,000 people, 2 years as
governor of a state of 650,000 people, you're qualified to be a
heartbeat away from the presidency.
If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising
2 daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real
Christian.
If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, left your ill
wife, and married the heiress the next month, you're a Christian.
If you teach responsible, age-appropriate sex education, including the
use of birth control, you erode the fiber of American society.
If you staunchly advocate abstinence-only education, while your teen
daughter ends up pregnant, you're 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, you don't represent
America's family values.
If your husband is called 'First Dude', has a DWI conviction, didn't
register to vote until 25, and was a member of a group that advocated
secession of Alaska from the USA, yours is the quintessential American
family.
And, finally, if you're famous for your quick temper, you're the one
to have your finger on the red nuclear button.
OK, much clearer now.
We MUST expose the hypocrisy of the McCain campaign
- share this with everyone!
