I'm a little confused
I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have
this straight.....
If you grow up in Hawaii, are raised by your
grandparents, you're 'exotic' and 'different.' If you grow up in Alaska eating
mooseburgers, you are the quintessential American story.
If your name is
Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim. If you name your kids Willow, Trig
and Track, you're a maverick.
If you graduate from Harvard law
School, you are unstable.·If you attend five different small colleges before
graduating, you're well grounded.
If you spend three years as a
community organizer, become the first black editor of the Harvard Law Review,
create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend
twelve years as a constitutional law professor, spend eight years as a state
senator representing a district with more than 750,000 people, become chairman
of your state senate's Health and Human Services Committee, spend four years in
the United States Senate representing a state of thirteen million people while
sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment, Public
Works and Veterans Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership
experience.
If your total resume consists of local weatherman, four
years on the city council and six years as the mayor of a town with fewer than
7,000 people, twenty 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 nineteen
years while raising two daughters, all within protestant churches, you're not a
real Christian.
If you cheated on your
first wife (with a rich heiress) and subsequently left your disfigured wife and
married the heiress the following 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,' and dismiss the instruction of all other
sex education options in your state's school system, and then your unwed,
teenage daughter becomes 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, who 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,' possesses at least one DWI conviction and no college
education, didn't register to vote until age 25 and was once a member of a group
advocating the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely
admirable.
OK, much clearer now.
btw, I'm not undecided, I'm voting for Obama but I just had to post this.
