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 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 DUI 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.

awesome,Wyld...

Oh yeah, it's got to be the weather girl thing that was the deciding factor.

Careful Wyld! you are treading on dangerous ground! You are mixing in actual facts with your spin! Facts have no place in spinning politics! Don't you have a copy of the Karl Rove playbook? It's downright unAmerican(thesedays) to confust the electorate with.......gulp......FACTS!!!!

You don't need a weathergirl to know which way the wind blows. And besides, I'll bet she got it wrong most of the time anyway. She thought it always blew in from the right.

Excellent post, Wyldflower. Can it be borrowed and spread around with full credit to you?

By all means, spread it around. It didn't originate with me...it was forwarded to me through several different people, so I guess it's public domain.

But, Wyld, you're forgetting the vast edge she has in knowledge of foreign affairs because Alaska is right next to Russia. Hmmm, it's so close to Russia, I wonder if she's really a pinko.

Didn't Ronald Reagan say that government wasn't the solution, but the problem? Guess that doesn't apply when these financial giants need a
bailout.

It's been said that a liberal becomes conservative after he's been mugged. Similarly, a free-market capitalist swings way to the left when it's his ass and his money on the line in a market meltdown.
