O/T: I'm Confused

I'm confused.

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' 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 ( which you left Million in debt ), 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 and next in line behind a man in his eighth decade.
  • 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, and then left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you' re a true 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, a group led by a man who said he hated America.

OK, much clearer now.

Your problem is that you expect politics to be rational. Jim

When you buddy up with groups like ACORN, it's easy to register lots of voters, especially in Chicago. Never any voting irregularities there!

Do you get extra points for getting your campaign workers to work overtime disqualifying your opponents' petitions using some shady tactics? Any bonus for supporting the leader of one of the most corrupt counties in the country (Chicago's Cook County)? If he's elected president, it will be the first actually contested election he's ever won.

To say that he has represented my state of Illinois would be a stretch. He has missed 46% (that would be almost half) of all votes during his time in the Senate. Hard to be a leader when you're gone half the time. Don't give me that bull about how many bills he sponsored. So he got his name put on some bills and got the leadership to put him on some committees. That makes you a leader?

At least she has actual executive experience. Obama has *zero*

If you sat listening to what Rev. Wright had to say for 20 years and said nothing, you're right...you're not a real Christian.
