Expose the Hypocrisy of the McCain Campaign

I'm frankly quite tired of Sarah Palin's constant sarcastic attacks on Barack Obama. Who is she, really, in comparison? He is so intelligent, so classy, so grounded - and just seems to be a natural leader. This was sent to me awhile back. I'm not sure who the original author was, but it is good and puts it into words very well:

"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 five different small colleges before graduating, then you're well-grounded.

If you spend three years as a community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, help register 150,000 new voters, spend twelve years as a Constitutional Law professor, eight years as a State Senator of a district of 750,000 people, chair the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend four years in the United States Senate representing a state of thirteen 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, four years on the city council and six years as the mayor of a town of 7,000 people, two 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 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, 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 twenty-five, 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." ...Enough said.
