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 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
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.


OK, much clearer now.

The really shocking thing is that it's all true.
  
It's Not about Palin

Let's stay focused for the next 45 days. It's not Obama vs. Palin it's Democrats vs. Republicans. If we continue to be distracted by Obama vs. Palin the Republicans will have us right where they want us. They Will Win. Let's show them that we will not be confused. Let's Demonstrate, Protest, Recruit, Campaign and Engage in legitimate battles with the Republicans but lets not continue to be distracted by Palin. That's what they want, ya know, they want us to be distracted so that they can hoodwink us all into another 8 years!
