GOP Tricket...a Bit Difficult to Swallow.

This is what the GOP is asking you to believe:

"I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight.....

  • Grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents: you're "exotic, different".
  • Grow up in Alaska, eating mooseburgers: a quintessential American story.

  • 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: you are unstable.
  • Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating: you're well grounded.

  • 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.
  • 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: you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive.
  • 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.
  • 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.

  • 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.
OK, much clearer now."

If you actually believe the GOP's crap: you need to read more or, perhaps, go back to school.
