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'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.
@Bi-Polar Bear,
Don't forget to add that Sarah Palin was once a TV sports reporter, which is why she performs so well on TV. That will be really handy for a V.P.

Yep you got that pretty much right..
@Bi-Polar Bear,
Excellent summary which tells it like it is in America.
Wait; there's something wrong with this picture. The guy with the immaculate background is the guy who pals around with terrorists, and doesn't have enough "experience" for the top office of our country.
Harvard Law Review vs 5 colleges; what a comparison!
@Bi-Polar Bear,
I'm glad you got that through that thick skull of yours.
@patiodog,
please don't patronize me...I don't need to be an Obama fan to recognize that any piece of **** is a better candidate than mccain palin... and although I don't consider obama a piece of **** I still don't think he's the best person that could have been elected.
@Bi-Polar Bear,
**** off, bear. I'm making a damn joke.
The only candidate I've ever promoted on these boards has been Kucinich, for **** sake.
@Bi-Polar Bear,
Basic premise: "If you're a mediocre dipshit, you're more qualified to be president than some jerk who, like, went to fancy schools and had big goals and reached them."
My response: I'm glad you finally get that.
Cynical, see. If you can show me somewhere I've towed the "Obama's the savior" line, I'll eat out my dog's asshole.

especially when you have your first child "
nearly 8 months after getting married" to the first dude.
not something that i personally care about, but just saying...
@patiodog,
just got in and realized patiodog, that I confused you with another poster...which I thought of while I was in my truck. Hence my nasty response. I apologize. Truly. I also support your right to eat your dogs asshole if you like and you not need make any excuses about it. we're all (well mostly) friends here.
Seriously, sorry dude.
@Bi-Polar Bear,
No worries. Was happy to have the chance to go off on somebody, since I usually stay off the politics threads.

It is WAY too early in the day for that kind of mental image.
In fact, it's
always way too early in the day for that kind of mental image....
@Bi-Polar Bear,
Does this mean Patio Dog and Bi-Polar-Bear are going to elope accompanied by Squinney as the flower girl?
