Default I think this says it all about McCain/Palin

This was emailed to me today. I thought it was pretty funny!

Subject: Understanding McCain's VP choice

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 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.

We should probably be grateful that they're not blaming the iceburgs melting because of the California Supreme Court.

Come to think of it, we should probably start blaming ourselves for such things, just to make fun of them.

Solar radiation distrupted cell phone service for one hour today...All because of a few activist judges in California...

Too bad, I'm still going to blame the melting polar ice caps on the California Supreme Court decision.

It's official, gays are responsible for global warming.

...and nuclear waste...and the common cold...and mosquito bites.

Think about it...

Cool

Wow, us gays in the US caused the Chernobyl accident. I didn't realize our evil powers stretched all the way to Ukraine. We are pretty darn powerful!! No wonder all the homophobes are shaking in their boots.

Whatever happend to just being responsible for recruiting? I was just happy to be responsible for turning good little right winged conservatives into good lesbians and gays. I just didn't know that I was NOW repsponsible for all the worlds ills.......Does that mean that I have to turn in my lesbian ID card?

I read it several days ago and found it interesting. Monica Roberts wrote it on her blog. When you look at it she makes some very valid points. Monica's blogsite is:

No, TJ, you don't have to resign. Just get busy undermining something. I don't think anyone has called dibs on the PTA and I'm pretty sure that nobody has started "gaying up" the Elks. So just pick one and get busy.
