It's all clear now!

As if it wasn't already getting low...


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 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 laywer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of his 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.


I have a better understanding of it now, how about you?

I think this thread just won the election.

You mean if your abandoned on your grandparents doorstep so mama could go back to Indonesia?

* If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
* Name your kids Willow , Trig and Track, you're a maverick.

I thought kids weren't a topic of discussion. But since we're talking family, how's his step brother doing in Kenya?

* Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded.

Sorry that we all can't afford a HARVARD education....some of the best people I know went through a community college.
Oh yeah, lets not forget about time he spent with people such as William Ayers and Rev. Wright in order to work his way up the ladder of Chicago politics.

Foreign affairs....is that the one he's never held a meeting on?

* 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.

[B]19 years......If I recall McCain has been married for 28 years now.

* 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.

Nobody you know has either gotten pregnant at an early age or has gotten someone pregnant? AMAZING!

* If your wife is a Harvard graduate laywer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of his inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values don't represent America 's.

You mean if your wife was a V.P. in a hospital system and received a pay raise a little under $200,000 right after her hubby took a Senate seat. Oh yeah, don't forget about the earmarks for the University system as a big ol' thank you. :thumbsup:

First dude, sounds kind of down to earth to me. Not like the typical smug politicians that we've dealt with now for decades.


OK, much clearer now.


I have a better understanding of it now, how about you?

VERY good understanding of it. Thank you!:thumbsup:

Have a good one!:s4:

You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here, you're beginning to believe that the tube is reality and your own lives are unreal. You do. Why, whatever the tube tells you: you dress like the tube, you eat like the tube, you raise your children like the tube, you even think like the tube. This is mass madness, you maniacs. In God's name, you people are the real thing, WE are the illusion.

All I know is, you've got to get mad. You've got to say, "I'm a human being, goddamn it. My life has value."
-Howard Beale (Network 1976)
