I am confused!!

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.”

If you grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, yours is 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 and next in line behind a man in his eighth decade.
***********************
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 then left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a true 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 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.
************************
SEE WHY I AM CONFUSED?

Neo conservative republicans are NOWHERE TO BE FOUND. My favorite is how they call the one wife, one car father of two "uppity" and "elitist"

somehow IGNORING the fact that their dude has 13 cars (not that he remembers), 10 houses (not that he remembers), is the son of an admiral who was the son of an admiral, with a wife who will not release her tax records like republicans demanded of Teresa Heinz Kerry. If the death of principled conservatism wasn't so sad it would be funny.

Darn, you are getting better, but I'm afraid McCain can still get more done that we MUST have than can Obama!

I just hope he can live four years so that we don't have to have a Nancy Reagan Presidency!
