Experience
September 16th, 2008 | by celtictexan |
You know there are lots of things that are stupid in this world. To many to list. But one of the dumbest things I’ve seen lately is when the Libs attacking Palin on experience.
I mean seriously, there are always things a would be prez or vice prez can be hit on. And that’s on both sides. But is it smart, to call the kettle black, when you are a kettle? Shouldn’t you worry about sweeping your own porch first, or at least find a complaint that can’t boomerang?
One Response to “Experience”

This was forwarded to me by a liberal friend of mine who often emails stuff to me by mistake because she has another friend on her email list with the same first name:
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, s pend 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 hei ress, and left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you’re a Christian.
* If you teach teach children about sexual predators, you are irresponsible and 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 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 hates America and advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.
OK, much clearer now.
I don’t have the email address of the person who originally wrote this, but if I did, my response would be:
Let me see if I’ve got this straight…
If you’re so insecure about the candidate you’re supporting for President that you have to obsess about the Vice Presidential nominee of the other Party, and you can only come up with one moral failing of the Presidential nominee to compare with your candidate (and you have to dig back more than a quarter century to do so), and if you even have to ignore the achievements of the Vice Presidential candidate, you’re brilliant and can look down your nose at anyone who would dare to vote for anyone other than the Anointed One.
But if you patiently stand by and watch a campaign implode, because it was never really built on anything more than a few good speeches, a couple of slogans, a logo, a self-styled presidential seal and a whole lot of chutzpah, then you’re an idiot who needs to put all his hope in the change that all the really smart people believe in.
OK, much clearer now.
