Republican Logic, as gakked from my dad (who gakked it from someone else)
I'm a little confused by Republican logic. So let me
see if I have this straight....
If you grow up in Hawaii , raised by your grandparents, you're "exotic,
different." But grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers,
you're 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 heiress
Cindy 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 a very responsible
parent.
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.
