A Republican response to Democratic " Propaganda"

This kind of email requires a response and here's a response in red.

· If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're "exotic, different."
The quotations around exotic and different indicate that someone said this… who, exactly, said it?

* Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, a quintessential American story.

"Quintessential"? I wouldn't argue that that is quintessential – this person should look up the definition before using such an adjective. But then again, it seems as if he/she is citing Right-wingers without actual citations.



* If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
There was SPECULATION that Barack was Muslim. In his interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, he says "my Muslim faith," even though he admits to slipping up (after Stephanopoulos corrects him).


* Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a maverick.

What does naming your kids have anything to do with being a maverick? That's just downright idiotic.



* Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
What? Once again – this e-mail is taking a good thing Barack has done in his past, and pairing it with an outrageous accusation (obviously coming from Obama's critics – even though he/she doesn't provide sources). But that's not the point, some of the accusations from Obama's critics are accurate, just not for the reasons the e-mail says. This is dumb, but I'll keep going…


* 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 Senatorrepresenting 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.

See above in highlighted yellow first.

- 3 years as a "brilliant" community organizer? What does that mean? Brilliant?

- His Senate record (in the State and in the U.S.) has been consistently ridiculed – and rightfully so, look it up – for containing below-par substance. People will brag that Obama has signed hundreds of thousands of pieces of legislation, but that literally translates as: he signs his name.

- I don't argue that he doesn't have legislative experience – but EXECUTIVE experience is what really matters when potentially becoming "the country's second highest ranking EXECUTIVE." Morons. (below)



* 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.


The above comment is the most telling… and why liberals swing and miss. I'll admit… Palin's experience is not great, but neither is Obama's, Many could argue that Palin has more experience than Obama, others could argue that Obama has more than Palin – but isn't that where the problem is, comparing the top of the ticket to the bottom of the other ticket? McCain is more qualified than the other ticket combined + Palin. But I'm not voting for Palin… Palin is at the BOTTOM of the ticket, whereas Barack Obama is at the top. This attempt at debate is rhetorically illogical and is seemingly flawed – they fall into a trap when they try to go this route, and end up sounding ridiculous.





* 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.

Yea, Protestant churches with REVERAND WRIGHT. Some of Wright's comments (Obama had been affiliated with him for around 20 years, by the way):

- Black's should not sing God Bless America, but God Damn America

- The U.S. brought on 9/11 from its own terrorism

- http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/Story?id=4443788 (see this link for more…)

And then, Obama says that his church (with Wright) isn't controversial. Talk about naivety.

Check out that story… pretty neat. Also, go to realclearpolitics.com and look at the new projected Electoral College map… McCain is up by about 30 votes. The election is leaning in his favor..

* 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 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.

OK, much clearer now.






Sorry, friends and loved ones... I just had to... it's kinda important.
