Funny how the pricks contort things to be OMG for one person and the holy grail for the other. :jeepxj3:

So from a Email I recieved I give you this lil bit of info:


Listening to the mainstream media these last few days
I've learned a few things about the GOP's VP nominee but also had
to learn a
few things on my own. To wit:

1. From the media I learned Sarah Palin's
husband has a DUI conviction from 22 years ago.

*On my own I learned that Ted Kennedy (hero of last
week's tribute at the DNC) was drunk while driving a car off a
bridge in
Chappaquiddick. That same crash killed a young campaign volunteer
with whom he
was having an affair. Oh, and that woman was pregnant with his
child.


* Mr. Palin's (who is not running for office) DUI came
a mere 4 years after Barack Obama (who is running for president)
stopped using
cocaine and marijuana (by his own admission in his
autobiography).

Shocking - it's OK for the presidential candidate to
use drugs or the party patriarch to kill someone while driving
drunk yet the
husband of a VP candidate should be demonized for something done
22 years
ago.

2. From the media I learned that Sarah Palin's daughter is
pregnant.

* On my own I learned the Obama's mother was a
unmarried street hippy in Honolulu, Hawaii, when she conceived
Obama.


* On my own I learned that Joe Biden's (the other VP
candidate) son was paid a large amount of money as a consultant
to credit
card company MBNA. That same company had business before Senator
Joe
Biden concerning regulation of consumer credit practices. After
the company
paid a hefty sum to Mr.. Biden's son, he voted in favor of
legislation to help
that company.

* That same son, Hunter, is also engaged in a legal
investigation and suit for defrauding a former business
partner

Shocking - it's a crime for the republican VP candidate to have
a child who's pregnant even though it's irrelevant to how she
performs her
job.
It's ok if the democrat Presidential candidate's unwed
mother to
conceived him out of
wedlock.

It's ok, however, for the democrat VP candidate while
a senator to vote in favor of a company who paid his son over a
quarter of a
million dollars.

3. From the media I learned that Sarah Palin should be
considered "selfish" for agreeing to run for VP knowing about her
daughter's
condition. Knowing that at her public role would bring extra
scrutiny on the
family is selfish and she should have declined to protect her
child (actually
heard this on ABC this weekend).

Strange - the same people who said
Sarah is selfish for running for VP did not seem to care about any
impact on
Chelsea when Bill Clinton had his dalliance with Monica Lewinsky.
That was a
private, personal matter you see.

4. From the media I have learned to
be "concerned" that Sarah Palin probably won't be able to
manage
her family
and do an effective job of being VP at the same time.

Funny - I never
heard anything about Hillary's ability to support Chelsea while re-
doing
healthcare or any of the other feminist icons who say you can
balance work and
family. They also never mention that Barack will have to balance
time with his
children while meeting with heads of rogue nations.

5. From the media I
have learned that Sarah Palin is "too inexperienced" to be a
heartbeat-away
from the presidency. * Apparently taking on corruption in your own
party and
running a state that's the same size people-wise as Delaware (hint
hint:
that's where Joe Biden is from) is not really
experience.

* However, time spent as a "community organizer" and
less than 180 days in the senate where you've authored no
significant
legislation is just the type of "change" we're looking for from

the top of the
ticket.

Funny - inexperience at the top of the ticket is a mantra for
"change" and "hope" while strong practical everyday
experience as
the #2 is
cause for concern.

6. From the media I learned that Sarah Palin's
husband once got a ticket for fishing without a license. * I
haven't heard
much about the fact that if he were still a practicing attorney,
the VP
candidate Joe Biden would be disbarred for plagiarism not once but
multiple
times.

It's ok to break the rules if you're a democrat candidate but
not Ok if you are the spouse of a republican candidate.

7. From the media I learned that Sarah Palin doesn't
know much about Iraq; in fact we wonder if she even knows where it
is.
*
Sarah's son volunteered into the US military and is now deployed
in Iraq. I
guess that doesn't count.

Sarah has spent more time with troops in Iraq (as
commander of the Alaska National Guard she visited Iraq last year)
than Obama
has even while running for president. In fact, when Sarah went to
Iraq she
spent time with the troops. When Obama went there, he skipped a
base visit to
instead go work out at the Ritz Carlton.

8. From the media I learned
that Sarah Palin is a "lightweight" and she better be a "quick

study" to keep
up with this team.

Funny, nobody is talking about how, after Barack
Obama had "visited 57 states" according to him he only had "5
more
to go" or
endless other stupid gaffes that expose who he really is.

9. From the
media I have learned that (gasp!), Sarah Palin's husband was once
a registered
member of a 3rd party that favored states' rights (man, this is
really bad
stuff).

* That same media has been silent to the story that
when Barack Obama announced his first senate run, he did so in the
home of
William Ayers. Mr. Ayers is an un-repentant terrorist
convicted for bombing the pentagon. This same Mr. Ayers said on
9/11 that he
and his group did not do enough to harm our military and he wished
he had done
more. During the same time as that comment, he was serving on a
board with
Barack Obama. All notes and information about their serving
together
is now locked up by the corrupt Chicago machine and reporter
access to those
records are being blocked by the Obama campaign.

If we've had
any doubts about the bias of the media, it's pretty clear now
where they
stand. Pass this on to some of your friends who are on the fence
and who get
all their information from Katie Couric, Wolf Blitzer, Tom Brokaw
and the
gang. This is egregious and corrupt. The only way to stop it is to
spread
information using other outlets and make these guys
irrelevant.

I really wish I had time to look up a few of those claims. Some I have never heard.

I have a feeling some are exaggerated, if even based on truth at all; but the bias is true.
