Oh, and it’s hard to imagine Gov. Palin as V.P. I seriously considered voting for Sen. McCain, until he picked her.

If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you’re ‘exotic, different.’ Grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers, a quintessential an 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 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 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 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, and you CC him on emails regarding government business on your personal email, your family is extremely admirable. OK, much clearer now.

[and if you do not know who these are referencing, look the comments up...ALL TRUE]

Do people in Alaska pay Federal Income Tax. If so, so they deserve anything back? Do you expect them to just send their money down to the lower 48 and take nothing back in return.

Alan can you name one of state in America where a trooper could issue a death threat against the first family and keep his or her job? Could you? Can you even name a state where a trooper could taser his 10 year old stepson with a department issued taser and keep his job? Palin released over 10,000 emails that clearly indicate her true issues with the head of the DPS in her state. The real issue here is why the good old boy trooper union in Alaska jumped in to save this rogue cops job so many times. Could a trooper anywhere in America, ex-brother-in-law or not, threated Biden’s family or Obama’s family and still have his job the next day? Damn, are democrats so ready to go against Palin no matter what, that they’ll defend an ass like Wooten?
