I'm just baffled, BAFFLED by the support that Palin is getting across the country. Time and time again, the republicans manage to turn around actions for which they would excoriate the left to their advantage.
Check this out (I didn't write it, but I wholeheartedly agree with it):
Black teen pregnancies? A 'crisis' in black America . White teen
pregnancies? A 'blessed event.'
If you grow up in Hawaii you're 'exotic.' Grow up in Alaska eating
mooseburgers, you're the quintessential 'American story.'
Similarly, if you name you kid Barack you're 'unpatriotic.' Name your
kid Track, you're 'colorful.'
If you're a Democrat and you make a VP pick without fully vetting the
individual you're 'reckless.' A Republican who doesn't fully vet is a
'maverick.'
If you spend 3 years as a community organizer growing your organization
from a staff of 1 to 13 and your budget from $70,000 to $400,000, then
become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a
voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new African Amerian
voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, then spend
nearly 8 more years as a State Senator representing a district with over
750,000 people, becoming chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human
Services committee, then spend nearly 4 years in the United States Senate
representing a state of nearly 13 million people, sponsoring 131 bills
and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and
Veteran's Affairs committees, you are 'woefully inexperienced'.
If you spend 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a
town with less than 7,000 people, then spend 20 months as the governor of
a state with 650,000 people, then you've got the most executive
experience of anyone on either ticket, are the Commander in Chief of the
Alaska military and are well qualified to lead the nation should you be
called upon to do so because your state is the closest state to Russia .
If you are a Democratic male candidate who is popular with millions of
people you are an 'arrogant celebrity'. If you are a popular Republican
female candidate you are 'energizing the
base'.
If you are a younger male candidate who thinks for himself and makes his
own decisions you are 'presumptuous'. If you are an older male candidate
who makes last minute decisions you refuse to explain, you are a 'shoot
from the hip' maverick.
If you are a candidate with a Harvard law degree you are 'an elitist-out
of touch' with the real America . If you are a legacy (dad and granddad
were admirals) graduate of Annapolis, with multiple disciplinary
infractions you are a hero.
If you manage a multi-million dollar nationwide campaign, you are an
'empty suit'. If you are a part time mayor of a town of 7000 people, you
are an 'experienced executive'.
If you go to a south side Chicago church, your beliefs are 'extremist'.
If you believe in creationism and don't believe global warming is man-
made, you are 'strongly principled'.
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 have been married to the same woman with whom you've been wed to
for 19 years and raising 2 beautiful daughters with, you're 'risky'.
If you're a black single mother of 4 who waits for 22 hours after her
water breaks to seek medical attention, you're an irresponsible parent,
endangering the life of your unborn child. But if you're a white married
mother who waits 22 hours, you're spunky.
If you're a 13-year-old Chelsea Clinton, the right-wing press calls you
'First dog.' If you're a 17-year old pregnant unwed daughter of a
Republican, the right-wing press calls you 'beautiful' and 'courageous.'
