I am not going to take it any more!!!!!!

Ok, I am pissed! I have listened to all this talk about how inexperienced Palin is and how people don't want another Bush (ditto by the way, it is not my fault he is there). I stand there and keep my mouth shut, but I have NEVER cared this much about an election EVER. A post on my blog might be the coward's way out, but if one more person tries to talk to me about this again (friend or foe), I am liable to punch them. So, this is a much safer alternative.

Ok, here is a forward I got today that really set me off after checking these facts and finding them TRUE!! You will find my comments in red.

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 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.
True
* Mr. Palin's (who is not running for office) DUI came a mere 4years after Barack Obama (who is running for president) stopped using cocaine and marijuana (by his own admission in his autobiography titled- The Audacity of Hope- wtf!?!) 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.
I am totally checking this one, I would think there is something being left out here
2. From the media I learned that Sarah Palin's daughter is pregnant.* 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, 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 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.
It is just a woman thing, people think they are not sexist but . . .
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.
Yeah, but I am not so sure she is a woman (not pc, sorry)
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 or how Joe Biden's kids don't even have a mom and will be fighting for his time while he hosts white house coffee fund raisers and sells nights in the Lincoln bedroom.
I am hoping McCain wins the next election so Palin can run in 8 years!!
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.
Really, this is what makes news these days?
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 dis-barred 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.
I have not checked this fact, do it yourself, I am not going to hand feed you this stuff. I have a baby for that.
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.
What ever, she does so much better when she has not been coached.
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.
Ok, this one is stupid. The man has been campaigning forever now, he is tired. There are far more important things to go off about.
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).
True, doesn't this bother anyone?
* 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. Well, duh, no one thinks the media is unbiased.

A couple other things I would like to mention. It is common practice to offer a bounty for nuisance animals. I.e. Rats in Chicago and New York, Doves in Argentina ect. So, why is everyone giving Palin a hard time for killing wolves that are killing off Caribou and Moose? Yes, hunting from aircraft is illegal and unsportsmanlike, but we are talking about a nuisance animal in a tough terrain area.

Finally, go to youtube and look up Palin in her home church and Obama in his. Don't look at the "cut" ones or news broadcasts, remember people are biased, make your own decisions. This is why I am not throwing out links. Although, the one "defending" Obama's church, does NOT help his case at all and it is weird that someone thinks it does.

I am still a little mad, but I feel a little better getting this off my chest. Hopefully I can sleep now. Maybe now I won't punch someone. (No guarantees)
