Let me see if I have this straight.....&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;* If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're &amp;quot;exotic, different.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;* Grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers, a quintessential American story.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;* If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;* Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, and you're a maverick.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;* Graduate from Harvard law School and be President of the Law Review, and you are unstable.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;* If you spend 3 years as a community organizer, 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.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;* 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.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;* 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.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;* 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.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;* 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.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;* 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.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;* If your husband is nicknamed &amp;quot;First Dude&amp;quot;, with at least one DUI 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.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;OK, much clearer now.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

She has also whole-heartedly adopted the policies of cronyism - re: Katrina (FEMA) and most notably the tactics of the DOJ under the Bush/Cheney administration. Hide the truth if you can, when forced to speak, Lie.

But other Arizona lawmakers counter that their colleagues' stance hurts the state. &lt;br&gt;Arizona, the second-fastest growing state in the nation, will receive just $18.70 per capita in federal earmarks this fiscal year. By comparison, Alaska - with roughly a tenth of Arizona's population - is set to receive $506.34 per capita, the highest in the nation, according to Taxpayers for Common Sense, a watchdog group that tracks earmarks. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now tell me if this isn't trying to turn a sus's ear into a silk purse!!!
