--- Sarah Palin
Just information for anyone who is interested in both sides of our
voting choices...........
Interesting. Nobody's perfect....(except you and me)..ha,
ha 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 had a DUI
conviction 22 years ago.
* On my own I learned that Ted Kennedy (hero of the tribute at the
DNC convention) 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, it has been said 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 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, Biden voted in favor of
legislation to help that company. No kidding !!!!
* That same son, Hunter, is also engaged in a legal investigation
and lawsuit 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 that is irrelevant to how she
performs her job.
It is ok, however, for the democrat VP candidate, while a senator,
to vote in favor of a company that 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.

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 health care, or any of the other feminist icons
who state a woman 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, maybe even
while he hosts white house coffee fundraisers and sells nights in
the Lincoln bedroom.

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 with 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 Democratic ticket is a mantra
for 'change' and 'hope', while strong practical everyday experience
as that of the #2 Republican 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 they wondered 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 (she visited Iraq last
year as commander of the Alaska National Guard ) than Obama has, even
while running for president. In fact, when Sarah went to Iraq she
spent time with the troops.
When Obama went on his 'foreign policy' tour, he skipped a military
hospital visit to go instead to work out at the Ritz Carlton. The
military welcomed Obama, but would not allow the media crowd to go
along - so, without the press adulation, a visit to the troops would
be a waste of Obama's time !!!!

8. From the media I learned that Sarah Palin is a 'lightweight' and
she better be a 'quick study' to keep up with the facts of this team.
Funny, nobody is talking about how, after Barack Obama had 'visited
57 states' and, 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 about 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, about 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, Ayers was serving on a Board
with Barack Obama. All notes and information about their serving
together is now locked up by the corrupt Chicago democrat machine
and any reporters' 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. This bias is egregious and corrupt.

Pass this on to some of your friends who are on the fence and who
get all their information from Katie Couric, Brian Williams, Wolf
Blitzer, Tom Brokaw and the gang. The only way to stop such bias is
to spread correct information using the NEW media, the Internet and
other outlets which will make these guys irrelevant.
