Hypocrisy is Thick These Days

People harp on Palin for her "lack" of political experience, but here's a nugget that no one seems to talk about... Obama has the potential to engage in his longest tenure in one position in politics as the President of the United States!

President. Of the United States.

The guy's spent seven years in the Illinois State Senate. He's only spent two years as U.S. Senator, most of that time running for the presidency. Two terms as U.S. Prez tops either one of those.

And he's more qualified how, exactly?

And why is Palin "unqualified" and Bill Clinton was "exceptionally qualified" to be President?
  • Bill Clinton was a governor of a small state. So is Palin.
  • Bill Clinton had minimal foreign policy experience. So does Palin.
  • Bill Clinton was married to a man. So is Palin.
  • Bill Clinton was the prettiest spouse in the marriage. So is Palin.
All joking aside, the Obama-loving media just conveniently ignore important facts. As one headline recently reported... "How the 2008 Election Demolished the Credibility of "Mainstream" Press." Objectivity is lost. Equal criticism is lost.

Let's not talk about Obama's sketchy past or socialist leanings or communist advisors or Fanny Mae/Freddie Mac ties or his views on unfetered abortions to the point of not even saving a child that survives an abortion attempt. Let's not talk about that.

Let's talk about Palin's daughter's pregnancy. Yeah, that has more impact on the presidency.

The hypocrisy is so blatant and thick and sickening.

I'm not saying Palin is the savior of the Republican party... I just want the media to stop treating Obama as the savior of the nation. He's a man with his own past and his own decisions that deserves the same scrutiny. Period.

The American voter deserves to know ALL the facts, not just the ones that are aligned with the Democrats talking points. Who knows, after such scrutiny, the guy could turn out to be the greatest human to walk the plant earth in nearly 2000 years. But we'll never know.

Gosh, I never thought I'd say this, but "I remember a time when the media mattered."

Seems like a long time ago.

The mainstream media reminds me of Congress. Out for themselves at any cost (in values, morals and $$). Here's what's really getting me. NOW is the time for a 3rd party! Clearly Congress does not represent the American people. Congress scoffs at us. Their behavior is an insult TOWARD us. Why have lobbyist and special interest groups determined what is passed, what gets approved and what gets turned away!
