More Musings...

If you are a conservative, it's called "family values".

If a Democrat uses his children for photo opportunities, he's exploiting
them.

If Republican uses her children for photo opportunities, she's a "proud
hockey mom".

If you are a Democrat and the media digs into your past and prints it,
it is called "good journalism and getting to the truth".

If you are a Republican and they do the same thing, it is called a
"smear campaign".

If you have studied international affairs for several decades, you're
"inexperienced at foreign affairs".

If you live in a state that is geographically near a foreign country,
you have "foreign policy expertise".

If you're a Black woman, with advanced academic degrees, and you have
children while married, you're a "baby mama". (F**K Fox News for saying that about Michelle Obama!)

If you're a white woman who barely graduated from college, and you get
knocked up and then get married after you're pregnant, you're a "SuperMom".

If you're a Republican and your underage daughter gets pregnant out of
wedlock, it's a "blessing."

If you're a Democrat and you get a blow job, it's a matter for the
Supreme Court.

If you're a young American serviceman abused by enemy captors on a daily
basis, you're a hero who stoically endured inhumane torture and put
country first.

If you're a young Arab or Pakistani grabbed in a battle zone, shipped to
an American military prison by way of a third country, and held
indefinitely without trial, you're a vicious Islamic terrorist who
doesn't deserve to be treated like a human being.

If you're a Republican, you swear Jesus is a registered member of your
party.

If you're a Democrat, you appreciate that Jesus was a community organizer.

If you chant "Drill, Baby, Drill" you are positing an effective and
responsible energy plan, science and logic be damned.

If you chant "Yes, We Can" you are a mindless automaton.

If you're a Republican with a questionable academic background, you're a
champion of American education.

If you're a Democrat who was editor of the Harvard Law Review, you want
to destroy America's schools.

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."

If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, left your
disfigured wife, and married the heiress the next month, you're a
Christian.

If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years and raised 2
beautiful daughters, you're "risky".

If you're a Democrat and you prefer wine over beer, you are an "elitist."

If you're a Republican and you prefer a beer heiress over your first
wife, you are a "committed family man."

If you spend 18 months building a campaign around the theme of "Change,"
it's just "empty rhetoric."

If one week before your party's national convention you SUDDENLY make
your candidacy about "Change," that's "red meat."

If you're Black and never served in the military, but fight for veterans
benefits and were right in predicting the disastrous Iraq war would be a
mistake, you don't care about the troops.

If you're a white former POW and spend 26 years in the Senate while voting
against virtually every bill put forward to help veterans, and want to
stay in Iraq indefinitely, you're a hero.

If you're a Republican president and you engage in illegal war costing
4000+ lives, bankrupt the country, and legalize torture and spy on US
citizens, that's okay, because Jesus is your favorite political thinker.

If you're a Democratic president and you generate the largest increases
in wealth for all economic classes, preside over a balanced budget, and
create an unprecedented surplus, you get impeached.
