In 2008, the repubs chose a VP with a BS in journalism from 5 colleges, and a guy who graduated 894th out of 899 in his class for President. These are facts. The Dems chose 2 guys with law degrees from prestigious universities. No matter who you like, these are facts. Dems were much more educated than the repub candidates.
When shit got hectic *in something as small as an election campaign*, what did the Repubs do? Think their way out of it? no, they panicked and came up with lamebrain moves like suspend campaigns and refuse to answer Qs at debates, referring to memorized speeches instead. On Katie Couric, Palin didn't have the brainpower to outwit a dullard like Couric. Mccain wasn't much better with his multiple 'senior moments' when his campaign actually admitted Mccain's positions don't match those of his own campaign. Frankly, they looked stupid. Smarter people who have responded to these things with smarter moves.
Obama and Biden, somehow, were smart enough to just not fck things up. Prrof is in the pudding, and the election was a landslide.
The point of this drivel?
GOP: Please run a brilliant candidate in 2012. Give Obama a run for his money. Don't settle for a good-looking person with normal brains or a experience likeable guy who isn't all that alert. Choose someone who can handle stressful situations - and handle them well.
You settle for someone with second-tier brain who looks good in a tight shirt holding a rifle, and when the election (or God forbid the actual job as President) gets tough, she will most likely do what she did during tough times before - stammer, repeat a canned speech or wose - quit.

240 you have made this dumb ass argument 100 times and its flat out wrong. Joe Biden was thrown out of school for cheating not once, but twice and has all the brain power of a chipmunk. So please, lets calm down shall we--
McCain graduated from a military academy and then went directly into the armed forces. What fucking difference would it make if he graduated 1st or 100th? I think surviving 5 years in a Vietnamese prison camp makes him a lot more palatable and on level with your average American than a prissy black, half muslim activist type who changed his name from Barry to Barrak and graduated from Harvard Law School during the 70's.
You just hate Palin. Which is fine. But your rationale for hating her should have nothing to do with her education and everything to do with her beliefs and intellect. Your overall argument fails miserably because our most recent president graduated from Yale-- and last I checked he was considered by most or all Americans to be the dumbest president in recent memory.
Jimmy Carter was extremely educated and is without a doubt the worst president we have had in the past 40 years. Ronald Regan was a B movie actor and turned out to be one of the best ever. Most Americans are not ivy league educated silver spoon sissys. Having a fancy degree from a 100k/ semester school doesn't mean jack shit.

Yet, Obama's so brilliant he can't figure out the simplest of principles, namely that you don't raise taxes when the economy is struggling.
The simple fact is that Palin knows how to run city and a state (albeit relatively small ones). She has executive experience, FAR more than Obama does.

True!! Far too often, these ivy leaguers can't even balance a checkbook. Lots of book sense but nary a grain of common sense.

I deal with Ivy League types all the time. Aside from the book smarts, they are usually clueless in terms of street smarts, common sense, and reality.

Do you get this part of George's post, 240? I know your favorite argument is: but, but, but, Bush did it...
-
Yes 240 the intellect is astounding, the first thing I would do if I was 12 Trillion in debt is spend more money. What a brilliant move ::) Then I would push something that would almost certainly destroy what little manufacturing that is left in the country, well holy shit look at that "cap and fuck America", another strategic move. I used to think that you actually made some sense now and again, but now you are just off the deep end PIP 240

I never considered bush a stupid man. Not at all. MBA from yale. When he spoke as governor, it was a mile a minute with some serious depth. Sure, it might have been assisted by whatever battles he had at the time, but he knew his shit about the material.
he spoke slower as president, and wasn't all that strong with the language, but his understanding of the issues - I never doubted that. Bush was a smart man.
-
Geezus Christ 240 even I think Bush is an idiot. A good man deep down, but not very bright and loyal to a fault. He allowed those around him to make all of his decisions for him. Beyond that, the man's command of the english language is pathetic.
Moving along, having a graduate degree does not make you better or less qualified to run the country. It's an expensive piece of paper that has no bearing on your ability to make decisions.
After all, you have an MBA and I wouldn't hire you to cut my grass. You would probably organize a strike, have an illegal immigrint set fire to my lawn, shoot the illegal immigrint dead with my gun and then tell the press I'm a far right wing radical murderer for you exercising your 2nd amendment rights.
Such nonsense seems commensurate with your political views.

You hate her with a long-lasting, deep passion, don't you, bro? :-\
In all the years that I've seen you post on GB, I've never seen you put so much negative stuff out directed at anyone like you have with Sarah Palin. You do you best to be objective about 99% of the topics you take part in, but with her it's personal. You really hate her, don't you?
-
I really really really wanted the GOP to run an awesome candidate (like a RP or someone better) in 2008.
Someone with the balls to admit to Americans that Bush fuct up a lot, and the brains to completely own the inexperienced and hapless Obama in the debates.
Instead we had the (R) ticket trying to cancel debates, then wandering in front of cameras like a lost old man during them. And of course, kissing Bush's ass all the while.
I admit I was pretty bummed they ran such weak candidates. And I'm scared they'll do it again in 2012, with all the palin worship. Isn't there a better candidate to choose?

So, you've seen Obama's college transcripts? You know he received good grades in school? You know he graduated? You know where he placed in his class? Please tell the rest of us where we can see these documents so we can verify for ourselves.

i know he has a law degree from harvard.
this has more value than a BS in journalism from 5 college.
Even if I haven't seen his report card.
I'm not saying O doesn't have questions, because he does. I'm saying you repubs shouldn't cheerlead a dummy in 2012. Pick a candidate who is brilliant.

You seem to have a problem with anyone who can be viewed as smarter than that moron Palin.

But you've not gone anywhere near as personal with McCain as you have with Palin???
Thanks for taking the time to explain your animosity toward her. I still don't understand the intensity of it, but it's what you feel.

I somewhat agree. It's not just ivy league types but anyone who has suckled from the teet of academia too long can become disjointed with reality.
-

The problem with academia is that they believe too much of their own nonsense. The distortion of reality is made even worse by virtue of the fact that these professors have a captive audience of students with life experience and collegues who all share the same views and have an equal lack of real world experience.

It is a very incestuous existence for a lot of them. This is why i don't agree that Obama holds the same views or could even implement them. Most get a real world wake up, the ones that don't heed this head back to the safety of university, and the ones that do change and mold to fit in and succeed accordingly.

Being book smart is not the same thing as having basic common sense and being in touch with reality.
Obama has book smarts too a fault because he sincerely believes that said book knowledge is an adequate substitute for real life experience, common sense, and reality.

to me - it appeared that palin had neither.
Q: Which newspapers and magazines do you read daily.
A: "All of them."
I'm sorry, but that's not the answer of a smart person. it's just not.
2007/2008, I was so disgusted with the repub party, it wasn't funny. Remember I voted Bush in 00 and 04. I saw them doing nothing but praising bush and refusing to 'sack up' and bring some kinda change. Instead it was just mitt and rudy screaming "youre a lib!" at each other for 6 months.

That question was a trap and Palin knew it. She just didn't give great answer to it. If she answered it specifically, Couric would've asked specific follow-up questions to magazines listed in an attempt to make her out to be a liar.
And this is coming from someone who felt that Palin's nomination was a transparent, desperate move. It's just that the criticism thrown her way was epic and unfair.

I cant believe that 240 will bash Palin for a bad interview yet at the same time join the chorus of Obama
knee-padders who claim he is brilliant when he himself had almost equal flaps on the campaign trail.
The basic problem is that many people simply bought into the MSM propaganda spin machine that Obama was brilliant and Palin was dumb. No matter what occured after that, these knee padders refused to see anything but their initial MSM fed poison.
Is Palin dumb? - No.
Is Obama brilliant? - No.
Neither are dumb.
Neither are brilliant.
-
This whole thread is completely based on 240's personal vendetta against Palin.
The argument that ivy leaguers are somehow better equipped to run the government is completely false.
-
mccain was just as bad - bottom 1% of his class and admitted he didn't know much about the economy.
I jsut wish repub voters would start clamoring for a candidate with the brains to fix this mess.

HA HA HA!!!!!!
GW - GO WATCH "THE WARNING"
The brilliant Ive League geniuses : CLINTON, BUSH, SUMMERS, RUBIN, GEITHNER, GREENSPAN completely did not understand what they were doing and are largely responsible for the mess we are in.
if that is what the Ivy League produces, not to mention our Dear Leader, I really dont think this should be considered a good barometer of likely future success.
-
::)
Obama obivously knew " a lot " about the economy and Biden being expelled for cheating a few times has really come in handy during the past year.
You just wish that republican voters would clamor for someone with brains to fix this mess?
Who is this someone and where are they? Should the GOP hold an American Idol type search where random politicians audition in front of a live audience week after week and then the winner gets the 2012 nomination?
Maybe the GOP can limit the contestants to those with Phd's in rocket science so the 2012 nominees have "enough brains to fix this mess" for 240 or bust.
While we are at it, maybe the GOP can ask Obama and Biden to switch sides to the GOP and we can abolish the two party system so that the GOP has some "smart" people in charge who are doing a great job!

This is whole I feel lately wth this admn and the level of debate we have where people who accuse doctors of stealing tonsils for money are "brilliant" and people who advoctate less government, domestic energy production, and personal freedom are considered "dumb".

I agree. I don't get this shit. Palin has neither street smarts OR book smarts. This is the same dickhead that said she could see Russia from her doorstep. Street smarts? She has none. ::)
I spent two summers in the summer program for chemistry in one of the better Ivy League schools taking classes with all manner of Ivy Leaguers. They're not much different from anyone else. Sure there are the spoiled yuppie white kids but they're not as common as one would think. Most of the kids I've met were actually friendlier than the people at my school.
-

She never said that FOOL! She said there are parts of Alaska where you can see the tip of Russia from the shores.
When you only get your information from the butch Madcow and the limp dick Olbermann, I would expect you not to have known this.

Harp on the quote and not the message, which is that Palin is one of the stupidest people I've ever seen. I don't care if the leaders of this country went to an Ivy League school but I'd like for them to have gone somewhere respectable, like a top 100 university. Not jumping between five universities to get a journalism degree. ::)

The thing is the the people who automatically jump to Palin's defense think that they are proving her smartness with their defense, but it is the exact opposite. They are doing nothing more than proving their dumbness for thinking she is.
-
that's respectable. I am guessing you'd probably choose another candidate in 2012 in the primaries?
meanwhile, people like 333386 keep on singing "Palin 2012" and I have a good feeling he'd vote for her (again).
I will vote for anyone other than Obama in 2012. I dont care if Ms. Cleo runs for president, she has my vote.
I voted for Romney in the Primary but will not do so again due to his health care mess in MA.
NO RINOS!

YOU CANT BE HALF OF A RELIGION DUMB SHIT...
For real. When will the sillies actual get this part of their failing arguments?
-
imagine if Obama had a 2.2 high school GPA and had attended 5 colleges.
imagine if he had been a sports news journalist, then sat home for 10 years raising babies who ended up being teenage parents and dropouts.
imagine if he was mayor for 1 term and governor for 18 months.
Then imagine if he had the audacity to tell america he was prepared to be president.
jaws would drop. And 33 and friends would be howling with laughter.

Not if he were pushing free market, pro-growth policies, drilling our own energy.
Instead we have a Goldman Sachs puppet pushing marxism-lite who never held a job in his life before.

This thread just re-enforces my belief that we have created a ruling class in America. You don't have to have a lick of common sense, actually be successful in any buisness. All you need is a piece of paper that says Harvard or Yale on it and you are smarter than everyone else.

QQQFFFTTT.
Obama & Bush are proof that Ivy League education does not = brilliance.
I know people who never went to college that run large construction firms in NYC that forgot more common sense, knowledge of economics, business, etc, than Obama will ever hope to know.
They dont stammer, stutter, and fall all over themselves when discussing most topics because they have EXPERIENCE is dealing with actual real life issues.
Instead, we have the Nutty Professor as president who has no clue even how to run a lemonade stand lecturing the rest of us on issues he has never even dealt with himself.
-
Jimmy Carter had a single degree and went to 3 Universities.
Yet now education level is paramount. Whatever.
how come we don't have a bunch of people with Doctorates from Harvard and Cornell as President.
It simple education level is only one part of character and it speaks less about intelligence then about drive.
I know many smart people that own their businesses that never went to University again it was their drive in business that caused them to succeed.
Politicians are the same, you must be driven to be successful and education although helpful is only a small part of it.

You need to get over the Ivy League obsession as you seem to be pretty threatened by it. Palin went to FIVE UNIVERSITIES. 240 phrased it perfectly. The woman is a retard.
-
it's sad. you guys have to defend her. you can't just say 'sure, she's not all that bright, but we have plenty of brilliant candidates to offer..."
instead, you have to just keep defending her mediocrity.
Truthfully, TF? It's sad that people go to the lengths at which they do to bash her. In 2012, if she doesn't run, most of you will still be bashing her. And for what??? What are you gaining from this hatred, but only to become more bitter? Is it even worth your efforts? That's the sad part...
These efforts should be targeted towards our current administration's policy, which is steadily trampling the Constitution...more so than anyone opposed to the Bush administration. But it's ok, because President Obama is an Ivy-League graduate, and has the gift of speech.
Don't get me wrong, Ivy-League and gifted-speech are true blessings...but the policies absolutely suck. Not realistic whatsoever.
-

Ok, she is not a rocket scientist. I agree.
However, the knee padders constantly say "Harvard, Harvard, Harvard" as their main defense of Obama when it is plainly clear that going to a certain school is not by itself an indication of a persons' genius.

You keep saying this. She's not going to be a candidate. She can't win, and the party knows this.

Will we all agree that Matt Drudge is a legitimate blogger with consistent content????
Matt Drudge -- Pundit, blogger and radio personality Matt Drudge is best known as the proprietor of the Drudge Report Web site. "The only good grades I got in school were for current events," he has said of his education. Drudge opted out of college and floated among a number of odd jobs including convenience store clerk, book salesman and grocery store sales assistant.
In 1989, he moved to Los Angeles and took a job in the gift shop of CBS studios, eventually working his way up to manager. The inside scoop he learned while in this position was allegedly part of the inspiration for founding his gossip rag The Drudge Report. The tabloid made gained notoriety when it was the first to break the news of a relationship between White House intern Monica Lewinsky and President Bill Clinton in 1998.
....not a college graduate
and i'm sure there are others. Take Peter Jennings for instance. He never graduated from high school. Go read his obituary and see for yourself. He was one of the top three nightly news broadcasters in media.

Again how is that different then Carter he went to THREE universities and was PRESIDENT.
You don't get a degree from an accredited university or become governor by being an idiot.
There are many reasons to go to multiple universities, money, family and opportunity are the simplest though.

Where the hell did you get the idea that I approve of Carter? That guy is a bigger piece of shit than Palin, what with his blind support of terrorism. If that's who you're comparing her to then I don't know what to say. I was never under the assumption that Jimmy Carter was good at anything. ::)

In 2008, the repubs chose a VP with a BS in journalism from 5 colleges, and a guy who graduated 894th out of 899 in his class for President. These are facts. The Dems chose 2 guys with law degrees from prestigious universities. No matter who you like, these are facts. Dems were much more educated than the repub candidates.
When shit got hectic *in something as small as an election campaign*, what did the Repubs do? Think their way out of it? no, they panicked and came up with lamebrain moves like suspend campaigns and refuse to answer Qs at debates, referring to memorized speeches instead. On Katie Couric, Palin didn't have the brainpower to outwit a dullard like Couric. Mccain wasn't much better with his multiple 'senior moments' when his campaign actually admitted Mccain's positions don't match those of his own campaign. Frankly, they looked stupid. Smarter people who have responded to these things with smarter moves.
Obama and Biden, somehow, were smart enough to just not fck things up. Prrof is in the pudding, and the election was a landslide.
The point of this drivel?
GOP: Please run a brilliant candidate in 2012. Give Obama a run for his money. Don't settle for a good-looking person with normal brains or a experience likeable guy who isn't all that alert. Choose someone who can handle stressful situations - and handle them well.
You settle for someone with second-tier brain who looks good in a tight shirt holding a rifle, and when the election (or God forbid the actual job as President) gets tough, she will most likely do what she did during tough times before - stammer, repeat a canned speech or wose - quit.
After you guys see the names on this list (let's start with Abraham Lincoln, arguably our greatest president), this theory that Brains = Great Politics is blown out of the water. Karl Rove is on this list, as is JFK (and his wife), Steve Jobs....the list goes on.

I don't think that university education is all that important.
I think having it is good but I don't think it makes for greatness.
For example Clinton went to Oxford, but was he better then Reagan who went to small college.

In Palin's case it would be more akin to "Rouge Done Gone".

Like I said in another thread, I don't care if they went to a great school or not, but top 100 isn't much to ask for. Jumping between 5 schools while carrying a terrible GPA isn't impressive, and given the rest of her track record, doesn't do anything to make me think she should be in charge of anything involving this country.

Her GPA hasn't been posted and once she had a scholarship she settled down at Idaho State.
I know when I was young, 19-20, I had very little interest in university.
That changed when I was closer to graduating.
I try not to judge people in their late teens and early twenties.
But that's just me.

YOU CANT BE HALF OF A RELIGION DUMB SHIT...
Thanks for clarifying that ::)
Many people refer to those of mixed faith backgrounds as half jewish, half christian, half protestant, half methodist etc. In Obama's case it would make sense to refer to him as half considering his whole Kenyan side of the family is muslim, his middle name is Hussein and he went to an Islamic school in Indonesia as a youngster. Besides, the point I was trying to illustrate was that in terms of common ground with the rest of America and your average voter-- not too many Americans have Muslim fathers from Kenya or changed their name from Barry to Barak or graduated from Harvard Law School in the 70's. Way more Americans can relate to McCain and even Palin in terms of their background/ upbringing.
But you should be very proud of yourself for pointing out such an amazing inconsistency in my prior posting. One million pardons "Big Mal".

If you could be alone with her in it, you would. ;D

Being book smart is not the same thing as having basic common sense and being in touch with reality.

That's all well and good but 333 is judging Obama on a thesis paper he wrote as an undergrad.

It adds to the story of who he is since he has refused to release any of his records like most others do.
It also adds to the fact that his supporters are once again proven wrong that going to Harvard/Columbia is evidence of brilliance.
His paper is evidence of idiocy, hypocrisy, and ignorance.

LOL instead of saying "my bad" this asshole defends his posting of "half Muslim" Are you shittin me...dude that like me saying I'm "half Christian" WTF...jesus h christ..some people shouldnt be allowed to vote
LOL are you serious with this horseshit?
In terms of education and intellect I would bet your dreadlocks I am in the top one percentile of the people who post here. The same goes for being up to date with politics, current events, history and academia. Harping on a commonly used term --"half" which is part of your average every day persons vocabulary when labeling others of mixed ethnic, racial and religious backgrounds as an attempt to question my intelligence and to prop up an utterly meaningless point is pathetic. Next time why don't you knock my failure to use a semi colon or my overuse of hypenation? I honestly think that would be a better use of your time.
So for the record, I'm sorry Supreme Overlord genius of the getbig message board "big mal"-- I sincerely apologize for referring to Obama as half of anything. And I'm only half kidding. Do you think that in your vast reservoir of knowledge and wisdom you could find a way to half forgive me?

Ha ha. Better to look at Palin than at Hillary, Chebacca, or Helen Thomas no???
proof you support the Bush's and the NWO. What other reason would you leave Barbara Bush out of your list?
I knew you were full of shit. 8)

then again, some people here still mock obama for using drugs in college.

240 your posts continously agitate me because of the flip flopping your constant rationalization of conflicting viewpoints, but I am starting to think you are just confused.
You agree with jokers point, yet you spent 4 pages disparaging Palin and her GPA. Then you turn the tide to call out those who knocked Obama's drug use in college. What one has to do with the other is beyond me. But, are you now changing your tune about the importance of graduating from a top school or having a high GPA?
The only position you seem to keep with any regularity is that you hate Sarah Palin. Your consistency regarding Palin is commendable. I wish it translated to other topics.
Drug use in college or out of college is not a big deal imo unless you are in law enforcement, are a drain on the tax payer, you are hurting your children or you are a danger to the public when you use. I can't stand Obama, but I couldn't care less if he sniffed coke twice a month and smoked pot every other day from college up until now unless it affected the way he did his job as Prez.
