So you’re saying where you received your degree is more important that what you learned, how you’ve applied it, and your character? Well, the GW certainly was qualified, wasn’t he – after all – it’s all about the degree.

@Dave
That is why I too am an independent. After doing research, I do not fit in with either party – especially when the left wing & right wing nuts start speaking. This country can not continue to prosper if we continue as we have. Anyone that even knows the basics of history knows that every great nation has risen and fallen. Although it kills me to say it, I believe that we are about to witness the fall of Rome.

Do you really think personal attacks are necessary? Apparently, because there are much more things that you could be concentrating on other than a soon to be former governor who’s chances of becoming POTUS are very slim.

Really? Wait ’til we’re under Obamacare. Then see if you have the choice. Of course you could try to find your medical care in another country.

Here’s a tiny clue. With Sarah Palin as President this national security conservative will never ever have to go to bed wondering if I will wake up to a President apologizing to the world about America, cutting our defenses left and right, and diving into the sack with Castro and Chavez over some Central American country. It just flat out won’t happen.

Space Agent Zulo, this is why I, a registered independent who has always had misgivings about both parties, cannot see the GOP base as intellectually honest. That you could argue this with respect to someone who believes she has the right to a government office that will summarily protect her from her constituents’ complaints smacks of logical absurdity.

Remember the nonsensical un-names characters in “Idiocracy” had? Don’t Track and Trip and Trig fit right in? Sarah Palin will (I hope) never be president, but in some idiot future America Slughead Dogwhip Palin Jr. may inhabit the Oval Office. He or she won’t know what an oval is, though.

You know what? This is so not true that it’s not even funny. It’s an anti-intellectual argument. What, pray tell, is wrong with being elist when it comes to our leaders? And degrees actually matter – sorry. They do – they are the only indication we have besides how someone behaves and speaks – and Sarah behaves inappropriately and speaks some garbled language that is not English as we English majors know it – of what kind of leader someone will be and whether they have the INTELLECTUAL CHOPS to be president.

Damn you simple-minded fools – I don’t want any more idiots in the White House. George W was quite enough and more than enough. I wish you people would find something else to do besides muck around in things you aren’t really all that well educated in yourselves.

I am an elitist when it comes to some things. I don’t go to a doctor who dropped out of 5 colleges and got his damn medical degree in the mail. I don’t want a president with that CV, either. And no one with the sense god gave a goose should want that either. I mean really.
