Found this on a comments blog:

Obama:

Columbia University - B.A. political science with a specialization in international relations.
Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude

Biden:
University of Delaware - B.A. in history and B.A. in political science.
Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)

vs.

McCain:

Palin:

North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study
University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism
Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester
University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in journalism

Now, which team are you going to hire to lead the most influential nation in the world?

The white one.

And, from what I've read, but cannot remember where, the only reason McStupid entered politics was because he couldn't get promoted to admiral, like his daddy. I suspect that given his abysmal record in almost everything, he was not going to be hired by any prominent firm, agency or whatever. I get this sense that he knew that without a single credential, his only future was in politics. And, his only future was in repuke politics. I suspect this, anyway, given that the repukes seem to attract the worst of the worst, the bottom of the barrel, the sludge at the bottom of the pond...... You get my drift.

Hahaha... Palin had more experience cause she went to more colleges...

The one who didn't use Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" as the guide to life.

. . . as the guide to life. . .

. . . care to explain your assertion?

Sure.
Hillary, Obama and the cult of Alinsky

"Barack Obama is also an Alinskyite. Trained by Alinsky’s Industrial Areas Foundation, Obama spent years teaching workshops on the Alinsky method. In 1985 he began a four-year stint as a community organizer in Chicago, working for an Alinskyite group called the Developing Communities Project. Later, he worked with ACORN and its offshoot Project Vote, both creations of the Alinsky network.

Camouflage is key to Alinsky-style organizing. While trying to build coalitions of black churches in Chicago, Obama caught flak for not attending church himself. He became an instant churchgoer.

That Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama share an Alinskyite background tells us two things. First, they are leftists, dedicated to overthrowing our Constitutional system. Second, they will go to any length to conceal their radicalism from the public. That is the Alinsky method. And that is today’s Democratic Party."


Well, depending on whether the mods consider this "lively political discussion" (Rule 1) or sowing discord (Rule 3), I may or may not be banned. I guess we'll see. I'm currently reading Rules for Radicals so I view this more discussion than discord.

From freeperville to Tehran Times ending at Rense, a discredited, anti-Semitic, UFO site.

Who do you think you're kidding?

Why don't you just come right out and call him a Communist or terrorist?
Haven't you people figured out yet that "fear and smear" only are working on the 15% that still believe that Bushyt is a good president?
Why do you hate America?

For this to be effective, the names all have to be removed.

One has to see the material in black & white, with no opportunity to allow for pre-judging based on any other internalized external chatter.

If the names are removed, and the resumes mixed up, or even if some other resumes are added in as blinds (say, BUSH'S and Bill CLINTON'S?), then you can really see some honest answers.

Clinton, Obama, and Biden would all be selected over Bush, McCain, and Palin.

But it has to be a blind selection.

That's very true. I should do that and send it to my repugnant inlaws and see what they answer.

Let's examine a few of your assertions.

Concealing "radicalism." One of Alinksy's most prominent projects as a community organizer was with the Back of The Yards neighborhood featured in Upton Sinclair's The Jungle. From this, he helped found the Industrial Areas Foundation. Here's their website

Since you're reading Rules For Radicals, you know the opening paragraph goes as such. . .

"What follows is for those who want to change the world from what it is to what they believe it should be. The Prince was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. Rules for Radicals is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away".

You feel free to explain to me how our constitution was meant to impose a Machiavellian government .

I just posted this on another forum, in response to the claim that Obama and Palin are equally "inexperienced." Why isn't Obama blasting the public with this? He is NOT INEXPERIENCED - but you never hear him talking about his record, not just in government, but IN GENERAL. Check it out - it's really freaking insane.

You forgot the top quality looked for these days to be VP: she has 5 kids.

And is a "hockey mom".

Because it doesn't matter.

Hard-right conservatives are running on the notion that the less education a politician has, the MORE qualified they are to lead.

Just keep putting a hot mic in front of Sarah's face, and it will take care of itself.

HA!! Funny... sadly, probably true amongst some.

In fact, Fatty has said repeatedly for years that "Eggheads" (those who have an education) tend to be more liberal, and that the more "Egghead they become" (more education they get) the more liberal they get.

What I don't understand is, what's wrong with being a "Liberal"? Why/How is this word used with negative connotation???

I read your egghead comment and it popped into my mind that one of McCain's spokesmen called Obama a, "pointy-headed professor" after a frustrating exchange with a reporter.



I think it started to change around the time republicans started conflating, "liberal" with, "communist."

And, wears lipstick.
