Having a University Degree from a "Good School" doesn't really make anyone more qualified to run a lemonade stand let alone a massive country.

Well, if I owned a lemonade stand, I'd rather have a graduate from Harvard or Yale running it than some fool who had trouble getting out of community college.

Quite the elitist point of view. You fit the Democratic agenda perfectly.

Since when is it elitist to think that somebody with an education knows more than somebody who doesnt.

Using your logic, its elitist to go to the doctor when your sick instead of going to a carpenter.

I'm sure Bill Gates' education follows your argument perfectly.



GOP success was partly due to the fact that they managed to lash together an alliance of whites particularly southern whites and rural whites, theocons and neocons, problem for them is their constituency is getting old and whites are shrinking as a percentage of the electorate. Minorities and the young are going Democrat, the GOP is absolutely moronic to go against immigration like they are doing, hispanics are the fastest growing minority and in a few decades, whites will no longer be the majority.

Also sguy78, not all are, but enough are:

Strictly speaking it is elitist, but most people misunderstand what elitism is. Elitism just means that the people who are most qualified should necessarily be the ones in power. The smart should rule over the less-smart, and so forth.

Elitism is a perfectly valid perspective, and I would say you do hold it. Don't be upset just because people misinterpret what that word means.

All I need to do to rebuke that is show any video of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Jeremiah Wright, or Louis Farrakhan. Way to show a minority as a majority. I also would never be presumptive enough to say any of them are true representatives of all black people's opinions.

Of course they are a minority that's why they lost in 2008

But the point still remains, that this is the base that Palin appeals to and why she has a good chance of getting the GOP nod

No, a big reason the Republicans lost seats was because true conservatives are tired of voting for big government Republicans who say they are for fiscal responsibility, then spend, spend, spend.

I would agree, if an education at Harvard meant anything with respect to running a lemonade stand. 

I would take a collage dropout with solid well respected leadership skills over a Harvard grad who never ran anything in there life, every time.

For example, The #1 ranked leader in business in 2007, was Mark Hurd. He has only a bachelors in business administration from Baylor University.

 



by the time (if) she runs for prsident, there might not be much of a country to run. First bush fucks us, then obama follows up.
Actually, I'm blaming the liberal controlled congress during the (*second half*) bush era for being so god damned tarded.
I don't freaking know anymore. Stimulus didn't work.. I can't wait until our currency is worth less than Zimbabwe's money.
Having a third president fuck the country wouldn't be that big of a change. Stupid political propaganda on both sides.. You can't separate bullshit from fact anymore.



And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360... And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

Her political career is over. She won't run.

As for the rest of your rant, it does hopefully have one positive outcome, and that it shows people it's not Dems or Republicans to fear, but Government control. A third party that takes us back to what made us great might just come out of this.

That's as long as the "Bush did this" BS does not last 8 years. If Obama can keep blaming Bush for everything and get away with it, we might not get anything out of the deal.
