So this one’s done.

Of the other three self-made candidates, only Barack is running for POTUS. Vote for him. Your side had your chance, wholly. You sucked, you were corrupt, you spent too much money. Time to see if the other side sucks.

Now that you’ve completely revealed yourself, let’s be honest. There is no mystery. We already know your side sucks. (obvious logical remark removed by author) Remember Jimmy Carter and 444 days of America Held Hostage? Double digit inflation rates? Stagflation? Carter is Obama’s hero.

Legacy, working off his family connections, self-infatuated, grade-inflated into Harvard, self-congratulating C student. Never should have been President, I completely agree with you.

So lets skip daddy was an admiral, bottom-of-class, partying flyboy, self-described louse to his first wife, married into mob liquor money John McCain.

Personally, I’m very glad that the Republican ticket has two non-lawyers, non-Ivy League grads up against two lawyers, one from Harvard and one from Syracuse. We have a Congress full of lawyers–we don’t need two more as President and VP.

Have you ever considered why there is NO minimum education requirement to run for President? This isn’t a competition of college degrees, it’s a contest between people.

When you compare what the four people involved have accomplished, it’s clear that McCain and Palin have both done more than Obama and Biden.

From Biden’s website:

Senator Biden grew up in New Castle County, Delaware. He graduated from the University of Delaware in 1965, and from the Syracuse University College of Law in 1968. Prior to his election to the Senate, Biden practiced law in Wilmington, Delaware and served on the New Castle County Council from 1970 to 1972.

So, Biden was a lawyer of some kind (no litigation) for from one to four years (not clear how many), then elected to the Senate. No executive experience. Democrats have rejected him as a Presidential candidate every time he tried to achieve that prize. He’s always been found wanting, even by Democrats, including earlier this year. Plus, he is an easily dislikable, shifty-eyed, sneaky-weasel individual. There is a rumor that he and Senator Chuck Schumer are long-lost brothers, they are both so similar in this respect. He’s never been heard to criticize another Democrat.

Obama was a “community organizer” (whatever that is) enmeshed in Chicago politics. He claims to be a “law professor” but he was apparently something more like a lecturer. He decided to “go along to get along,” getting chummy with a confessed terrorist, either because the Bill Ayers connections could do something for him politically, or because he was sympathetic with the Ayerses’ radical terrorist ideology and tactics.

If you want to know more about McCain and Palin, I suggest other diaries on this site and in the news. I’ll just point out the obvious, that both of them are clearly people who put their constituents and the country before their own party and their own ambitions.

I have one non-political friend in Alaska. Speaking for his family, he wrote me that

WE LIKE HER A LOT. SHE’S A REAL PERSON AND NOT TIED TO PARTY
SOLIDARITY AT ALL COSTS. SHE’S NOT PERFECT AND I DISAGREE OCCASIONALLY

BUT CAN’T THINK OF A BETTER PERSON TO BRING SOME HUMANITY TO
POLITICS. (AS IN HUMANE).

That last sentence, as much as anything, will tell you why McCain-Palin will win. (I pasted in my friend’s quote before I read it. That’s how confident I was that it would be appropriate.)

The Ivy Leaguers I have met are so typical, so cookie-cutter self-absorbed that they are laughable caricatures of competent people. I cannot think of one Ivy Leaguer I have met who has done anything but trade on their parents’ money, or name, or ethnicity to get where they have gotten.

They may think the world revolves around them, but if you want the world changed, Ivy Leaguers need to be skipped (the best thing Bill Gates did was drop out of Harvard, for example). And your infatuation with them makes me think there is a little something missing in your life as well.

Having known a great many Ph.Ds, this is what I’ve found- that many have only their degrees to cling to in order to justify their claims to importance. I sure hope when I get mine I can cling to something else. Like God or guns. S

When she resigned from that board because of internal corruption there.

When she gave up her private life to take on and defeat the corrupt sitting Governor in the Republican primary, then became Governor herself and continued to fight for clean government.

Since I don’t know much about her, that’s almost it from me, for now.

Yet, I can guess that you are getting ready to write, “But that was only for Alaska, not for the country.”

As much as you do it for the least of our people (city and state), so do you also for for the whole country. Besides, last but not least,

She also served when she sent her son off to boot camp and will continue to do so until he leaves the Army.

To conflate a U.I. BA with a Harvard JD is a denigration of our educational process.

It’s high time the “educational process” of today was “denigrated.”

Most law schools, especially on the scale of Harvard, do not teach law. Rather, they teach what others have said about the law, what others have said about what others have said, and so on.

More importantly, I believe law schools today seek to teach creative ways to defy the law and to force their leftist agenda on a society that doesn’t want it.

In general though, colleges too often teach abstract theories that do nothing to help 99 percent of people in the performance or success of their job.

Is that what you have said to every parent of a pregnant teen or unwed mother?
