Daisy McLintock Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Sorry guys, but I'm with Hollies on this one. I'm now at my fourth college earning my degree. I've attended multiple colleges because I took classes over several years plus I changed my major from computer science to writing, hence, all the extra classes. As Hollies stated, it doesn't matter how many colleges you go to, point is, is that you get your degree.Another interesting phenomena regarding education -- the young woman who sits next to me in philosophy, well, she couldn't spell the word probably but she could certainly decipher premises and conclusions at the snap of her fingers, something which took me a number of hours to learn. So, to each his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelina Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 You mean it ISN'T true that Reagan was dumb, W is dumb & Palin is dumb? The attacks on Palin remind me of 1981 redux. She is now the leader of the Conservative movement. IMHOJohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Hollies!...You get your old professor drunk and laid at the best frat parties...your grades go up a notch.Whatever qualifications our boy had going into 2001, he FAILED almost every fiscal conservative, public relations, diplomacy and accountability test that was thrown at him in a difficult time. He has overseen the partial meltdown of effective capitalism. He has allowed the seeds of socialism to grow and actually look like legitimate alternative to this mess of an economy. Now, all the once strong "free market" corporate symbols are lining up at the Gub-ment soup-line and begging for bailout money, and your useless Bush is sitting back and letting his Mob-like buddy, "Shifty" Paulson speak out of both sides of his mouth while adding 2-3 trillion to the National Debt!Yes, Bush did help keep us from another "Terrrrrrrrist" Attack! However, with the budget he had to work with, I bet a monkey with an attitude could have done the same job!Other than a couple of moral stances on social issues, and a couple of good choices to the Supreme Court, Bush ruined the Republican Party and made the fiscal conservative movement look like a the biggest bunch of hypocrits. If there was a way to THROW THE BUM IN JAIL for the rest of his life, just for making so many bad decisions, over and over, and not being able to communicate his case when he was in the right...well, I'd be OK with that.

Tony Cartmill Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 He's a stupid leader. But his friends sure did get rich while he was in power... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollies65 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Name me a president whose friends didn't get rich while the president was in power. Clinton's friends all got rich at Fannie Mae. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sterling Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Thank you Tony. Bush is a moron. He is not interested in much of anything. He has a complete lack of intellectual curiosity and no passion for anything most of us can detect. He used Daddy's connections to avoid Vietnam and then got transferred to Alabama and went AWOL and still got an honorable discharge. Those are facts. He surrounded himself with neocons that have set this country back many years. He also ruined the GOP and we need good reliable conservatives like Barry Goldwater, etc. What will we remember W for? Kark Rove, Donald Rumsfeld, Scooter Libby, Dick Cheney...amongst others. The tribe has spoken...."Its Time to Go" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollies65 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 "He went AWOL" "Those are the facts". See,I don't care if people hate Bush...Lack of leadership and abandonment of true conservative principles has hurt the Republican party. New leadership is coming...don't worry.You state that Bush went AWOL, and that this is a fact. If you were a news anchor on a major network saying that kind of stuff...I predict you'd lose your job. Heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Right-o Steve. But it's mandatory for idealogues to recite all the Lib talking points whether they are true or not...Here's a thought:One thing we should have re-learned from 8 years of Bush leadership - When you rely on "Gub-ment" to solve your big problems, you are going to be disappointed.So what do we do? We elect Mr.(Hi, I'm Barack and my Big Gub-ment will fix everything!)Obama!And the magic credit card limit and interest rate just keep goin' up...

TheScentLady Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Who cares how many colleges you attend to get your degree? Getting your degree is the bottomline. Hmmmm Palin went to 4 colleges...and is now a Govenor...well done Sarah. At least I know how to spell 'governor.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelina Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 James Garner was a long time spokesperson for the beef industry. We all know which state produces the most beef. It's Texas!!!Connect the dots and you will find that James Garner gained financially from the corrupt Bush meat policies while Bush was Gov. of TX.Furthermore...Halliburton is headquartered in Houston.....so needless to say, James Garner and Halliburton, wait...I mean James Garner (Maverick) and Dick Cheney....are in bed together all because of Bush policies.......and the wonderful taste of beef."It's what's for dinner". signed.......Keith Olbermann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnO Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Yeah, but what do you expect from a President who seems to really believe that God talks to him? (Or....was this yet another ploy cooked up by Rove just to get votes from the religious right? Will we ever truly know?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
