if you dont want someone to point out your hypocrisy, dont be a hypocrite.

I have never voted for anyone who didn't have a college degree.

Walker told a right-wing radio host his main qualification as President of the U.S. is the time he spent in Boy Scouts?

How other politicians have developed their stances, changed their minds, evolved, flip-flopped is more than germane to this thread, as you introduced the digression. So, other politicians thought progression is now at the heart of this discussion, if one can call it that.

We all get you do not really want to discuss this. Critcal thinking posters do not paint themselves into a corner, then churlishly wish to change the subject, again. Ha, Ha, Ha.

Flip flop much?

Not saying it qualifies one to be anything, but attaining Eagle Rank is not typical, nor usual. Don't be chump and denigrate something of which you know nothing. Teenage boys, 13 to age 19 are not known for their focus.

Eagle Scout is the highest advancement rank in Boy Scouting.
In 2013, 56,841 Scouts earned the Eagle Scout rank.
From 1912 to 2013, 2.3 million Boy Scouts earned the Eagle Scout rank.
Around 7 percent of all Boy Scouts earned the Eagle Scout rank in 2013.
In 2013, the average age of boys earning the Eagle Scout rank was 17 years of age.

At those ages, I was too busy honing my skills as a wide receiver (which eventually led to a full ride to play at an NCAA Division 1 school) to learn much about the boy scouts.

Frankly, we used to laugh at the kids in scouts...

Becoming commander in chief, a standard YOU just established.

So again, where did Obama learn how to be Commander in Chief?
how about the Clintons?

A lot of Governors go onto become President and dont have any international experience, many no military background either, (Obama as well)..

You can ignore this if you want, probably will because it doesnt fit into your talking point of the day.

Growing up I laughed at a friend I had who worked at McDonalds...

he now owns 6 of them and is a multi millionaire.

If we knew then, what we know now..

As a former scout of 20+ years, I'm doing just dandy, and yes, I hated you guys for always making fun of us. Thanks for the concern though.
