Which personally offended me as a non college educated individual who is far from stupid. I read for example extensively, even published 3 books, probably smarter than most, my home library has about 30,000 books in it..

How about yours?
If you read so much, reread my posts and try to comprehend them instead of fabricating the meaning.

no need to reread them.. I know what I keyed and I stand by my statement.

You guys ran around telling us for YEARS, that ACA was going to insure every american, and we were stupid for believing otherwise.

or how Welfare stimulates, but yet every area of the nation with massive welfare has never been lifted up due to this type of spending.

NONE of what you guys have been peddling as "true", is the truth. its some weird fantasy cult you guys belong to or something

It validates reasons why liberals are always wrong. Are you now going to tell me you didnt support ACA, the stimulus bill etc?

"You guys" would be YOU GUYS, who support CRAP.. if thats you, then so be it.. Stop supporting crap and I'll stop attacking crap..

Why is it necessary to lie when it is so easily proven to be a lie?

Walker graduated high school in June of 1986 and entered Marquette in the fall and dropped out in Spring 1990. That is 3 1/2 years, not 6 and he had 94 completed credits which is 31 a year, which is a normal progression.

While Walker was earning Eagle Scout, Obama was smoking ganja with the bros at his elite prep school.

Frankly, we used to laugh at the kids in scouts...
Yeah, the football players were well known for their brains in high school and how well they treated everyone else in high school.

Over your head is trading five top terrorists for a deserter. Over your head is promising grave consequences for crossing a red line and then not following through. Over your head is being given current intelligence on where a hostage is and then sitting on the information 30 days because you are too scared to make a definitive decision and then they die.

What a joke.

What bothers me the most is that Walker is a dropout.
If college taught the ability to follow logic there wouldn't be a single Democrat with a college degree. The same goes for business, economics and history. Degrees in Lesbian Poetry and Social Ecology aren't helpful in the real world.

Try naming one. How many Senators?
jojajn is the one who asked about small business owners, pg was just providing what was asked for.

So now that pg's assertion has been proved accurate, it no longer matters?

First day in Litigation 101, "never ask a question you don't know the answer to". Ditto for the banjoman.

Then obviously you have a very dead end career if your job is easier than college. We have seen highly educated boobs like Obama and Carter make a mess of the country. Maybe it is time to go the route of someone different.

No, you shifted your focus AFTER you had the answer you didn't like.

You need a degree to be a commissioned officer in the military.

You can't join the FBI, the CIA or virtually any federal position without a college degree.

Should we remove the college requirement from these positions so we don't have all federal employees with more education than the president? After all, he would be their boss.
I am not a SW supporter(Rand Paul 2016!), but I couldn't care less that he lacks a degree.

I have two of them if it matters.

You had better present those degrees for approval to the Committee for Walkerphobia.
