Well, you know how most of America feels about lawyers, don't you? One could also say that the type of education that McCain and Palin received reflects those of most Americans.

Thanks for posting this very commonsensical message. Tis a shame that the hypocrites can't be honest with themselves.

I think both sides are guilty. Everyone has announced (and rightly so) that they are tired of hearing the words "birth certificate" "legal citizen of the USA" "Acorn" "Ayers" "Rev Wright" and so on when it comes to Obama.

If it's sauce for the goose, it's sauce for the gander. It's not right but both sides (and not just on C-D) are equally to blame and I *will* argue that with anyone who disagrees with me!

What if everything was reversed?

McCain has Obama's background and vice versa.
Palin has Biden's background and vice versa.

The only way one can be sure of who is going to be successful is to look for consistent proven track record of relevant accomplishments that benefit society.

I had a college student who was struggling in college, but she had her own business and was on her way to making her first million. People have different priorities in life. The primary purpose of education is to make people useful members of society.


Education and intelligence do not guarantee success. There is more to life than being educated and intelligent to be successful.

Kaczynski graduated from Harvard in 1962 and subsequently attended the University of Michigan, where he earned a master's degree and a PhD in mathematics.[2] Kaczynski's specialty was a branch of complex analysis known as geometric function theory. He earned his PhD with his thesis entitled "Boundary Functions" by solving, in less than a year, a math problem that was unsolved by one of his professors at Michigan, George Piranian, who later commented on Kaczynski by saying, "It is not enough to say he was smart."[6] Maxwell Reade, a retired math professor who served on Kaczynski's dissertation committee, also commented on his thesis by noting, "I would guess that maybe 10 or 12 people in the country understood or appreciated it."[7] In 1967, Kaczynski won the University of Michigan's $100 Sumner B. Myers Prize, which recognized his dissertation as the school's best in mathematics that year.[7] While a graduate student at Michigan, he held a National Science Foundation fellowship and taught undergraduates for three years. He also published two articles related to his dissertation in mathematical journals, and four more after leaving Michigan later.[8]

Kaczynski is the unabomber.

Ted "the Unabomber" is from Evergreen Park, Illinois, a southern suburb at the city's edge, about 10 miles from Obama's house as the crow flies. See what we have to share in Illinois. All sorts of "intellectuals."

So true, OP. This is the first time I've seen this email, too. This is why it is RIDICULOUS when the McCain camp claims that "race has nothing to do" with this campaign. Bull.

I have some things to help you decide...

Obama for gun control
Obama for the draft(men and women)
Obama an apostate so he will have a HUGE target on his head from terrorists, more so than any other president.
Obama for partial birth abortion. That is just WRONG!
Obama wants to spend BILLIONS of dollars yet cut taxes... Hmmm where will this money come from? Doesn't add up.
Obama says US citizens need to learn spanish, not illegals learn english!

Shall I go on???

There's no such thing as "partial birth abortion."
