Thinking that majority of Black voters are ignorant is what passes for education these days? Thinking that Obamacare is free healthcare is educated? Well if that's the case, than I'd have to agree with Santorum's take on education.

You snob.

I have seen your arguments on "Obamacare". It ain't anywhere close to educated. It is all about... political talking points, right down to using a term promoted by political propaganda. Yes, they love you!

How could we ever have a third party if everyone on the left automatically claims they're racist and everyone on the right claims they're Satan?

In my world a college diploma and degree passes for an education these days.

It makes me sick every time I hear Obama (and other politicians) give speeches about the importance of education. Since when is education any politician's business? Our elementary schoolers aren't competing with the USSR for rocket science fairs anymore...

Thumbs down Majority of Americans disapprove of auto bailout

No they don't.

The latest national survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, conducted Feb. 8-12 among 1,501 adults, finds that 56% say the loans the government made to GM and Chrysler were mostly good for the economy, while 38% say the loans to the automakers were mostly bad for the economy.

You rather they sink and swim? Where will they swim to? Do what with what? Open what with what? Go from 40k a year to 15k a year and tell them to toughen up?
