I think Bobby Jindal should be given a chance and Paul Ryan, though only a Congressman, has deep respect from all corners of Congress for his grasp of issues and intellectual prowess.
We've already had 10 months of seeing the damage the narcissist-in-chief can do in the White House!

Besides Palin's ignorance, lack of understanding and anti-intellectual approach, the thing that really does it for me is her RELIGION. Why can't these people just shut up about religion and keep it to themselves? These Evangelical anti-intellectual people believe that dinosaurs and men co-existed just like in the Flinstones cartoons. I could never vote for someone who can be this ignorant.

President Bush attended Yale as well as Harvard Business School yet people still said he was an idiot. You can't say Obama is very well educated therefore superior when Bush was arguably better educated and labeled a simpleton. The point being, Education doesn't make a person.

How many times have you said that, based on some example ("whatever"), you could never vote Republican? Seriously...haven't you said this before like multiple times after saying that you are neither a D or an R?

As far as the point goes...I could give a flying F where they went to college. There are plenty-o-tards that have gone to Ivy League Schools. Pedigree means nothing to me after seeing the stupidity some of these "prestigious" schools produce. That being said, I wouldn't vote for Palin. I think she would guarantee a loss for the R's. I mean...no way in hell I'd vote for Harvard Law School guy (apparently that's really impressive??) because he's proven his genius, so I guess I either wouldn't be voting at all or would be voting for someone who doesn't stand a chance. Unfortunately, no viable third party candidate is jumping out there. A third party candidate could probably do well as long as they aren't too extreme either way and talk smack about both sides (which would be easy to do).

Exactly. People like names. Overall...Hard sciences are hard sciences. It really doesn't matter where the hell you learn them as long as you get all the info. Soft sciences (opinions...pretty much) are a different story. And that doesn't matter either because they are all arguable.

You just hate republicans and conservatives- we get it.

So pretty much nothing you will ever say is worthy for discussion. How can there be any discussion after what you post can be summed up as a rant that says "I hate republicans and conservatives"? Your threads are always trollish.

I don't think Obama has enough experience at running anything to be president, and he IMO is doing a pathetic job and is pretty much a double talking liar. That being said, Palin is a quitter, period. We don't need a quitter running the country. She already had enough negative things working against her before, then she quit on her voters in Alaska when the going got rough. She has no backbone. She can run her mouth in interviews and books, but when the REAL pressure was on her in office, she QUIT.

I hope the GOP is not stupid enough to nominate her. I know there are some that want to, but I don't think there are enough. Why don't they get it? Quitters never win!
