Who does that?
What difference does it make? I find it pretty damn petty to complain about someone didn't like the weather so they went to different college.

She graduated, didn't she? I thought you liberals were all so keen on graduating from college?

Now you complain when someone actually DID get a college degree.

Geesh! make up your minds.

Purely your opinion. One I do NOT agree with.

By the way, "
"For that relatively broad collection of students, the average time to get their bachelor’s degree was six years and four months -- even higher than what Johnson claimed.
The time was shorter -- five years and 10 months -- for students who began college within a year of finishing high school; those are arguably the "kids" Johnson was referring to.
And for students who started their college studies at a four-year institution, rather than a two-year school, the average was five years and eight months."


On average, a college degree takes six years, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson says | PolitiFact Wisconsin


So Palin graduated from high school in 1962 and graduated from college in 1967.


Looks like she was average in time with the rest of the people who graduate from college.


Not bad for some one who worked her way through.

Yes, that's it exactly. You have put your finger on the exact reason why people don't like Sarah Palin: Her college degree.

You must be extremely intelligent to have figured that out.

We LOVE guys like Donald Trump and Chris Christie! They really tell it like it is!

If only that PUTIN guy was available! Now THERE'S a leader for ya!
I never know that Vlad was a "Naturalized American". Was he really born in Alaska? LOL

Libs never get tired of attributing imaginary $$$T to the opposition as the basis of their argument. In fact that is lib stock-in-trade, isn't it?

"You must be extremely intelligent to have figured that out"

Obviously YOU are NOT because you come in and attempt to insult WITHOUT following the conversation that HAS BEEN GOING ON.

Are you REALLY willing to put your creditability and repudiation on an article from this OBVIOUS Anti-Palin site.

Maybe it was written by that so-called journalist who rented the house next door from her JUST to spy on her and her family.

Talk about having an obsession!

And many on the left criticize FOX. I will keep this and post it as an example of what the left calls "news" every time a leftie complains about FOX.

But, don't feel bad because I certainly will give YOU credit for finding this "most intellectual" site.

I'm unclear on why there's all the Sarah Palin discussion in this thread; is she there?

I agree, I'd much rather see Mia Love.

LOL
And as I said before, popular vote does not necessarily win elections. Obviously.

Why are you being obtuse?
