Liberals are funny. They wont vote for a person because of no college degree. Yet, Liberals have some of the most fubared degrees that have no , absolutely no, value to anyone, business etc except the college they purchased it from, and the government loan that made interest off of them..
Liberals, is that degree you have of any value other than the paper its printed on..
Tech school, and trade schools are just as valuable to society. Dont judge a person due to not having a degree.
And Scott Walker is doing a better JOB than most politicians as to the running of his state he was Elected to run.

Consider the number of Harvard and Yale graduates we've had for President, Presidential candidates, Senators, and/or other government officials. Why would we think having a college graduate is better for the government of this country?

This is funny because I am a liberal and I voted "yes."

Sure. A college degree doesn't necessarily equate to intelligence or common sense.

Reagan graduated from Eureka College, but you make a good point about George W Bush. He has degrees from Yale and Harvard. Does anybody think that Bush was a good president? And I say this as a convervative.

Knowledge comes in many ways. Institutional learning is overrated. In the end, Walkers problems arent going to be about institutional credentials, it is going to be that his anti-working class, Ayn Randian conservatism doesn't resonate with the majority of the USA.

This type of thinking drives me nuts.

Reading past posts from those denigrating Walker, claims are made that Reagan and Bush were the most brain dead moronic and damaging presidents ever (a false narrative) yet they had college degrees. Carter and Obama crushed the nation to third world status (a false narrative) yet they had college degrees. So the question remains, why is a college education considered an important requisite for the job of president? From all the whining and complaining, it would seem the opposite is more likely.
