Presidents Washington, Jackson, Lincoln, Truman, Johnson (both), Nixon, Ford and Reagan and quite a few others weren't Ivy League graduates. Heck, many of them never attended college at all! BTW, President George W. Bush graduated from both Yale and Harvard.

Why be doomed? They’re a freaking dime a dozen.

to me that's an asset, sort of like not being a Yankee.

I would prefer someone who wasn't brainwashed by a liberal education camp (AKA Ivy league college)

No more Bushes and no more Ivy Leaguers!

U of Idaho is just fine.

If we let these elitist swine ruin our country we have only ourselves to blame.

It was libel about blood. What’s their problem? That she stepped onto a word that they’ve already allocated to something else?

Who are they to allocate words?

Alan Dershowitz Defends Palin on ‘Blood Libel’
http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/257003/alan-dershowitz-defends-palin-blood-libel-daniel-foster

In a statement to BigGovernment.com:

The term “blood libel” has taken on a broad metaphorical meaning in public discourse. Although its historical origins were in theologically based false accusations against the Jews and the Jewish People, its current usage is far broader. I myself have used it to describe false accusations against the State of Israel by the Goldstone Report. There is nothing improper and certainly nothing anti-Semitic in Sarah Palin using the term to characterize what she reasonably believes are false accusations that her words or images may have caused a mentally disturbed individual to kill and maim. The fact that two of the victims are Jewish is utterly irrelevant to the propriety of using this widely used term.

If anyone questions Sarah’s intelligence remind them that the smartest people in the country are the ones who got us into this mess. We need someone in the White House who loves our country. We need a patriot for President!

“...Sarah Palin will probably never become President of the U.S. because she does not have an Ivy League education.”

That’s a PLUS, in my book.

Harvard was bought by Arabs for the usurping, sissy-boy...where are his “brilliant” academic records?

AND, I have a frazzled, depressant-using sister, who attended Harvard...she voted for the sissy-boy with no academic (or otherwise) record. ‘Nough said.

Best bet for the nation is to simply prohibit anyone with as much as 2 semesters attendance at an Ivy League institution from holding public office.

These people are too talented to waste their abilities playing politics ~ they should stick to research, medicine and doing property title searches or something.

I guess that the fact that she could out debate the Loon doesn’t matter.

After all, he - bought his toy degree from Harvard fair and square.

Or did he? Where did that money come from?

And who convinced that joke of a school to lower their standards so much?

Yo Joe Romaine, give me a break.

Off the track record of what Ivy alums have done to the nation & the Constitution while in Washington D.C., I consider Palin blessed to be unencumbered by an elitist educational pedigree ... and not just because it's easier breathing when your head isn't firmly wedged up your own ...

Anyone who has every worked with an Ivy League grad knows they don’t make good employees.

There are, of course, members of her own Republican Party who also ridicule her and believe she is unfit to hold public office.

No. The elitist punks fear her.

BTW, wasn't she a Republican Vice Presidential candidate? Hmmm.
