College records, pffft.
I dare them to compare his birth certificate.
However, the schooling he did receive was far better than the tripe our kids are exposed to nowadays. When he lived close enough to a school he could walk to he went to it. When his family moved to where there were no schools, he kept up his studies. He read and understood Euclid and used his book to exercise his brain for his famous debates.
I also read a testimony from his cousin who said that Abe would practice "speechifying" by standing on a stump giving long orations to all his playmates, even adding "large gesticulations," which included waving his long, lanky arms and bowing magnificently to his audience.
His cousins loved it all.
I would vote for Scott.
I will NOT vote for Jeb.
That’s NOT...as in absolutely positively no way would I raise the energy to spit on the picture of that creep.
I agree,
the ferociousness of some of the Cruz-Palin-bots in trying to take Walker down so early for not being talk radio pure enough sometimes is irresistible for me to join in and tweak them. Obviously is GOP poll rise has driven them nuts.
And Walker appears to be pandering on some stuff giving them ammunition.
I think its way too early to settle in.
Article draws comparison between Scott Walker, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Good read. Synopsis: all three have changed America without a college degree.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest pinng list.
“Education has nothing to do with greatness.”
Or intelligence! :)
I relate to Governor Walker on so many levels. I never finished my Business degree - a few credits shy - yet have been trusted to run two multimillion dollar operations (Construction & Ag-related) and one non-profit.
And by ‘run’ I mean, ‘not run into the ground,’ LOL!
Love My Gov! :)
Scott Walker is currently my favorite choice.
I thought the idea was to go into this primary with ONE candidate that we could all agree on. One candidate so the gope can’t get their guy nominated.
After the speech in Iowa that later had Walker up over 50% in the polls, that doesn’t pass the smell test. something very fishy is going on.
I honestly saw on another thread one poster wrote they thought Walker could unite the tea party and the gop. NO I want to defeat the gope.
It has everything to do with greatness. However, the current idea of "education", meaning ivy league totalitarian leftists are somehow smart and educated, may be the farthest thing from actually being educated.
Genuine education brings character, intelligence, and targeted action together. In politics, Reagan comes to mind here.
Win what?
After eight years of Obama and exec orders and gay marriage of DADT repeal .......there is yearning to not have that extended to 16.
They wont buy that Walker is the same as Hillary so we might as well let Hillary take the WH while we make our symbolic votes and lose to Dems.
Walker has a record of beating Dems over and over and driving them nuts, in fact there is a reason why they are targeting him over all the others, when at this time 2007 they were praising McCain.
Will he pee me off in future? Only time will tell.
Just a little correction here, so you can see a bit more clearly: Those who liked (and still like) Palin here are split about fifty fity over Walker.
I've been fairly vocal in chiding a few of the Cruz "bots" supporters for their over the top attempts to demonize Walker, as if tearing down another candidate was the way to further their own candidate.
Now you come along and seem to enjoy insulting those who prefer Cruz by using the "bot" brush.
You might want to rethink that, it's the same juvenile nastiness in reverse.
When your major is “Political Science”, having or not having a degree is meaningless. I’d have a different opinion if it was engineering, pharmacy, physics, medicine or any other technical or science field.
HAHA, read the quote from me that you copied into your comment to me.
It clearly says “...the ferociousness of some of the Cruz-Palin-bots in .....
Now focus on the word ‘some’ in it,
From online dictionary:
some
2. used to refer to someone or something that is unspecified
If the shoe fits its you, if it doesn't then its not.
That is my ‘rethinking’. Thanks for the useless lecture.
If the Obama regime proved anything, it is that advanced degrees from elite institutions mean you will dictate based on your theoretical utopian vision, not based on reality or what the people want and need.
He could also lose for the Republicans.
Your incapacity to go beyond thinking so highly of yourself is astonishing sometimes.
Such a jack ass post, in addition to being paranoid and fan boyish, might carry a little more weight could you point to a single post that is applicable. Until then STFU
I don't think so. I think Cruz or Walker will win if they can get the nomination. Why do you think Walker could lose (in the context of your reply above)?
