...”Lib logic:
Obola went to Harvard = genius.
Walker did not complete college = idiot.
George W went to Harvard and Yale = idiot.”...

Perhaps I have forgotten, but I cannot recall very much about the college years of Obama except that he went to Harvard Law School. I wonder why his pre-Harvard years have not been examined since Scott Walker is already under the liberal microscope and he is not yet declared to be running for President.

I’m glad that Howard Dean and the democrats are making fun of Walker, since that means that they’re making fun of the vast majority of the US population.

According to the US Census Bureau there were about 42 million Americans, 18 years and older who had college degrees. (Voting begins at 18 years old)

The US population is about 320 million now. That means about 14% of the US voting age population has a college degree. That means that 85% of the voting age population does NOT have a college degree.

Do you think they’ll appreciate being told they’re worthless and their ideas don’t count because they didn’t get a piece of paper?

Lack of a college degree is at least irrelevant and quite possibly an asset. It shows he is a self starter because he has got so far. He is not burdened by some of the assumptions and attitudes that seem to come with that degree. The one degree that I would consider a plus for a presidential candidate is the one RR had, Economics, and it from a small college that was not infected with Keynesianism and outright socialism.

Scott Walker should mention this quote by Howard Dean, in fact, he should poke fun of it like no tommorrow.

I have come to believe that all we officially know about Hussein is false. He seems more like a malevolently conceived and executed CGI construct than an actual person.

Where is the proof?

Where is the proof of any of the claims about this man's background and accomplishments? Talk about a Manchurian Candidate!

Add in the millions of us with degrees who know that getting one, by itself, indicates almost nothing.

However, what I have found among plenty of educated people are the same problems as the non educated, including gullibility, stubbornness, and complacency with the status quo.

I worked for 9 years as security at a large beach resort and met many many college graduates and soon-to-be grads. I saw that and came to think of it as a Rule, almost a natural law. Of course, the serious students with actual sense in their heads would not be going to these places for spring break or summer vacation so I did not see a fairly representative sample.
Another observation was that each year the spring break and summer crowd of 17 to 30 year olds got stupider and more self destructive. My last year out there the theretofore steady slope seemed to take a dive such that I truly feared for my country as these kids are our future Captains of Industry and Political Leaders.
I would trust the steadiness and sense of a non-grad way before I trust a man with impressive degrees.

Ridicule. That is what this should be greeted with.

Yeah, look how a college education worked out for really smart folks like... Joe Biden!

He certainly is a construct of some sort. The absolute dogged loyalty media and Democrats bestow on him in the face of overwhelming contradictory evidence and actions is unprecedented. I thought Clinton’s supporters were bad. Now I’m just convinced the whole lot are minions of the Devil, myself.

I agree. My college degree was worthless by itself.

Keep mocking people without college degrees, Howard. Good strategy.

I should have used the voting age population instead of the US population. In that case it would be 42 million divided by 235 million or about 18%. That would mean about 82% of the voting age population doesn’t have a college degree. The point still holds. Let the democrats tell 82% of the population that their opinions and decisions are worthless because in the opinion of the democrats the lack of a piece of paper says those who don’t have that piece of paper issued by a college are worthless human beings.

Lest we forget, here's super smart Dean talking and screaming intelligently in 2004. Did he learn that scream in college?

The Dean Scream on YouTube - at around the 0:36 mark.

Look at all the education Dean got, just to raise him to the level of naive and stupid.

If Obama and his education are an example of what makes a president then we sure don’t need any more.
With all his secret Education,he has single Handedly destroyed the last 6 1/2 of life in the United States of America.
As for Me, I’ll take Scott Walker any day, over this Racist Hustler anytime.
My vote would be for Walker, Every day of the week
