1337 k4th0l1x0r Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 [quote name='flip' post='1698773' date='Nov 10 2008, 02:36 AM']I hate to judge, but I require anyone I vote for to have an advanced degree. seriously, I refuse to vote for anyone with just a bachelor's. call me a snob, but education is very important to me. you wouldn't go to a doctor if he didn't go to med school. you wouldn't trust a theologian who didn't have a theology degree. i don't trust someone in public policy that doesn't have a JD, or Masters in Social Justice, Human Rights, or Poly Sci. hell, I'll even take an MBA.[/quote] So that's no to John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, and yes to Richard Nixon and George W. Bush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin86 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Actually, Biden was chosen precisely because no one wanted him as President (you're talking about someone who only won three percent of the vote in the Presidental primaries in home state) so he wouldn't take away from Obama's stardom. You do NOT take away from Omessiah's stardom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scardella Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 BTW, going to the original post... the claims on that video are EXTREMELY hard to swallow for anyone who is in that level of public office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was better?[/quote] that's a really good point. He also began ties with China. I think JFK was planning to draw down troops before he got caped (note the cool street lingo ). I really blame LBJ.
