Thread Name: BS: Question on McCain's academy record
Subject: RE: BS: Question on McCain's academy record
Hi Ebbie......I was thinking the same thing and the old joke is, "What do you call the person who finishes last in his med school class?"--------Doctor.
Once again, I don't want the guy as a President but we have a zillion threads on the friggin' election, the majority slamming someone. Back and forth and back and forth and in the end?????????
In some other one of these multitudinous threads they discuss whether personality or other things is what gets elected. The truth is that even with these two which are about as far apart as it ever gets, neither one will accomplish a tenth of what they promise (or desre) after taking office. The system doesn't allow it. Our best chance is with Obama....my opinion and others mileage may vary. To that end its important to take into account the personality and the decision making potentials of various candidates so their past becomes important.
Problem (to me) is that we focus so heavily we lose sight of how stupid some of the stuff is. I love Kendall, but think about it. McCain graduated from Annapolis, no mean feat even with the advantages of family he had. You still have to do the work and make the grade even if its low. The Honor ethic makes it tough to just slide by.
So now what? Do we find that Pailn used illegal ammo to shoot a moose? Or did Obama fail algebra and had to repeat? We know Biden plagiarized some crap in college. Why do we really care about it?
If we had this level of communication and knowledge and the same interest in crappola as a people for the past 225 years, we'd have had entirely different people in the White House. No maybes about it.....Time for a method change.
