Santorum Loved College in 2006

Especially since what Obama really SAID isn’t at all what has been turned into the talking point. What Obama said is:

And so tonight, I ask every American to commit to at least one year or more of higher education or career training. This can be community college or a four-year school; vocational training or an apprenticeship. But whatever the training may be, every American will need to get more than a high school diploma. And dropping out of high school is no longer an option. It’s not just quitting on yourself, it’s quitting on your country — and this country needs and values the talents of every American.”

This comes from Little Green Footballs

But then again, it’s only the Atheists who have a problem with telling falsehoods. /snark

Santorum has more college degrees than Obama. They both have undergraduate degrees, and both went to law school, but of the two, only Santorum has an MBA.

Santorum also have more degrees than Mitt Romney, who has an MBA but did not attend law school.

he has the same degrees as Santorum.

Thank you for the correction. Thus they both have more degrees than Obama, who merely got a regular JD from Harvard.

The man is intelligent,

This is also true, independently, although it does not necessarily follow from either “has the same degrees as Santorum” or even “has degrees from Harvard”.

he just has the consistency of a weather vane.

Why are you insulting weather vanes?

Good thing I graduated from college before Jan. 20, 2009. Otherwise, I would’ve been indoctrinated by Obama. Unless, of course, Obama used his Socialist-Muslim-Atheist time machine to go waaaaaaaaaay back to 2005 and supplant the indoctrination I guess I would’ve gotten from George W. Bush. Or something. Time travel makes my head hurt enough without involving wingnuttery.

Wait–Santorum is a hypocrite? Crap, I was content to just think he was dumb… Seriously though, he is a dangerous person to this country. He is either completely ignorant of the separation of Church/State or he understands the concept and doesn’t care that craps all over it. Either way, he is not qualified to President. The fact that he has done so well, coupled with his sweater vest, make me “want me want to throw up”.

If I were Obama, I’d hold a press conference just to say, “I think the Golden Rule is an excellent way to deal with other people,” and then wait to see how Santorum will come out against it.

Not really, the danger instead lies in there being so many conservative Christian voters who support Mr. Santorum’s arguments. I think it was H.L. Mencken who wrote [paraphrased], “We’re getting what we deserve, good and hard.”

Unfortunately, the vocal conservative activists, be they religion or fiscally driven, often have an outsized influence on the policies direction in this country.

When you look at the policies favored by self-described Republicans, Democrats and Independents, you will see that Independents tend to side with Democrats much more often that they do Republicans. Thus, in theory, anti-Republican forces should have a consistently sizable majority when it comes to driving the direction of America.

What’s frustrating is that the Democrats in Congress are rarely able to get their act together enough to take advantage of that built-in majority and spend way too much being afraid of being painted as too left-wing even for positions that have a solid backing from most Independents as well as Democrats.

Just growing a backbone would go a long way to shoring up support, and would probably force Republican opponents back toward the center once their demonization tactics stopped working. Sadly, I just don’t see it happening any time soon.

Obama should speak on the topic of breathing, and how he is strongly in favor of it. This would put paid to the entire Republican leadership.

It is discouraging to observe that the morons represent a voting bloc large enough to warrant pandering to.

What bothers me is not so much that I get what I deserve, but that I keep getting what my neighbors deserve.
