What do our Gov. and the Gov. of Arizona have in common?

[Sabien]

Neither of them have a college degree.

Look it up.

1. Do you have to have a college degree

to be intelligent? I think not. And your point is?

[Sabien]

2. Well, he's not qualified to be a...

substitute teacher in Wisconsin for example.

7. He will be, it was part of his campaign platform.

Since his stat answer seems to be "anyone surprised by this wasn't paying attention...I campaigned on this issue", I decided to look at what he campaigned on.

Shit that didn't fly so well on the campaign trail (like cuts and changes to Medicaid programs) were quickly removed from the campaign list and ended up buried in this unnecessary (no statuatory trigger) budget repair bill. It's the way Walker operates.

3. Limited cerebral skills

I went to college with guys like him. A 2.6 GPA makes him so-so smart. They can grasp basic concepts, but unable to digest complex thoughts and ideas.

Guys like him are at best mid-management material at a small time mom-pop business.

4. Smart enough to know how to cash a check

but not bright (or morally motivated or decent enough) to care who's paying him for what.

That whole Republican "ME first" thing, again.

10. I dunno...would you really want someone like Walker or Dubya or

Palin running the fry machine at McDonald's? That is, if you didn't want under cooked fries, burned fries, or a grease fire.

[cognoscere]

9. Your reply to the original statement seems to imply that you

consider Walker to be intelligent. If so, you must think Dubya and Palin to be the greatest people since Einstein and Marie Curie. To go a little farther, no, one does not need a college degree to be intelligent and conversely, a college degree is not evidence of intelligence (just look at Dubya and Palin for proof of that) However, intelligent people generally have little or no trouble getting a college degree (as evidenced by AP courses in high school and college) People like Dubya, Palin, AND Walker...not so much.

11. He didn't finish because he couldn't hack it

big difference then not going for financial or already have a great career reason. But I agree, when people point that out there should be a clarification - although it's hard to do because Americans love simple slogans without the depth.

That said, those in elected office at that level should have a degree OR the ability to earn one legitimately. Seems we recently had a president that had his degree paid for by his daddy and then his election paid for by daddies cronies. If said president had had to really earn his degree we could have been spared his doufusness in office.

Word has it he was asked to leave for cheating.

5. We know one thing for sure.

Gov. Wanker is smarter than any dumbass that voted for him.

6. Stupid in WI

Many, many people in WI (at least where I live) do not value education. In fact, they consider educated people "elite" and that is something to be feared.

[cognoscere]

8. Actually, there are many people like that all over the country/world.

I used to work with a clown who bragged about not having a college education. They should all get T-shirts that say something like, "Possibly intelligent, somewhat ignorant, substantially uneducated...and proud of it!"
