We need a commander-in-chief, not a law professor

I heard Sarah Palin say this in her speech (for which the zombies ferociously applauded)

In doing so, she threw the following Republicans under the bus and spun her tires on their graves:

These were all lawyers who became Republican presidents.

Lincoln
Hayes
Garfield
Arthur
McKinley
Taft
Coolidge
Nixon
Ford

While some of these are undoubtedly of questionable performance as they are remembered historically, the one that immediately jumped to mind when I heard her say this is, of course, Lincoln. That I've yet to see anyone else bring this up is almost as surprising as actually hearing her say it. So I thought I would. I just can't get over what a stupid, unaware, not-see statement that is.

She's such an idiot.

Please forgive me for the addition of yet another thread about the queen of slugs and thugs.

1. LOL, Woodrow Wilson was an adjunct law professor at New York Law School.

And he was a "war president".

How'd that work out?

3. Woodrow Wilson was a democrat.

I'm only pointing out the republicans. Particularly Lincoln.

4. At that point in history, today's republicans might have been democrats.

7. Teddy Roosevelt, who ran against Wilson in 1912 as a Progressive (Bull Moose Party) ..

Teddy Roosevelt, who was a Republican when he served as US President (1901-1909), was far more of a progressive populist as a Republican than many of the Democrats we have today. In the field of three running for President in 1912 (Woodrow Wilson - Democrat, William Howard Taft - Republican, and Teddy Roosevelt - Bull Moose (Progressive)), Roosevelt looked far more like the near-ideal Democrat by today's standards.

8. I agree

However, the exodus in the fifties and sixties over a catholic president and civil rights notwithstanding, Wilson was a democrat.

2. He is an awsome leader. I feel bad for the repubs they way he man-handles them.

It is the fact that she is so very wrong that makes her sound so stupid again.

5. she knows we really need a housewife/failed mayor/failed governor/failed candidate to run the u.s.

cause as bu$h* taught us, law is really a joke

6. Just to again try to set the record straight...

Obama was not a Law Professor, he was a Lecturer. Tremendous difference between the two positions. Constitutional expert? I sorta doubt that.

9. Have you taken university courses?

I'm wondering if you have because lecturing is what professors do.
