How Hillary Handles Crisis

[quote name='Deb' post='1469229' date='Feb 26 2008, 01:32 PM']Yes, it is humorous, where do you think people with money and power would go to school? What is funny is that Texas Law didn't want him but Harvard took him.

Sorry about your post. I think it came in while everyone was dog piling on me and I was scrambling to show them the error of their opinions. I have to go now so please, everyone, READ her post and dog pile on her for a while. Hand off has been made.[/quote]


yeah, it's funny, my mom went to UT, and had a really good, really RICH friend who applied there... UT was her first choice. She didn't get in there, but she did get into Harvard, which was her second choice.

Last one to dogpile Alicyn is a rotten egg!

I find some other things ol' Hill has done in years since to be just as troubling if not moreso but I am doubtful that she will take the Dem nomination, not that it matters to my vote.[/quote]


EXACTLY.... that's the point I was trying to make... there are plenty of things to complain about that are actually current events... when people have to dig something up from 20+ years ago, it makes others question our credibility, because they think, "Wow, they have to go back that far to find problems...? What's wrong, aren't the current issues enough to make their case?"

That's my point.

Just means you persevered enough to get through school. If you have no money worries at all and you don't have to work ever while going, college would be a breeze, even if you are stupid. Which he was and is.[/quote]

Harvard and Yale is a breeze? What a carload of carp. ...

Absolutely not, which is why he scraped by with C's.

ETA:

And like I mentioned before, if my daddy had the title Mr. President... strings could be pulled for me to get in anywhere I wanted.

Well yeah that's politics for ya. I guess almost everything becomes fair game. And nothing personal that I argue against the "he looks and talks like a monkey" rhetoric. In my field (I'm an artist) and the fact that I grew up in a very blue state and am moving to Europe, I'm around the hard HARD left a lot and just find it a bit tiresome. Not that I'm not being a hypocrite, because I say plenty of things about people like Hillary and John Kerry that aren't exactly charitable.

I thought Bush attended these schools well before his dad was in office?

Oy, you're right.

GHW Bush was only a member of the United States House of Representatives, the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, chairman of the Republican National Committee, Chief of the United States Liaison Office, and head of the CIA while Bush was in college.

My bad.

Sorry but I disagree and so will a lot of people here.

So you think talking about something in the past is irrelevant, then if you want you can stop posting in the thread and go create about current ones. lol

But theres going to be lots of conversations about the past about people and this is one of them. Do you have to agree with it? No, you don't. But someone might find it important while you don't and that's okay.

But I'm not surprised about this thread...its about Hilary who for months have been saying "Look at my past to prove I am the next president". That really backed fired.

And with the Internet, we got a lot more than we bargain for.

Why, when discussing this useless old one has been so much fun?

I don't understand this fascination with Bush's IQ. Historically, there has been little correlation between one's IQ and one's ability to lead a people in a positive direction.

I mean, wasn't Hitler an extremely intelligent leader?

This thread isn't 20 years old.

ROFLLL Useless? Your 24 posts on this very topic alone seem to disagree.

Hahaha... Hitler was an amazing public speaker and you could probably call him intelligent... but pulling the Hitler card... isn't that something that only liberals are supposed to do? Compare/contrast Bush with Hitler?

I could compile a list with tons of amazing INTELLIGENT leaders if you want, that weren't nutjobs like Hitler. I will when I get off work if you really need evidence to counter your point... but I'm guessing you're smart enough to know that it was a very shaky one to begin with.

[Deb]

Shhh. Now we can veer off to Hitler or to Bush or to both or their similarities or differences. Yes, Hitler was intelligient. Are you comparing Hitler's leading of Germany to Bush's leading of the U.S? Both disasterous perhaps? I had best go make dinner. I am in such a good mood.
