The Party of Identity Politics and keeping everyone in a box, the Party of the KKK , the Party of Byrd .. those are the racists.

How about..”hey I’m a republican and he believes what I believe and I’m voting for him.”

Instead you sit her trying to convince yourself the smart black guy got a free pass, while the dumb white guy is smarter than his grades…whatever.

That present law-school elite has become harder to join. Prior to 1999, with rampant grade inflation, upwards of 70 percent of law students graduated with honors. But now only the top 40 percent are granted cum laude status; the top 10 percent are designated magna cum laude.

Wow! That’s just great! Elect him and you’ll probably be using oil lamps at your local library.

V.M.I. itself was simply not known at all for it’s academics at the time, and entrance was based far more on character than academic achievement. He had been a poor student in high school. He had not even applied for admission to West Point.

In fact, Marshall did not receive a colllege degree from V.M.I., as the rules at the time provided that only the top five in the class qualified for that distinction when he graduated. He had to pass an examination, unlike corresponding West Point grads at the time, and also garner numerous political recommendations in order to get an army commission.

Too bad most of the MSM didn’t tkae their noses out of their books and make more of those keg parties. There they might have learned something useful.

I had two roomates kicked out because of bad grades — very different than an Ivy. Once one gets into an Ivy college, the university tries very hard to avoid anybody not graduating.

Every time his “intelligence” is discussed, Obama supporters should be laughed at over the 57 states AND the 20 years listening to Rev. Wright without ever hearing anything objectionable enough to leave.

I consider Obama a gifted speaker, but the kind of con man who starts out discussing how one must be careful to avoid con men.

Today, McCain should be going for even straighter straight talk, and always compliment Obama for how well he can read a speech. Then attack the ideas in the speech.
Higher taxes, on the rich — those who might offer better jobs. Higher taxes mean there will NOT be better jobs.

Running out on Iraq. When the Dems voted in 1974 & 1975 to leave Vietnam, and allow commie victory, they were accepting boat people and Killing Fields. That’s what Obama’s policies mean for Iraq today.
