Also, Joe the Plumber was a Republican shill to get the white males on their side. It didn't work.

Finally, some reason comes from Tweety's beak. Does this mean you blame Bush for 9-11 and the financial collapse?

FACT---only 1 in 20 Alaskans complete college.
FACT---AK drop out rate is higher than 42 other states.
FACT---AK students are less likely to go to college at all than those from 46 other states.
FACT--Alaska college students come in dead last when it comes to graduating from college within 6 years.

FACT----Bristol's FH is a high school drop out.
FACT---Track Palin is a high school drop out.
FACT---Bristol missed the last 5 months of Junior year and is having a baby senior year. She pretty much dropped out.

You can research the AZ drop out rates, but I wouldn't consider being more educated than AZ a feat. Now, Wisconsin would be impressive.

Oh, and in the article (link I provided), you will find that this is a culture thing and something they admit themselves. They have a culture that doesn't value education. Read it for yourself.

Come on Tweety....If something happens under your watch, it's on you. So...
1. Bush is most at fault. THis happened 7 years after he took office.
2. THe REpublicans had COMPLETE CONTROL of the govt. from 2001-2007 and did nothing to keep this from happening when we all knew it was on the way.
3. Bush said as late as MARCH OF THIS YEAR that deregulation was good.
4. McCain said in September that the fundamentals of the economy were good and that deregulation is good.
5. Fannie and Freddie grew this economy and the idea of how this was SUPPOSED to work is not incorrect.
6. As Greenspan said, greed was the cause of the collapse. Greed that was permitted thanks to a lack of regulation.
7. Trickle down economics according to the guy who invented it for Reagan caused this fiancial crisis.
8. Sure, the Dems are at fault for allowing it to happen, absolutely. But, they have only had a SLIM majority since the beginning of 2007 (not 2006) which means they were only a part of it for 16 months. Further, they couldn't pass regulation b.c it would have been vetoed since Bush said in March of 2008 that regulation was bad.

Sounds to me that all you do is repeat sound bites. Unfortunately, sound bites that come too quickly are usually just finger pointing. As time goes on, you will see how Bush created the perfect storm when he started a war while decreasing taxes for the rich and doing nothing for the middle class (Heck Lou Dobbs keeps saying there is a war against the middle class).

BTW---Obama graduated from college and then took jobs to defend the poor. One of his bigges

I assumed you had looked at a chart per your previous post showing numbers that weren't in the link. So you read one article and pulled the numbers from who knows where. Cool.

Ken---I laugh at your assertion. Palin has did not hold a job for 17 years while she was a stay at home mom. Her kids aren't graduating from hs so she obviously wasn't helping them with their homework. So, I beg you to explain to me how she kept things like math and reading 'fresh'. Further, if you really think that someone who graduated from one of the 5 state universities/JC that she attended is as smart as someone who GETS ACCEPTED to Harvard let alone graduate from there with high honors, you are dilusional, incredibly jealous, in denial, or all of the above. Come on.

Political leaders don't have an option to be not good at something like geopgraphy. THey can be not good at home ec, shop, band class, dance, PE, heck, I'll even throw in grammar. But, they must be good at math, history, civics, law, speach, the writing portion of English class, geography, you know, the things that run the world.

Even the McCain camp is FINALLY admitting she wasn't qualified. McCain should have dropped her in Sept. for 'personal reasons' and then he should have picked Lieberman like he wanted. He may just be Pres right now.

Oh...and why are you saying that he needed a woman? Choosing an unqualified woman as VP is the most sexist thing your party could have done. It's comical really. And why I just don't get woman who are Catholic and Republican. THose 2 groups couldn't have a lower view of women if they tried.

And how about you find just one article backing up your assertion that a bunch of scholars live in AK? And then explain why Republicans chose the matriarch of the one family plagued with drop outs to run for 2nd in command of one of the big 2 parties.

I'll be waiting.

Alright Tweety, I will play semantics with you. You are right, I shouldn't have spoken in superlatives as theose are never true and serve only to make a point. So, let me use your language.

How about you prove your assertion that
1. Alaksa has a lower drop out rate than AZ.
2. More people in AK graduate from high school and college than those in AZ.
3. Why you think that being more educated than AZ is a feat.

Then, why don't you explain why nothing that happened under the watch of a Republican Executive and Legislative branches were not their responsibility.
Then, explain how it would have been possible for the Democrats to override a veto by the Pres. over the last 1.75 years.

Give it a freaking rest. You wrote a blog with FALSE information and all I told you was the percentage of AK children that drop out was less than AZ, using AZ because this is where we live. You've taken it to an extreme. For what? We all get it. You hate anything that doesn't line up with your perception of how and what it should be. So if your hatred of Palin runs so horrifyingly deep that you feel the need to condemn an entire state to feel better, go for it. I would have thought the way you sympathize with illegals and their lack of education you would be horrified that any citizen in the US doesn't receive a decent education. But no, not you. Rather than agree something needs to be done here at home in our country you instead relish hurling your holier than thou mentality at the problem. On empathy and compassion you flunk!!!!!

Back up one thing I said? A higher percentage of students drop out in AZ than AK. It was you that went crazy and said almost everybody drops out and proof of that statement being a lie can easily be found on several sites that chart dropout rates.

Fannie and Freddie - blog after blog has been written. There have been credible links to show the proof. It has been your choice to ignore the truth and the evidence and remain oblivious to the history. You keep saying it was on the Bush watch therefore he takes the blame. Unbelievable after your blog on "How Government Works". You completely ignore how Pelosi and her cronies stopped the regulation that Bush wanted, even though my opinion is that Bush waited too long to call attention to the problem. You absolutely refuse to see any part that Obama himself played in this whole fiasco.

What you need to do is stop reading more into what I type and running like the devil with it.
