Re: Presidential Election-Educational Background
in McCain's defense, he was rebelling against his military family dynasty at the time.
and Biden plagiarized in law school.
Obama's scholastic creds cannot be disputed.
Palins are irrelevant

Not only did he plagiarize in law school, but he did it on the floor of the US Senate when he used one of JFK's speeches as his own.

Following the Kinnock attention, reports came from the San Jose Mercury News of Biden reusing without credit pieces of speeches from Hubert H. Humphrey and Robert F. Kennedy.[17] In the Kennedy case – which got the greater attention, since there was film footage of both versions that television news programs could play side-by-side – Biden political consultant Pat Caddell stated that the reuse without credit was his own fault, and that he had never informed Biden of the source of the material.[17]
source
shouldnt he check his sources even if someone else gives him a speech? or assisted him with it?

I think it was a speech he made while campaigning in Iowa in 1988, but I don't think it was kennedy he stole from.

Re: Presidential Election-Educational Background
Well, I would think that a politician would be able to write their own speeches and he did this more than once.
That was rude, nasty, sarcastic and immature.
I am not saying I am changing anyone's opinions, just like no one is changing mine. Just putting facts out there that the liberal media likes to sweep under the rug.

Re: Presidential Election-Educational Background
Eh, whatever. I'm not pro-McCain/Palin, but their education (or, as I think we're meant to infer from this thread, their supposed sub-par education) doesn't matter much to me.
Of all things, THAT's hardly the deal-breaker...

honestly, I don't think the 80's were a great time "morally" for McCain either...even IF I believed Biden intentionally plagiarized (which I don't)

Re: Presidential Election-Educational Background
The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The five senators, Alan Cranston (D-CA), Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ), John Glenn (D-OH), John McCain (R-AZ), and Donald W. Riegle (D-MI), were accused of improperly intervening in 1987 on behalf of Charles H. Keating, Jr., chairman of the Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, which was the target of a regulatory investigation by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB). The FHLBB subsequently backed off taking action against Lincoln.
Lincoln Savings and Loan collapsed in 1989, at a cost of over $3 billion to the federal government. Some 23,000 Lincoln bondholders were defrauded and many elderly investors lost their life savings. The substantial political contributions that Keating had made to each of the senators, totalling $1.3 million, attracted considerable public and media attention. After a lengthy investigation, the Senate Ethics Committee determined in 1991 that Alan Cranston, Dennis DeConcini, and Donald Riegle had substantially and improperly interfered with the FHLBB in its investigation of Lincoln Savings, with Cranston receiving a formal reprimand. Senators John Glenn and John McCain were cleared of having acted improperly but were criticized for having exercised "poor judgment".

Re: Presidential Election-Educational Background
If you are a regular poster who made up a fake name so you can post what you REALLY feel about the election - that is pathetic.
If you are new, this is some introduction
And for the record, I find their careers much more important than their education. . . don't forget - for most of them school was a LOOOOONG time ago. I got my masters in 2005 and I don't remember half the stuff I learned.
McCain and Biden's careers are of much more importance to me when I am considering who I want to vote for.

What if the Obamas had paraded five children across the stage, including a three month old infant and an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter?
I am not even sure what this means? Are we not supposed to vote for someone because they had sex too many times?

I am not sure, but I think the "MILF" may be referring to the idea that had a BLACK man's teenage PREGNANT daughter been walked across the stage, America AS A WHOLE would not be so accepting.
he's be "ghetto". not a strong proponent of the right to Life.

I think that the poster is saying that perhaps Obama's family would be harshly criticized for having an unwed pregnant teenage daughter.
But that's neither here nor there - this is all getting out of control. Everyone is going to make up their own minds and vote for who they think will either be the best president or do the least damage and that's that. No one is going to change anyone's minds.
