SQLserver Posted October 15, 2008 #1 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Here's a letter from the 2008 Nobel Laureates, all endorsing Obama. http://sefora.org/2008/10/14/all-2008-us-n...-endorse-obama/ Here's my honest Question: Should Americans base their vote, at least partly, after the votes of some of our smarter citizens? Or, do you think that these opinions should be irrelevant to the average voter. Cheers, SQLserver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Than an elite and smart former commnity organizer, with past association of such character such as Ayers, Raines and Wright. And now goes around the country with a disorganize campaign crew and rides daily in a plane that smells. Edited October 15, 2008 by AROCES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffybunny Posted October 15, 2008 #15 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Get it now? nah..... When a the olfactory sense is used to pick a presidential candidate, things are bad. why is that a factor? does that mean that we have regressed somehow? Like dogs sniffing each others backsides? Perhaps it is my high standards, but I dont consider it being a successful governor when you've been popped for ethical issues in your first term for letting your husband run rampant to try and get your brother in law canned, and then have the gall to say that the very report that points out your ethical shenanigans has somehow exonerated you from any ethical implications... basically lying... again... Shes good at lying. That seems to be her best quality to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterPo Posted October 16, 2008 #20 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Are you trying to show how stupid it is for someone to vote for McCain? As anyone besides me noticed that in the last 3 elections (including the current one) the Democrat nominee is annointed "brilliant", "insightful", "wise", the great "hope" etc while the Republican nominee is said to be "dumb", "stupid", "clueless", just got there by accident etc? Even though typically both candidates attended the same or similar Ivy League schools, got similar grades, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can see, their best candidate that is brilliant, insightful, wise, great hope can't even beat the Dumb, cluless, stupid Bush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong but neither Bush or McCain were exactly top of their class as far as I know. Plus having a university education, even an Ivy League one, is not a guarantee of intellect...this, however, applies to both dems and reps. And I have to say, Bush doesn't exactly come off as a bright fella, and Obama does come off more insightful and articulate than McCain. And regarding Nobel laureates...I think it's safe to say most of the laureates are fairly smart people. I wonder why all these smart people have decided to endorse Obama.......
