    Carter was fairly inept as a president, but I would hardly call him stupid, especially with regard to national affairs.
    Maybe implacable just thinks that someone must be stupid to hold views that aren't the same as his.

    Who cares how many colleges she attended before she got her bachelors degree. She got it done.

    This is almost sig worthy.

    Obama tries to qualify himself as an executive because he organized communities - and that is okay with you ? She was a Mayor and a Governor - meaning she was CEO of a town and a state - she was an executive.
    You claim to not be an ardent republican but you sure do spew their talking points a lot.

    He has a BS in Physics from the US Naval Academy- hardly stupid. Most of all, Carter sets a high standard for what a former president can do in the world after he leaves office.

    nonsensical ? so you pretend to ASSume that these "people" behind the Palin pick had that much influence over the MAverick guy that she got the nod over others he wanted. That they had him so much in their corner that he listened and obeyed them - yet at the same time - they instruct her to be a rogue and come up with different talking points than McCain who "they" had so much influence over when they VP choice was made ? Interesting....

    Well lets be fair -- do you think Obama is being run by some "group" or "organization" and that he will owe debts and favors to if elected ?

    I just wanted to say that I think the reason that he came up with this conspiracy theory about the Palin pick is that we, even as Democrats, really want to believe that at least a little bit of the John McCain of 2000 still exists. On one hand we have the possiblity that John McCain picked Palin of his own free will because he thought she would be the absolute best for the job. The ramifications of this option is that (in our eyes) John McCain has lost all possible claim to being a "Maverick," bipartisanship, and heck it greatly calls HIS judgement into question. I don't want to believe that he has completely changed because I thought he was great at the time (would have voted for him if he won the nom in 2000, and I liked Gore, so that's saying something). I think that there are a lot of people who are shocked and dismayed by the decisions he has made in this campaign and the changes in his previously stated policies ( I mean TORTURE for crying out loud, you would think that this would be the ONE area he wouldn't mess with). So with that being said, I think there are a great many of us who would rather believe some kind of cloak and dagger conspiracy theory, than to have to believe the man that we had so much respect for has fallen this far.

    I know I used "we" in here a lot, I guess I only speak for myself, but maybe there are others out there like me.

    That's because there wasn't a woman who said that. There were only several people who were on the same level dumb talking about "bringing the black".

    Yes. I think my degree, along with anyone who got one in less than 6 accredited schools, is more "valid" when it comes to being selected to be 2nd in line to run the United States of America.

    that isn't what I asked for. I am sure we can you tube racist videos all day from both sides -- we can find farakkhan or rev. wright or some black panthers talking about the black man getting in office or the black house -- or killy whitey -- and we can find more racist white folks talking about bringing the black -- but then that would be divisive -- you know something you and Obama and the Dems dont do.. that is for those hate monger repubs - so why bring race into it shastaboy ? We were talking intellect and you want to bring race into it..... wierd. One might thing you were a divisive republican or something...

    Yes. No matter what accomplishments a democrat has, you give them no credence. The ing Nobel Prize isn't a worthy accomplishment in your mind?

    Get Thee To A O'Reilly Circle Jerk, already.

    I'd agree with the idea that winning a Nobel Prize (particularly the Nobel Peace Prize) does not necessarily equate to a high intellect.

    But, I don't think that Jimmy Carter was an idiot either. I might not have agreed with some of his policy decisions, but for most people there's a wide gulf between disagreeing with someone and thinking someone is an intellectual lightweight.

    You said that video didn't have to do with the low intellect of McCain/Palin supporters. So either you didn't watch it or you think they're intelligent.
