Why have conservatives now gravitated towards politicians that tend to be undereducated?

h j asked:


I notice that much of the Right has looked towards Sarah Palin – someone who left Wasilla, Alaska 20 million dollars in debt, was for earmarks before she was against it, and the list goes on and on. This woman had to go to 5 colleges just to get a simple Bachelor’s degree. In an age in which issues are complex and require complex solutions instead of just black-and-white hillbilly soundbytes, why have conservatives have turned to the bottom of the barrel rather than conservatives who actually are well-educated and more importantly, have shown results – such as Mitt Romney and the Utah Olympics – bringing it from a complete loss to a gigantic profit, or Newt Gingrich?
Roger M – what hate? If Palin looked like Janet Reno conservatives wouldn’t give her the time of day.
Dutch – I think Palin’s involvement in Troopergate as well as firing people like the town librarian (before being pressured to hire her back), reveals her corruptness quite well. Palin is hardly immune.
But Budd, if that were the case according to the logic you’ve just typed, Basically, republicans feel if they can run candidates that are mentally retarded they will get more liberal votes, wouldn’t Trig Palin make a better candidate, than Sarah? Not to mention if you’re implying Obama is retarded, than I guess him graduating magna cum laude from Harvard Law was a fluke?
Thunderstruck she didn’t just struggle to get a college education.. Most people who struggle financially don’t have the resources to move FIVE times just for college. If she was a Democrat, you would definitely not be calling it a struggle that people identify with. Apparently, you fall for identity politics quite easily.
cshs1960, Al Franken is Harvard educated, and at least he’s smart enough to actually vote for an anti-rape amendment unlike Republicans who seem ok with rape as they voted against it.
Speedfreak, you say, Why liberals are fascinated by degrees is a mystery. It’s so that you are actually educated and knowledgeable in a specific area, beyond that of a turnip. If I want a doctor, naturally he/she would need to get an MD. Why conservatives seem to hate education with those libruhl books is beyond me.
Jacob W, I’m not scared of her. That seems to be a constant refrain against any criticism against conservatives. So I can rightly assume that any criticism of Obama means you’re scared of him? It makes no sense. PLEASE run her in 2012, as it would be liberals’ dream to have her run, based not only her lack of education but more importantly her pride in her ignorance.
Do your thing – Palin is now the cheerleader for the GOP, and uses her former place as governor (a.k.a. a quitter) for political purposes. She’s fair game loser.

President Bush compassionate conservative. Bigger, more expensive, more intrusive government, War Czar added?

right you are ken asked:


today, out of control national debt, trade deficits skyrocketing, still no solution to our open borders, illegals flooding our country, jobs going overseas and the ever present Iraq conflict draining our tax dollars away from America. Conservatives, is this what you truly support? If a democratic President had done this, republicans would be screaming yet most (sixty something percent) still support the President and his policies, yet the GOP wants to convince its base they are responsible conservatives. What is a conservative today?

Mortgage Refinancing Process?

bored_at_home asked:


I have 2 missed payments and now I am receiving phone calls and letters from banker saying they will foreclose if not paid in full within days. I have not received a certified letter yet, so I am not in foreclosure. I started talking to a broker to refinance my mortgage. Can my current mortgage lender foreclose if I am at the early stages of a refi? So when exactly during the refinance process can my current mortgage lender no longer foreclose on me? During escrow? Once I signed the application? During underwriting?

Another question, who notifies my current lender that I am in the process of refinancing so that they dont foreclose my house? Should I called them?

Does anyone know who will give you a auto loan with bad credit?

Living life – one day at a time! asked:


For a car not off their lot…we already found one we want. But a timeshare we had bought didn’t report that we had paid them in full and closed our account, and so it shows that we’ve been delinquent for like a year and 1/2 :( We are disputing it, but until its fixed our used to be good credit has been flushed down the toilet.

We really need to get another car (well van) because of the business we started and how much equipment we have to haul around, including our kids and 2 dogs. We found a used one for like $8000 (which puts our payments where we want them too, even at like a 20% interested)

But we’ve already been denied by the credit union and Chase bank :( And waiting for a reply from wellsfargo (but doesn’t sound promising)..

I don’t know where else you can apply, is there auto only lenders or anything out there?

Thanks!
Doesn’t matter, co-signers are only good if you have little or no credit…not crap credit. (sorry I just went through it all today so I’m still frustrated at the situation…should have gone to freecreditreport.com lol…then we would have known that they never reported paid)
Thanks we will look into Americredit.

Eva L asked:


My friend just paid off all her credit cards(about $4200) she also saved up about $8000 for a down payment on a car she had her eye on for about 2years. Her credit score fell about 160-200points, she just finished paying $1900 on her last card, now wants to buy a $17,000 car with $8000 as a down payment, her mother is willing to co-sign but my friend is unsure if she’ll get the loan if she does the monthly payments would be out of her price range. Will she be able to get a loan how high can the interest on a car be?

Can a collection agency call after you have given them your bankruptcy attorney’s number?

Lemondrop asked:


I received a phone call from a collection agency about a month ago, Tibouron Financial to be exact. I told them very nicely that I had retained a bankruptcy attorney and gave them his name and number. They have called me twice today, and everytime they have called, I would answer the phone on the second ring and there would be a dial tone. Also I should add that this was 7:30 at night. What should I do?

Do credit card companies receive any insurance compensation when a credit card is filed in a bankruptcy?

ryecal asked:


My wife was an employee of a coffee shop who was given a company credit card. The company filed bankruptcy and the card was part of the bankruptcy. Now the bank is coming after her to pay the card off. We received a letter stating that they were withdrawing $2K from our checking account to put towards the card. If the company receives some insurance money for that card, can they also try to get more money from her?
