Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan belonged to Delta Tau Delta fraternity while in college. Somehow Ryan's picture and his fraternity system affiliation made the news. For the record, President Obama did not belong to a traditional Greek fraternity while in college. Mitt Romney rushed Phi Kappa Sigma while at Stanford.

No I care about him sucking up to the banks and special interests and being another Bush, just like Obama.

I'd only respect him if he was a Delta Tau Chi but I suspect his fraternity was closer to the tight-assed Omega Theta Pi's.

Well, he is more of an extremist than Rick Santorum, at least when it comes to being socially conservative. There's no point in calling the USA a free country if people boss you around with THEIR beliefs.

All over the nation the "D.T.s" as they are known have earned the association with the
medical term for alcoholic "tremors". How will MItten handle this, as Ryan drinks it up with
his buddies in the back of the bus while he and Barbie are up front sipping Crystal Springs
cocktails with a dash of lemon peel?

Well we know more about Ryan's fraternity than Obama's, that is, if he actually went to Harvard. It's really amazes me how people knew so little about Obama that he became president, and now scrutinize the candidate and his choice for VP with histories that are impeccable...

Not at all, but I can see where someone may have that thought. I'm referring to the personal backgrounds of the GOP ticket, We know who they are! The news media will continualy put the GOP candidates in a negative light while discounting the questionable past of our current president. I'd consider any GOP candidate to be impeccable compared to the underhanded left who care very little about charactor or personal integrity...

You can look on anything and find that he went to Harvard Law School. Jeesh, just do some research. Conspiracy much?

reply
Htcbm1 to Tarheel 2012/08/15 22:55:36

Yeah, I'm curious... How can Barry Setoro (Obama) be head of the Harvard Law Review without "you know" actually writting a law review? And why is it that no one seems to remember Obama at the time he was attending Harvard ? And why won't he release his college transcripts unless he has something to hide ? "Yes I'm questioning"! Questioning his motives, lies and his background !!!...

reply
Tarheel to Htcbm1 2012/08/16 01:33:29

Maybe you should send your inquiries to Harvard Law, I really have nothing to do with that university. So what if no one remembers him. After all it was over 30 years ago and if you go back to where I went to college you'd find the same thing. Whatever, find a new hobby.

I accidentally pushed rave. I am highly educated so what? What is your point anyway. To insinuate that someone didn't go to school at a certain school because "people don't remember them" is stupid. But if you feel good just insulting people "have at it."

"No", I detest condescending snobs who feel they know better than anyone else on any given subject, but have this itch up their backside as to feel the need to be rude !... "Anyway, going back to the subject". I'm sorry if I somehow hit a nerve regarding your beloved Obama, and I'm sure that this conversation would be quite different if this president were a republican!... And I still stand by what I originally said regarding my curiousity and making that statement!...

reply
Tarheel to Htcbm1 2012/08/18 00:15:01

Hey, I just told you that I looked up the info. I didn't go to Harvard and I wasn't the one being rude. I made the point that, for instance, if you asked people who went there if they knew me, it would be a very small chance that they'd say yes. That doesn't mean I didn't go there, just that they either didn't remember me or even know me. Colleges are big. My point was that is not evidence. If I came across, rhymes with itchy, I really didn't mean too. Sorry.

Hey, it was the way that you came across from the beginning that caused the agitation, but if you didn't mean it the way it sounded then fair enough! Just understand that there are different views on the various subjects we encounter in our daily lives which I'm sure you know... And the stories we are told by the news media are not always true, but instead are skewed with biases. There are alot of educated people in this world but unfortunately most of which are indocrinated not really educated ! It should be our life's work to seek the truth not to just except whats been said. One of the big reasons that the news media has lost so much credibility...

NO that's what Harvard Law revealed. What do you think you're going to see on a transcript? Obviously his grades were good or he wouldn't have gotten into Harvard and certainly wouldn't have graduated Magna Cum Laude.
