Anything at all.

5. Don't go there!
When we start attacking each other and making fun of other people's intelligence we are no better then the Republicans.

For the record I have a Master's Degree, under 35 and I voted for Clinton.

6. Go to hell troll. Seriously.
My family is uneducated; I'm the first in my family to attend college. They live in a rural area, and they work crappy jobs for barely above minimum wage. They're uneducated because they're poor--not because they're stupid. Uneducated does not equate to a lack of intelligence.

Go spew your idiocy somewhere else.

12. Good one!
Somebody seems to have forgotten that Hillary won in states where most of the people are hard working class folks. Your family is the back bone of this country. Stay in school!

9. Yup
she wins lower income, working class voters. Good for her.

There used to be a time that was considered a good thing for a Democrat.

13. uneducated frequently=poor
And being the candidate of the poor is a badge of honor. For too long, the poor have either not voted at all or voted against their own self interest. Maybe John Edwards helped make them feel that they do have power.
BTW, I have an MA degree and my son is an attorney, and we both voted for Hillary.

15. It has to be said.
It has to be examined again and again. The less educated DO vote for Hillary. The type of people who would appear on 60 Minutes and be dumb enough to believe Obama was sworn in on the Koran, doesn't know the pledge of allegiance and is a Muslim. THOSE are the core Hillary supporters. Oh yeah, that and the GOP, Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh.

19. What a hateful, stupid statement
There was a time when a candidate that was supported by the poor and working class was a hero to Democrats.

23. Where you came from and why you are here is a mystery2me.
There are many of us here who voted for Hillary and don't believe any of the statements you just put forth and I, for one, resent your assumption that we are in the same group as the RW hatemongers you listed.

16. College degree here and voted for her.
At one time, the working class used to be respected and considered the backbone of America. Now apparently they are dumb shits. Shame on anyone who thinks that.

And by the way, a lot of the "uneducated" have a whole lot of more common sense than book smart people. Having a degree doesn't necessarily mean better judgement.

to get rid of all these street urchins thinking their vote matters! :sarcasm:

20. nice to see such discrimination of poor people
who generally don't go to college, because they can't afford it. So they join the military and serve the nation. HRC wants to bring them home BHO wants them in Pakistan.

The writing is on the wall.

25. And the point is?
Edited on Wed Mar-05-08 08:50 AM by susankh4
That only folks who have a Masters degree should vote???

Oh... wait... I do have one. And my DH has a PhD. We both voted for her! Cuz we live in the real world of blue collar Ohio.

Hold the elitism. It's unbecoming.

Go Hillary!

Edited on Wed Mar-05-08 08:51 AM by LostinVA
I have a degree, btw -- not that that makes me better than anyone. I've worded in highly professional and academic environments -- so what.

The implication of these OPs suck... hmmmm?

31. I HATE it -- we're the party of labor, right?
The this country and this Party were built on the back of blue collar Americans.

UGH. A point these posters miss: "less educated" often means poor or less advantaged(immigrants, single moms, etc.). In my opinion, They see Senator Clinton -- and also Senator Edwards -- as more empathetic of their situation.
