Palin Transferred Between Six Colleges

Tags: 6 in 6, Transfer Students, Sarah Palin

Sarah Pallin attended six different colleges in six years. Wow, and I felt bad for people who switched majors more than once.

From high school, Palin went directly to the University of Hawaii at Hilo--I would have too if I had grown up in Alaska.

After only a few weeks, Palin transfered to Hawaii Pacific University where she finished off her first semester of school in the fall of 1982.

For spring '83 and fall '83, Palin attended North Idaho College, then transfered to the University of Idaho where she did a comparably long stint of three semesters, leaving after spring '85.

Next came a semester at Matanuska-Susitna College in Alaska and then three more semesters at the University of Idaho before graduating in the spring of 1987.

So, good news indecisive college students of the world, even you can one day become a vice-presidential candidate. Ah, the American dream.

Five is nothing compared to six eve though she transfered six times. Obviously you out-of-touch liberals are trying to raise taxes, allow people to marry their pets, create a safe haven in New York to al-Qaida and take away my gun that serves as a distraction from my hideously small unit.

Those are all really shitty schools too. One would think the next in line to the commander in chief would have attended a prestigious school Posted 09/06/2008 9:58 PMReply

We might be confusing indecision with stupidity. It would be interesting to see her records.
McShame graduated from the Naval Academy 894th in a class of 899 (after flunking out once and pulling political strings to get himself re-admitted). It appears that McCain is a good intellectual match for Caribou Barbie. Posted 09/07/2008 01:03 AMReply

Blackrock, the investment management firm? Yeah, young Americans are definitely spilling their blood everyday for mutual funds.

Or do you mean Blackwater, the paramilitary contractor? Because an informed and intelligent person would understand the distinction, and you're clearly neither. Posted 09/08/2008 12:08 AMReply

american politics has become a battle between the intelligent & successful, and the privileged & stupid. In the last several elections, 7 of the top 10 educated states went democrat, where as the 10 lowest educated states when republican. bush was a coke-snorting drunk moron, who ran his daddy's businesses into the ground, who got by on his daddy's name. McCain is the same. Palin, who didn't have daddy to bail her out of trouble, or get her into yale, or re-admitted into the naval academy, went to 5 crappy colleges - i can only imagine that her grades were stellar. i didn't get straight As in college, but then again, I'm not seeking to be president. is it too hard to ask for a president / vp candidate who knows how to think critically? who can succeed in whatever is thrown at them? to not have a moron in charge of the country? i have nothing against those who choose to snort coke and get trashed, and run their daddy's businesses into the ground, but those aren't qualifications to hold the keys to the nuclear weapons arsenal.

@ Anonymous: You may get what you wish with Obama as president, like higher taxes and big brother telling you when to sneeze. Honestly, do you think that governmental health care will be any more efficient or effective than any other screwed up government agency? Every one of us makes poor choices in our youth, myself especially included. Most peoples' views of the world change as you grow older and raise a family. I hope one day you find out what really matters in life. I have a clue for you, it isn't found in an extravagant stage production in a stadium in Denver. Go ahead and call me a "fundamentalist" or "zealot", I'll be praying for you... Posted 09/09/2008 2:55 PMReply

Uh, it's six college attendances or transfers, five unique colleges. Here, let me help those of you mouth-breathers who want to take issue with the "six college" claim.

1. University of Hawaii at Hilo
2. Hawaii Pacific University
3. North Idaho College
4. University of Idaho
5. Matanuska-Susitna College
6. University of Idaho (again)

And I love how the political right doesn't even try to defend Caribou Barbie anymore. They just immediately start with the tired old "We Hate Black Peo--er, Obama!" rant they've worn out this campaign season.

Pray for us all you want. That's generally your solution to a problem, and fat lot of good it's done us as a country. Pray for the housing crisis to fix itself. Pray for the credit markets to magically right themselves.

And pray for your candidates to come up with something better than prayer for the country. Posted 09/09/2008 3:17 PMReply

Young Mr.Obama after Harvard Law school,presumably after great Ivy League training in how to think effectively, form cogent arguments and implement those arguments in court couldn't make up his mind on how to vote 130+ times in the Illinois Legislature. By doing so,he showed that he couldn't make a decision on the peoples' business. Posted 09/09/2008 3:51 PMReply

Liberals crack me up... they always regurgitate the same perverted arguments and then call republicans zealots and jesus loving warmongers who can't think for themselves. Really?!... If Obama wins this election... it will be because ignorant people voted for him due to him making them "feel good" when he speaks... not because they can say what he'll actually accomplish.

I spoke with the democratic campaign manager after Kerry lost. He asked me "You know why Kerry lost?... Name me one thing on Kerry's platform." I sat there dumbfounded and slightly embarrassed and he interjected with "EXACTLY!"

The fundamental difference between democrats and republicans (loosely applied) is this: Republicans strive to help people to help themselves. Democrats just help people.

It may seem righteous, but it's irresponsible. Posted 09/09/2008 4:00 PMReply

I love that no one responded to the post beginning with "american politics has become a battle..." - it's because this person has made one of the few legitimate arguments in this forum. Bush had a C average in college and got into Yale in the first place because of the family name. He drove our economy into the ground and spent trillions of dollars on a war over oil that has done nothing but take the lives of thousands of American soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians... it has accomplished nothing and if you ask a soldier what they're doing over there in Iraq they don't even know - a good amount of them are simply uneducated, trigger-happy rednecks who couldn't get into college or were too lazy to try, over there boozing everynight and trying to chase the "terrorists" who aren't even IN IRAQ IN THE FIRST PLACE. McCain plans to spend another couple billion dollars a month implementing the same war tactics overseas and the same faulty policies here in America. If McCain and that book-banning, rifle-wielding, close-minded, pro-life Pentecostal maniac Palin he idiotically chose to help run the country are elected, there will be another four years with the same shitty economy, the same shitty housing market, and the same shitty government favoring big business and the top 1% of wealthy Americans over the harder-working middle class. It simply doesn't make sense. Posted 09/09/2008 10:41 PMReply

Regardless of your politics, history has shown that "nation building" in second and third world countries is a recipe for national bankruptcy. You could ask the British Empire its opinion, if it still existed. The French, the Germans, the Belgians, they too might have explicit commentary on the matter. And let's not forget Vietnam. Quite frankly, I am shocked that it worked in Japan (Germany I understand), but perhaps its easier when you kill the national religion. Try eradicating Islam. Posted 09/10/2008 10:55 AMReply

I think Palin's daughter's delicate situation completely sums up the dangers of idealism in any arena, especially politics. As a father, I would never want my daughter to engage in premarital sex, but as a pragmatist, I know she will...because I did too. So my choices are: Educate her on the issue and hope that what I have taught her can withstand the onlslaught of society or two: Buy her BC, knowing that she will ultimately fail due to raging hormones, an intense curiosity, the lack of a condom at the appropriate time, and of course, society as a whole. A pragmastist accepts reality and attempts to minimize its desultary effects; an idealist prays for the best, stubbornly adheres to ideologic dogma, and usually ends up with the worst. Sin is much like a problem; better a small one than a large one. Posted 09/10/2008 11:12 AMReply

Guess Hawaiian schools didn't have a mandate or a preference for locals back then...Can't blame her for escaping Alaska, but CAN see that all the subsequent transferring indicates something very wrong, probably in her maturity level at the time or her thought processes. From the rest of her profile, I'd bank on the latter! Posted 09/10/2008 2:33 PMReply

Eight years ago, a friend of mine who happens to be from England told me how amazed he was at the simple way we picked our leaders. More of a popularity contest based on looks, personality. I think the candidates should speak in their own words.......no more speach writers. We could certainly get a better look into their minds. Posted 09/11/2008 10:33 AMReply

Continuing with a republican president may seem scary, but in reality, think about it...Senator Obama has only been that...a Senator (for 2 years, mind you). He has never actually had to 'lead' people - are you ready to let him lead you and the other 300 million americans in the nation in directions which he doesn't have any solid basis or plans for following through upon? He has powerful speeches (good job speech writer!) with great ideas, but lacks how those ideas will be implemented or PAID for. <--HELLOOOOO TAXES!!!

And 'free' healthcare? yeah, right. All that means is that prices will SKYROCKET for those who do have health insurance, making us pay for those who lack coverage. meds can be expensive, but a SMART person would know to shop around with pharmacies - like Meijer has free antibiotics & prenatal vitamins for everyone, and Target and Walmart have $4 30-day scripts and $10 90-day scripts - these prices scream ALREADY AFFORDABLE (and generics are usually the cheaper, yet still equivalent option). Most of those people who can't pay for their healthcare either don't work (because they already get better government benefits than if they did work) or simply cannot pay for healthcare because they spend their money on other things which can be unneccesary - like lottery tix, cigs, booze, or things that are brand name and full price. Shop sales, dump bad habits, and you'd be surprised at how much money you would save.

That being said, please actually listen to each candidate as to how their plans (and the funds to back them up) will be carried through. And remember, just because a presidential nominee may say "we will do ____________" doesn't mean it will be passed by the House. Posted 09/13/2008 11:43 PMReply

Anonymous: @ Anonymous: @ Anonymous: So well put - over 50% of Americans read at or below an eighth grade level. It is those who depend on government funding to subsidize what they are not willing to go out and earn for themselves that will support Obama. The dredge of society will be trying to determine our next commander in chief ...those who pay minimum to no income tax. I too, voted democrat when I was young and in college but soon became a responsible tax paying adult and very quickly turned towards republican beliefs and values. I'm tired of paying 30% of evey dollar I earn for welfare recipients. Obama doesn't represent the typical american family like everyone thinks he does...he's a wealthy snob, an elitist at best. He just brings his communications down to that 8th grade level so everyone in american "thinks" he's talking to them about a real plan for our country. Posted 09/14/2008 4:20 PMReply

The Republican trickle down economy philosophy sounds good in theory. The problem is, those allocated the tax breaks and handed the keys to run them selves abuse the system. Causing a revolt in those that trusted them. Worse is Republicans that are poor. They are brain washed to vote white. Vote Democrat to regulate the fat. Posted 09/15/2008 1:32 PMReply
