That's exactly the point. People do care about stuff like this. Being a learned man, regardless of field, makes you more credible.
It's the same with Kent Hovind. He earned his degree from a creationist university that isn't recognized by any authority, yet he claims he has a PhD because it makes him more credible.
You're right, it shouldn't matter, but it does.
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;22626772]But being socially libertarian, and fiscally libertarian are very different things, I scarcely consider them to be part of the same political view point.[/QUOTE]
Somehow I'm able to view the two as the same political view point. :v:
Well, I would consider myself to be both, but I do understand that some people only consider themselves one of the two.
that means you're pure libertarian?
[QUOTE=Lambeth;22626913]that means you're pure libertarian?[/QUOTE]
I would call myself that. Not sure if anyone else would. :v:
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;22625194]His credibility as a doctor really has nothing to do with his credibility as a senate candidate.[/QUOTE]
He's not credible at either, regardless of relevancy between them.

It is pretty disturbing that with Rand Paul's vision, any old putz on the street could call himself a doctor.
[QUOTE=Omali;22626944]He's not credible at either, regardless of relevancy between them.[/QUOTE]
Just in my opinion, I don't think it's possible to not be credible to be a representative.
I think anyone should be able to be a Congressman if they can get enough people who would vote for them. I certainly don't think you need to be a lawyer or career politician to be in Congress.
Congress should represent the people, not the rich ivy-league graduates who need a job doing something.
when you make your own board to certify your doctoring abilities, it kinda looks slimy.

[QUOTE=Bassplaya7;22627627]ITT people pretend to understand economics.[/QUOTE]
And which side of the argument are you referring to exactly
[QUOTE=CriticalThought;22625848]Well for one, I've been privileged to see how terrible our healthcare is run, the horrible consequences of our social programming and how much money we waste on them. What pains me more is the taxes I have stolen from me to pay for this programming that I don't use, the healthcare where I sat in the hospital for 5 hours before the bleeding stopped on it's own and I went home, the garbage service that runs once every other week and which the workers strike all the time, causing the parking lot to our recreation centre 4 blocks away to turn into the temporary garbage dump that stinks up the neighbourhood. Having our public transport charges go up in price almost every year.
I am of the "working class" if you want to call it that, and I go to one the the most academic schools in my city. Apparently I am the perfect candidate for being a leftist, like many of the others at my school who are all fully ignorant of politics, yet I am not because I am morally against stealing others hard earned money. When I got laid off from my job I could have applied for unemployment, but I didn't because I don't want to leech more from our already overwhelmed system. My mother works for a recreation centre the specializes in helping disabled children, they don't see a dime from our government, who are too busy spending thousands of dollars to set up commissions to see whether it is more environmentally sound to use paper or plastic coffee cups.

Ok, so you rely on public transit (and healthcare), don't you see a massive contradiction here in complaining that the government "steals" from you in order to pay for other programming you don't use..

I don't rely on public transit, I use it when it's convenient to. To be honest I think the public transit is good, I just think it's fucking lame that they tax us [B]and[/B] make us pay increasing tolls to use it. Also unless you are saying the government only uses taxes to fund two programs, I think the contradiction is in your post.

If you knew anything about Islam, which you don't, you wouldn't be so sarcastic. Islam is a theocratic political movement.
