    Why would any sane Democrat announce now? When everyone can sit back and watch republicans eat each other again? Why waste the money? The resources? This summer is still 18 months away from the election. Plenty of time.

    But that's another thread. :)

    well....President Obama announced in Feb 2007 for a Nov 2008 election. He was pretty sane. And the Republican field was no less nutty.

    Ah well.... I'll wait for the other thread. I suspect it will be scant. Off to better things. Have a good weekend all!

    You are required to submit your final transcript (of attendance) but it doesn't necessarily mean you would have to have completed your undergrad degree. Its a lot more aplicable to the older docs, you'll see a lot more of them only spending a yr or two in college. That being said, if you aren't going to finish your degree you better be a DAMN good applicant...like 40+ MCAT level. 99% of Everybody in med. school has there bachelors in something, but you will find 1 or 2 people here there that were just prodigies.

    On several occasions Rand has stated publicly that he has double degrees in Biology and English from Baylor. Kinda hard to walk that back.

    But I guess that goes along with the plagiarism he is known for.

    Well, let's just hope then that Rand Paul and Hillary Clinton face off in the 2016 race and they can reminisce about the time Hillary came under sniper fire while attending Rand's Baylor graduation ceremony.

    The Same People Who Lied To You About Iraq Are Now In Charge Of Jeb Bush’s Foreign Policy
    http://thinkprogress.org/election/2...ied-iraq-now-charge-jeb-bushs-foreign-policy/

    ...According to Reuters’ Steve Holland, Bush has tapped a “diverse” roster of former George W. Bush and George H. W. Bush officials to advise his burgeoning campaign on foreign policy, including key architects of the 2002 invasion of Iraq.
    The list of advisers provided to Reuters by a campaign aide includes Paul Wolfowitz and Stephen Hadley, as well as former George W. Bush Homeland Security Secretaries Tom Ridge and Michael Chertoff, and Bush adviser Meghan O’Sullivan.
    Wolfowitz, who served as Deputy Secretary of Defense in the George W. Bush administration, began advocating an attack on Iraq shortly after the Sep. 11 attacks, established “what amounted to a separate government” to push for war and invited journalists to secret meetings in order to lay out the foundation for his plans. Wolfowitz established the Office of Special Plans in the Pentagon that ignored the conclusions of the intelligence community and fed policy makers and the media discredited claims of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction.

    Then-Deputy National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley famously disregarded warnings from the CIA and then-FBI director George Tenet and included references to Iraq’s pursuit of uranium in Bush’s speeches, a claim that proved to be false. Hadley later apologized for leaving the now-infamous phrase in Bush’s 2003 State of the Union address and was promoted to become the president’s National Security Adviser.
    Meghan O’Sullivan was as a top adviser to L. Paul Bremer — the U.S. viceroy in charge of the Coalition Provisional Authority that is blamed for mismanaging the occupation of Iraq immediately following the American invasion — and is credited with developing the security agreements and early transfer of sovereignty negotiations between the United States and Iraq. She also served as special assistant to George W. Bush from 2004 to 2007.

    In some ways, Jeb Bush’s reliance on former Iraq war architects is not surprising, as it reflect his previous support for his brother’s Iraqi policy — endorsements the former governor is now downplaying as he prepares to officially enter the race.....

    I didn't know you could get into med school without a BS degree or maybe the rules have changed now.

    Even now the requirements are typically completion of pre-med requirements and completion of 90 hours of college work. A bachelors degree is not a requirement, although as previously stated you have to have a damn good reason to not have one.

    And he has a lot of experience supporting and agreeing with his brother and father. See? No contradiction there.

    https://cdn.americanprogress.org/wp.../2010/03/pdf/cost_of_deportation_execsumm.pdf

    $285 billion to deport 11 million aliens.
    I read somewhere last week it hit the GDP about 5% too.

    Jeb knows what everyone knows, but repubs won't say. Talking tough makes a good election 'optics' but the alien shadow economy makes money so the bosses are fine with it just the way it is. Another 1% win with obstructionism and the tea party did the work.

    Like pot and gay marriage, the party will come around but as slowly as they can. But facts are facts. I think they can find a compromise for Jeb in the platform committee at the convention like calling for an impressive number of deportations a year like, A Half Million!

    Since we are already doing 3330,000.

    I don't think Hillary needs to run for the dems to win the presidency.

    She could probably win a Republican primary if she lied enough.
