Virginia Republican nominee Bob McDonnell REPUDIATES SOME OF '89 THESIS

[Swede]

Yeah,now he repudiates it,when he's running for office.


In an extraordinary, hour-long conference call, Virginia Republican gubernatorial nominee Bob McDonnell said he repudiated some of the words he wrote in his now-controversial 1989 Regent University graduate thesis -- including writing that feminism was an enemy to the traditional family and criticizing contraception for unmarried couples.

1. GOPhers never stop to realize that their dirty tricks come back to haunt them

After all the shit the GOPhers gave Hillary over her thesis (which was bullshit anyway), they deserve absolutely no slack for McDonnell. It's not as if McDonnell has been a champion of civil rights in the last 20 years. On what basis does he think that people are fucking stupid enough to believe his views have changed now?

6. Also

McDonnell was older and more established than Hillary was. McDonnell was 34, and Secretary of State Clinton was I think about 21.

2. From the article

To McDonnell's point that the opinions he laid out in his thesis have changed over the past 20 years, one reporter pointed out that
McDonnell was 34 years old at the time he wrote it .....

***********

The man went to Regent University (Pat Robertson U) and wrote that crap as an adult not a teen or young man.

4. So turn in your "degree"

you lying sack of shit. Now this prick thinks the "work" he did to produce that hateful document that they call a Thesis was bullshit it goes without saying that the "degree" he was given is also a load of bullshit.

I know the "degree" is a worthless piece of paper from Regent but still. If I ever had to repudiate my thesis, which was one hell of a lot longer than 90 some odd pages I'd probably not be able use the degree offered at the end of the defense.

How in the hell can you come up with a Masters Thesis that's this short? The introduction to my PhD thesis was longer than that and I had to work in the lab while I was writing the damned thing.
