I guess this is why Zero was a stellar Senator. His college degree. BTW, this elitist idiot is a Rove approved candidate....

David Perdue, the wealthy businessman and establishment favorite for the U.S. Senate seat in Georgia, denigrated those who do not have college degrees in remarks that will make it easier for Democrats and the mainstream press to frame the GOP as the party of the privileged and elite.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution obtained a video from January in which Perdue blasts opponent and former Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel, who has been endorsed by former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, for not having a college degree. Perdue says that makes her unqualified to be in the U.S. Senate.

“I mean, there’s a high school graduate in this race, OK? I’m sorry, but these issues are so much broader, so complex," Perdue disparagingly said in January. "There’s only one candidate in this race that’s ever lived outside the United States. How can you bring value to a debate about the economy unless you have any understanding about the free enterprise system and how — what it takes to compete in the global economy?”

As the Journal-Constitution notes, "Handel left a broken home at 17, finished high school and went to work but never finished college." She, like 72.2 percent of Georgians over the age of 25, does not have a college degree. According to Census figures, "only 27.8 percent of Georgians over age 25 hold a bachelor's degree or higher, while 84.4 percent have a high school diploma." As National Journal notes, "for the 72.2 percent of Georgians without that college degree, Perdue's boast may tell them they're not smart enough for higher office." In addition, according to the Journal-Constitution, Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle and U.S. Rep. Lynn Westmoreland from Georgia do not have college degrees.

“It is disappointing that David would demean someone who—by no fault of her own—moved out of an abusive home at age 17, and with her own hard work and determination, is the embodiment of the American Dream," Handel campaign manager Corry Bliss said.

Karen is an example of how, with great perseverance and sheer will, the circumstances under which you grow up do not dictate your ability to succeed. While David boasts about all the time he spent living in Europe and Asia, and all of the millions of dollars he intends to spend on this race, this election is about who conservatives can relate to and trust to get results in the United States Senate.

Six Republicans are running to replace retiring Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA), and the nominee will face Democrat Michelle Nunn in the fall.

Some of the smartest people I've known had little education. Some of the stupidest people I've known had advanced degrees. The candidate proves that point.
