We need change, change, change we can believe in!

How magnanimus of you to decree so blatantly the Blacks would of course vote for a Black  candidate because they are not intelligent enough to make an informed decision.  Blacks would only vote for a Black candidate simply because he is Black. Personal, I would take a look election results from 1972 when Shirley Chisholm ran and 1984 and 1988 when Jesse Jackson ran.  Those results do not indicate that all Blacks voted for a candidate just because they were Black.  Additionally, if that the case, which I happen to know was not, so what. If Blacks did vote for him just because he was Black, it’s not like there was a choice before. Blacks have voted before, so who did they vote for? Sorry, dumb statement.

I have said before, I didn’t vote against Obama because of his skin tone, I voted against him because he’s WRONG for the job.

So YOU have the acumen to make an informed choice based on…whatever, definately not skin color,  but Blacks are not capable of making the same decision.? hmmm

The TEACHERS,and PARENTS are the problems. Inner city schools get far more in funding per pupil than most rural schools, but most just don’t use it well.

Profound but not completely accurate. You can not compare effectully straight across the board rural and urban cost per child. Teachers earn between $40k and 62k , I’ve seen $6500 to $9800 per child depending on the city, state, cost per special needs child (which isn’t averaged out on most tables). I do believe 60% of the responsibility is the parents, 20% on the teachers, and 20% on the state and school administration.

Lobbyist from book companies should be locked out of the process; teachers must be tested prior hiring and held accountable for measurable objective standards; States need to hold school districts accountable for measurable objective standards; and, eliminate the superfluos mind numbing paperwork;  and last but not leaset, parents need to kick the childs butt, the teachers butt, and the school districts but into gear.They need invest time and go PTA meetings, know what teachers have issues and which are tuna’s begging for filet. Oh, I hate school vouhers, they dilute and move around the problem, the issues still exist. While being rung up at Rite Aid I asked the clerk if she had voted yet.  She said, I don’t vote, I don’t have time.” I can be pushy, so I asked why. She said she had kids and no time to vote. I asked about the school system concerns on the ballot. She said “I get vouchers my kids go to private school.” I felt my blood pressure go up, my eyeballs started to sweat, so I left  after I told her she should do an absentee ballot if time was an issue, at least her voice would be heard. This woman had at best, a rudimentary command of the english language, I sure hope those vouches work better for her kids.

I definitely think that a fully vetted veep candidate does know these things — what makes you suspect that Palin was fully vetted?

It’s no secret McCains campaign was less than perfect and subsequently there was alot of bickering. I’m sure someone who’s feelings were hurt said some nasty, untrue things.

AKD. Do you really think that a fully vetted vp candidate and governor of a major state doesn’t know these things?

Re: Full Support for Obama: The idea that any president must have full support from the populace is silly. Some people will support him; some won’t. Right Voices should be free to attack Obama just like the left was free to attack Bush. Double standards suck.

He has no answer. He has no argument. He has…nothing…

We learned about Africa and the other continents in 2nf grade geography. So to say something like that is not only an obvious made-up lie, it is the lowest and most sphincterous.

But I’ll bet Palin knows there are 50 states, not 57…=))

“Fox News reports that Palin didn’t know Africa was a continent and did not know the member nations of the North American Free Trade Agreement — the United States, Mexico and Canada — when she was picked for vice president.”

And there’s more…
