And why should we vote for bush huh?

He does nothing to help out anything that bennefits either me or you.

Terrorism? If he was really the top choice for that, 9/11 would have been avoided. And he wouldn't piss of every country in the world besides....Britain and Poland. And Poland dosn't count. (I know, I'm from there.)

Social Security? We're in a depression state of federal funding. The federal deficit is at a record high. When he came into office with a budget surpluss. The only we've ever had in american history.

Job Security? Unemployment is at an all time high since Hoover and the depression.

Medicare is outrageous.

Health insurance costs and arm and a leg. Which is ironic because health insurance covers my arms and legs.

Kerry skurting real issues? Kerry was the only one in that debate that knew what he was talking about. I expect my president to know what soveriegnty means.

Bush only talks about national defense and terrorism. Which both he has done terrible at.

No child left behind. I'm not even going to go there.

Public schools are receiving the least amount of federal funding. EVER

Where's Osama? Wait, we found Sadaam. Who had nothing to do with 9/11. Who only hated america, just like almost every other country in the world does.

I am a teacher and deal with this occasionally.   I try not to bring up my bias in favor of Bush, but if asked why would I vote for him I talk about, most importantly for me, the 2nd amendment, then the belief that I want a president that does not change his mind with polls or public opinion.  I will, if prodded further, elaborate and talk about wanting less government, and being on the offense in the war on terror, but only in private.

Like I said, I try to avoid the conversation, with exception of the 2nd amendment.  I don't want someone in my class to feel alienated by my political preferences.  It makes it harder for me to gain their trust.  I believe that trust is a cornerstone to success in my classroom.

The government's role is not to hand out to un-lucky's, under-privileged, and those who don't have much. It is to create an environment that allows everyone a similar opportunity

do not count on gov't to solve everything, or provide everything (That is the Dem's view of life)

He is doing a hell of a lot more than Clinton ever had the balls to do, after AQ killed American citizens abroad and at the WTC in '93.  The only countries not willing to help out in Iraq (Germany & France) had lucrative contracts with Saddam and were sad to see him go.  Ditto for the UN.



Social Security? We're in a depression state of federal funding. The federal deficit is at a record high. When he came into office with a budget surpluss. The only we've ever had in american history.



Social Security will be bankrupt soon because the federal government keeps raising the payouts in
spite of the fact they can't afford it.

Budget surpluses don't mean dick.  Deficits are only a problem if they are long-term.  The economy has always grown out of them, they just aren't that important.



job Security? Unemployment is at an all time high since Hoover and the depression.


Funny, if you actually check the numbers it's lower than it was in Clinton's second term.  This is an outright lie.




Medicare is outrageous.
Health insurance costs and arm and a leg. Which is ironic because health insurance covers my arms and legs.



I doubt this little cock-holster pays Medicare.  At any rate, yes, health care costs are going up... PRIMARILY DUE TO TWO THINGS:

A) Ridiculous punitive lawsuits and "jury box jackpots" awarded against doctors and health care organizations.  The ambulance chasing lawyers are driving up malpractice insurance so high that many doctors are leaving medicine altogether.

B) Pressure against drug companies by people who accuse them of "profiteering".  As they pressure the drug companies to release their patents for cheap generics, this will drive the cost even higher. Say it takes ten years and 200 million dollars to develop a new drug.  The company is investing this time and money to get a return.  In the past they could protect their patent long enough to get their money back out of it.    Now the drug companies have less time to make their money back so instead of selling for $5 a pill they sell it for $20 a pill.  Make sense?


Kerry skurting real issues? Kerry was the only one in that debate that knew what he was talking about. I expect my president to know what soveriegnty means.



"By their works you will know them."   Bush has a very focused idea of sovereignty.  He acts INDEPENDENTLY of any other nations' concern when it comes to US security.  He is not about to subordinate our country's security to the whining opinions of some bedwetting syphilitic Bolsheviks who are still pissed off we won the Cold War and pulled their asses out of the fire several times over the last century.

By contrast, Kerry will be happy to break out the kneepads and suck Kofi Annan's summer sausage until he gives permission for the US to defend itself.


No child left behind. I'm not even going to go there.

Public schools are receiving the least amount of federal funding. EVER



WHAT??? Funding per capita among public school students is the HIGHEST EVER in the history of the nation.    We are spending more today than ever before and our goddamn kids can't even read.

Ask yourself why a child in a country schoolhouse in the 1910's came away with a better education that the children today.  Money is not the problem, the schools are.  There is so much emphasis on political correctness and self esteem that there is barely any time left to teach shit to anybody.   If money could fix the problems,  which I don't believe, it wouldn't matter anyway because senior administrators and other functionaries of the teacher's union (aka the NEA) are driving fucking Hummers to school because they make far too much money.



Where's Osama? Wait, we found Sadaam. Who had nothing to do with 9/11. Who only hated america, just like almost every other country in the world does.



Saddam was holed up in Iraq, which is a whole different thing.  Iraq is a veritable metropolis compared to Afghanistan, which is bascially a bunch of mountains and caves.  HUMINT (human intelligence) which is how we found Saddam is much more common in Iraq simply because of population density.  

If you want to gain intelligence in Afghanistan you better learn to speak mountain goat.

That would be true if all teachers worked hard and worried about giving the children an education. The testing is not about the children its about the teachers and what kind of job they are doing(look at the failure rates in Fla.)  

Due to the teachers union it is next to impossible to get rid of the bad apples. We must find a way to solve this problem, we can not keep graduating people who can't read and write.

Yes the system is imperfect , but this is what we have, why? because something is better than nothing.

This is 100% true.

I'm from South Korea where High school seniors must take a expanded-version of SAT that takes 9 hours to take in one day, and you have only one chance in a year. (If you screw up, you have to wait till the next year)

Because of this exam, which will dictate which college you can go to, half of middle school and all of high school curriculm is geared towards this exam, and THIS EXAM ONLY. You learn nothing applicable in real life,  except taking the exam.

For an example; we learn English 6 years, mandatory, before taking this test. All we do is read and translate. However, almost none of them can speak English well at all. I was fortunate that my parents got me into a private institution with native speakers when I was a 6th grader and I went there for 5 years. My way of approaching English totally changed since then and it was the single most important reason now I can communicate in English, here in U.S. (I didn't pay much attention to English classes at school, because then it would screw up what natives taught me. But somehow I still did well on the tests)

If I stayed on the course that our school system taught us English, I could do nothing more than read and translate, and some load of grammar.

Another problem is since the curriculm is geared towards the test, teachers use COMMON textbooks, not just in a single school. So the contents do not vary, and teachers can't teach what they want, nor students learn what they want. They equally teach and learn what is GOING TO BE ON THE EXAM.

Healthcare is expensive because some people don't pay, and the rest of us have to pay for them.

Also, someone went into an ER with a little fucking cut on their finger and whined because the bill was $700. The newspaper made it sound like they charged $700 for a band-aid.

Well remember this. You're paying for:

- A room, with state of the art monitoring equipment that cost more than your car.
- A doctor, who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to get his education.
- At least two nurses, one at triage and one in your room. Their education was not cheap.
- At least two patient care techs, one at triage and one in your room. Their education was not cheap.
- Possibly a phlebotemist, who most likely has years of experience that cannot be valued.
- Possibly an x-ray, and x-ray technicians, and the x-ray machines themselves, which were not cheap.
- The "Band-Aid" is the same stuff that you can buy in a store for $3, the "Liquid Bandaid" stuff, but it costs at least $50 a tube because it is sterile.

Now quit your whining. That's JUST for a cut on your finger.
