Author: Candy, a bleeding heart liberal with an BAD attitude
Subject: I agree Lafaux with one exception, BOTH parties talk a good (education) game when running for office then once in there education is the the least of thier agenda's I find it deplorable that ANY child graduates from highschool unable to read or write. ALL of these finks are out for # one. (as long as their kids are educated in the best schools they could give a rats patoot about the rest)
In reply to: Lafaux 's message, "Oh PLEASE! Who is about education? They all talk the education game! But NOBODY talks it like theRepublicans. It's what gets most of those crooks into the White House. Then when they get their asses parked in the oval office, education and the children get screwed. Education budgets throughout America are being cut right now." on 02:36:57 04/24/02 Wed

[> [> [> [> What? You think I am going to disagree on the quality of education? No! It sucks, but it is due to a variety of factors. I know a lot of international students at my college, and a lot of them had to pass much higher standards in their own country to graduate. I think a lot of schools suck, and I think they should emohasize real learning, not standardized tests. I just think Gore has little to critisize. I never liked his ideas. -- CC, 07:24:46 04/24/02 Wed

If anthing, I have to to agree with Candy that neither party really cares, but I tend to favor the Republicans and their tax cuts. Democrats claim to be for the middle class, but in their opinion, the middle class is around $40,000 a year or less. A married couple that just graduated college and began their entry-level jobs is considered rich. The tax burden is to high on them. -- CC, 07:32:53 04/24/02 Wed

middle-class ass has been lumped as rich by them, and it affects my lfe in varous ways. For example, I coud not afford to send my kids to pre-school. Poor kids get to go free, while my family and I pay the property taxes,too,but only for poor kids to go. They enter kindergarden better prepared. I taught my daughter, but they seem to learn better and pay better attention in school and it is not fair. Plusany tax cut will certainly benefi the rich more- they pay more taxes. People who make more than around $300,000 are taxed at 50% or over(federal plus medicare). If you take away too much of people's earnings, they will lose incentives to earn that extra money. It's through motivation to get rich that people aspire and encourages innovation. It is that very innovation that made our country rich and powerful in the first place. The burden is hardest, however, on the educated, non-rich families, earning from $60,000 to around $120,000. Those families are just people who went to college and steadily advance through their career. It is actually hard to get ahead on those wages, atleast in my area. In Houston, decent homes are around $1100 to $1800 a month, daycare is about $700 per child, and everything else is sky high. In cheaper areas, wages are much lower. It sound like a lot of money, but it is not when you add up the expenses and consider the fact that you pay $2000 to $4000 a month in taxes(depending on filing status and income).

Govt spending is way out of hand and on the most ridiculous things imaginable (I read they actually spent millions on a rape study to find out if woman in short skirts were more susceptible to rape than women in long dresses or pants....the answer was NO!!!) However I don't believe preschool is all that imperative, I didn't go to preschool, neither did my children and to the best of my recollection were fairly literate by the 2nd grade. I never knew ANYONE illiterate until I went to TN. I also have serious issues with all this stuff about kids having this problem (short attention spans), kids have that problem (discipline challenged...when in reality they're just brats) because the parents are so wrapped up in making money they pawn them off on the teachers, who IMO suffer the brunt of raising kids these days and are right up there with cops in being the least appreciated and way underpaid for what they have to deal with day in and day out.

I have no problem with helping the poor, but the government seems to not know how to do that! They always come up with some weird scheme or another. Where I think they should put more funding is into healthcare and job training, especially for disabled people. I want don't the money to go to some stupid program or another that does not really work, a program that just sounds good to voters. I think they need to concentrate on healthcare, especially. That is one thing I do not mind paying more taxes for..It's atrocious that people do not get proper care when they are sick.

I did not mean that I necessarily staunchly support one party over another. It all depends on who's running. When I say liberal, that usually applies to democrats, but not always. We could say something one party has done to screw up, and then come out with something the other party has done equally bad. In general, I find myself agreeing with Republican stuff, though not always. Also, how you view a certain group of politicians depends on your area. In my area, under our democratic leadership, I have seen continual cuts in healthcare, charity clinics closing down, yet property taxes increase outrageously every year. I always hear how the city can no longer afford these things. However, the city has also spent nearly a billion dollar in new stadiums, and somehow managed to convince people it was all for the benefit of the taxpayers, particularly minorities. All they really meant was that it provided temporary contract work. We paid for those stadiums, but the owners got hundreds of millions for the naming rights of the stadium.


As for getting on high horses and judging people, both parties do that, but in different ways. Republicans pretty much say liberal democrats are immoral, and liberals try to make conservatives politicians out to be small-minded and old-fashioned.


If this was like, the first half of the century, I would be more of a democrat. I think they did a lot of good things then, like establishing disability, Medicaid, desegregation, and safer working conditions. Once the government began doing that, though, it seemed to take on a new role. People expected them to pass more and more laws to make their own lives perfect. It seemed as if people started to look on the government as their Mommy or something. That is mainly the problem I have with the democrats (as I said before, I am referring to the liberal ones, which seem to be many) is that they seem to try and reinforce that attitude. I think we should not think too much that way, for it seems most people think they should no longer be responsible for their own lives.


That Supreme Court is a bunch of liberal Republicans, and IMO, they are crazy. I hated their ruling last week, protecting child pornograph in some form. I remember a couple of years ago, they ruled that cable companies did not have to block out pornographic channels that came in fuzzy. Even if parents had network TV, those channels would often come in fuzzy. I know they did on mine. Tell me that is not a coincidence, that out of all the cable channels available, only those would come in by accident. It would be no burden to order the cable companies to block it, because they would have to do is stop whatever it is they are doing to get it to come in, anyway.

I don't give a damn, I'm proud as hell, I didn't vote for that joker!!!!! The economy SUCKS, at least around here it does, and I didn't see that skimpy check everyone got from dubya changing anybody's lives.

As for education, BOTH parties have talked a GREAT game and done VERY little to make it better than it is.

I couldn't care less who anybody blows, or doesn't blow, or who sleeps with chimps or bimbo eruptions... that stuff really has no effect on me. The ECONOMY effects my life, the state of public education effects me, indirectly, it affects us ALL whether you have children or not.

I'm just cynical, I think that they're ALL full of it. The only difference that I can see between the parties is that if I voted Republican, my ancestors would probably haunt me from their Truman Democrat graves, so I vote Democrat. Also I do it in memory of Harry, loved him, still do... too bad, he can't haunt the White House. What would he say about dubya? I'd pay money to hear him and Churchill attempt a conversation with him.

He was asked about using coke in 1999. He answered by saying something about not committing any felonies for the past 25 years.......LOL. So what happened before then is anyone's guess:) I think he's been arrested three times.

He was arrested for pulling a fraternity prank. Something about stealing a Christmas wreath.
He was arrested for drunken driving.
He was arrested for disorderly conduct at a football game.

I mean if someone in his age bracket HADN'T at least tried pot, I'd be worried, lol! And then that whole "I didn't inhale" bullshit....why not? What a waste, Dumb-ass! -- ladyday, 21:05:03 04/24/02 Wed

Clinton's a liar, yep, and I still can't believe he didn't just look at a picture of some skank's fat butt while sharpening a pencil with one hand and pleasuring himself with the other if he needed some stress release. I was so disappointed in him. But the way the Republican's still dog him is why I like talking about Dubya's dumbass moments. How dare him run on 'accountibility'. I also wonder if Al Gore really didn't smoke pot because he said he did;)

The entire fiasco turned me off to politics PERIOD and then we got DUH Dubya :::::eyeroll:::and the rest is history...how's about I just don't care anymore they're all a bunch of lying (Clinton) sanctimonious (the majority of Reps) rat finks if you ask me!!! I don't trust any of 'em to do right by anyone other than themselves. -- Candy, 11:24:44 04/25/02 Thu
