And I know some teachers (ranging from administration to classroom level) who really like it. I guess like anything else it depends on who you talk to...

And many studies would show otherwise. Let's not forget that it was a bipartisan effort and some said an idea stolen from the "Other" party. Most of the rumbling has come from annoying teacher's unions.

Unions that in some cases don't even look out for their own members.

Speaking of George W.

Is there anyone out there willing to give him a blow job so that he will be impeached and we can rid ourselves of this bonehead?????

Anyone?

Clinton was impeached because he lied under oath to a Grand Jury.

Also, impeaching Bush wouldn't remove him from office; there's a whole other process after the impeachment.

I know, dear. It's called a JOKE. Doesn't necessarily have to be 100% correct for it to work.

My bad - long day, I think I'm just taking everything too seriously/at face value.

However, in this case, as I pointed out, the rumbling is coming from friends who are long time teachers and administrators.

That doesn't mean that all educators agree with them.

Mrs. DA is a former high school teacher, and has a lot of friends who still teach.

What stance does Jeb take on illegal immigration? :rolleyes:

Munchkin03 05-11-2006 04:06 PM

He's the father of "the little brown ones."

I hope George P. runs for something. He is HOTT hot.

He wrecked Florida's education system among many other things.

lol, well i've only been in florida for about 3 years....i do know that the FCAT is a huge controversey...but he didn't do too bad with the hurricanes that have been battering us.

I've been interning in Tallahassee this year and have met Governor Bush many times.

He is a very very intelligent man, regardless of his political views. I do think he would do a better job than W.

Also note that if Jeb did want to run within the next 20 years, he has a strong following. He has been playing the hispanic vote throughout his tenure in Florida, having appointed the first Hispanic Florida Supreme Court Justice, and now having the first Hispanic speaker of the house.

And, he speaks fluent spanish while having a wife from Mexico.

I don't have the numbers, but as I should recall, the growth in the number of Hispanics in the US is projected to be greater than all other minorities. (except maybe blacks?, not sure).

DeltAlum 05-11-2006 11:43 PM

I believe that Hispanics are supposed to become the largest US minority group within the next few years.

On the topic of Jeb's wife, why not begin the debate now...

Didn't a lot of people make a big deal out of Mrs. Heinz-Kerry not being a US born citizen?

I don't think that was the point of the comment, though.

Frankly, I don't think it makes a bit of difference, but if it is a potential problem for one family, shouldn't it be the same for another?

Or was it really just a political smokescreen to attack a candidate through a spouse?
