For me, it will be moral issues that will be my deciding factor, as will it may be for others that are in the same predicament. If I could just combine what I liked in each candidate (a conservative with a good head for money and the underserved, then there would be no problem.  )
The deterioration of the Black family can not be fixed by any ONE party nor has it been caused by any ONE party. The question is still how will we save us? Can we put aside blind loyalty to a party to help our kids?
Since we are now talking about education, what's wrong with holding people accountable for their actions? (in this case, underperforming schools). Education spending increases, but a student's progress doesn't? Somethings wrong here. Maybe the NCLB act will reveal who REALLY is preventing our kids from achieving academic success (and not the teachers as a lot of people tend to believe).
And on a final note....
No one needs to put disclaimers on their post IF your intentions is to participate in a discussion and not a Verbal Smackdown 2004. We all can come from different points of view and still discuss the topic at hand.

Good post HK74
I agree with everything you're saying...and I don't know if our community as a whole is at the point where we're really accepting responsibility for our actions, and further willing to do what it takes to change things. I mean we're at the point where if you do question how "we" handle things...we're outcasts i.e. Bill Cosby! To me, only when we do that..AND really try to live according to Biblical truth will things change.
