[HELLRAISER II]

I can see by your previous post that you know exactly where i'm coming from, we had to buy a copy machine because the school only allows for so many copies per class. By my wife being a Science teacher it has also required the purchase of test tubes, experimental supplies and even pencils so that the kids who are to sorry to bring their own to school will be able to do their classwork. It's the craziest thing i've ever seen, they blame the teachers for everything and they don't even understand what's required of teachers today. Anyway that's enough of a rant, where you located?

[North Coast Conservative]

PING to Ohio, Pennsylvania; New York, and New Jersey, as well as the CPAC contingent.(And you know who you are).

My wife is a teacher as well and is madder than hell about No Child Left Behind. And all of her teacher friends, if they weren't Dems to start with, are madder than hell also, and will vote their anger.

It is unworkable, and seeks to punish teachers and school districts with large populations of special ed, minority, and immigrant children, (including many illegals who are illiterate in two languages).

I quote from the article:

Beltway Republicans, meanwhile, say the rebellion in the states is directed at the U.S. Department of Education, not Bush. Department officials interpreted the law too narrowly when they developed guidelines for state implementation, said U.S. Rep. Chris Cannon, R-Utah.

I ask you, one and all, who does the Dept of Education report to?

Does it not report to the Executive Branch?

Am I mistaken that Bush43 is at the top of the Executive Branch?

I would offer that Rep. Cannon (R-Utah) should get his head and a$$ wired together before making such profound statements as: "It ain't our fault".

Or maybe I am wrong, and someone more skilled in government will show me the errors of my ways, and I will apologize for making an a$$ out of myself here in this national conservative forum.

Wouldn't you think that a Republican Executive branch, along with a Republican Legislature, would work together to make sure that legislation that they want to take credit for works out the way that they intended it to, rather than try to backfill after the fact and blame it on the pointy headed "Professional Bureauocrats" when things don't turn out the way they were intended.

What do you think will happen when you give Teddy Kennedy the power to write legislation and then turn that legislation over to co-horts of the largest single contributor and lobbyist of the Democratic party?

Do you think it just might not turn out to be a banner day for the Republican Party?

Pogo was right:

We have met the enemy, and he is us.

I cede the rest of my time to the Bushbots who will blame me for single handedly pulling down the administration of GWB and supporting John F'ing Kerry.

In God We Trust…..Semper Fi!
