"And the kids know more than I would ever have expected."

Oh what the heck--let's just let them vote too.

My sister, a teacher in Palm Coast, Florida (located about 20 miles south of St. Augustine) told me that her school conducted a mock election just last week. Out of approximately 1200 students voting (grades K thru 5 I believe), George Bush won 653 to Kerry's 547.

But the biggest and most encouraging difference between the school's 2000 mock election and this year's is that the students seem more opinionated and better informed, Alt said

And thus President Bush wins.

When my then 5 year old son was in kindergarten a couple of years ago, somehow the topic of President Bush came up between him and a girl classmate. He told me the story later that night. The classmate told my son, "George Bush! He's an evil man" My son replied, "He's not evil! He's a Republican!" He had such righteous indignation in his voice when he was telling the story. I was so proud of him for sticking up for the President.

You noticed that a so called "reporter" asked the boy why Kerry freaks him out, but yet no reporter asked that girl exactly what were Bush's lies? I know. I know this was an elementary school straw poll, but even the rats reporters were allowed to challenge that one student slamming Kerry. If you want to show your class something, if nothing at all, show them the ways the media bends over backwards for certain political parties. You can start with Dan Rather, ABC Political News Director and ask your favorite VC program (night night line).

"I just don't like Kerry," declared 10-year-old Robert Reyes. Asked for a reason, the boy thought for a moment, then replied, "because he freaks me out."

Bless your heart, son. Me too...

The truth of Kerry in a nutshell. . .I hope more people have the eyes of this ten-year old, when they prepare to cast their vote.

It takes the innocence and simplicity of a child to see the truth quite well.

I'm sure this is NOT the right way to bring this to the attention of our fellow freepers, but a leftist acquantance of mine sent me this link today.

I personally think that the site should be freeped, but it's your decision.

Here's the link: http://www.bushvchoice.com/ultimate_machine/index.html

Perhaps some link savvy folks can get "happening"?

I remember my first mock election as a little kid - Nixon and McGovern. Nixon won by a landslide and I got my first taste of what it is like to feel disgust towards a liberal. It was a valuable lesson.

Back in the 96 election there was a vote at our kids school. They were in the 2nd grade and knew they were voting for Bob Dole.

When they came home I asked them who they voted for and they said Bill Clinton. I asked them why they voted for Clinton and they said that Bill Clinton was the only guy they knew, the other guy was Robert Dole. We had never talked about a Robert Dole.

Yep, just another small way that libs try and spin elections.

If this article isn't so typical of the media. Bush wins the vote, but the first quote is from a little girl who voted for Kerry who said Bush was nervous and twitched.

The article then goes on with more quotes from the kids, which total three for Kerry and two for Bush.

But Bush won the vote.

"It made him look stupid," said Diaz.

Very astute observation of the pandering know-it-all.

All this brings me back to my grade school year, in '84.

Our school overwhelming voted for Reagan.

I hope this is an idicator of the same trend for the President.

She said she considered Kerry's purported religious faith to be somewhat phony, citing a speech in which the Senator called 'John 16:3' his favorite Bible verse, when he intended to say John 3:16. "It made him look stupid," said Diaz.

Never happened, though. Or actually, it did, but it was George H. W. Bush who made the mistake.

"Bush said a lot of things that weren't true," Sim said. "And he's killing our soldiers."

No Sim, that's not right.

Our soldiers are dying because they're fighting against the terrorists so that these terrorists don't kill Americans like you and your parents (who obviously told you that Bush was killing our soldiers), as they did on 9/11.

So the right answer is that terrorists are killing our soldiers, and your mommy and daddy are too ungrateful to tell you the truth about why they're dying.

They're dying to protect you and me.

In the end, Bush won with 473 votes, compared to Kerry's 365. But teachers called the exercise more important than the results.

Teacher-speak for, "How in the heck are we going to brainwash kids to vote for who we want them to vote for???"
