Does that 85% number include kids from all types of schools -- including homeschooling?
To: Eric in the Ozarks
Yeah, but she cant help it. Brain donors like her just dont have a prayer.
To: West Coast Conservative
What he meant to say was that he was only in attendance at high school 53% of the time.

But 53 percent of our children don't graduate from high school. Kids don't have after-school programs... He didn't ask America to sacrifice anything to achieve great goals and the biggest example is making the tax cut permanent for the wealthiest people in America. The average American struggles to find time to take carry of families, working two or three jobs. Maybe parents don't want to pay for kids to have after-school programs. Maybe parents would rather their children come home after school. Oh right, less time to indoctrinate those kids in good Dimmocrat values. Maybe I don't know any average Americans, but Kerry's grammer leaves a lot to be desired. Did he mean families work 2 or more jobs, or individuals work 2 or more jobs ? Maybe if taxes weren't so high Americans wouldn't need to work 2 or more jobs, hhmmm ? Why do all these politicians think an appeal to "sacrifice" is a stirring call to Americans ? Anybody here want to "sacrifice" anything ?

Well, it depends on what the definition of "graduate" is. I would think all they have to do is pass the "condom on the cucumber" exit exam, and they're ready for the world.

More palaver about tax cuts for the wealthy. Geez.
The top 20% of taxpayers in America pay more than 80% of the taxes. The bottom half of taxpayers? Only 4%. So, who needs tax cuts? People who don't pay taxes? Nonsense.
Senator Kerry is such a whining gasbag. The voters in MA must be positively crackers to keep returning this meathead to the Senate election after election.

So just how many URBAN children has Kerry fathered?
Is he in a race with Bill Cliton and Jesse Jackarse?

On this one, Kerry is right How do you figure that? There is no way half the kids don't graduate from HS.
To: West Coast Conservative
In Kerry speak, what he meant to say was that 53% didn't graduate before they did graduate.

This is probably where Kerry got his numbers:

They claim 53% of African Americans graduate, but considering that there overall graduation rates are off by over 10%, I doubt these numbers.

The 47% who don't graduate work in the ketchup mines of western Pennsylvania under the rule of the white raisin queen.
