From day one the agenda was to make all non-Democrat non-liberals look like ignorant racists.

True, but it backfired on them when more people identified and agreed with Archie than the other characters. Of course with the money they made off of it, we are still plagued by Lear and Reiner and Arthur...

I ran a business for nine years before going into academe. If I had taken money from investors which was clearly meant to be invested in one thing and I had invested it in manufacturing demand for a thing other than that which I indicated--even if related to the first thing--I would have been charged with Fraud.

I guess when its government money it is simply "empire-building."

Yep--except the 'free' part. That's courtesy of the taxpayers, of course.

...and of course, the Left in California only wants to indoctrinate the children; so why not start earlier? This only prepares them for Elementary, Middle School, Senior High and College.

"All I have done in my life the last 13 years is to try to make things better for children," he said. "What a terrible tragedy this would be if this mess would prevent children from getting what they deserve. Every child deserves a shot. Not just rich kids - every kid."

My intentions are unassailable!!My heart is PURE !!!

Nothing else matters!

Did you catch Sally Struthers on "Still Standing" the other night? Yikes!

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

""Stop Reiner? Stop Reiner from what? From giving kids preschool?"

Yes, yes, Rob, you...you alone...you personally...are giving every 4 yerar old in Cal pre-school. So why is it on the ballot, again?

[Marxbites]

Indoctrination by Govt "educators", as you so rightly point out, was the very same apparatus and agenda that the Progressives borrowed from the Euro-dictators whose considerable power they greedily wanted for themselves, and got thru judicial fiat.

[SmithL]

No.

That bad, huh?

[Hi Heels]

"Stop Reiner!" he exclaimed. "Stop Reiner? Stop Reiner from what? From giving kids preschool?" "

Stop Reiner from spending money that ain't HIS.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

"we are still plagued by Lear and Reiner and Arthur"

Did someone say "Arthur"?

[AJFavish]

It should be attacked on its merits and the only way to defeat it is to tell the people how many of the children who will benefit are illegal aliens and how much money will be spent on these illegal aliens each year.

[Sloth]

But Reiner pointed out that the opposition campaign's original name was "Stop the Reiner Initiative."

Uh, yeah. That's why it's called 'the opposition', you dork.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

I'll be kind and say, "Yep."

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

And, showing the lack of imagination by the opposition group.

They should have called it the "Stop The Meathead's Initiative". It would have resonated well with Boomers!

[Rummyfan]

Beatrice!

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

But Dudley has a better sense of humor and the movie was outright hilarious!

What talent and penache! Only DM could have pulled off getting into character by getting soused everyday when filming a movie about a drunk!

[airborne]

Rob Reiner on Monday said his opponents are targeting him for attacks to avoid discussing the merits of the universal preschool initiative he put on the June ballot.

We can talk about both, Meathead.

[antceecee]

Interesting comment.... could it be the Hollywood elite would like free babysitters for their illegal housekeepers-nannies-gardeners kids? Guess they are just helping out their employees.

And if any of you haven't heard the nauseating ad he had the taxpayers pay for, it was a knowing male voice telling us how little Amy was doing something that would make crime and high school dropout rates go down, get her into college, and basically save the world. She was attending preschool. Imagine the flowery background music. Yuck.

Meathead's premise is so dead wrong. Preschool is ONLY better than a hot car outside your john's apartment. Even a poor mother at home doing her laundry, with a few simple toys and books, is a better companion for a 3 year old than all preschools put together. There is nothing wrong with a good preschool, but being home with a loving, caring parent will teach and civilize the child better than a group situation.

And having the state take over all costs means that LESS moms will feel they are capable of caring for their own children. It STINKS. I would love to kick Meathead in the butt.

"Stop Reiner!" he exclaimed. "Stop Reiner? Stop Reiner from what? From giving kids preschool using your money? What's wrong with you?"

Uh... Rob...
