It has broken the NEAs stranglehold on the education standards of our kids. Nothing but the government could do that. Our schools actually have to perform now, and not doing so brings local scrutiny. That is a fact you overlooked. More kids being able to read would be another annoying fact, which is the aim of the program.
This is still a great site, but sadly the days of hard core analysis like we saw here pre-2000 are behind us. For those who disagree, consider that the single greatest number of comments on this thread were aimed at disparaging Democrats' looks or attire as opposed to interpretint/analyzing the substance of this address.
No need to change the channel on Webb.He is so monotone, it just sounds like background noise!
What a punk! (Webb)
It's hard to take an ass seriously when it speaks.
Actually someone posted that on another tread to me, I have not been a liberal since Ford pardoned Nixon..
before then I was a rabbit Socialist, then read The Federal Papers, Bill of Rights, Constitution, things they didn't have me read in school.
And a weird thing happened, I realized that these dead guys wrote what I believed before I even believeed it.
Some people have no perspective ... or memory.
CSPAN-2: congresscritters being interviewed about the speech.
Sen.Thune: this speech was designed to bring people together .. a positive step.
He even managed to piss Reagan off. He is a nut with a temper. I'm really embarassed for Va these days.
"Condi is burning a whole through the video screen..."
LOL. Yea, that was obvious. She looks tough!!!!
Economic? Wha? Uh... the robber barons are the heads of the dem party.
LOL
Hes got a forehead like a beluga whale!
LOL. That's the only thing you can say that puts a positive spin on their behavior. Not even applauding the President's call for victory. They are shameless.
Yes, among other things!
Is he done yet???
BIG time!
Unfortunately I heard Hannity talking about the SOTU speech today - had not paid any attention to what would be discussed other than the WOT - and was taken aback re: Hannity's readout of the proposed change in healthcare insurance - TAXING those who have more of a $15,000 per year benefit in health insurance. That was Hannity's emphasis. I fully understand that I do NOT get my news from Hannity - I mostly get it here on FR after sifting through the nonsense and the thousands of alarmist threads. (Hillary as President is NOT alarmist but factual fear).
Anyway - I needed to read your post. Thank you. I have said many times that I FEAR the day when President Bush is out of office. We will NEVER have such a man as President again - there certainly isn't anyone on the horizon with the qualities he has brought into the office. I loved Reagan - but President Bush has had the RIGHT STUFF for the times we live in. I thank him.
I just need more information about the healthcare initiative he is proposing.
Im a newbie?
"Where does THAT come from?!"
Same place as how we are "drifting apart on class lines." He's an idiot.
