Huckabee Only Republican To Answer NEA Questionnaire

NEA Email

[Williams]

This is from the National Education Association's Email received today:

We are engaging in a comprehensive presidential recommendation process designed to ensure that NEA's candidate recommendation won't be based on personalities or partisanship. It won't be about who is more liberal or more conservative. It will be about what's best for students; what's best for educators; and what's best for public education, our communities, and our nation.

NEA's recommendation process is fair, bipartisan, and open. A candidate's political party is never taken into consideration, and all presidential candidates, whether they are Republican or Democrat, are invited to participate. To be considered for an NEA recommendation, candidates, in addition to sitting for an interview, must complete and support a majority of the positions in NEA's candidate questionnaire.

The candidates who completed our questionnaire and interview are:

Senator Joe Biden (DE)

Senator Hillary Clinton (NY)

Senator Chris Dodd (CT)

Former Senator John Edwards (NC)

Former Governor Mike Huckabee (AR)

Congressman Dennis Kucinich (OH)

Senator Barack Obama (IL)

Governor Bill Richardson (NM)

I just saw this email from the NEA president. They are a notoriously liberal bunch. It stuck out that Huckabee is the only Repub who filled out their questionnaire in an effort to get their support. I leave that to others to interpret pro or con.

Con!

“...that NEA’s candidate recommendation won’t be based on personalities or partisanship. It won’t be about who is more liberal or more conservative.”

Eyes rolling into back of my head...

"A candidate's political party is never taken into consideration, and all presidential candidates, whether they are Republican or Democrat, are invited to participate."

Translated: If you are a Democrat we want to make sure you are clear on your marching orders. If you are a Republican we are always looking for some fresh ammo to beat you over the head with.

Mike didn’t answer the questionnaire, he had he boy, the one that tried to go through the airport with a loaded Glock .. the same one that slit the dog’s throat and hung it on a fence.

[N3WBI3]

Right lets look at the fact he filled it out and not *what* he said...

[Vigilanteman]

You nailed it. I still like Fred Thompson best on this issue:
"The main problem with education in America is the NEA."

[San Jacinto]

It won't be about who is more liberal or more conservative. NEA's recommendation process is fair, bipartisan, and open. .....A candidate's political party is never taken into consideration, and all presidential candidates,

Baloney! No Republican should bother with a response to this phoney outfit.

[ishabibble]

The Huckster and the shameless NEA. Support is a two-way street. The fat slugs in that union love the Huck.

[Beagle8U]

Fred Thompson answered them directly in the Iowa debate.

[PORD]

I would like to see the NEA’s definition of bipartisan.

What I have seen of them goes beyond bias to bigotry.

[untrained skeptic]

Yea, I would say that Fred’s statement made answering their loaded questionnaire unnecessary.

[Baladas]

To most Republicans, answering an NEA questionaire on education is like a pro-lifer weighing in on abortion to Planned Parenthood.

A candidate's political party is never taken into consideration

Shut up.

[Travis McGee]

Dane, you somehow missed this one.

[Always Right]

NEA selection criteria:

1. Oppose vouchers.
2. Total support of the gay agenda.

Thanks for keeping Dane/Dano up to speed on their buddy the Huckster...

BULL$#!+.

It won't be about who is more liberal or more conservative.

BULL$#!+.

It will be about what's best for students; what's best for educators; and what's best for public education, our communities, and our nation.

BULL$#!+. (It will be about who will support the liberal agenda of the educrat union leadership -- which is lockstep with the Democrat party goal of transitioning the US to a purely socialist economy.)

NEA's recommendation process is fair, bipartisan, and open.

BULL$#!+.

A candidate's political party is never taken into consideration,...

BULL$#!+.

... and all presidential candidates, whether they are Republican or Democrat, are invited to participate.

BULL$#!+. Big Deal, if the candidate supports free markets or policies based on actual results and rewarding performance, the candidate is persona non grata with the NEA.

To be considered for an NEA recommendation, candidates, in addition to sitting for an interview, must complete and support a majority of the positions in NEA's candidate questionnaire.

(positions that align with the DNC's liberal big-government agenda.)

[Travis McGee]

They must be moving the Huckster war room. Dane and Dano have been MIA.

[hinckley buzzard]

Huckabee is anti-home schooling and pro-government-controlled schools. He and the NEA are natural allies.
