Two questions:
1. Because the union endorses a candidate, does that mean that all union members will "pull the lever" for said endorsed candidate??
2. Why have not the conservatives provided teachers with enough justification to move from the dem/lib/prog/pop philosophy to the repub/rino/conserv/tparty philosophy?

Well, who else are they going to endorse? Dtrategically, for the NEA, this makes sense..maybe they can extract something from Obama for doing this..

They may be “appalled” by the things mentioned, but they’re more in love with the payola and the “free money” the democrats hand out to their union pals, so they’ll hold their noses and vote for theft over principle.

Obama being much better than the alternative...Stunning brilliance from our "educators." At this point in time, the alternative is the "generic Republican" which doesn't seem to have a specified platform. Other than preserving and saving the Republic from the commies.

No and Conservatives need to run on eliminating the Dept. of Education and putting it back to the state and local levels.

". . . Conservatives need to run on eliminating the Dept. of Education and putting it back to the state and local levels."How...exactly...would ridding the nation of the Dept. of Education (which, by the way, I fully endorse) convince teachers - as a whole - to change their political philosophy...or at least move more to "the center"??

Teachers' Union Endorses Obama Despite Hating His Policies But they are STALINISTS.

Eliminating the Dept. of Education would be a good thing, and something the next conservative president should do. But it is also why the NEA chooses O over the “generic Republican”.
To: Vaquero
And perhaps, if you had been educated by other than a public school teacher, you’d KNOW that the proper spelling and usage would be “hope you’re happy”!

If they “really” hate the policies so much then they would have no problem eliminating the Dept. of Education.

...this makes sense..maybe they can extract something from Obama for doing this.. I would think that they'd stand to get more out of Obama by making it at least *seem* like they were wavering in their support. But... I suppose that one can't expect a bunch of five-dollar whores to play "hard to get".

McCotter (r-mi). he has a long history of being pro-labor. this would also be a sound strategy. it would be a resounding blow to dems when they realised they suddenly don't have a lock on the union votes, and they would bend over backwards offering the unions the moon to get them back.

Also...even if all of them - as a body - loathed the Dept. of Education, that in no way ensures it's demise.
My question remains....what can conservatives do to alter the philosophy of teachers - as a whole - from dem/lib/prog/pop to repub/rino/conserv/tpary?

GREEDY TEACHERS! GREEDY UNION!
DUMB AS A BOX OF ROCKS!
USEFUL IDIOTS!
GROUP THINKING FOOLS!
IF TEACHERS CAN’T SEE THAT, THEN YOU SHOULD NOT BE TEACHING!
I don’t want teachers that can’t even use the ‘critical thinking’ skill they are supposed to teach our children!
Anger, anger, anger!

We can’t. The depth and breadth of the progressive programing would require them to be ....deprogrammed. We have several generations of progressive teachers to un-teach.

"My question remains....what can conservatives do to alter the philosophy of teachers - as a whole - from dem/lib/prog/pop to repub/rino/conserv/tpary?"I'm afraid nothing can be done quickly.
Even if the left loses both houses of Congress and the White House, academe will be churning out graduates with the same political philosophy for years to come.
