wrong

Bush is right

Are you a teacher?

Probably not.

The "No Child Left Behind" act is a TOTAL Loser!

Ask any Republican Teacher, and there are plenty, and they will tell you the same thing.

It would be great if it dealt with the problem of Illegal Aliens, but it does not.

When you are continually feeding in the children of Illegal Aliens that have no English experience, No Cultural Experience, and whose parents generally have a culture of leaving the teaching of their children to the school district and never really getting involved, YOU HAVE A CONTINUAL RECIPE FOR FAILURE.

BTW, I have two Principles and four teachers in my immediate family. One of the teachers, my wife, is a Reading Specialist. Her responsibility and focus is to bring these children of Illegal Aliens up to speed. Usually this means moving them up at least 2 to 4 grades as that is how much they are behind.

Try living up to the strict guidelines of the No Child Left Behind act when your school district is 70% to 90% Hispanic and then you get back to me about how RIGHT President Bush is about this monstrosity.

Blind support for any man, without looking at the facts, is something that Conservatives should not engage in.

Yep...and remember the lines and lines of people waiting to get gas? Some Americans don’t want to remember those times but we can thank Carter for the misery then.

[Hamilcar_Barca]

No, grab the remote. I have mine next to the keyboard.

[jrooney]

Yes vaguely I do remember that.

Mr. Movie Star! :)

[luvie]

Awesome, concise and strong...not at all “lame duck”!

[RepublitarianRoger2]

Sure, buddy. Second time you’ve posted the same simplistic blather: “You are wrong. Bush is right.” Which is equivalent to a child saying “Nuh-UH!”

As a true conservative with libertarian leanings, I am fundamentally opposed to the concept of No Child Left Behind from the start. It is Federal intrusion into an area that should be controlled by state and local governments. It is anathema to the 10th Amendment. And that’s just for starters, nevermind the cookie-cutter nature that the educational programs have taken on because of it.

It’s a joke and needs to be repealed.

bwaaahhhAAA!

[STARWISE]

My great pleasure ... ;)

[Matchett-PI]

bttt

[Pinkbell]

Amen.

[txhurl]

I am so proud of and awed by this man.

And I’ve lived with him for like 14 years, as an Austinite.

Times I’d like to snap his neck, but mostly he’s done nothing but push America forward.

W, time for 5lb bass catchin with no Dick Gregory bitchin you didn’t catch and release, and no more Helen Thomas!!!

Retire well, Mr. President.

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

Thanks RK....I appreciate your presence as well!

[TheBattman]

Now we gotta spend $30 BILLION of our money on AIDS because they can’t wear a Rubber...??

or just keep it in their pants...

[callisto]

Brit just noted a conservative in the crowd asking President Bush, "How are you going to give a rebate to someone who never made a bate?" ROFLMAO...that was a good one!

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Not saying goodbye to President Bush yet. I have a feeling he's going to be kicking ass and taking name until the day he leaves. I just wish it would have come sooner.

God Bless You President Bush!

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Thank you.

How horrible the msm has been to attempt to trash this President at every turn.

But, guess what, the Deranged Dems and their presstitutes - have NOT succeeded!

Not here - not with me - and not with millions more like me - millions who now enjoy some measure of freedom who once suffered only brutal tyranny.

Viva GWBUSH!
