Sure. But just TRY saying that about the military, and see what happens to you.

Or auto mechanics.

...even understanding that Kerry didn't mean what he said,

Except, of course, that 35 years of quotes from the prick shows that he did

I go back and forth on vouchers. If vouchers are instituted, I agree with you 100% that they need to be sufficient to pay for a decent school so poorer kids don't get screwed. It would at least have to pay for Catholic School. I think private schools are much more efficient than public schools, and that vouchers would create a healthy competitive environment, but I don't know if I want my tax dollars paying for some kid in Idaho to attend some militia school. There would have to be some serious rules on curriculum. This country has been balkanized enough by "multi-culturism"; I think vouchers may just finish the trend. That would suck.

Are you saying the transcripts and the video clip don't represent what he really said?


Tys response:

No.

Spanky claim that Ty disputes.

And now he admits that video I did show (that he mocked) did paint the entire picture but he still thinks some how it was stupid of me to post it.
I don't "admit" that your ten-second clip paints the "entire" picture, but I also don't care enough to research the point to argue with you. On this issue, the word of Dick Armey and John Derbyshire and Gatti's wife -- and there's a threesome for you -- is enough for me. Maybe they're all wrong, but I doubt it.

I don't buy into social engineering, but I think Reich's idea is an exception. Kids aren't responsible for what their folks can afford and educational parity is, in my view, a worthwhile endeavor. There should be no efforts toward economic parity, which is an offensive ideal for socialist types. But making us all smarter? Why not?

Problem is, would this program create a pile of lackluster schools milking govt money? Stated otherwise, would it be the same shit schooling under a different name?

Kids who go to them are less likely to have special needs and severe behavioral issues. Obviously, they're doing something right.

Better quality of weed. Bigger houses for keggers. Easier pussy.

Been to both. That's just my opinion. YMMV.

I have seen studies on what public schools cost per student and what private schools cost per student, and the private school are always way cheaper. I have seen studies that show Catholic schools spend as little as a third of public schools per student.

Of course it is somewhat unfair because public schools are required to give every student an equal education. So unlike public schools, private schools don't have to set up programs for students that get kicked out or have disabilities.

Dear Fellow Republican,

The fate of our Senate Majority depends on what dedicated grassroots Republicans like you do within the next 6 days!

Will you help provide the critical last-minute resources our GOP candidates need to finish strong by making an emergency contribution of
$25, $50, $75, $100, $250 or more to the National Republican Senatorial Committee today?

6 Days to Election Day

Time is running out, and the liberal Democrats are growing more desperate to win.

As of today, we only have 6 days left to help our candidates air critical last-minute advertising, as well as to contact, identify and turn out Republican voters in an unprecedented effort save our critical Senate Majority!

Please make the most generous contribution you can afford today to help our hard-charging Senate candidates fight the liberal special interests and keep America moving forward to security and prosperity.

Thank you!




Click Here to Make a Secure Online Donation!

...Please trust me when I say that your emergency donation cannot arrive a moment too soon!

Right now, a handful of Senate races in New Jersey, Tennessee, Michigan, Virginia and Missouri are still too close to call. They could go either way!

Although you and I have worked hard for our Republican
candidates, the liberal special interests will do or say whatever it takes to win these tight races and take over the Senate!

While they continue to pour massive amounts of money into Democrats' coffers in a final, desperate push to win, liberals like Ted Kennedy and John Kerry are also dishing out millions of dollars from their own personal campaign war chests to help other Democrats win and gain a Senate Majority they will use to:


Raise taxes on you and all Americans -- and then spend your hard-earned tax dollars on their elitist causes!
Grant amnesty to illegal immigrants;
Retreat on the War on Terror by cutting and running from Iraq;
Begin investigations against President Bush and his Administration.
Under no circumstances can we allow that to happen.

But time is running out. There are only 6 days until an election that could literally change the course of our nation, as well as the future of our Party and our President...

That means we only have a few days left to fund last-minute advertising to counter the liberals' negative attacks and fully implement our strongest get-out-the-Republican vote effort to date!

The NRSC needs your financial support now more than ever!

Please click here now to make an urgent, FINAL 2006 online donation of $25, $50, $75, $100, $250 or more to fully fund our last-minute advertising efforts and help make sure every committed Republican gets to the polls on Election Day!

So please, be as generous as you can possibly be -- and please don't delay your emergency contribution for another minute.

You must act within the next 6 days.

Thank you for your dedication to preserving our Republican Senate Majority and for your urgent, last-minute support of the NRSC today.




Sincerely,



Bill Frist M.D.
Senate Majority Leader
