I'm going with democrats....but....it's a good thing. They will promise this and that we will change this and that and as usual, they will do nothing (except maybe raise taxes)... in turn making it easier for the GOP candidate in 2008 to take the Presidency = )

I just don't want to loose my right to hunt and provide food for my family in that way.... Plus after spending a year in a hostile zone and sleeping/eating/going to the bathroom with a gun for that entire time it became kind of a friend or safety blanket.... I freaked out for a second once or twice after I got home because I thought I had lost my weapon... then I realized where I was (okay so there may have been a few beers involved *LOL*)

I would really rather the democrats to win because I really want them to raise taxes because our school is sooo close to just collapsing and it is really old too. Plus I hate Bush(the president) he is just so dumb because he uses big words to make him look smart(gah it's annoying). I'm a democrat but what we really need is a black female for president(not to be racist or sexist but it seems about time we need one)

Since most of bush's speaches are written for him I don't think it's his idea to use that verbage... not that I think he's a good public speaker though... *L* as far as a female president goes I would not be opposed to the idea, however, statistically speaking females act more emotionally than males, men tend to act more logically (not always the right logic I might ad) and I believe that it's this belief that has thus far kept a female out of the race.... Now as I stated I'm game for the idea but I'm not a fan of it being Hilary Clinton...I'd just like to see a competent president with the best intrest of our economy in mind, Male, Female black white whatever just someone who's for us....

If something I just said offends someone I apologize none of it was intended to be offensive.

more money will not fix the problem. want schools to be better?

1. hold parents accountable for what their dumbassed children do
2. hold kids to a high standard and if they don't make it, flunk them

As a parent I am responsible for raising my kids and I do not need to have our schools teach things like "it's OK to be gay" or "homosexuality is a form of birth control" (yes some dumb *** teacher said that to my kid)

3. Admission to college should be based upon grades only.......straight a students get priority overy anyone else

and Please Don't give me this crap about inner city schools suck. they suck becuase the parents failed to do their part in PROPERLY RAISING THEIR KIDS

I don't disagree with you yeu but I believe he was saying that the school needs remodeled because it's old and falling apart... New roofing, siding etc....

Once you fix the learning problems, the money won't be wasted on things such as cops in the school, security measures, etc and can be put into maint of the current buildings

Yeu I used to work at an elementary school and I can't believe that a teacher said that to your child. That's totally unacceptable. At the school I worked that teacher would probably not have a job anymore. I agree with you 100% about the responsibillities of parents with their children. I will continue to vote republican regardless of what democrats come up with. What about Bill Clinton? What did he do for our country? As soon as Bush got into office I receive more money back in my pocket from taxes. Bush has been faced with crazy situations. So someone else could have done better? I applaud him and I will never think badly of him. I honestly think he has been the best president considering all the insane things that have happened. I'm sick of all the negative press!!!! It's really crazy how everyone is so influenced by the press. I just choose not to be. It's just my opinion so don't be mad.
