Nekro Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Word is that Ben Barnes kept his role in getting people into the texas Air National Guard quite hush-hush until the swift boat veterans came out, now he's going on 60 minutes to lay the smackdown. Get ready for an interesting post-convention ANG media blitz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nekro Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 OK, now to education. The Bush Education plan (popularly known by its catchphrase "No Child Left Behind") establishes a few guidelines for public schools. The main, overarching idea was to hold schools responsible for effectively teaching their students. From the Department of Education website: Under the act's accountability provisions, states must describe how they will close the achievement gap and make sure all students, including those who are disadvantaged, achieve academic proficiency. They must produce annual state and school district report cards that inform parents and communities about state and school progress. Schools that do not make progress must provide supplemental services, such as free tutoring or after-school assistance; take corrective actions; and, if still not making adequate yearly progress after five years, make dramatic changes to the way the school is run. This means that elementary and middle school students get to take another series of standardized tests each year. These tests disrupt the classroom in numerous ways: they take several days to complete, weeks to prepare for, and force teachers to spend more time "teaching to the test" instead of on their own curriculums. There is no national standard, allowing each state to set its own definition of where each student should be (38 states reported above-average results one year). There is also no additional funding provided to support this mandate, leaving districts to fend for themselves. Students in schools that fail 2 years in a row have the option of transferring to another school within their district, including charter schools. Thing is, if one school in a district sucks; the rest of them probably will too. Also, charter schools have hardly lived up to their hype (the nytimes article quoted is subscription only): The first national comparison of test scores among children in charter schools and regular public schools shows charter school students often doing worse than comparable students in regular public ... The findings, buried in mountains of data the Education Department released without public announcement, dealt a blow to supporters of... Moreover, the whole "school choice" movement is basically a front for people who want to send government money to religious schools. The NCLB act also forces high schools to distribute their students' names, addresses, phone numbers, and birthdays to military recruiters or face the loss of all their federal funding. The best predictor of how well a child will do in school is how much education their parents recieved. The way to bettering education in America is to make it less costly to go to college. Because of the bush tax cuts, many state governments have budget deficits. Because the states, unlike the federal government, cannot have a running deficit, tuition costs at our public universities have skyrocketed. This has put a college education out of reach for thousands of intelligent, driven young Americans. John Kerry has a plan to help more people go to college. George Bush has no such plan. Compassionate conservatism is bullshit. They're still fucking us in the ass, they're just using KY jelly and calling it something different. Pay attention to it and it's as fake as W's down-home texas image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixie Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 i thought this was pretty funny... from comedy central's indecision 2004 Election Decoder Let's Grand Ol' Par-tay! Edition The Indecision Election Decoder's lights are flashing, which means it's ready to take the latest political moments, process them and tell you how it really is. This week, the Decoder flipped on its Turbo-Bullsh*t Detection® system as the Republican Party took to the airwaves to prove to the American public (9/11) why they (9/11) should be put in the White House (9/11) for four more years (9/11). Fact: In an effort to seem a bit more moderate and middle-of-the-road, the Republicans roll out the most likable, popular personalities in their party. Decoder Sez:Remember that movie "Can't Buy Me Love," where dorky Patrick Dempsey pays the pretty, popular cheerleader to act like his girlfriend and make him seem more cool? It's kind of like that. The Republicans are hiding their Jerry Falwells and bringing out their Giulianis and their McCains. And don't forget star quarterback Arnold Schwarzenegger -- he's SURE to get the Republicans elected Prom Queen in November, right? Fact: Protestors take to the streets of New York; hundreds of arrests are made daily. Decoder Sez:If only people put as much effort into other costumes, maybe the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade wouldn't be so boring. Little known fact: That fake money that those "Halli-bacon" protestors with Cheney masks printed? It's legal tender in at least three states. Fact: After four years of avoiding the spotlight, the Bush Twins emerge on stage at the Convention, ready for their close-up. Decoder Sez:Sure the Bush Girls' speech was a bit esoteric. Who else but a true pop-culture junkie would get those obscure references to Sex and the City and OutKast? If the Twins aren't careful, they might sink further into the seedy artistic underground -- next thing you know, they'll be showing off their matching crotch tattoos at Burning Man...

DITDxCULT Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Kerry's Response to the RNC Kerry takes the gloves off John Kerry has had enough of the litany of half truths and personal attacks against him that have filled the GOP convention hall all week in New York. The Kerry campaign has just released the following prepared remarks, to be delivered tonight at a campaign rally in Springfield, Ohio. "We all saw the anger and distortion of the Republican Convention. For the past week, they attacked my patriotism and my fitness to serve as Commander-in-chief. Well, here's my answer. I'm not going to have my commitment to defend this country questioned by those who refused to serve when they could have and by those who have misled the nation into Iraq. "The Vice President even called me unfit for office last night. I guess I'll leave it up to the voters whether five deferments makes someone more qualified to defend this nation than two tours of duty. "Let me tell you what I think makes someone unfit for duty. Misleading our nation into war in Iraq makes you unfit to lead this nation. Doing nothing while this nation loses millions of jobs makes you unfit to lead this nation. Letting 45 million Americans go without healthcare makes you unfit to lead this nation. Letting the Saudi Royal Family control our energy costs makes you unfit to lead this nation. Handing out billions of government contracts to Halliburton while you're still on their payroll makes you unfit. That's the record of George Bush and Dick Cheney. And it's not going to change. I believe it's time to move America in a new direction; I believe it's time to set a new course for America." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
