		<description>spencers mom, I think there&#039;s a few of those people who could use a time out. I wish Obama would put Geithner in the corner till he remembers how to be nice to ALL the kids and NOT steal the poor kids&#039;s lunch money. In fact, in the corner might not be quite enough in his case.</description>

		<description>I watched Sen. Nelson last night and Rachel ate his lunch...He obviously is protecting his Lobbying friends who happen to have gotten us into this mess.  It&#039;s OK to support a bridge to nowhere but wasteful to support building new schools and creating a learning environment.  The minds of the future will be wasted.  Nelson is a Republicon/Tallibon insurgent.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Anonymouse Says:

Perhaps this is part of the right’s effort to switch resources (vouchers) from public to private schools.

Strengthening the public system (quantity and/or quality) might be seen as a threat to those who want a wholesale switch over to madrasas.

*Oops* I meant private and parochial schools.&lt;/em&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Everyone needs to hit the green &quot;Recommend&quot; thumbs up on this one.  &lt;/strong&gt;It should be the Featured Comment added to the post.  It&#039;s right on target.</description>

Okay, so he said that the programs that his state had were underfunded but he’s against the government giving the states money to fund these programs? I’m lost. I hope the House puts all this stuff back in during conference.

Yeah, I didn&#039;t get that one either.  

I mean, I can understand the concern if the Federal government was going to start up a whole bunch of new education programs with lots of funding, and then turn them over to the states after a year with no additional funding.  But wouldn&#039;t the solution to that be to fix the policy rather than scrap it?</description>

		<description>Couldn&#039;t we come up with some sort of Congressional Entrance Exam?  Kind of like a SAT or IQ test.  Not something that is really &#039;flunkable&#039; but just lets the public know who they JUST elected.

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Ezra and Atrios observe that &quot;confrontation from the left&quot; is what is &quot;entirely missing from our political discourse.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;

For Real!

J. Stewart, Keith and Rachel are backing President Obama more than this 111 congress. Some dems are moving too slow and are not backing President Obama. 

Shit or get off the pot. There are new dems waiting to take your places.

And why is nelson worried about the repugs? He&#039;s done.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t think the Pukes actively hate the People.

I think they regard us mainly as useful livestock, to be used as they see fit: food, clothing, profit, whatever.

They want us not to die in our pens, but are otherwise mostly indifferent to our fate, either individually or collectively, as long as they still collect the revenues of our compliance.</description>

		<description>You have to wonder about the privileged white as in their minds giving a leg up for &lt;em&gt;those other people&#039;s&lt;/em&gt; children,  competing &lt;strong&gt;equally&lt;/strong&gt; with their own privileged group.... fear is there be it sub conscience of conscience.

If there could be such a study where you take children from all walks of life at age 5, remove any ethnicity for the study, remove info as to who the parents are and have each one dress the exact same way... by 12th grade we would see a different picture than we do now.</description>

		<description>And yet, NO ONE in the media seems to be making issue that these nitpickers and naysayers who are putting the economic recovery package under an atomic microscope, and sifting for political leverage for partizan purposes, did NOTHING OF THE KIND with Paulson&#039;s TARP funds.

AND, gee, it is NOT TOO LATE to DEMAND accountability for those TARP funds.  Hello. 350 billion pissed to the wind?  Not a peep from these savages, who are more concerned about  denying new public school buildings, or textbooks for children.  

F OFF, YOU PIGS! How about we put that money back in, eliminate corporate tax breaks, and ADD MORE money to the schools?  Someone should ask them:  &quot;Waht is more important: tax breaks for businesses or funding schools for children?&quot;  Just to get it on public record clearly.

Gotta split.

		<description>Rachel politely and firmly handed Nelson his ass.  She doesn&#039;t back down and redirects her follow up question based on the previous response.  That is a refreshing quality.

I don&#039;t understand what the R&#039;s have against education but they are consistent. Here in Arizona we have been blessed with a Republican witch, Brewer for governor now that Napolitano moved to DC.  Her first action is to slash funding for K-12 as well as Universities and at the same time promote tax credits for individuals and corporations who donate to their favorite flat-earth Madrasa.  (kudos to Anonymouse)</description>

		<description>Mr. Nelson needs to be de-programmed. The American Taliban (Republican Party, by its own admission) has got a hold of him and in their cult headquarters (known as the Heratige Foundation) they have brainwashed him into joining their cause. A political &quot;suicide bomber&quot;, if you will (oooohhhh... I&#039;d like to see that term used more -- they want to be the American Taliban, let us frame them in all appropriate terms).

Why do republicans hate America?

Why do republicnas hate children?</description>

And you automatically lose the argument when you say that the fed underfunds education and then, in the same breath, argue that the fed is looking to spend too much on education.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Nice catch.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Perhaps I need to have a sit down with Mr. Nelson. After I take him out of his time-out chair, that is.&lt;/em&gt;

Bwahahaha S&#039;mom. I read it the first time and saw:

		<description>And you automatically lose the argument when you say that the fed underfunds education and then, in the same breath, argue that the fed is looking to spend too much on education.


Repugs, and the dems who want to be like them, hate many, many things. One is children and anyhting that helps children.  Understandable from their basic philosophy, however, because those damn children refuse to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. They exist in a welfare-like state, sapping off of society and leeching off thier families.

Makes one wonder.... how many repugs would embrace allowing children to work in factories again, and work the coal mines again.  I would NOT be surprised to find most repugs endorsing that.</description>
