Bush took 5 years 9 months.  Obama only 18 months.

Bush managed to keep stuff secret longer.

From the hostile media and constant leaks?  You don't think it has anything to do with the fact that Obama did pretty much everything except try to solve the high unemployment rate?  (i.e. Obamacare, Cap `n tax, Financial Reform bill - not a jobs maker, stimulus bills for government workers, etc...)

One thing he could do is extend the Bush tax cuts from 2001 and 2003 for everyone.  Raising taxes when we have nearly 10% unemployment is just asking for disaster.

And also realize that the Feds will start increasing interest rates, probably in Q2 or Q3 of next year.  It'll be a double wammy.

Republicans and Democrats are just two versions of tax and spend parties, calm down.

but those republicans were rinos, not real republicans.  and they prefer to not tax while spending.

They were RINOS, not real fiscal Conservatives.  There the `Blue-Dog` Democrats that would had helped reduced the spending, but they got strong armed and eventually caved.

I know it seems trivial but I wouldn't want my kids to miss the Friendships, sports, social life etc. Unless they told me they hated it.
Academically our school is very good.

And that's where I think parents should have school choice.  Right now the quality of your neighborhood is probably directly proportional to the quality of the school.

And when kids become disruptive and are nondisciplinary they get booted from their school and have to find another one to go to.

i don't have children - why am i paying property taxes again?

I see your point, but in reality you need a choice where your kids can go to school.  Yes town with poor schools will have less students as their residents go to schools outside the city, but then the poor school can work on improving. 

Its often the younger teachers that don't have tenure that work at these schools.  Perhaps with fewer students they can forcus on improving them?

I don't think this is a Republican or Democrat issue about school choice.  Believe it or not I think Democrats want their children taught well and succeed too.

You DO have a choice Harmor. You want your kids to have a badass education in a good school district? Move to that town and pay the requisite property taxes.

Harmor, go watch "Slums of Beverly Hills" if you want tips on sneaking your kids into a good school system

If school choice becomes law, I will found a town without a school system and without property taxes. I'll invite parents to move to my town to save on taxes while getting a free education off of other peoples backs. Sounds like a grand plan.

     Not one of your (I mean the Republicans) best thought out positions...

Gee, your right G@lt. You do write so much better than I do.   If I had been borne with Down syndrome I mean.

Funny that the parentheses didn't make me lose your intended train of thought. But I never snacked on paint chips either.
Keep at it! Oh that's right, You don't read rebuttals. How long till he covers his ears and shouts " La La La la la LA La la La La !

Ok so only the rich can afford good schools?  I thought you were against the rich and those successful?  Wouldn't this system I'm suggesting be something more your ilk would approve of?

My ilk? What are you babbling about? I absolutely think that people should get what they pay for.

You seem to be under the mistaken impression that anyone that disagrees with you or Republicans in general is a liberal. There are more than two parties and two ideologies you know...

Its hard not to label you a Liberal when your ideologies in many subjects seem to mirror them.  If you are not then I take it back, sorry.

So then you and I would agree on Chris Cristie handling of the New Jersey budget?  He's a fiscal conservative. 

Also many of us Tea Partiers are fiscal conservatives.  Do you identify with us?

Ignore the dogmaticalness of social issues for a moment, I think we're closer idiotically than you think.
