It is becoming clear that BO has the votes to win. Are we ready for President BO?

I assume you are talking about the income tax projections posted.

I have doubts that this will occur, but wish them the best.

If you are concerned with that, are you also concerned that McCain is friends with G. Gordon Liddy who was convicted and spent only a portion of his 20-year sentence for his involvement in

Yes, I guess that's what it was. I do remember when I was still working my W-4 was Married, and I should have had it Married but withhold at higher single rate. We ended up paying over 1,000 back to the government every year I worked. And we never combined incomes was anywhere near 100,000. the most we made together was 92,000, and that was with all the deductions our accountant could legally get us.

Personally I think we shouldn't have tuition handouts, it's nothing more than a voucher. I fear I will spend much of my kids college on private school tuition, but once BO guts NCLB the right of parents to pull their children out of a failing school will be gone. No point in sending kids to college when they are academically unprepared.

That is a joke where I live (I believe we are the 5th largest school district in the U.S.).

At least those 90 that chose to advocate for their child did take advantage of the system.
Unfortunately, there are plenty of parents that put little importance on a good education, there is no educational system that can counteract that.

Even if it was only 90, I am glad those 90 had the option. They will have none when NCLB is gutted. Also, who's to say the number might not rise with time?

Did McCain pal around with any unrepentant domestic terrorists?

So, um, I was just wondering about all those poor college students that sit in Ayers classroom year after year, and the parents who knowingly send their children off to a college that would employ such a 'terrorist' to teach them, or the university that allows him to mold young minds as it were. Or the mortgage company that allowed the 'terrorist' to obtain a mortgage. Or the neighbors that live right next door to this very dangerous 60 year old man. Or perhaps the court system that allowed him to foster a young child whose parents were in jail?

Really the man had grown up and moved past his mistakes - why are you so entrenched in keeping him there? He has gone on to be a productive citizen. The police know where he is, if he was still considered a criminal he would be in jail.
