Quote from overbay21:
I think Hardcore Republicans are unanimously vociferous against pretty much all Democrats regardless of race - Obama, Hillary, Howard Dean, John Edwards. I think it has to do more with disdain for the political party they belong to (common denominator) than race. Hardcore Democrats hate republicans not because of race or gender but because of their Party affiliation. I don't know what you mean by I don't have opinions. I voted for Obama because he seemed to appeal to the most people and could bring an end to the typical cross party rhetoric that leads to nowhere (Exhibit A: See your last post to swstrader). Obviously your posts don't mean anything to the progress of America but that same type of communication goes on in Washington where it matters. I think Obama will to reach across party lines and try to make a more unified gov't with the country's interests first because he realizes this is the best path. I just hope the Republicans will accept his hand.
I said that I assumed you don't like Obama because from reading your posts you likely wouldn't want republicans having a say in what goes on and wouldn't be a fan of reaching across party lines stuff just as a lot of rightwingers wouldn't have wanted that the past 8 years. Am I right?

The same percentage as hardcore democrats; much lower than 25%.
And you wish to place the blame on Democrats? What cheek.Quote from jem:
...Our elementary schools are rotting, our major cities are falling apart...
Quote from jem:
I clicked on your fist link and it proves my point.
Democrats confuse spending on education with education. That is not how are system works. Dems spend on education and the money gets siphoned away to special interest groups and administration. California spends a fortune on education. Yet when it comes down to funding for typical kids sitting in the classroom the money makes no difference.
The money is spent in crazy manners on crazy programs with crazy admin costs and rules. The average student is left sitting in a class room which demands that teachers teach to the lowest level of student understanding. (most of the day.)
Instead of having a smart kids class and a mid class and lower level and a special needs class when necessary - like we did when we were kids. Now they mix everyone up and democratic PC utopian stew.
You can spend as much money as you want on that concept but it is not gonna work for 3/4 of the class. I doubt it even works well for the kids with special needs and the kids struggling with English who may or may not be smart kids.
It just one giant expensive crappy system designed by our "tolerant" state democratic idiots.
Your second link proves what. Remember obama promised to provide and effective stimulus bill which focused on infrastructure. Who pelosi and reid created was a billed filled with pork and some infrastucture.
By showing republicans suck - you are not showing that Dems have not rotted out our cities.
