Obama's foreign policy is an incoherent wreck. And it seems like McCain gets confused at times. I think we should have better choices. I'm in Florida which McCain should carry easily so I can vote with little consequences. The Democrats shot themselves in the foot. Obama might just blow a race that was their's to win.
The betting sites where people spend real money have Obama as a 3-2 favorite so we shall see.
Why is your handle dufreeper? What's the significance of it? Were you a Freeper who infiltrated DU or vice versa?
"Freeper" has turned into a generic turn for a conservative that goes stealth at DU for purposes of spying or interrupting. It is a fun game. I think originally the word "Freeper" was coined as a person who belonged to Free Republic. I've never been affiliated with them however. I had a lot of fun at DU "freeping" but don't do it as often any more. I've had this handle for several years.
Actually, it was my experience teaching that convinced me that everything was being done to PREVENT academics in the classroom. The amount of record keeping, standardized test giving, and general behaviorist teaching methods are enough to frustrate any teacher. I began to think that all school was was "baby jail," especially as I taught in a school with big barbed wire fences. Add to that the fact that there was money for all the wrong things, but never any money for things like new textbooks or school repair, and you just begin to wonder.
It's nothing we haven't been arguing in the Democratic party ourselves. What a damned mess.
You know, I remember voting for Paul Tsongas in a primary in the 90s. That was back when experiece meant something.
