Dearest Lt Governor Norton –
I say this with the deepest respect – after all, as a Republican activist, I want us to beat Bennet/Romanoff, and clearly, you’re one of our best candidates
In addition, I have a history of knocking on many doors and talking to many activists – I’m no expert, but I would like to think I know the grassroots ‘pulse’
That said – if you really really really want the Tea Party vote, you need to address your past support of Ref C and D
Love and peace –
Ali Hasan
love it! Norton wants Tea Party support when everywhere she goes she talks trash about them. Tea Party people who support her obviously aren’t tea party people.
TPPINOs?
Reagan in 1980 was the first of a long line of GOP candidates to call for abolishing to Dept. of Ed (as well as the Dept of Energy).
How did that work out for you guys?
I almost posted it myself.
Reagan wanted to shut down the Department of Energy. Until someone whispered in his ear that they made all of our nuclear weapons.
Never mind.
Our public schools continue to suck so I don’t see how ED had done anything terribly useful
we should also shut down state education departments and every local school board, I mean since–assuming, for the sake of argument, that public schools continue to suck.
the economy has been kind of sucky lately, so let’s shut down the Department of the Treasury and the Fed.
this could be big !
Doing the same thing and expecting different results is a form of insanity. Our public schools are failing the poor and the country and yet we keep trying minor tweaks.
I come back to the fundamental question – has ED improved things at all? Treasury and the Fed have a track record of being a very positive (albeit not perfect) influence. ED – what do they bring to the equation?
but I went to Fairview High School, and I’m pretty glad the money, mandates, and oversight from the federal Department of Education made that possible.
Hey, at the very least the DoEd represents a money bag for schools, and I know you have issues with increasing education funding but seriously, do you think slashing funds and money to schools is going to help anything?
Really good school. And yes the money is needed. But I’d like to see it used to better effect. Maybe have it be dollars that follow the kid – and a district must have open enrollment to get the funds.
I think the big question is not should we keep that money coming, but does ED itself add anything to the mix.
in fact, that question is never raised whenever this issue is raised. The point is not to debate education policy – but to show your feathers. Threatening to gut an entire fed gov department is meant to show cojones, and a level of ideological commitment (which is why she will not repeat this in public).
By ED do you mean the Department of Education, or education in general? I would think it would almost have to be the former, but I just want to make sure I’m reading you right.
Although at times I’m tempted to say we should eliminate every bit of the Education bureaucracy above the level of principal…
I still completely disagree, but that can wait for another day.
