Good news, Romney is out, the rest support Education!

By Sam Garchik

Well, it's down to 4 people, and while they still count delegates in California, New Mexico, and yes, Iowa (with more dropouts on each side, the delegates to county conventions, including yours truly, will probably realign), the race goes on. I've got some time, so let's take a look at something all candidates believe in: Eduqasion!

McCain: McCain went to public college (Anapolis) like his dad and grandpa. Why doesn't he prioritize education? Well, it's not a big priority of his, as listed as a link on his first page. But, he support a right to Choice. That's choice as in private schols, charter schools, and who knows what. Even Mike Huckabee's policies make more sense than yours.

Huckabee: He is all about music ed and local standards. Mike Huckabee is an interesting guy. I mean, here's a Baptist Minister who says, “My kids all went to public school. We need more funding for art programs.” This is one reason governor's can be better presidents than Senators, and its one reason I think he is a more compelling candidate than I think he wants the country to see.

Obama: He wants to make math and science a national priority. No argument here. It's true. Unless we launch our own satellites, the Communists will take over America. We need to respond to the Soviet Threat!

Wait, that was 60 years ago. Sorry. Obama also wants to fix No Child, end the dropout crisis, expand after-school and summer programs, and improve ELL. What's not to like?

Clinton: She wants to end NCLB, get better teachers, have summer internship programs, after-school programs, and in general run an education program much that of Obama. But in all fairness, his program is more detailed than hers, his proposals to fix NCLB, rather than end it, are more sophisticated than hers.

So, in sum. Everyone likes education, except McCain. He wants you to let your kids go to those schools that don't teach science. Or Math. Which means he DOES want communists to take over. And that's no good for any of us.
