I'll t...MUD, you pose a lot of good questions. I'll throw my two cents at a few.<br /><br />John McCain could work with Kennedy on the Education bill because he is a moron. I have defended Senator McCain often because of his service, and sacrifice, which was admirable. <br /><br />I voted for him against ObozO too. But, I'm weary of his political ways. McCain has ALWAYS been a deficit hawk. Always. But, when he went to the floor of the Senate the other day, and quoted (favorably) an article from the Wall Street Journal that described the Tea Party folks as "hobbits," I washed my hands of him.<br /><br />He needs to find out which rest home Goldwater went to after he went looney, and check himself in. He is a doddering old fool that somehow lost his way.<br /><br />As to why the arts can not be funded in the schools. Well, I would damn betcha' that if Barb was in charge of education in Topeka...with ALL OF THE FRIGGIN' MONEY THAT GETS SENT UP TO THE EFFIN' DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, AND GETS PIDDLED BACK TO TOPEKA WITH STRINGS ON IT...she'd figure it out.<br /><br />But NO!!! The residents of your county MUST send bazillions of bucks to DC, and have it wasted by the beauractatic pencil pushers...and when that little fraction comes back to Topeka, it's got so many restrictions that hands are tied.<br /><br />Get rid of the Department of Education, and put local folks back in charge.<br /><br />As to abortion...well, you KNOW that you and I disagree. A woman certainly should have the right to control her own body. But, I'm of a mind that it does not give her a right to kill a baby that she happens to be carrying. <br /><br />Abortion is murder, pure and simple. <br /><br />But, I am even willing to just overturn Rowe v. Wade, and allow each State to make their own decision about how to handle the issue. <br /><br />It pisses me off that the SCOTUS subverts the States on issues. This one particularly. Hell, I don't care if New York, or California, or Illinois, or Florida (etc.) wants to leagalize murder. That's on them.<br /><br />But, there are States where the sanctity of life is respected by the overwhelming majority...like my own State of Louisiana.<br /><br />This is not an issue that should even be discussed on a Federal level.<br /><br />The Supreme Court sucks!<br /><br />Yeah...make judges stand for election. We do it here in Louisiana on our State Supreme Court.

Once they get to Washington, it's all about the political party, and forget the folks back home until election time!Scooney Adrifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09014731857174355364noreply@blogger.com
