Were my ears deceiving me?

I swear I just heard Rmoney talking on his latest campaign stop that children should go first and teachers were just going to have to be left behind. WTF? I mean, we KNOW that's what he wants to do, but what kind of a doofus would say this at this point in the campaign?? I thought his whole schtick was supposed to be about the economy and jobs, jobs, jobs. Now he actually goes on the trail and talks about taking away jobs? Why now? Is he stupid or is it his campaign managers?

1. Maybe Palin told him to go ROGUE.... :)

2. It's his typical flip-flop

Tomorrow, at another stop he'll say that the teachers should be fired, and kids should borrow money from their parents to go to college.
Same stuff, different day.

3. I was listening and he actually said this...........

children and teachers should come first and the teachers unions will get left behind. But I really think this is the same thing as leaving the teachers behind. Same ole Robme.

4. Thanks

I didn't hear the "union" part, so not quite as stupid. Still, where is the jobs talk?

6. Why is bad for teachers to use someone to fight for more money and perks

and it is okay for execs to hire a law firm to fight for millions in pay and perks??

[Spazito]

9. Teachers also fight for better learning environments for their students...

often use their own money to purchase classroom essentials rather than see the students have to do without. To say they, through their union, only fight for more money and perks is grossly inaccurate.

10. You totally missed my point

I only asked about one small part of the education debate.
We can have a discussion about education in the Education Forum anytime you want, just send me an email when you start a post.

Now do you want to answer the question I asked or did you just want to attack me??

[Spazito]

14. No, I didn't, I understood clearly your point hence my response n/t

[Angry Dragon]

16. If you had understood my point you would have answered my question and

then asked me a question or made your comment to expand the discussion

[Scuba]

7. Won't need the teachers once the kids are all in factory jobs.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

13. I will be close to that bad...

with the right wing in charge... maybe worse.

8. Home schooled students are the future.

Incredible tax savings for landowners.

Forget evolution. We coexisted with dinosaurs about ten thousand years ago.

With a generation of brainwashed children behind them, they will have a full wind behind their sails on our great journey to serfdom.

Expect the new "FOX Learning Channel" to premier soon. The home school primer to help those teacher parents.


You don't need a tin foil hat to believe it. We are not shocked by the extremes they propose anymore.

11. Oooh scary thought

Fox "Learning" Channel - oxymoron
