Hillary Clinton voted for No child Left Behind

[wnslnadu21]

Just so you know

[Thrill]

Shes a flip flopper

[mtnsnake]

16. She's not a flip flopper. However, Obama is a flip flopper plus a hypocrite, so he's a flippocrite

because he claims on one hand to be the only candidate who's entirely against the war, but on the other hand he votes to fund it all the time, so he's not only a flip flopper, but a hypocrite, which makes him the one and only flippocrite.

1. Just a little flame baiting ... looks like a Repug troll at work

[Maine-ah]

8. #7

[AX10]

2. Good to know!

I would have opposed that disaster too.
That is one of the first things I want scrapped in 2009.

3. So did 47 of 49 Democrats but Obamites NEVER mention that

Noted DINos Paul Wellstone, Patrick Leahy, and Ted Kennedy (who wrote it) also voted for it. :eyes:

St. Obama of No Record has the same position on No Child that Hillary has no. In fact he is the most RW on education.

7. Explain her vote, not what other people did, what she did. She is a leader right?

[kikiek]

4. Yeah she is just evil

5. And Obama's god Ted Kennedy was a co-sponsor

I despised him for that, but at least Hill is talking about fixing it.

[LWolf]

11. You don't fix cancer. You eradicate it.

Richardson said he would support the end of NCLB, and Biden said he would consider it. Those are the strongest, most positive statements I heard about NCLB from candidates. Kucinich and Edwards also made some quite hopeful statements about NCLB and high-stakes testing.

Neither Hillary nor Obama are on top of this issue. Between the two of them, though, HRC has to win the public education issue by default, because Obama's is so bad. From this teacher's perspective.

14. NCLB is one of the worst things to come from the Bush years

And that's saying a lot. I would love to see a stake put through the heart of that awful bill, too.

[LWolf]

18. I have to hope for that,

even if it seems unlikely.

It keeps me shielded from breaking down under the stress and rage NCLB engenders.

[jillan]

6. And who was the brainchild of NCLB????

Anyone?

[BringBigDogBack]

9. gracias.

[Auntie Bush]

10. Didn't Ted Kennedy sponsor it so he could get his brother Bobby's name

on some building (I forgot which one?)The old Hoover building maybe?

People had hope it would do good...but it was a blunder. Did Obama vote for it? I have no idea.
Enlighten me...gently.

[wnslnadu21]

15. Defend her vote, not point to what others have done, she is a leader right?

[paulk]

17. why should we?

you're going to be taking a dirt nap pretty soon

why waste time responding to your nonsense?

[wnslnadu21]

20. Because, there is a good chance she is going to be my president one day, I want to know why she....

voted for this bill, a lot of people talk about how there is no substance on this site, lets get down to it. Tell me why i should vote for her when i can not understand why she voted for this. Tell me why, that is reasonable.

[paulk]

21. you're not going to vote for her, why should I waste my time?

[ecstatic]

12. So what was up with Bill dissing Ted Kennedy the other day?

That's very odd.

[Medusa]

13. Shhhhh.

Stop telling the truth about Hillary!

[paulk]

19. what are you, the sock puppet for all these troll threads tonight?

you could at least try to be a little subtle.

[rodeodance]

22. another newbie with a few posts comes on to hit Clinton! Good poop elsewhere!
