More spoof from the Clinton scammers. How ridiculous. Pre-K? Come on, kids need a chance to just be kids. Not funneled directly into systematic brain washing. All her pipe dream would be is a bigger tax payer funded day care, for people already leaching off the system. Despite record high tax collection, [that actually made the back page of the news paper] we still hear whining for more money for education. Yet we still put out dumber, un-motivated, and phycotic children than ever before in our history. Let kids be kids, they have plenty of time to mature from first grade on. Instead of throwing more money and programs that deliver no results, we need to look at evaluating current programs, Cut administration, get pride for country, country men, and self back into the classroom, allow teachers/parents to actually dicipline, and promote morality instead of immorality. Then we'll see better children. All that can be done without more money, or any more schemes from the partners in power.

true rsox but quid pro quo; how may real estate speculators and bankers made billions during the Clinton era? I don't mean that point my finger in Clinton's eye but use it to point out that in our system of Government, we have the best representation that money can buy. They're all bought and sold like livestock. That's true for both sides of the aisle.

Hail to Hillary Clinton. Perhaps education is the answer. How is it that so many of the electorate of the United States voted on two separate occasions for G.W. Bush? Many people I speak with that voted for Bush twice... are now disenchanted with him. How long does it take to see clearly through the facade that convinces people of falsehood?

The people I speak to seem to oppose her for reasons that are not intelligently thought out. That she is affliated with a particular party is not grounds for rejection; nor is because she is a woman! Examining the issues for guidance seems to be the best solution.

Delusional, the man has no ethical moral compass, its not just Iraq and without Iraq he would have been a one hit wonder, the War President as he, Cheney and Rove and Rush like to call him had approval ratings in the toilet before 911, there is nothing there folks he is a party puppet and powerful corporations not the American people are pulling this mans strings and they don't want him to leave Iraq they are making to much money off the war.

There have been huge profits from the war that have been traced directly back to Bush campaign supporters. All of that money would have been lost to those stockholders. Conservatives would do well to admit this as well and cry out against it as they "rebuild" their moderate base.

I agree. He should have started thinking about timetables when the people started crying foul. After all, Constitutionaly, he can't be held to them if their part of the congressional war funding but it would have gone a long way to appease American citizens and maintaing what international relations we have left out there.

Being right of center though, I'd rather see a Democrat get the blame (LOL)!

diverinnl-If bush were smart he'd accept a timetable that would push withdrawl off to the next president and the resulting disaster on our economy as we pay for the war would get blamed on the next president, probably a democrat. But being left of center myself I'd really like to see him accept responsibilty.

rsox, no argument here. My personal opinion is that if we hadn't gone there in the first place, Bush's approval rating would probably be in the high 40's to perhaps the low 60's right now. The Iraq War completely destroyed his Presidency and perhaps the credibility of conservative nation wide. There would be the occasional scandal but nothing to the extent we're dealing with now.

What is she crazy; divert all those tax dollars give aways from the republican donor base, for shame Hillary. Use our tax dollars to benefit our children in our communities in our country, ridiculous we could buy more services from Halliburton. What she is proposing could start a trend soon more politicians will be demanding that tax revenues be used for the benefit of the all American people and not just Blackwater, Big Oil and the Faith Based tax hogs? And how can we afford this and the 3 billion we are spending every 3 week in Iraq, I suppose she will want to raise taxes for this program. And what about those GOP donations, children don't contribute to political parties and what if they become educated voters someday, what is she thinking. Oh my Hillary you have really lost it now.
