As if McCain’s recent series of petty attacks on Obama aren’t enough to paint the old fart as pathetic. Now the McCain campaign is paying people to troll for him:
People who sign up for McCain’s program receive reward points each time they place a favorable comment on one of the listed Web sites (subject to verification by McCain’s webmasters). The points can be traded for prizes, such as books autographed by McCain, preferred seating at campaign events, even a ride with the candidate on his bus, known as the Straight Talk Express, according to campaign spokesman Brian Rogers.
The sign-up page, complete with talking points du jour and a report form, is located here.
I hope it works! I mean, nothing says “credible candidate” like the same talking point being dumped over and over again in every comment thread that even peripherally mentions McCain. I mean…it worked for Ron Paul didn’t it? (And those lovable whack-jobs weren’t even getting paid for their robo-commenting.)
I’m encouraging everyone (yes…even you) to get a piece of the action. I mean, the McCain paraphernalia memorabilia will be highly prized some day. Besides, how many of McCain’s supporters actually know about The Internets AND know that it’s a Google in order to find the “Spread The Word” page?
Therefore, by joining in the fun, you not only spread your own philosophy of McCain and his talking points, but you earn cool stuff and help the economy by enticing the McCain staff to hire additional webmasters to wade through thousands and thousands of comment reports.
The easiest way to comment is to simply copy the talking points verbatim. But my own recommendation is this:
John McCain is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life.
What could be more positive then that? Hundreds of thousands of times in blog comment threads across the land. Day after day.
Got another idea? Leave your suggested message in the comment thread. And then sign-up, get busy, and start earning cool stuff!
Pathetic indeed. The R’s must really want to suffer in obscurity for the next 40 years……
And somewhere in the Bay Area, Don Novello must be laughing his ass off at this…..
What, no credit to me.
I posted the mcsame link days ago.

Strange, you didn’t know about it until it became a talking point on dailykos.
They’ll have to pry John McCain from my cold, dead hands. Oh no, those are his cold, dead hands.
Marvin,
“What, no credit to me.”
Nope…I don’t typically read your drivel.
“Strange, you didn’t know about it until it became a talking point on dailykos.”
Nope…I rarely read DailyKos, either. I saw the WaPo link in a news aggregator.
Got any more stupid-ass questions?
Daddy Love @ 3,
Bonus! Perhaps you will earn a biopsy sample for that one!
I admire the trolls that pop up on this site from time to time. I rely on them to cut through the crap. They remind me that this site is nothing more than an advertisement for Goldy’s future political career. That’s why he doesn’t bash Democrats, even when they almost choke their wife to death, or trade political favors for reelection money. He’ll need the party’s support one day when he decides to run for city councilman. His silence is very calculating, very machiavellian in nature. And while I despise his turning the other way when a Democrat is involved in controversy, I admire his cunning.
“John McCain is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life.”

Yes, because he’s using it to make fun of idiots like you.

Embarrassing.

How did I best him? I just copied and pasted what he wrote. How did I learn of such devious keyboard shortcuts?!?
Again with that over inflated ego.
It’s hard not to when you’re around.
Jump, Marvin, jump!
I hope you understand that on this blog a moderate is considered a right-wing extremist.
Even lee had no sympathy for that, as he called him, “Jewish democrat” that was being compared to the kkk in that tinker ad. Hhmm, didn’t seattle jew post on his blog something like “Lee, however, is a self described person of Jewish descent but does not want to be considered Jewish.”
No wonder he used the word jewish to describe cohen, the “jewish” democrat.
That question is best asked of all your reject blog posts.
hahahahaha
I’ve long suspected that the right-wing trolls on this board must have been hired by somebody to spend all day posting on websites such as this. I just didn’t know how little they were getting paid to do so.
Gee, Obama, Gregoire, and Burner haven’t offered to pay me a thing for my posts. But then, it’s in my self interest, and that of my children, for them to be elected. Since a great majority of the American people earn less than $250K a year, I guess the McCain people feel that they have to pay them SOMETHING to work against their own interests.
@15
I hope you understand that on this blog a moderate is considered a right-wing extremist.
Really? Want to provide a link to that? Or even give an example?
Even lee had no sympathy for that, as he called him, “Jewish democrat” that was being compared to the kkk in that tinker ad.
Here’s the exact exchange:
I mentioned that he was Jewish because that highlights the absurdity of claiming that he supports the KKK.
Hhmm, didn’t seattle jew post on his blog something like “Lee, however, is a self described person of Jewish descent but does not want to be considered Jewish.”
Please keep using SeattleJew as a source of unbiased and accurate information. I’d love to see where that ends up.

Yeah, “no wonder”.

There’s probably a reason for that . . .

They know that what’s said down here matters for nothing other than our own amusement (or on rare occasions to have an enlightening discussion).
Lee, I have an honest question for you, so I hope you answer my question directly and honestly.
Let’s say that tomorrow it became known that a very prominent local male Democrat was just accused of raping a young child. But let’s also say on the same day a story appeared in the Seattle Times that Reichert was pulled over for driving drunk the night previous.
Which story do you think Goldy would remain silent on, and which do you think he would blog about?

You’re confused. I said that I typically don’t read your drivel.
I strongly suspect that YOU did not write the McCain web page, nor the WaPo article.
Back to the Mel Bay books for you, Squirt!
@24

I write all my blog posts for free too. And I enjoy the hell out of all of it. I’m thoroughly entertained by making fun of the idiots who come here (and no, I certainly don’t put you in that category, you and I have had some good discussions already).
Today’s Rasmussen Poll–
Thursday, August 07, 2008
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows Barack Obama attracting 44% of the vote while and John McCain earns 43%. When “leaners” are included, it’s Obama 47% and McCain 46%. With leaners, the candidates have been within one point of each other for seven straight days.

Troll,
“Let’s say that tomorrow it became known that a very prominent local male Democrat was just accused of raping a young child. But let’s also say on the same day a story appeared in the Seattle Times that Reichert was pulled over for driving drunk the night previous.
Which story do you think Goldy would remain silent on, and which do you think he would blog about?”
The question is irrelevant. This is a blog, not a newspaper.
Your complaint is akin to going into a video store and whining that they don’t have a very good selection of magazines. Or subscribing to a Harley magazine and complaining that they don’t ever have articles about Vespas.
On Horsesass, Goldy, Lee and others write about whatever topic we feel like writing about. So, it is entirely irrelevant whether there are other news stories (or newsworthy stories) available.
@23

He would blog about Reichert. Why? Because this is a partisan blog that takes on Republicans. He would be disgusted by the Democrat and what he did, but he wouldn’t write about it here.
@29
It was just a question. Gosh! You don’t have to jump all over me. Remember, there are no dumb questions. Have a nice day.
(and no, I certainly don’t put you in that category, you and I have had some good discussions already).
It’s all in fun . . .
@30,
Wow. I’m actually impressed by your honest answer. And I think you are exactly correct, by the way.
The link is n.f.g.
I searched for “Grampy” and “McGeritol” and nothing surfaced.
Here’s a Republican recently convicted of 73 counts of possession of child pornography, 45 counts of sexual assault in the first degree for allegedly having sex with a child under age 11, nine counts of use of obscene matter with intent to seduce a minor, seven counts of display of obscene matter to a minor and two counts of employing a minor to do sexually explicit conduct.
http://www.times-news.com/loca.....00823.html
I’m sure Marvin will share with us his outrage that yet another Republican pedophile has been busted.
Mr. Cynical,
“The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows Barack Obama attracting 44% of the vote while and John McCain earns 43%. When “leaners” are included, it’s Obama 47% and McCain 46%. With leaners, the candidates have been within one point of each other for seven straight days.”
Of course there were four national polls released today:
But other than that you Wingnuts seem to jealously focus on “celebrity,” why all the focus on national polls? The election is won or lost via the electoral votes, not popular vote. Almost every analysis of state head-to-head polls (including, but certainly not limited to, my own) gives Obama a pretty big lead in Electors at this point.
Pretty bitter that you couldn’t make it in the music business.
You would have a better argument if you compared my blogging skills, which put zero $$ in my pocket compared to you that is making a living off your blog. I would be forced to run to my blog in order to win that argument.
Because when it comes to music, I’m making a nice living doing what I wanted. Sorry that pisses you off so much. Hhmm, not really, I’m not sorry. Get over it.
@37 Fucking idiot. Show some morality and share with us your outrage over rampant Republican pedophilia (all in CAPS, please).
Hmmm…some of the blather in this thread suggests an awareness of a recognition of an essential difference between the “traditional” new media and blogs. Specifically, bloggers feel no particular obligation to maintain even a thin pretense of objectivity. Meanwhile, the dead-tree and tower-on-the-hill media remain burdened with continuing the charade.
This raises the question: When was the last time anybody really tried the “real thing”? Does any of you recall an article in print or a broadcast report that most Americans, across the demographic and political spectrum, would regard as credibly accurate and bereft of bias?
But other than that you Wingnuts seem to jealously focus on “celebrity,” why all the focus on national polls?
——————-
Because the question may be about popular sentiment, not electoral votes. And in the case of the former McCain is much closer to Obama despite all that Obama should have going for him. That’s a topic of substantial interest and discussion.
“Pretty bitter that you couldn’t make it in the music business.”
Nope…I’m pretty damn happy with my vocation.
“You would have a better argument if you compared my blogging skills, which put zero $$ in my pocket compared to you that is making a living off your blog.”
What the hell are you babbling about? Oh…once again, you don’t know what the fuck you are talking about.
“I would be forced to run to my blog in order to win that argument.”
Win what argument?
“Because when it comes to music, I’m making a nice living doing what I wanted.”
I hear delivering pianos is hard on the back, though. (*snicker*)
“Sorry that pisses you off so much. Hhmm, not really, I’m not sorry. Get over it.”
Actually, I find it doubly amusing that you claim to “make a living in the music business” but you insisted on making a stupid-ass and amateurish statement about the blues!

@42 Amazing. He pretty much jumps whenever you tell him to jump.
@41 “amateurish statement about the blues!”
Blues-guy here. I wish I had caught that one. Was it recent?
mactac @ 40,
“Because the question may be about popular sentiment, not electoral votes.”
Suit yourself. I’m far more interested in who our next president will be.
“And in the case of the former McCain is much closer to Obama despite all that Obama should have going for him.”
Given that the best political minds on both sides are focusing 100% of their energy and spending millions of dollars on gaining the slightest edge, it is hardly surprising that McCain is only lagging by a few points.
“That’s a topic of substantial interest and discussion.”
I don’t know. It is interesting in how it relates to who is likely to become the next president. Otherwise, it is no more interesting than a popularity contest between, say, John Kerry and Rick Santorum. Or Liz Dole and Hillary Clinton.
Darryl, I’m going to try to come up with one. Okay, here goes….
Ya think they would give me points for that?
Steve @ 44,
The exchange was in this comment thread.
Here’s my suggestion:

Tlazolteotl,
“Ya think they would give me points for that?”
I think it depends on what judge you get: the white male…or a really, really, old white male.
If the latter, you just might get a McCain–autographed bottle of Metamucil.
What? No money?! Who the hell wants a fucking bus ride? I mean, c’mon … no wonder he’s losing.
@47 I see. So Marvin is stuck in the I, IV, V, 12-bar blues progression. Probably stuck in the pentatonic blues scale as well. I was happy to see that you thrashed him pretty good over that one.
27 Cyn
The CNN “poll of polls” shows Barack Obama with a lead over John McCain that averages five percentage points. And for some strange reason they call this “squeaking by.”
Of course, the state-by-state numbers show Barack Obama easily exceeding 270 electoral votes for the election, squeak or no squeak. The counts are around 298-240 and 309-229.
Call it a squeak if you like; it looks like a comfortable win to me.
31 T
Yes, he does have to jump all over you.
I’ll bet Floyd Brown doesn’t work for bus rides.
@52 The squeak that wins roars.
“And in the case of the former McCain is much closer to Obama despite all that Obama should have going for him.”

———————
Which is no doubt why media story after story has focused on the question of why Obama isn’t leading by more despite Iraq and the economy. I think the underlying story is more complicated and reflects hesitation about Obama. That’s revealed in Rasmussen data from August 2:
http://www.rasmussenreports.co.....he_numbers
In the table labeled “McCain-Obama: Trust on Issues” 14 issues are listed. In 10 out of the 14 McCain is given the nod. In 4 out of 14, Obama. On Iraq McCain is trusted more by a 51 vs 39 percent margin.
This data will change of course, and there are other polls as well. There are a lot of people focused on these trends, including me.
Incidentally, I’m a (reserved) Obama supporter.
Here’s my suggestion:
“We are building a fighting force of extraordinary magnitude. We forge our spirits in the same tradition as our ancestors. John McCain is a magnificent leader. He has our gratitude. Let’s all give John McCain a great big hand!”
Well, I’ve been trying to think of something I could say about John McCain which would still get me qualified for his payment plan, and wouldn’t be fundamentally dishonest.
The best I could come up with was “McCain isn’t any worst than any other Republican who was seeking the Presidency this election, and better than a few of the other Republicans”.
That’s pretty much as far as I’m willing to go.

Yeah, “popular sentiment” is all you guys have these days. Can we get back to you on that? We’re kinda busy these days winning elections across the country.
39 AF
Nope. The Republicans have pretty well poisoned that well (having spent four decades trying to establish in the public mind that facts don’t exist, only partisan spin).
But realy, we are in a fractured age of specialization and special interest where there isn’t anything that cuts across “most Americans.”
Maybe all the people who lost their life savings in McCain’s S&L scandal (see Keating 5) could do this so they could make up for some of their losses?
4 democrats and 1 rep (mcsame) and you blame it on mcsame.
What happened, was mcsame found guilty? Any actions taken against him?
Those are the questions liberals run away from.
I am going to say kind things in my spammed comment, but I really need to work ‘T-Rex Arms’ into it without appearing to be callous — you know CALLOUS — like calling a thirteen year-old girl ugly.
How’s This: “I will never forget the bravery of Captain McCain as he waved gamely to the camera with his stubby, pain-wracked T-Rex arms.”
Well, I hope the bikers in Sturgis enjoyed Cindy’s tits and her attempts in the hotdog eating competition. That’s the kind of klassy stuff that happens when you have a candidate of the calibre of John Winchester McCain!
Hi Darryl,
With respect to your kind blog entry today, I just wanted to say that
There are serious issues at stake in this election, and serious differences between the candidates. And we will argue about them, as we should. But it should remain an argument among friends; each of us struggling to hear our conscience, and heed its demands; each of us, despite our differences, united in our great cause, and respectful of the goodness in each other. Read More…
Thank you very much.

Uh, it’s kinda, well, normal. Obama is an extremely popular, well-spoken and charismatic, but much less-well-known, candidate. He’s not making mistakes and his positions are solidly popular mainstream. But because he’s the relative unnkown in the race, undecideds are slow to make up their minds for him.
But dude, it’s August.
[a] Undecideds have plenty of time, and he’s got the convention to go, a VP pick to go, and a pile more money than McSnooze.
[b] This election reminds me of 1980, when a realtively unpopular representative of the incumbent party ran evenly with the much less known opposition party representative, but in the end citizens voted for the positive message, photogenia, and new ideas of the challenger and rejected the tired old representative of a party whose ideas had temporarily run out of steam.
Maybe I’m losing you: McCain is Carter and Obama is Reagan. It’s morning in America, and Darth McCain will shrivel and wilt in its clear bright light.
Obviously Americans are smarter than the posters here.
After all, how can you trust someone that has to track towards the middle in order to win an election.
Just the fact he has to change his position moving to the right is proof obamas views are accepted by mainstream america.
@63 ‘T-Rex Arms’
When I see him talking and waving his arms I’m somehow reminded of Godzilla destroying Tokyo.

I saw one of those competitions once. The biker drove the bike and the girl stood on the rear pegs and attempted to bite a piece off of a hot dog hanging from a string when the bike drove under it. It wasn’t at Sturgis, though. My then-band played a local biker party.
I’m guesing that the bulk of the entertainment value was “See? She’s, you know, biting a hot dog.” It was a thrill.
Less well known??
As he has since January, this week, Barack Obama enjoyed much more visibility as far as the public was concerned than did John McCain. By a margin of 76% to 11% respondents in Pew’s weekly News Interest Index survey named Obama over McCain as the candidate they have heard the most about in recent days. But the same poll also shows that the Democratic candidate’s media dominance may not be working in his favor. Close to half (48%) of Pew’s interviewees went on to say that they have been hearing too much about Obama lately. And by a slight, but statistically significant margin – 22% to 16% – people say that recently they have a less rather than more favorable view of the putative Democratic nominee.
If he’s less well known with the well acknowledged media advantage, that means he keeps changing his opinions so much who really knows what he stands for.
Remember, keep working on those election night excuses. And please, something new. That old “stole the election” is so 2001.
@69 “That old “stole the election” is so 2001.”
Republicans want to “re-elect” Dino Rossi. Yeah, that’s so old.
66 MS
True. So when John McCain tells us that he wants to support alternative fuels, we shouldn’t trust him?
And should we trust him when he says he’ll raise taxes to make Social Security “solvent,” or when he tells us he won’t? Should we trust John McCain when he opposes the GI bill or when he takes credit for its passage?
And should we trust him when he opposes drilling off the America coast (2000 election), or when he favors it (now)? When he opposes the Bush tax cuts (2002-2003) or when he supports them (now)? When he supported the Law of the Sea Convention (1995-2003), or now that he opposes it? When he opposed ethanol subsidies, or when he supported them (that was in Iowa in the 2008 primaries–I have no idea what today’s position on ethanol subsidies is for John McCain)? When he co-sponsored the DREAM Act (that would grant legal status to illegal immigrants’ kids who graduate from high school), or now that he opposes it?
Heck, I don’t know whether to trust him or not, because he’ll change his positions at the drop of a dollar.
69 MS
MS, you ignorant slut.
Yes, Obama is less-well-known than a Senator who has served since Reagan wore knee pants.
69 MS
Solid reporting. You must have been a whiz in debate class.
And of course there’s the bipartisan energy plan for which Obama is expressing some support but John McCain opposes because it might raise taxes on
his big campaign donors“important American job producers”–the oil companies.Hey, did you all hear about the interrogation room(s) beneath the White House? And here you thought there was NOTHING beneath this White House.
Wait until they find Dick Cheney’s rape rooms.
@62
Was raised in AZ and saw many in community lose their savings, so regardless of party affiliation none of the K5 will ever get off scott free in my opinion(as did McCain). None of the the other four are running for President either.
P.S. Keep your anti-liberal blather to yourself.
Maybe I’m losing you: McCain is Carter and Obama is Reagan. It’s morning in America, and Darth McCain will shrivel and wilt in its clear bright light.

Hey, as long as I have you here, somebody said you’re a tech writer at Microsoft. True? I’m curious what you think of Microsoft’s “Mojave Experiment”:
http://www.mojaveexperiment.com/?WT.srch=1
You have views on lots of things, so I’m curious.
Typical bait & switch. Page 37 out of the karl rove playbook.
How bad are things at microsoft when they have to base a campaign around the core assumption that everyone thinks their product sucks.
Debate class? I dropped out of high school. I have a talent, don’t need no skooling.
How bad are things at microsoft when they have to base a campaign around the core assumption that everyone thinks their product sucks.
Here’s more on the “experiment”:
http://www.informationweek.com.....=209800457
So, the subjects were shown a video of Vista “in action.” Of course, that’s night and day from actually having to use it.
In any event, any thoughts, Daddy Love?
The fact they showed a video instead of letting people try it is the proof it sucks.
Here’s an interesting “progressive” link, a few years old.
If you’ve doubted whether Microsoft is a monopoly that needs to be broken up, consider this previously unreported fact: Microsoft’s after-tax return on invested capital, the best measure of a firm’s profitability, was a stunning 88 percent last year. This means Microsoft was 13 times more profitable than other major U.S. corporations.
I’m sure if microsoft was funding the reps there would be a lot of hate for them. Thankfully, they donate to the dems so it’s all good they have a higher profit margin than exxon. Lots of money is only bad when it’s a rep making it.
@81
I’m sure if microsoft was funding the reps there would be a lot of hate for them.
When I was working for Microsoft in 2000, our project VP openly encouraged everyone to vote for Bush. Microsoft was very pro-Republican in response to the Clinton Justice Department.
I get the feeling that the people running his campaign are as clueless about technology as he is. Nobody who uses the internet on a regular bais would suggest that supporters become trolls on the blogs. Sad, really.
Daily Kos put up a tongue-in-cheek diary welcoming the McSame Trolls. Now I know why.
When I was working for Microsoft in 2000, our project VP openly encouraged everyone to vote for Bush. Microsoft was very pro-Republican in response to the Clinton Justice Department.
It’s been highlighted here previously that Microsoft’s PAC has been a major contributor to Republican candidates, including for 2008. See, for example, http://www.opensecrets.org.
I know some people go as far as calling Republicans war criminals, so I’m curious how they view organizations like MSFT, who have been big backers of the party and its candidates.
Any thoughts on that, Daddy?
John McCain is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life.
A vote for Obama is the same as a vote for Carter…if you want interest in the double digits as well as unemployment at 12% vote for this clown that has no real track record. As I recall jimmy was much the same, nice speech great smile but no action… no I am wrong he gave the Panama Canal that we built with our tax dollars away… I guess Amy was his adviser on this. We dont need Jimmy JR
86 – Is this the same Cheesy Chuck from Fife who brought us Jared Taylor’s white supremacist take on the Superdome and Katrina?
I wonder.
TYE@87 Never been there, dont know Jared Taylor have no idea what you are talking about. Possibly you should drink less liberally.
By the way I live in Roy.
Is #86 new here? (hint)
But I have been called Cheesy Chucky
If only Obama had a resume to run on…….he would have had a chance against a 71 year old man. Goldy and his barn animals will find out in November what rejection is yet again…….3 in a row.
Sending the Chitown Assclown and his militant ‘hoodrat back to the Chicago Cesspool they crawled out of will be quite a joyous occasion for America in general and the GOP in particular.
It will be memorable indeed, Darryl.
Whenever I hear someone say John McCain I get goosebumps. The man is a true American Hero. He is for drilling more gasoline. Why would we vote for someone who doesn’t want to drill for the gasoline? Seriously, we all still have gas cars!
Anyway, I urge everyone to vote for President Mccain. He’s the kind of guy – not only who I’d like to have a beer with – but he’s someone who I’d love to call a father (or even grandfather not to insinuate he’s old). He’s a true family man and regular guy. He even reminds me of some of my neighbors.
If you own a car, vote for President McCain. Its that simple.

Actually I think he destroyed Obama’s teleprompter. He threw that down faster than Obama’s poll numbers.
pssssssssssssst Don’t worry I am not pissing, I am just inflating my tires. ahahahahahahahahaahhahaahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Funny how that flip-flopping traitor McSame was against the idea of tire gauges and properly inflated tires – until he was for it.
By the way – he’s STILL getting beat like a red-headed step child in all the non-rightwing polls.

Liberal run screwls are a disaster from top to bottom. You can flush public school money down a toilet and it would still be better spent then what we have now. Only a liberal can create free public education at 10k plus a year (per pupil) and yet have over 40% of parents pass it up. Vouchers are our only hope.

@98 “…Will someone please explain why the Jr. Senator from Illinois … is against school voucher’s for other Americans to send their children to better schools”
I’ll be happy to. Because giving tax money to private entities run by entrepreneurs instead of elected school boards with no accountability for how the funds are spent, what the children are taught, or whether they learn makes no damn sense at all.
@86 “if you want interest in the double digits as well as unemployment at 12% vote”
Carter inherited that from his 2 G.O.P. Party predecessors, Nixon and Ford, and in fact this is pretty much what you get with any Republican president. Except right now, instead of double-digit interest, we have double-digit inflation.
Public schools are failing kids left and right. I know you’re not that ignorant to think otherwise, so why don’t you care about children. The rich parents send their kids to private school. So it’s only the poor kids that have to suffer in a failing school system.
Have you noticed how home-schooled students are winning spelling bees all over the place?
Last school year, 2,483 students were homeschooled in Miami-Dade County and 2,923 in Broward, according to the Florida Department of Education. Like Cameron White, some home-schooled high school students supplemented their home instruction with advanced or dual enrollment courses at local colleges, such as Florida International University and Miami Dade College. The experience, they say, helped ease their transition into college.
”My mom taught me how to teach myself, so when I went to college, I knew how to do that and not depend on others,” says White, who also took college classes at Miami Dade College under a dual enrollment program starting his sophomore year of high school.
“Not depend on others.” You know she won’t be voting for the democrats, she can do for herself.
If vouchers aren’t the solution, what is. More taxpayer money?

You claim it, but you’re not proving it.
Are you trying to claim that private schools are better than public schools, and that the proof of this is that homeschooled students do well in spelling bees?
First, yep, high school. You wouldn’t win any points in debate.
Second, my own opinion is that conservatives are financing and grooming certain homeschooled children in order to “prove” by anecdote that “public schools are failing.”
It seems to me than an attempt to prove that public schools are failing would have to include peer-reviewed studies of directly comparable populations (that is, with special-needs and/or ESL students properly controlled for) that then use hard measures to establish
[a] that some other alternative is measurably and consistently better, and
[b] that this alternative represents a cost-effective and feasible solution for the millions and millions of children in public school.
For example, if you propose that some solution is superior to public schools, establish it with some statistically sound study, but the whole thing would collapse if 50 million children nationwide attempted to use it, you’ve failed.

Avoiding the question. Some people on HA have labeled Republicans war criminals. I’m curious what your view of Microsoft – a big contributor to the Republican party and candidates (including Reichert!) over the years – is? I have a friend who left the company because he felt strongly about this (though with his skills he had many options). He walked his talk, as he likes to say.
Again, what are you thoughts?
Yup, one big conspiracy to educate kids. You don’t see many parents wearing tin-foil hats as their kids are stuck in a government school.
If public schools are so great, why do so many parents that can afford it send their kids to private schools. Including teachers and politicians, the same people that refuse the less fortunate to have a choice.
Back in the old days, 34 years ago, how many of your fellow students didn’t graduate on time. Don’t use your old school experience to cloud your thinking of the present situation.
I could spend all day giving you links about the school system failing. Why don’t you google it and learn something for yourself instead of following the dailykos talking points. No surprise you are sticking up for a big supporter ($$) of the democrats. Go figure.
If kids are not being educated the school system is failing. Google it.
Daddy love is like bush so far as neither like to answer tough questions.

Did you notice, the school system is not what it was 20 years ago. Meaning, when you were in school it was working. Today, it’s not.
And let’s get real for a second… It’s not the rich white kids getting screwed over, they are in private school.

Daddy is VERY familiar with people at Microsoft who label Republicans war criminals. That’s pretty strong language in my view. However, what’s REALLY hard to fathom is how someone could work at Microsoft knowing full well the company is a big financial contributor to a group they consider to be war criminals.
My friend left the company on principle, which I admired (though I didn’t completely agree with his political thinking). Other people, when the rubber hits the road, will keep the big pay check and instead assuage their conscience by making small political contributions instead. It’s less painful.
117 MS
There you go again. One or two well-financed and well-coached spellers coming from the home school ranks does not prove that homeshooling better educates kids. Also, home schooling is nice as an alternative but there is no way it can be used to educate all of America’s kids.
And that certainly does not establish anything at all about the private schools that for some reason you do not reveal you seem to love.
And you really shoudl read carefully adn repeat it to yourself. perhaps you will understand better. I am not saying public schools are good, bad, or anything. I’m asking you to make an effort to prove what you claim.
Because tou can usually buy a higher quality product when you have more-than-average money to purchase it. But if it were left to every parent’s own devices many children would not be educated at all, which would be very bad fo our society.
Of course you had to throw in the pejoration. Public school is what OFFERS a choice to people who can’t afford private school. Duh.
That’s not an absolute rate, but there’s no doubt that many urban school districts, particularly ones with high immigrant/ESL student populations, are challenged. Detroit and Cleveland are former industial cities with large minority populatiosn but a declined economic base. These things are not surprising. We need to invest in our schols and revamp school financing to eliminate disparities between rich districts and poor ones
How does this mean anything? Did you think running schools is something that can be done for free? Yes, it costs money to run a school. Duh.

I knwo that our position in teh world has been slipping since the disastrous policies of Reagan/Bush/Bush. We were improving for a while under CLinton, and probably will under Obama, but here’s a point to ponder:
America is going broke. We cannot sustain our habit of consuming a quarter of the world’s resources just so we can live like we’re richer than we are. Our standard of living is declining and has been since about the high point you quote, and will continue to decline pretty steadily over the next few decades at least. Along the way, a lot of stuff is going to get a lot worse until we fgure out how to do it differently. Schools are certainly part of this.
@111
Marvin,
Homeschooled kids win spelling bees because a homeschooled kid can spend half his day practicing for it while kids in both public and private schools are actually learning a variety of subjects.
Homeschooling can be either very good or very bad, depending on how much effort the parents put into it. Those kids in Houston who dug up a grave and made a human skull into a bong were homeschooled too – just like the spelling bee winners.
As for private vs. public school, the biggest difference is that private schools aren’t superior because of money, but because they have students whose parents are involved. Public schools have to deal with the students whose parents don’t give a shit. When public schools start failing, it isn’t some deep truth about the nature of public schools as much as it’s a reflection of the failures in society overall.
Then again, your idiocy is also a good reflection of the failures in our society overall.
Jump, Marvin, jump!
98, 111: Obama pays his taxes, which support the public education system. If he want’s to spend more money to send his kids to a private school, then that’s his personal business.
Actually, I doubt you will find many Congressmen (Senators or Representatives) with families who do send their kids to public schools, simply because public schools are not set up to handle the security risk which comes along with a high-profile student. If you haven’t noticed, the families of politicians would make great hostages for terrorists.
As for school vouchers, that’s an old, lame, game still being advanced by the Republican Party. The Republicans have been against a good education for the masses for generations, preferring that they remain suitably ignorant and therefore more ameniable to their propoganda. Towards that end, they have always sought to de-fund the public education system, and when oversized classes have their predictable result, they then argue that the public school system “is broken”, and should be thrown away.
I saw an example of what can happen in a rural area of Alabama in the 1970’s and 1980’s. I know this area, because some of my relatives live there, not too far from where my mother grew up. When desegregation in the 1960’s, and bussing in the 1970’s broke down the barriers in the public school system, it was replaced by a a new dual system of education – public schools became virtually all-black, and new private schools were built which were all-white.
It’s also not surprising that once this dual system was established, the white parents pushed very hard to get school vouchers so that they could use tax money to fund their private schools. Failing that, they simply de-funded the public school system, rejecting every tax increase or levy which would fund the public school system. The end result, of course, was a gradual decline of public schools due to lack of funding, with the predictable results.
And have parents that are too tired from working, from being working poor, to then be involved in school.

This is the third time in the last four months that McCain’s support has been at 47% or 48%. The one exception came in early June—McCain’s support dipped as Obama was wrapping up the Democratic Presidential nomination.
Obama has been in the 41% to 43% range for four straight months.

@144. Hey Marvin, I’m told you don’t even live in the state anymore. When you move back, then you can comment on the way we do things.
Jump, Marvin, jump!
Just piping on on Marvin’s brain farts on homeschooling vs public schooling.
First, I’ll restate and build on what Lee has said above. The advantage that private schools have is largely one of exclusivity. Children in private school come from involved families, and children who do not want to be in the school are generally asked to leave. Public schools do not have as much leeway in expelling students.
To continue on this, most public schools do an extremely good job of educating kids. The public schools in the suburbs ringing Seattle (and * gasp! * even a few Seattle schools) are academically successful and highly sought-after by parents. Other urban schools, predominantly filled with poor children of unwhite background have real problems. These failing schools bring the averages down when you take large sets like “the entire United States”.
Finally, since Marvin thinks that homeschooling is the shizznit, riddle me this.
The State of Washington keeps test results for the WASL on every school that receives public money in Washington State.
Here’s a spiffy web page where you can search on various values:
http://reportcard.ospi.k12.wa......orgLinkId=
(Push the Search button at the top)
Search on number of students receiving free and reduced price meals, and put in a criteria of 0-20%. This will get you a list of some of the most affluent public schools in the state.
Now, here’s the part that’s got me curious. Mixed in with these are a series of “homeschool coordination centers” of various sorts. Every school district has one. They have different names, but their job is to provide resources to home schooled children in that catchment area.
If you compare their test scores with state averages, they’re generally OK, or a little above average.
If you compare them with their socioeconomic peers, their test pass rate is often 15-20% BELOW that of comparable public school students.
Why is that? What’s happening here?
It’s an open question. I would really like to know if there’s a factor I’m not aware of which is creating such a large anomaly. Are families who are struggling with homeschooling being directed to these programs? Do homeschool parents just not give a fig about standardized tests? I don’t know.
Any insight that you can give would be appreciated.
149 jsa
Well, one “insight” I can give you is that there is a cadre of homsechooled students who are cherry-picked and drilled for success in spelling bees so they can be showhorses for the homeschool movement.
As for lower scores for homeshooled students, I’d say it’s what happens when amateurs attempt to do the work of professionals.

I couldn’t agree more, whether it’s Microsoft or Boeing or any other big corporate entity.
Well, one “insight” I can give you is that there is a cadre of homsechooled students who are cherry-picked and drilled for success in spelling bees so they can be showhorses for the homeschool movement.
I find the idea of anyone’s children being used as showhorses to be disturbing.
I bring up my statistics anomaly to illustrate a larger point. It is frequently repeated that home-schooled children do better academically than publicly schooled children. In the fine tradition of lies, damn lies, and statistics, this is true if you compare the set of all publicly schooled children vs the set of all home-schooled children. However, this is not a fair comparison set, since it overlooks that home-schooled children, as a group, come from a pretty economically fortunate set, namely the middle to upper-middle class.
While parents will forgo an extra 2 rooms on the house, a boat, trips to Europe, etc. for one parent to remove themselves from the workforce to educate their kids, generally parents will not go on food stamps in order to accomplish the same goal.
When home-schooled children are compared not against the set of “all students” but against their middle and upper-middle class peers, the “advantages” of home-schooling don’t seem to be so clear.
This also brings up a larger point that I sort of touched on in the last message, but didn’t spell out. The United States does not have a problem educating suburban, middle-class kids in public school. If their scores are compared with their counterparts in Finland, Taiwan, Singapore, etc. they do quite well, thank you.
The US has a problem educating the bottom 20-30% of the socioeconomic scale. This is a real problem. There are poor children in other countries too. Poor Canadian kids and poor Taiwanese kids do better on international tests than poor American children do.
Marvin has a problem in that he’s in Los Angeles, which is about as fucked-up a place for education as you can possibly imagine. Decent middle-class LA parents would NEVER send their children to public school. Like a frog at the bottom of the well, Marvin thinks that the rest of the US is as FUBAR as LA is, and forms his opinions accordingly.
