rehmwa 2 #2 March 9, 2006 MOMMMM - john's not sitting on his side of the car (JR - Really, 90% of the other post goes into how neither party really has an edge on the other in the fiscal realm. Is this just a snipe? Maybe your intent is to establish a general discussion on which of the two parties is 'relatively' more fiscally conservative? I'd say the Reps, but that's like comparing having 98 sticks of dynamite blowing up by your nose vs 99 sticks blowing up by your left ear) Plus, don't you just get sick of Kallend posting the same drivel on this subject every time it comes up? ...

JohnRich 4 #4 March 10, 2006 Quote(JR - Really, 90% of the other post goes into how neither party really has an edge on the other in the fiscal realm. Is this just a snipe? Well, just because the other poll about Republicans is heavily weighted negative, I didn't want anyone to presume that it means that the Democrats automatically get the contrary positive votes. As you can see with the votes here, both parties get heavily weighted negative votes. A better poll, would have been to combine both in the first poll, instead of making it sound like a biased partisan snipe. So I had to add an opposite snipe to balance things out and give perspective. Two snipes make a right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rehmwa 2 #11 March 10, 2006 QuoteIn 30+ years in the education business I've discovered that repetition is the only way to understanding for many. funny - most people in the education business learn that in their first set of coursework even before they enter 'the business' did you know that the number of repetitions needed for one to learn something can be nicely (inversely) correlated to IQ? I suspect the number of repetitions needed for one to be 'indoctrinated' in something would be directly correlated to IQ also..... ...
