lara. are you a republican and/or bush supporter?
rjzeller,
I'm saying that what Kelly did was wrong. switching parties in office is a bad move. and yes i'm in high school.
edit- it seems funny that most of the kids in the process of getting EDUCATED are liberals. funny how that works....

Doesn't matter what Lara is, and it shouldn't matter what Kelly is. But let me correct you on a point -- Kelly did not switch parties. He was and still is a Democrat. What he did was endorse Bush for president. We're not talking about a Jim Jeffords here. Kelly simply did what he felt was best for his COUNTRY, not his career. Unprecidented? Maybe. But then again, Norm Coleman DID switch parties while in office and it didn't seem to hurt him at all. Once more the educational establishment shines in the political spectrum.
And I don't find it funny that kids in the process of "getting EDUCATED" are liberals. I've already explained how that works and why, and it's not funny. Teachers don't teach critical thinking in high school (something Lara, at least, has demonstrated frequently on these boards), instead they teach an ideology. If you think about how pays their salaries, and who supports the unions that they benefit from and pay their dues to, it really should be no suprise.
And yet, despite countless years of hearing the same political spin for their entire formative years, 50% of the population still grow up to support conservatism and Republicans. Even after attending predominately liberal universities, where the political rhetoric grows even stronger, people become increasingly conservative as they mature. THAT, I should think, you would find interesting as well...
What Kelly did was think independently -- no partisanship -- something we all claim to respect. And yet, every single time someone goes against the party line, they're made to pay dearly for it.
This is why even the most sensible sounding persons fall sway to the establishment once they get in office. It is abundantly clear that in politics, especially in Minnesota and Washington, courage equals defeat.
St. Paul gets what they deserve. Hopefully this Coleman will turn out to be as good as the last Coleman was, but I have to wonder.
