We just had an election at our school and the major theme would make the Democrats proud.
It is all about fun. The big promise of everyone was that if they were elected they would make this a fun year. One candidate for sixth grade representative promised field trips to Florida and Hawaii. It reminded me of the election of 2008 where the winning slogan was “Hope and Change.”
The children are being prepared. I didn’t really expect them to come up with a speech on health care or the federal deficit. I did hope for something a little more concrete than “fun dances.”
I need to remember that most of their parents voted for Barak Obama, twice. Some might have even voted more than twice. I need to also remember that the school leaders seem to think that the main goal of the year is to have fun.
I guess we need to remember that Winston Churchill was kicked out by the people of England as soon as the war was won. I guess he wasn’t enough fun.

Are you kidding me? I ran as an Independant.
ReplyDeleteVincent,
DeleteMost Independents side with one major party on most issues. If you check congress I think you will find that the few independent members we have vote in lock step with the Democrats. The guy who was running in Kansas as an "independent" had previously run as a Democrat. I am not saying it never goes the other way but in current politics it tends to lean left.
Grace and peace.
