Politics Rocks Endorsement

Just like in sports, bigtime programs or bigtime head coaching jobs that come open, athletic directors or owners hire experienced, successful, and proven leaders in their respective sport. They understand that their school or program cannot afford to take the big risk of hiring someone without experience and without a proven track record. This man has experience, he has a proven track record. He knows there is a better way to improve public education than resorting to vouchers. In my opinion, if you vote for Rex this Nov. 7th, you won't regret it. It's safe to say that Jim Rex is the Larry Brown, Coach K, and Dean Smith of Education, he's not some towel boy or towel girl from some other sport who doesn't have a clue.

An educator for Superintendent of Education? Get out of town!

What has our State come to having politicians run for political offices in which they have absolutely no background in?

are you kidding me - Jim Rex would just be status quo - come on Politics Rocks --- you must not care about education in SC ---

I hope the 2nd anonymous was joking, (sign your name and back it up). I personally used to help out on the old Karen Kanes Floyd campaign and I'm definitely voting for Rex. He actually has education experience..... what a concept.

Karen Floyd is pure rhetoric - rhetoric may be good for campaign slogans or fooling the fools but I want a Superintendent that can actually be effective in content not just window dressing.

Karen Floyd believes in "more discipline". What are her next 10 words. How will "more discipline" help in counties where unemployment is going up and the available tax dollar base is going down?

Can Ms Floyd be an advocate for the children of Fairfield County just as she will for those living in Tega Cay? I think not and that's why I talk about Jim Rex every chance I can get.

didn't Larry Brown take over a struggling KNicks team? Just like a struggling SC education system. He failed right? Maybe the towel boy would have been a better choice.

You're right, he also failed in 04 when coaching Team USA. Maybe I should have just left it at Coack K and Dean Smith. Especially with what experienced Coach K is doing now with Team USA

Reese don't worry about it. If the Republicans are proud having a Santa Clause ho ho ho representing them in the Education race, let them be proud!

He's an idiot and he can only focus on one thing at a time. That is why he spends so much time on Floyd. Pure stupidity!

Dear anonymous,
I thank and commend you for your courage by posting anonmyously.

I apologize for my stupidity and my usual dillusional thinking. I just don't want to see public education destroyed.....unlike you do.

I want to see someone with teaching and educating experience in the position.......unlike you do.
I want to see someone who isn't trying to ride the backs to fame on our kids.....unlike you do.

I want someone who will actually be running the education dept and not have outsiders run it....unlike you do.

I want someone who has a track record of making good decisions in their life......unlike you do(Hence, how many times has she been engaged, 5 or 6?)

Keep it classy!

Mr. Reese.
Nice try. It was a snappy little comeback. I would have been impressed. However, my original comment was that you were an idiot. I made no mention of education or who was the right man/woman for the job. Once again you continue to proove your lack of common sense or the ability to make a rational argument. Your resding comprehension skills are horrible.
"(Hence, how many times has she been engaged, 5 or 6?)" Hilarious! Grow up, or if that is out of your reach just try and pretend to be grown.
Thanks for your time. I look forward to your response talking about what I do and do not want in a Sup.of Edu. Like I said work on your reading comprehension skills young man.

I never said I wasn't an idiot =) resding comprehension is suppose to be "reading" lol

____________ said...

You're right. My reading comprehension skills must suck because I didn't understand one bit of what you were just talking about. 15 days.....

Keep going Michael, don't let these idiots get to you, don't let them change the subject. You are right on with your support for Jim Rex. Karen Floyd will only let the barbarians in through the back door.

These anonymous snipers are cowards.
