OH NO! She works for the RNC, let’s fire here for being politically active instead of being a whiney stay at home mom who most likely knows nothing about politics other then "OH MY GOSH! Bush = teh Evil!!!"

Actually, it says she skipped a school meeting to work at the RNC. I have no idea how important the meeting was, or whether or not it was mandatory, but that seemed to be the implied complaint. (Of course, were she working the DNC, I'm guessing we'd see some screed here about her dereliction of taxpayer funded duty, but that's just speculation).
She may be innocent, and the charges bogus, but there is also the possibility that she's using her position as teacher as a partisan bully pulpit. A lot of this is hearsay right now, so maybe we should wait before we start assuming about conspiracy theories-- on both sides.

Bush that makes the left look so wacky. Some people just act like Bush strangled their dog with his bare hands in their back yard one night, this irrational hatred is ridiculous, whether or not you like the man he is president and is to be given the respect that his office holds.

Besides kids in America are dumb as a sack of hammers when it comes to politics, we need more teachers like this. I can't count how many times I have run into people who have no idea what the heck is going on with this country, who the VP is, what Bush looks like, who’s that guy...the black one...Sec. of something....?
Oh well another disgusting episode in the never ending crusade against the "evil" Bush. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd--> Well I certainly don't hate the man and do respect him.
If anything I'm annoyed that he is surrounded by people who think killing is always the solution and the federal government being in debt is A ok. Poor guy. Stop giving him advice damnit. He's a nice guy if all you you would just leave him alone.
You <i>will </i>respect your commander and chief and I would absolutely follow his orders.
However, I also do have a right to diagree with his decisions, do I not? And (at least for me) that has nothing to do with me not respecting the guy. I respect him but I disagree with his choices. Does that make sense?
