Any that don't line up with his strict, conservative beliefs. I feel we need a republican right now to help fix the economy, but I worry that cruz will spend a lot more time and effort trying to legislate morality, which i'm firmly against. As I mentioned earlier, I can take the good with the bad from both sides in relation to my ideology, but I'm not going to vote for a republican to fix the economy if I'm concerned he'll put social issues ahead of the economy, especially if I can't stand his stance on those social issues.

As a social liberal, I have a hard time voting for someone who comes off as so conservative that they would try and push legislation that I feel would discriminate against certain groups of people. I also have a problem with the shady things he's been pulling to try and sway voters in the primaries, and he reeks of hypocrisy to me after being one of the leaders in the charge to question Obama's citizenship while living almost exactly the same situation. As for his policy and record, it's tough to gauge that, because he's basically done nothing beyond being a good debater or talker (kinda like our current president).

Kinda feels like you don't care what the old administration did as long as they were black. So who's wrong here? As for a couple of your previous posts... My wife has taught at a BISD elementary school for 7 years, and her room has been above capacity EVERY year, including the years before the BOM took over. To address another of your comments, the fact that most of the principals are still in place means that the BOM has kept the principals who DID NOT STEAL OR CHEAT in their places, so I don't think you need to worry about racial discrimination in the administration. I also teach in the district, and my white principal just retired, and is about to be replaced by an African American. My wife's African American principal is retiring at the end of the year, and her replacement is African American. Again, not seeing discrimination there. As for the racial makeup of the board and the superintendent, I could care less, as long as they're not stealing my tax dollars and have the kids' best interest at heart. I wanted nothing more than for Chargois to succeed, but he was just Thomas part 2. So that being said, we now have a super who's doing the right thing with the district, and a BOM that is cleaning house. That needed to be done. I'm really not understanding how with a straight face you can say that changes weren't needed in the first place.

Was going to make this point myself. A very valid point.

Hey, I'm left handed, drive a Toyota Tundra, and have hairy armpits. I'm halfway there. Do I get the job?

As a moderate, I have core values from both sides that I won't change to toe a party line, which is why i refuse to label myself one way or another. That being said, I AM willing to examine the current climate of the country and make concessions one way or another and vote for the candidate that I feel is best for our country. This election, for example, I'm willing to forgoe my liberal beliefs and vote for Rubio because I personally feel he is the best candidate for the job. That being said, if we have a Cruz/Clinton or Trump/Clinton election I'm just going to stay home because I can't bring myself to vote for any of the three without feeling sick to my stomach.

i hope so. biggest small school game of the year every year around here.

i wholeheartedly disagree with this. moderates actually consider the issues and the politician's stances on said issues before making a decision, especially if you include the unaffiliated in this category, which most do now. the far right and far left eat whatever their party feeds them without a second thought. the only reason conservatives don't like moderates is because in the last few election cycles they have not been voting conservative.

i don't think he's going get much credit for that on here. that being said, that's not the case. he's supported them in the past, until he decided he wanted the republican vote. i think it's more likely he'll toe whatever line he thinks he needs to toe in order to get votes, which makes him just like the politicians he criticizes for doing political things.

While not what you intended, this is very accurate, as he is in fact fairly liberal, and has consistently portrayed himself as such up until the point where he decided it would be easier to win the nomination as a republican.

i've been arguing with some of you guys for years about what republicans need to do in order to get back into the white house. many of you guys have insisted that the problem is that your candidates have not been conservative enough, while i've insisted they need to be even more moderate. well, if this doesn't answer that debate for you, i don't know what will. you have the ultra-conservative candidate you've wanted in the race, and he's being routinely beaten by a blowhard mouthpiece who has no experience and no plan. As an aside: For all of the many thousands of jabs you guys have taken at democrats on this site over the years for being low information voters... DONALD TRUMP IS WINNING REPUBLICAN STATE PRIMARIES. I guess those voters exist in large numbers on both sides of the aisle after all.`

not enough of them.

interesting read.

Interesting

Good win!

Well, seeing as someone on here reported he'd played his last game as a hawk, I'll take this as a good sign

Great season for BC

Nice!

A little adversity is good for y'all, even though it'll still end up an easy win. It's been quite awhile since y'all have had any thanks to your district. Good to get at least a mental test before heading into some tougher games

As a result of financial issues that occurred before the BOM was installed. BISD has the support of the president of the TEA.

The commissioner of TEA just released a statement of support for the BISD board of managers. Also, the change of accreditation is a result of financial decencies that occurred before they took over. I'm just curious: do you feel that the growing amount of thieves that are being convicted for stealing millions of dollars from students and taxpayers is a good thing? Or should they have been allowed to continue stealing from the district? Because as far as I can tell, things have changed considerably since the BOM took over, with the biggest change being that high ranking employees are no longer using stolen BISD funds as a source of supplemental income.

Welp. Next?

are they from FB Marshall, or Marshall, Tx? Roster says McKnight is from Marshall, Tx, which would explain how they got such a good player, as etbu is in Marshall. Not that it really matters, I'm just curious

And before last year the last time they had a really good team was when they had the Isom twins back in the early 2000s

I find it hard to believe that a lights out shooter who is a competent ball handler and plays good defense wouldn't be making a meaningful contribution for a D-3 team. I'm not saying he goes and is the best player and takes over some all-conference player's starting spot, but I find it hard to believe he isn't seeing the floor and making some sort of impact. But you know more about basketball on this level than me, and I'm not saying that sarcastically.
