[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody wanted to vote for Monash or Goulet. That was a mistake. DC needs Republicans on the council to counterbalance things.[/quote]

Oh yeah, republicans will save us by changing our schools to all charter programs, defunding the regular ones, and getting rid of housing vouchers.  Jesus.[/quote]

DC-based Republicans are a different breed and will be moderate. They have to be by virtue of their constituency. Frumin got elected because of the attitude above -- this blanket rejection of anyone other than a Democrat. You have to vote in Republicans and Independents at this level or else you are going to end up like San Francisco and Portland. [/quote]

Public charters have been a boon to cities like DC and New Orleans, you know, with large minority populations who want options for their children. They're not perfect, but neither are regular public schools. As for housing vouchers, they [i]should be[/i] frozen until there is more oversight. The program is a complete mess, and has been in violation of the law at times. You should get out and about, get informed. I'd take a DC Republican anyday over a reflex progressive with tired talking points.[/quote]
