Comparing George Bush and Al Gore
George Bush has seven principles of reform, only four of which I will elaborate on, for a better quality education in our nation’s schools: (1) Achieve Equality; Just as Bush is closing the achievement gap in Texas, he plans to do so across the states (2) Promote Excellence; Bush believes in clearly defined standards of basic skills plus crucial knowledge. The states should devise tests to ensure that the standards are met (3) Ensure that Every Child Can Read; Statistics show that 70% of 4th graders in low income schools cannot read. Bush stands firm that reading is the pathway to learning and will make sure that every child can read by 3rd grade (4) Improve School Safety; Juvenile gun laws will be

I think that the only things that our schools need are (1) Recognizing advanced students and providing advanced education (2) Providing more money to public schools, especially high schools (3) More advanced technology and provide training in more advanced technological equipment.
ABORTION
In short terms, Bush is against abortion. He believes in pro life with exceptions for rape, incest and life of the mother. He plans to set the goal that all children should be welcomed in life and protected by law. He supports parental notification, banning use of taxpayer funds for abortion, and banning partial birth abortion. He also supports the increasing of adoptions to prevent abortions. He opposes doctor assisted suicide and believes that a doctor’s role is to relieve pain and suffering and cure, not to end life. Gore, on the other hand, is personally against abortion but he is doing nothing to stop it!! In fact, he is supporting it by providing funds for programs that inform patients about abortion services in District of Columbia. Keep it in mind that he is personally against it but also believes that it is a woman’s choice and that he has “stood strong time and time again to defend a woman’s right to choose. He also supports the expansion of Medicaid funds for abortion. I am totally in sync with Bush’s beliefs. I am a Christian and I stand firm of what the Bible says and I think that is what Bush is standing for also. Abortion is wrong morally and for me, it
Gore on the other hand agrees with only a couple of things that Bush stated. He strongly supports accountability; he also supports local control. Bush and Gore agree on both. Gore thinks every teacher should be tested including in the subjects that they teach. He also thinks that 100,000 new teachers should be recruited to reduce class size. The main reason for that is because a man gave him a letter from his daughter. The girl is the 36th student in her class; the picture attached showed that there was no room for one desk so she had to stand. He also wants to make college tax deductible (up to $10,000 a year).
The two “absolute right” positions on abortion are Pro-life with a view the human life starts at conception and Pro-choice having the view that human life does not begin until birth.
Hillary Clinton’s view of abortion differs immensely from that of Donald Trump. She has said that as president, she’ll stand up for Planned Parenthood and women’s access to critical health services, including safe, legal abortion. She believes that “government has no business in the decisions that women make with their families in accordance with their faith and medical advice” (Lafrance). Clinton advocates for partial birth abortion as well as late term abortion in an instance where the pregnancy is threatening the life of the mother. She would like to
Marco Rubio believes that the protection of life is an important value for this society. He believes the Roe v. Wade was morally wrong and should be overturned. Rubio is pro-life and supports many pro-life policies. The Republican Party platform strongly opposes abortion, and fights to defund abortion at the federal level. They support a constitutional amendment which will end abortion entirely. Rubio’s stance on abortion is similar to the Republican Party platform. Both Rubio and the platform are pro-life and both want to stop abortion as they feel it is morally unacceptable. Thus, Rubio’s stance on abortion is basically the same as the GOP platform.
During President Bush’s term, government became aware that American schooling needed major improvement. There was a need of a law which would improve the system while using scores to evaluate students as well as their teachers. "The fundamental principle of this bill is that every child can learn, we expect every child to learn, and you must show us whether or not every child is learning," (Secretary, 2002) President George W. Bush said on Jan. 8, 2002, signing ceremony of No Child Left Behind Act. However, this one size fits all approach revealed not be resourceful. "The goals of No Child Left Behind, the predecessor of this law, were the right ones: High standards. Accountability. Closing the achievement gap, but in practice, it often fell short. It didn 't always consider the specific needs of each community. It led to too much testing during classroom time. It often forced schools and school districts into
The Republican party’s 2010 Texas State Political Party Platform says in short that the republicans support the human life amendment to the constitution. The democratic party’s 2010 Texas State Political Party Platform states that they believe in and support the freedom from government interference in private lives and personal decisions. There are many reasons why I support the Republican party’s 2010 platform on the issue of abortion rather than the democratic party’s. My main reason is that life technically begins at conception. The right to call a decision personal goes away when you get pregnant begins that is now another life and no longer solely about one person. Which technically means that it is murder to kill an unborn child. There
A Bush vs. Gore election, a completely unfair and illegitimate political race. Fighting for the final battle in Florida, winner claim to be the next president of the United States. With Bush’s brother to be the governor, every news station and political of Florida Palm Beach County, in Florida, home to many older and possibly more senile people. When voting for the next President, many people have believed to have incorrectly voted and claimed to have voted for someone they didn’t choose to. Gore lost the machine count, however many people were demanding a re-vote since they feel as if their votes were not properly filled out and/ or counted for the wrong candidate. Bush was leading by 15,000, however there was multiple mix ups with the numbers
Presidential elections are almost always controversial, thus, the year 2000 proved that both parties would stop at nothing to win the spot of hierarchy. Through the disruption of votes during George W. Bush and al Gore’s election, there were many indicators that Al Gore, was in fact the real winner. The movie presented in class mentioned that, “The old people in Palm Beach Florida think they voted for Pat Buchanan.” This was the initiation of havoc within the presidential race, as it angered many and led to a recount. Furthermore, Buchanan mentioned that he believed they had mistaken his name for Al Gore, this shows that he was more liked and was more susceptible to winning the popular vote in the
Bush versus Gore in the 2000s election, In the year 2000 there's been a interruption with the electoral college ballets. The real question is who won the 2000’s election, things went toe to toe counting the votes. Most of the votes if not all needed to be recounted in the state of florida because of the strictness of the voting policy, one of the incidents that happen was one of the members of Gore’s party was going house to house to check on unregistered voters, one of the major concerns is that most of the unregistered voters couldn't vote because of discrimination. For an example, one of the people from the list was claimed to be an ex-convent but only to find most people on the list is false report. However one important input to the election
The issue arises in defining what would be considered the start of life. Bush is biased to the Christian ideology of life at contraception which is against the declared medical supported ruling of Supreme Court case Roe vs. Wade. President Bush was elected on a platform that initially seemed to be in support for medical privacy. In April 2001, he said he would protect "the right of every American to have confidence that his or her personal medical records will remain private" (Congressional Record). But, in regards to women's health records he ironically did not support this initial claim. Bush appointed John Ashcroft as his attorney general. Ashcroft "..subpoenaed private medical records of women who have had abortions, and his Justice Department argued in court that the law need not honor doctor-patient confidentiality" (Ruether). Because of the threat of their information being released women would feel discouraged from seeking help for their reproductive health. It seems as medical privacy is a concern for the Bush administration with the exemption of a woman's right to privacy. By exempting woman, Bush establishes his apathy towards upholding women's reproductive health
The 2000 U.S. presidential election Bush vs. Gore case between Governor George W, Bush and U.S. Vice president Al Gore. It begins with the election on November 7 and ends with the supreme court ruling, which stopped the Florida election recount on December
After every four years, American voters elect the president of their choice to lead the government. Voters are expected to turn up in large numbers and exercise their democratic right. Elections in America are critical because they determine how the country will be run and ultimately the future of the nation. It is always an historic moment as the rest of the world waits to see the outcome of the elections. Indeed, America has been known as the free nation where democracy prevails. This year, it is going to be either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. After successfully winning nominations to be flag bearers for their parties, both candidates are doing their best to win the American voters. However, it is surprising that both the two candidates have negative ratings more than any other previous candidates (Page). Both Clinton and Trump have been facing legal controversies that make the American people lose confidence in the whole process. But despite their shortcomings, these year’s presidential elections would be unique where if elected Clinton would be the first female president while Trump the first president who had no previous experience either in the government of the military.
He is pro-life and has been a co- sponsor of bills to limit late-term abortions, including the intact dilation and extraction procedure. He is a member of the American Majority.
“What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away?” President Bush's adamant pro-life stance in accordance with the teachings of his Methodist faith, he believes that life begins at conception. Therefore, he has a track record of opposing all proposals that interfere with life before birth. This also includes most stem-cell research proposals.
