[Truth Addict]

Mike Thomas is one of the few liberal columnists that has the ability to cast aside partisan politics and give credit to a Republican governor when he takes actions that produce results that actually help minorities and the poor instead of just pandering to them.

He has been on Jeb's bandwagon for a while now, and I can only hope that he has helped some of his readers turn from the dark side and give credit where credit is due: it is our governor's policies and the teachers who have implemented them that have produced these excellent results, not the unions and the bureaucrats.

and give credit to a Republican governor

Yes, I must admit, I am now a bigger fan of Mike Thomas simply because I see he is willing to be fair. He still writes columns criticizing Gov Bush on various matters, but whenever the topic turns to education, I notice Mike comes out swinging in defense of Gov Bush.

And, it really saddens me that some people are so partisian in this state that they can not celebrate the very real achievements of this GOP governor -- and these FL students.

Thanks for your thoughtful comments, Truth Addict. BTW, I meant to write you back on the other thread as well, but I was so tired! :)
