CANDIDATE SUMMARIES Glen Gainer III

     Glen Gainer III was born February 26, 1960. He is an American Politician, and a member of the Democratic party. He graduated with a bachelors degree in political science from the university of Charleston. He worked in the West Virginia state treasury office from 1985 to 1989. He was also the Budget director of West Virginia. So, I am sure he knows a little about West Virginia.

1. Well, it supports it pretty well. A man who could do something like that deserves to be killed.
2. I think so, yes.

Bell Ringer October 28, 2014

1. Most of the laws are very stupid. I do not think they are actually very enforced. I highly doubt a cop would arrest someone for being under 18 and playing a pinball machine. But still, these laws are useless.

Bell Ringer for October 27, 2014

1. Because he was the captain of a ship that sank, which he abandoned and 304 people died. Some of them were school children.
2. I agree. As a Captain, you are responsible for the lives of your passengers.
3. I think the death penalty can be argued as a good, and bad thing. I agree with it just because some criminals are not worth the tax dollars, and their crimes were bad enough, they should be killed.

Presidential Report card

Number of Presidency: 37th
Years in Office: January 20th, 1969- August 9th, 1974

Category
Grade
Comments
Ability to handle and deal with a crisis
B
When Richard Nixon took office, about 300 American soldiers were dying in Vietnam a week. Nixon concluded that the Vietnam war could not be won and that he planned to quickly end the war. He ended up bombing Cambodia, then he sent peace letters personally to the Vietnamese leaders. The fighting continued to 1975, Nixon ended Vietnam.
Ability to work with Congress and Cabinet
A
I am sure that Richard Nixon and congress, and the cabinet had to work together alot, since he came in to office towards the end of one of this countrys most deppressing wars. There is no way he would be able to control that situation on his own, so I am sure that they worked together just fine.
Character and Integrity
A
Richard Nixon is very well known for his intimidating character. He actually tried to intimidate the leaders of Vietnam by using the "Madman Theory". Which, unfortunately did not work at all, so he had to pull the soldiers out in 1975. So his character is also well known for pulling the soldiers out, and ending the vietnam war.
Education
B
Richard Nixon went to Fullererton Union High School. Which is a pretty large high school. He was also granted a tuition to attend one of the greatest high schools ever, Harvard University. But, he wanted to stay in his home town and decided to attend Whittier College. I would have given him an A on education if he would have actually attended Harvard, but he did not.
Empathy


Foreign Policy


Relates to the common man


Persuasiveness
C
He clearly was not the greatest of persuaders, since he was not able to end the Vietnam war with Peace. Although, he did send a hand written Peace treaty to the leaders of the vietkong. I definitely would have given him an A++ if he would have been able to peacfully end the horrible war, but he could not.

Bell Ringer for 10/17/14

The article basically says that it is horrible that nurses have to come in to contact with this disease. The disease is slowly spreading through the country and it needs to be stopped. It says that the country still is just not ready to treat or care for ebola patients.

2. Actually, somewhat. I'm sure that we will find a cure for this eventually, but it seems like we would have been a little more prepared though.

Bell Ringer for 10/13/14

1. No. Anything involving the internet can be hacked into at any time.

Bell Ringer for October 10, 2014

1. Yes, I agree that the woman should be able to take her own life. If she has a legitimate reason, which she definitely does.

2. Suicide is usually for a non-legitimate reason. If someone would rather die painlessly, than die slowly and painfully over time, they should have every right.

3. I would feel horrible, knowing that i was going to die, but I would make the same choice that she is making.

Bell Ringer 10/9/14

1. Clearly, some regions are much more rich than others, since the burger costs $1,768.
2. Of course i would eat the burger. Because, if it is a 17 hundred dollar burger, it can't taste that bad.

1. It seems a little more bias.
2. The first was written yesterday, and the second is backtracking.
3. It's ridiculous.

Bell Ringer for October 3, 2014

1. I do not think it makes any sense that you would have to pay money to live in one of the crappiest towns in America. I could understand if there were some things to do in this town, but there is nothing at all.
2. It doesn't violate any amendment, but it is ridiculous.
3. Most likely, over half of the people in Belington are not going to pay.
