Still confused?

Subject: I'm confused


Thus was passed me, but I can't understand it. Maybe you can,

I'm trying to get all this political stuff straightened out in my head
so I'll know how to vote come November. Right now, we have one guy saying
one thing. Then the other guy says something else. Who to believe. Lemme
see; have I got this straight?

Clinton awards Halliburton no-bid contract in Yugoslavia - good...
Bush awards Halliburton no-bid contract in Iraq - bad...

Clinton spends 77 billion on war in Serbia - good...
Bush spends 87 billion in Iraq - bad...

Clinton imposes regime change in Serbia - good...
Bush imposes regime change in Iraq - bad...

Clinton bombs Christian Serbs on behalf of Muslim Albanian terrorists- good...
Bush liberates 25 million from a genocidal dictator - bad...

Clinton bombs Chinese embassy - good...
Bush bombs terrorist camps - bad..

Clinton commits felonies while in office - good...
Bush lands on aircraft carrier in jumpsuit - bad...

No mass graves found in Serbia - good...
No WMD found Iraq - bad...

Stock market crashes in 2000 under Clinton - good...
Economy on upswing under Bush - bad...

Clinton refuses to take custody of Bin Laden - good...
World Trade Centers fall under Bush - bad...

Clinton says Saddam has nukes - good...
Bush says Saddam has nukes - bad...

Clinton calls for regime change in Iraq - good...
Bush imposes regime change in Iraq - bad...

Terrorist training in Afghanistan under Clinton - good...
Bush destroys training camps in Afghanistan - bad...

Milosevic not yet convicted - good...
Saddam turned over for trial - bad...

Ahh, it's so confusing!

Every year an independent tax watchdog group analyzes the average tax burden
on Americans, and then calculates the "Tax Freedom Day". This is the day
after which the money you earn goes to you, not the government This year, tax
freedom day was April 11th. That's the earliest it has been since 1991. It's
latest day ever was May 2nd, which occurred in 2000. Notice anything special
about those dates?

Recently, John Kerry gave a speech in which he claimed Americans are
actually paying more taxes under Bush, despite the tax cuts. He gave
no explanation and provided no data for this claim.

Another interesting fact: Both George Bush and John Kerry are wealthy men.
Bush owns only one home, his ranch in Texas. Kerry owns 4 mansions,
all worth several million dollars. (His ski resort home in Idaho is an old barn
brought over from Europe in pieces. Not your average A-frame).

Bush paid $250,000 in taxes this year; Kerry paid $90,000. Does that
sound right? The man who wants to raise your taxes obviously has figured out
a way to avoid paying his own.

Only 61 days until the election.

That's just now making it to this board? Damn....



I think it's hilariously funny, because not one of those comparisons is based in fact.

Why are you people so hung up on Bill Clinton? I don't believe he is running in this election, though I do realize you need all the resources you can get to make Bush look like he's not an idiot.

PS - You need to get faster at posting the email forwards you get from you daddy. There are only 41 days until the election.

You mean the "idiots" who know how to read and compose proper sentences? You mean the "elitists" who actually made it through college? Don't try to compensate for your own obvious intellectual shortcomings by insulting others who actually care more about the world than they do the pointless shit you spend your time thinking about. And that is not a blow to conservatives or Bush-supporters because there are indeed some intelligent ones in here - you're just not one of them.

Yes, I can tell you're brilliant from these witty replies. Pat yourself on the back, chief.

What do you mean "you hook?" Are you under the impression that I am somehow interested by anything you post? I just try to get an original thought out of you, but it seems more and more like a lost cause every time you try to sound smart. Anyway, if you're really just trying to get under peoples' skin, you really ought to find something to do with your time. Might I suggest that you take a debate class at your highschool, because you're not very good at internet arguing.

Lists like that are good for simple minded people who think in terms of black and white. No surprise it comes from a Bush supporter.
