    Political Post; someone please help me

    I'm trying to get all this political stuff straightened out in my head so I'll know how to vote. Right now, we have one guy saying one thing, the other guy says something else. Who to believe? Let me see if I have 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 88 billion on war 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 offce = Good
    Bush lands on aircraft carrier in jumpsuit = Bad
    No mass graves found in Serbia = Good
    No WMD in 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 regime change in IRAQ = Bad

    Terrorists training in Afghanistan under Clinton = Good
    Bush destroys training camps = Bad
    Milosevic not yet convicted = Good
    Saddam turned over for trial = Bad

    Its 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 gov't. 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 occured 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 his claim.
    Another interesting fact: Both George Bush and John Kerry are wealthy men. Bush owns 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 250K in taxes this year: Kerry paid $90K.

    Does that sound right? The man who wants to raise your taxes obviously has figured out a way to avoid paying his own.

      Please tell me what you think is bullshit?

      Is it because what he posted is not what you have come to believe from hearing what the media wants to show, or from opinions gathered on an adult webmaster board?

      Im not a Bush supporter, so don't flame me.

            Well either way don't you think you should check facts before posting shit like that? For one thing the cost of the Iraq war SO FAR is $143 billion, not $88 billion, and everything is can be disputed but I'm not even going to waste my time.

              It is bullshit because:

              We entered Serbia to end the GENOCIDE that was going on there. There is no comparison.

              We entered Serbia backed by the UN and supported by the global community.

              We lost 19 American lives in Serbia defending civilians- we've lost over a thousand lives in Iraq defending OIL.

              The cost of Serbia was only a fraction of what we are spending on Iraq.

              Clinton sent warheads into afghanistan, thwarted Al-Queda's 2000 New Years Eve attack, and treated Bin Laden as a threat- Bush was playing golf and ignoring CIA memos until 9-11 happened.
