This is nothing more than a partisan rallying call written by someone who is comparing apples to oranges in order to make some kind of overall point that Bush is better than Clinton was. Aside from the pointlessness of comparing one current candidate to one former office holder, I will address a couple of the points.

Serbia was nothing like Iraq was. In Serbia we acted along with the rest of the world and ousted a dictator who was essentially universally condemned. In Iraq we acted unilaterally and got pledges of support after doing so, and our government justified the war to the public through obfuscation and misdirection.

Clinton's perjury and subsequent impeachment trial is its own thing and in no way parallels the "Mission Accomplished" snafu. But okay, the writer of this spam wants to make the latter seem less bad by comparing it to the (totally unrelated) former.

The stock market crashed in 2000 for a number of reasons, mainly the collapse of the dot-com bubble. Economic events aren't always tied to government. Republicans, what with all of their harping about government being too big, should be all too aware of that.

Ironic how the original post claims Kerry never based his tax cut scenario off of facts, and yet the entire first 3/4ths of the post is...opinions.

Go figure.
