Default Good vs Bad. my first political thread in a while

A friend of the family send this to me the other day, I just now got around to reading it. Interesting though. It goes as follows:



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 very confusing!

______________

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 provided and 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 five
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.

Pass this on. Only 40 days until the election, probably the
most
important
one in our lifetime.

Saddam is being tried by his own people and may be put up for international crimes as well.

He's also still in the area (Undisclosed Location - hmm, I wonder what town that is near )

Great....I am being told Vote for Bush not because he is Bush, but because he is not Kerry. And vice versa.

No, vote for Bush because he's doing a good job. The people who don't like Bush say 'bush is a cowboy, bush is... a meanie head. Vote kerry because he's not bush... but don't look at his voting record in the senate, and don't ask for details on his vietnam service!" there's no factual reasons except they don't like bush.

So true....that was awesome. I think it's funny that when asked why most people are voting for Kerry, it's that he's not Bush, not saying that he'll do a better job or make the country a better place.

Manincamo,

Assuming you actually wrote the content of your original post, you've managed to grossly oversimplify a whole bunch of really complicated things, and even slipped in a few lies of omission. You're now qualified to run for President as a conservative Republican. Congratulations!

Thanks for posting! You bring interesting debate to the table!

pre-war Bush: Weapons of mass destruction! Regime change!

present-day Bush: Liberated people! WMD? What are you talking about?
