I'M CONFUSED...
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.

Let me 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 Chinese embassy - good... Bush bombs terrorist camps - bad...

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

Clinton says mass graves in Serbia - good... Entire world says WMD in Iraq - 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!

Yep, mark me down as not voting for Clinton or Bush this election. BTW - that email is so full of holes I am surprised it made it to your inbox all in one piece ;)

Where are the holes?

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

Um, that would not be a hole if Clinton had awarded a contract to an Al Gore company. Remember if you will, Dickie C was not Clinton's VP. So comparing Halliburton no-bid contracts in 2 different administrations was not terribly clever. I am really surprised the composer of the email led off with such a gaff. Made anything after it just ooze with puss...

If we write her in, can she legitimately take office?

Hmm....another possible option!

That was a very misleading list and most of it was incorrect. Whoever compares Kosovo to Iraq is off their rocker.

Threads revolving around faulty comparisons and hearsay - BAD.
