Help me, I'm confused
This was passed to 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 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...

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.

I'm a diehard conservative republican. I think Klinton was a twat for lying under oath. I fully support President Bush for his decisions.
Although there are some fallacies in this, I think it gets the point across quite clearly.

Very confused, indeed.
But still, you get a +2 for the effort.

"Clinton bombs Christian Serbs on behalf of Muslim Albanian terrorists-good... Bush liberates 25 million from a genocidal dictator - bad..."
Uhh, unless those "Albanian terrorists" were all those women and children forced into concentration camps and murdered then i'm not really sure what you're talking about. And apart from the fact that being Muslim or Christian does not affect your value as a human being, "Ethnic Cleansing" is something pretty degenerate in any case...
"No mass graves found in Serbia - good... "
Ok, this is REALLY confusing cos they did find mass graves in Serbia. Along with local testimony of genocide and atrocities, so... i miss this point. Also, that war was fought in co-operation with the United Nations (that little political body that represents THE REST OF THE FUCKING WORLD) so the justification for the intervention was obviously substantial enough to win support from many disparate elements.
"No WMD found Iraq - bad..."
Are you suggesting this is not bad?
"Economy on upswing under Bush - bad..."
Did you know the Bush Jnr Administration is the first since BEFORE Nixon that has seen a percentage reduction in the total Value and trading power of Wall Street- Here're the stats so you dont have to look for them;
Nixon; +16%
Carter; +26%
Reagan; +39%
Bush Snr; +67%
Clinton; +82%
(Notice the trend here? What do you expect Bush Jnr's to be?)
Bush Jnr; -16%
"World Trade Centers fall under Bush - bad.."
What? This wasn't bad either?
"Milosevic not yet convicted - good..." Milosevic is being convicted by an International court. Just because the whole process isn't over in one hour and starring a beautiful female DA i guess this is out of you "HBO-Politics" appreciation range.
********************
The fact is, i'm still uncertain as to who i WILL vote for this election, but if partisan hacks keep putting up pathetic justifications that can be torn apart so easily (and i blame both sides here) then it really makes the concept of choice really difficult. If someone would put up meaningful information from a non-partisan platform then some of us could make educated decisions, instead of having to wade through the pools of shit the party faithful on both sides continue to stream out...
And yes, Freight Train, you are confused... because you are a teenager, and therefore possibly not sufficiently acquainted with the nuances of modern Intra-National politics...

Giving you the benefit of the doubt as an ignorant bystander,
Clinton says Saddam has nukes - good...
Bush says Saddam has nukes - bad...
Saddam DID have nukes...back in the early 90's.
Clinton commited NO felonies while in office, except telling Monica not to tell on him.
