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...

Ahh, it's 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 government. 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 occurred 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 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 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 $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.

I have figured out who to vote for.... Have you?

Clinton spends 77 billion on war in Serbia - good...

Wrong. Clinton didn't spend anywhere near $77 billion in Yugoslavia and W. has already spent an estimated $200 billion in Iraq.

No mass graves found in Serbia - good...

:wtf

There were many mass graves found in Bosnia..


At least 3,000 Muslims, mostly unarmed men, are believed to have been massacred. Some reports suggest as many as 8,000 were butchered.

Anxious Muslims, meanwhile, painfully wait for word on missing relatives.

"I am hoping he is alive," said Zulija, whose son disappeared from a Bosnian Serb prison in 1992. "But only Allah knows."

So far some 18,000 bodies have been exhumed from more than 300 mass graves throughout Bosnia, most of them Muslims, according to forensic teams. ...

Milosevic not yet convicted - good...

Milosevic is on the short road to conviction. Saddam is no where near even going to trial yet.
