Subj: Re: Can you explain this to me?
Linh,
I can't explain everything that was in that written diatribe but I can tell you that the gist of it all was to stay away from Kerry. In my own mind he is everything that we don't want leading our great nation. He has lied consistently about his relationship with Iraq. The fact that Clinton is sponsoring him is enough to tell me that we don't want Kerry for President! Clinton is a born liar who disgraced this great nation of ours by participating in having his kazoo sucked right in the Oval Office. We consistently hear about morals and how they have deteriorated in our great nation. Believe me that the Republicans did not lead that effort. Stay away from Kerry!
All the best,
Papa San

There just seems to be a different, more relaxed standard of conduct for Democrats than for Republicans ...
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. Le me see; have I got this straight?

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.
Pass this on. Only a few days until the election

Could we try being at least a little accurate, please???
Nothing like setting up a straw man to knock down.
Poetic license should be limited to poems.
Just some examples – NOBODY said bombing the Chinese embassy was good.
And where does that $77 billion figure for Bosnia come from.
And before 2000, Halliburton was #29 in $ value of defense contracts. In 2003, it went to #7.

Dear Sir:
In regard to your feedback, "Poetic license should be limited to poems":
My poems are like a bouquet of flowers.
The contributing pieces of writing from my readers are like a vase.
We are separated, yet we are not.
A bouquet of flowers is always a bouquet of flowers.
A vase too, forever a vase.
Prayerfully yours,
