Wrong AGAIN! I said MARGIN of victory. Bush's percentage margin was
pathetic. It has nothing to do with a majority. Geez learn to read.

If Clinton is a moron, then Bush is a turnip. Rhodes scholar versus Ivy
League legacy slacker. Self made man versus silver spoon failure.

Clinton gave us a booming economy, peace, budget surplusses, rising
standards of living across all income groups, plenty of jobs, restrained
medical costs, low inflation, the respect of the world, hope for the future,
safety of Social Security, etc, etc, etc.

Bush has given us lies, war, devastation, a badly strained military, death,
debt, falling living standards, zooming medical costs, zooming local taxes,
zooming insurance costs, third world child mortality, an environment under
siege, the contempt of the world, and a hotly divided country. He's been a
real prize.
