That flip flopping thing was the biggest larf that the American public has ever fallen for. The people that arranged that misuse of facts must be laughing good. |

Level up: 32%, 22 Points needed | | I don't see how they could fabricate him actually saying things that were officially documented. Plus...he planned to fix everything, yet had no sensible means of doing so. Even his plans for our contradicted eachother.. I mean I guess thats what those blind American sheep want...they just want someone to tell them what they want to hear. It works both ways though... don't get me wrong.. But, still... It was those who voted against George HW Bush because he promised "no new taxes" but still raised them anyways... So what do they do... they go and elect a democrat... I don't know about you..but those people really confuse me... (I'm not complaining about taxes or campaigning for Bush here...) Just try to reply to my actually statement if you decide to...

If a bill you support has something within it that is not acceptable you have to vote against it even though you support it overall. This was used against him and the American "right" bought it hook, line, and sinker. | |

Level up: 32%, 22 Points needed | | I'm not refering to his voting in congress vs. his policies for the presidency...I was trying to point out he has contradictions in his plan for america... If I remember correctly the democratic platform (and their president) called for a reduction in the size of the military, while at the same time.. claimed we needed more troops. This I don't understand... What about when he kept using the fact that he won medals of honor in Vietnam, which he used to gain credibility amongst vets, yet when trying to win over liberal hippies, he happened to be very proud he threw them away. (Even if they weren't his..like some claim.. the principle is still the same) I don't know..I'm sure there are many more. I just need to move on ..for now.
