[CTRL] Does it matter who wins the White House?
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.electnet.org/dsp_essay.cfm?intID=22 Click Here: A HREF="http://www.electnet.org/dsp_essay.cfm?intID=22"Insider Essays/A - Insider Essays Does it matter who wins the White House? by Chuck Baldwin According to a recent survey, a whopping 75% of the American people believe the answer to the above question is no. The Portrait of America poll conducted July 23 reveals that most Americans believe it really doesn't make much difference whether George W. Bush or Al Gore is elected president of the United States this November. They might be right. A study of the positions of Gore and Bush show more similarities than one would expect to find. For instance, both Gore and Bush support U.S. funded UN "peacekeeping" missions. Both men support participation in the WTO by the United States and China. Both Bush and Gore favor continued funding of the IMF and World Bank. They both support granting permanent Most Favored Nation trade status to Communist Red China. They both support the expansion of NATO and supported Clinton's illegal war against Kosovo. In fact, Bush even intervened to block a congressional vote that would have placed a time limit on the U.S. presence in Kosovo. Bush and Gore both support enacting additional gun control laws. The argument on this issue (like most issues) is only one of degree, not direction. Both Bush and Gore support Clinton's "don't ask, don't tell" policy allowing homosexuals to serve in the armed forces. They both favor an increased role for the federal Department of Education. Neither Bush nor Gore wants to abolish the National Endowment for the Arts. In fact, Laura Bush said that one of her top priorities as First Lady would be to expand federal funding for the N.E.A. Neither George W. Bush nor Al Gore has revealed any inclination to get China out of the Panama Canal or to restore an American presence there. Neither man has indicated any interest in protecting our borders from the current onslaught of illegal immigration. Neither man has expressed any desire to abolish Affirmative Action. Both Bush and Gore support the Legal Services Corporation. I could go on, but you get the point. The vast majority of the American people can see for themselves that both major parties are spitting images of each other. Neither party offers the American people a change of direction. Even on fiscal matters, the differences have mostly to do with rhetoric and less to do with reality. While preaching conservatism and tax reduction, Republicans have increased federal spending by over one-third since they took control of congress in 1995. According to a new Cato Institute study, the current 106th Congress (controlled by Republicans in both chambers) "is well on its way to becoming the largest-spending Congress on domestic social programs since the late 1970's." The study's authors, Stephen Slivinski and Stephen Moore, say the reason is the "inability or unwillingness of Republicans to eliminate virtually any government program." According to the study, instead of eliminating 95 social programs, which the GOP promised to do, they have increased federal spending for those programs by a combined 13%. Steep spending increases have been granted to programs ranging from AmeriCorps to Goals 2000. Democrats must be green with envy at how Republicans can be so liberal with our tax dollars and yet enjoy such widespread support among people who profess to be conservative. I must admit; I marvel at this, too. © 1996-2000 ElectNet | This site created and maintained by e-Media - Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam. Em Hotep, Peace Be, All My Relations.

Shrub and the Bush family mafia will have the entire framework of the environmental protection we still have left dismantled in six months. The oil companies will be in the Alaska Wildlife Reserve before that. It wasn't until I read Molly Ivins' "SHRUB," that I realized what a wiley politician Shrub really is. In a state with a weak gornernorship, he managed to annihilate the entire environmental structure in a remarkably short time. I know Gore isn't what I want to be the keeper of the green, but if we can't have Nader, Gore beats Shrub. If only because he's not so efficient in the matter.

[CTRL] Does it matter who wins the White House?
WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Does it matter who wins the White House? By Chuck Baldwin July 28, 2000 According to a recent survey, a whopping 75% of the American people believe the answer to the above question is no. The Portrait of America poll conducted July 23 reveals that most Americans believe it really doesnât make much difference whether George W. Bush or Al Gore is elected president of the United States this November. They might be right. A study of the positions of Gore and Bush show more similarities than one would expect to find. For instance, both Gore and Bush support U.S. funded UN "peacekeeping" missions. Both men support participation in the WTO by the United States and China. Both Bush and Gore favor continued funding of the IMF and World Bank. They both support granting permanent Most Favored Nation trade status to Communist Red China. They both support the expansion of NATO and supported Clintonâs illegal war against Kosovo. In fact, Bush even intervened to block a congressional vote that would have placed a time limit on the U.S. presence in Kosovo. Bush and Gore both support enacting additional gun control laws. The argument on this issue (like most issues) is only one of degree, not direction. Both Bush and Gore support Clintonâs "donât ask, donât tell" policy allowing homosexuals to serve in the armed forces. They both favor an increased role for the federal Department of Education. Neither Bush nor Gore wants to abolish the National Endowment for the Arts. In fact, Laura Bush said that one of her top priorities as First Lady would be to expand federal funding for the N.E.A. Neither George W. Bush nor Al Gore has revealed any inclination to get China out of the Panama Canal or to restore an American presence there.
