3. Most Excellent! Thank you!

Saved the whole thing as HTML page. The pic of Bush blowing bubble gum is priceless.

The list of Kerry's accomplishments in the Senate completely demolishes Cheney's lie about Kerry's supposed lack of accomplishment.

In the Senate Kerry:

• Leads campaign finance reform
  
• Cosponsors ERA
  
• Chairs Senate sub-committee on Iran-Contra narco-traffic and gun running (no wonder the Reptilicans don't want that mentioned)
  
• Stops Cheney oil tax
  
• Cosponsors Civil Rights Restoration Act
  
• Saves Republican Senator Hecht's life
  
• Cosponsors Family And Medical Leave Act
  
• Works with McCain to normalize relations with Vietnam
  
• Presides over Senate probe that exposes the BCCI scandal
  
• Fights for better pay and benefits for soldiers and veterans
  

and more.

5. AOL puts all the issues on the table:

This is just cut and pasted--AOL has a few things wrong--for example they claim that Bush served in the military :puke:
but it is a handy comparison and shows that Bush is completely wrong on abortion and gay rights. It also indicates some hope that Kerry will curtain gun use and limit the death penalty! We are headed for a more compassionate era!
