Letter to the Editor
A lot of politicians are making election year conversions trying to fool us into pretending to be someone different than they really are. With the election a few days away they are singing a different tune. Now they are against the war when last year they supported it. Now they say "We've never been Stay the Course". Republicans like Clay Shaw and Rick Santorum are running political ads about how well they worked with President Clinton (not Bush) when a few years ago they were trying to impeach him. Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't running special elections this year trying to make power grabs. Joe Lieberman is no longer on kissing terms with Bush.
So if your candidate is singing a new tune - beware. Just as sure as gas prices are going up after the election you can bet that their election personality is going to go away just as soon as they sucker you into voting for them yet again. I say, when in doubt, vote them out!

Is Clinton more conservative than Bush? When Clinton was president he made government smaller. Bush made it bigger. Clinton cut taxes on the middle class and had the biggest surplus in history. Bust increased taxes on the middle class and we have the biggest deficit in history. Clinton believed in pay as you go. Bush spends like there is no tomorrow.
Clinton was a highly respected leader. Bush is an embarrassment. When Clinton was president we won the wars in Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, and Kosovo. Under Bush we lost the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Lebanon. When Clinton was president the price of gas was only a dollar. Clinton didn't have the NSA tapping your phones and Clinton didn't have a network of secret torture camps. The difference between Clinton and Bush isn't Liberal vs. Conservative. The difference is success vs. failure.
