FW: Who you voting for?

[Iggy McSnurd]

Forwarded from a relative, and at their request I'm sending it along.
(And, from what I've seen, many of these facts are verifiable.)  Of
course, that doesn't mean that the Democrats have been blameless every
time either, but it does make you think.
 
And no, I do not pledge allegiance to any specific party. I only vote
for the person I feel is the most qualified to do the job.  (I think
this time I'll vote for. I dunno. Albus Dumbledore and Minerva
McGonagal.)
 
Now there's a good one.  If you don't feel either candidate (when
election time comes around) can do the job, write in your vote for
Dumbledore and McGonagall.  For one thing, it still casts your vote, and
for another, it shows JKR how much we love her world.  *grin*)

    I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in U.S.

    I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month
period. 
    I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the
U.S. Stock Market. 
    In my first year in office, over 2 million Americans lost their jobs
and 
    that trend continues every month. 
    I'm proud that the members of my cabinet are the 
    richest of any administration in U.S. history. 
    My "poorest millionaire,"  Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker
named after her. 
    I set the record for  most campaign fundraising trips by a U.S.
President. 
    I am the all-time U.S.and world record-holder for receiving the most
corporate 
    campaign donations.

    I presided over the biggest energy crisis in U.S.history and refused
to 
    intervene when corruption involving the oil industry was revealed. 
    I presided over the highest gasoline prices in U.S. history. 
    I changed the U.S. policy to allow convicted criminals to be
    awarded government contracts. 
    I appointed more convicted criminals to administration than any
President in 
    U.S. history. 
    I created the Ministry of Homeland Security, the largest bureaucracy
in the history 
    of the United States government. 
    I've broken more international treaties than any President in U.S.
history. 
    I am the first President in U.S. history to have the United Nations
remove the 
    U.S. from the Human Rights Commission. 
    I withdrew the U.S. from the World Court of Law. 
    I refused to allow inspectors access to U.S. "prisoners of war"
detainees and 
    thereby have refused to abide by the Geneva Convention. 
    I am the first President in history to refuse United Nations
election inspectors 
    (during the 2002 U.S. election).
    After taking off the entire month of August, I presided over the
worst
    security failure in U.S. history. 
    I garnered the most sympathy for the U.S. after the World Trade
Center attacks 
    and less than a year later made the U.S. the most hated country in
the world, 
    the largest failure of any diplomacy in world history. 
   I have set the all-time record for most people worldwide to
simultaneously protest 
   me in public venues (15 million people), shattering the record for
protest against 
   any person in the history of mankind. 
   I am the first President in U.S. history to order an unprovoked,
   preemptive attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation. 
   I did so against the will of the United Nations, the majority of U.S.

   citizens, and the world community. 
   I have cut health care benefits for war veterans
   and support a cut in duty benefits for active duty troops and their 
   families -- in war time. 
   In my State of the Union Address, I lied about our reasons
   for attacking Iraq, then blamed the lies on our British friends. 
   I am the first President in history to have a majority of Europeans
(71%) view 
   my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and security. 
   I am supporting development of a nuclear "Tactical Bunker Buster," a
WMD. 
   have so far failed to fulfill my pledge to bring Osama Bin Laden to 
  justice...
