Of course, what appears on your tax form as a "charitable donation" is
defined by current tax law.  One of the conservative agendas of the Reagan
-Bush era has been to shrink the number of donations which can be 
considered charitable for tax purposes.  

Also remember that a fair portion of Gore's budget for donations would be
earmarked for environmental groups, such as Greenpeace (no longer tax
deductible), the Pirgs, and other Nader-style groups (not tax-deductible).  

All comparing the tax records of Gore and Quayle tells you is that Quayle 
tried to deduct more than Gore, which hardly shows him in a favorable light. 

If he were truly charitable...

Well, in fact Quayle DID misquote Gore's book. He stood there and said
that Gore wanted to give $100 billion to foreign governments for
environmental problems ("it's on page 304, you can look it up").
If you were watching CNN, they did look it up. Not there, Dan.

   More panic.  Did you SEE that Republican polster that PBS got for the
after-the-debate analysis?  The woman almost wet her pants she was so scared. 
It was an okay debate.  I notice King George's positions are evolving.  By the
end of the debate he was calling Clinton a spend and tax liberal instead of a
tax and spend liberal.  Progress, it made Amerika grate :).

   Personally, I'm looking forward to the VP debate.  When Clinton announced
Gore as his running mate some alt.fan.dan-quayl'r opined:

"Gore will rip him a new asshole.  Hopefully somewhere near his buttocks, this
time."

First of all, who said it?  I want to give you credit.  Second, thanks for
giving me such a musical phrase to predict the outcome of said debate, who ever
you are.  One of my students informs me that Danoe will win the debate in a
walk.  I want to bet with him but we can't find an objective person to hold the
money :).

   Is that a college e-mail address you have?  I know American education
is in bad shape, but even many people in foreign countries know that Bush
was a vice-president for eight years before being president.  It was
under President Ronald Reagan, who was elected in the 1980 and 1984 elections.

This is *complete* bullshit.  Congress agreed to Reagan's tax cut plan
in 1981.  Revenues went through the floor.  David Stockman told Reagan
that, if they didn't get commensurate spending cuts, the country would
go in the hole, and bad.  Reagan didn't care.

Congress did exactly what the President wanted.  To assert otherwise is
just another revision of history, just like the "Republicans only held the
Senate for two years" lie.

The country is now $4 trillion in the hole thanks to Borrow and Spend
Republicans.  No one else.

Hope this helps!

QUAYLE WAS RIGHT!@!@!@!@!@ Look what it says on p.304:



.......environmental catastrophe. So here now are some of my solutions
for this problem, which i will enact if I become Vice-President.

1. Declare all automobiles, coal-fired electrical plants, and Republicans
illegal. This will wreck the economy and send us back into the stone age,
which is what we need to do to combat the environmental crisis.

2. Funnel $100 million dollars of tax moneys to projects in any country
BESIDES the US. This plan will be even more effective if we make sure to
give the money to countries which are known to be corrupt and to use US
aid to buy illegal weapons.

3. Make non-recycling of glass and aluminum a Federal Felony, punishable
by up to 2 years in prison. O sure, we may have to realease some violent
criminals to make room in the prisons, but you know how we democrats love
to do that anyway.

4. Ban all baloons. We know that little kids love to play with these things,
but they must be made illegal for us to survive. Parents caught buying their
children a baloon will be punished severly, and doubly so if it is an
evil, two-parent, middle class family that does this.

   Interesting.  The story I saw had some minor congressional figure
who looked like a floridated water conspiracy theorist talking about
it.  Bush is apparently screamingly desperate for issues that don't
reflect badly on him.  I have to wonder why he picked this one, vis:

   Assume Bill Clinton has a Russian Connection,
   Assume that foriegn policy experience is good,
   Realize we won the cold war,
   Realize that the Russians are now tentative friends,

So Bill Clinton is that much better than we thought!  Thank
you GHWB for bringing this to our attention.
