I got  the following from talk.politics.bush, but  figured some of our
digestified friends may want to see this as  well...  yea, I know it's
(for the most part) preaching to the choir... flames to /dev/null...

======================================================================
O.K.  Here's a quick, not so unbiased, synopsis of the speeches.

Dole:

1)  Notes American Disabilities Act.
                  -Bush wanted to veto it.

2)  Notes Civil Rights Legislation.
                  -Bush wanted to veto it.

3)  Says "Give us a chance."
                  -Dole was *majority* leader under Reagan for
                   six years.  American went from greatest creditor
                   nation to greatest debtor nation.  I don't think
                   my wallet can take another chance.

Film:

1)  Nixon:
2)  Nixon in China:
                  -Reminds me of only President to resign in disgrace.
                  -Reminds me of Chinese prison laborers making Nixon
                   dolls to honor only President to resign in disgrace.
[3) Ford was nowhere to be seen - reb]

Bush:

1)  Americans w/ Diabilities Act:
                  -Bush wanted to veto it.

2)  Clean Air Act:
                  -Bush wanted to veto it.

3)  Road Bill:
                  -Bush wanted to veto it.

4)  Civil Rights Bill:
                  -Bush wanted to veto it.

5)  Free Trade Act:
                  -Bush doesn't want to veto *this* but his job
                   isn't on the line.

6)  Want to make America "military superpower, exporting superpower
    and economic superpower."
                  -I guess one out of three isn't bad if you're
                   Ronald Reagan or George Bush.  It isn't good
                   enough for me.

7)  Government is too big and spends too much.
                  -It's never been bigger and never spent more.
                   Deficit for most recent Bush budget:
                   $400 Billion.  Can't blame Carter for this one.

8)  "A chance to rid our childrens' dreams of nuclear nightmares,
    and I did."
                  -Gorbechev has something to do with this.  By the
                   time you took office, the wheels were in motion.
 

9)  Bill Clinton is "leader of the Arkansas National Guard."
                   -I assume you also mean that Jimmy Carter was more
                    fit to be President in 1980 because
                    Ronald Reagan had only been the leader of
                    the California National Guard.

10) Complains about economic proposals not passed by congress.
                   -7 of 8 proposals passed.  Because bill contained
                    tax hike for the wealthy, Bush vetoed it.

11)  "A rubber check Congress...."
                   -It wasn't until Republicans held the Executive
                    and the Senate that the United States went from
                    the greatest creditor nation on earth to the
                    greatest debtor nation.

12)  "If Congress sends me more than is in my budget request, I
      will veto it fast!"
                   -Latest Bush budget carries a $400 billion
                    deficit.

13)  "Give me a Congress that will give me a line-item veto."
                   -Neither Bush, nor Reagan, ever submitted
                    a balanced budget.

14)  Bush will give taxpayers a check box to dedicate income tax
     to the national debt.
                   -Neither Bush, nor Reagan, ever submitted
                    a balanced budget.   Additionally, this
                    assumes taxpayers can pay their bill when
                    they discover their withholding was changed
                    last year.

Is there no lie that will make a Republican blush?  I guess not.
