Stupid freeper email
I got this one from a freeper "friend":

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Before you jump to conclusions read this. and have a great day! Have
you seen the John Kerry commercial in which George Bush pledges
to help Seniors on Medicare and "the very next day imposes a 17%
premium increase - the biggest in history"? That ad is a
stoke of genius on Kerry's part and will surely gain him many votes
among the uninformed.
++++
I found it so amazing that I did some homework on the issue. As
it turns out the 17% increase was not imposed by President Bush but
was
mandated by the "balanced budget agreement" signed
by President
Clinton, voted into law by Senator John Kerry, and was
scheduled to come into effect during the Bush
administration. President Bush had no
authority to reverse what had been voted into law by Senator Kerry
during the Clinton administration.
++++++
Once again Kerry is counting on the ignorance of
the American people. Don't be duped by his mendacity.
++++
Please pass it on !!!


So I responded like this:

Funny how these stupid letters have zero resource links to back them up.
These are chain letters.

How are you going to research this for facts?

"I found it so amazing that I did some homework on the issue."
Oh they did? Really? Where did they get their info? Who was it that did the homework?

Your friend or this person?

or this person:
http://www.heraldtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?Date=20040930&Category=OPINION&ArtNo=409300577

This has about as much credibility as the last ones.
You can stop sending me this trash. I am not voting for those oily/enron/halliburton/corporate whores in the Whitehouse.

1. "Clinton did it"
Do you remember that South Park episode when Butters' first invents some superpowerful alter-ego? But everything they come up with, Homer Simpson of "The Simpsons" had done it first?
Butters friend keeps on chorusing
Simpson's did it!
Simpson's did it!


My husband and I laugh all the time after every Freeper's claim:

Clinton did it!
Clinton did it!

5. Funny- I hear the same voice whenever a RWN blames The Clenis
So glad I'm not the only one.

2. Perhaps
you should have provided some links to refute this guy and support Kerry's original claim...

4. Even if it was mandated by the balanced budget agreement ...
Bush's tax cuts for his rich buddies were the root cause for the increase. So again Bush is to blame. Why can't these assholes connect the dots.

6. I just scanned for "Clinton"
To their credit, it was 12 lines down.
