Hope this isn't a dupe, but it has probably been going on for a while:

I'm confused
This was sent to me, but I can't understand it. Maybe you can,
I'm trying to get all this  political stuff straightened out
in my head so I'll know how to vote come  November. Right now, we have
one guy saying one thing. Then the other guy says something else. Who
to believe.  Lemme see; have I got this straight?

Clinton awards Halliburton no-bid contract in Yugoslavia -good...
Bush awards Halliburton no-bid contract in Iraq - bad...
 
Clinton spends 77 billion on war in Serbia - good...
Bush spends 87 billion in Iraq  - bad...

Clinton imposes regime change in Serbia - good...
Bush imposes regime change in Iraq - bad...

Clinton bombs Christian Serbs on  behalf of Muslim Albanian  terrorists-good...
Bush liberates 25 million from a genocidal dictator - bad...

Clinton bombs Chinese embassy - good...
Bush bombs terrorist camps - bad...
   
Clinton commits felonies while in office - good...
Bush lands on aircraft carrier in jumpsuit - bad...

No mass graves found in Serbia - good...
No WMD found Iraq - bad...

Stock market crashes in 2000 under Clinton - good...
Economy on upswing under Bush - bad...
 
Clinton refuses to take custody of Bin Laden - good..
World Trade Centers fall under Bush - bad...
 
Clinton  says Saddam has nukes - good...
Bush says Saddam has nukes - bad...
 
Clinton calls for regime change in Iraq - good...
Bush imposes regime change in Iraq - bad...
   
Terrorist training in Afghanistan under Clinton - good...
Bush destroys training camps in Afghanistan - bad...
     
Milosevic not yet convicted - good...
Saddam turned over for trial -  bad...

Ahh, it's so confusing!
     
Every year an independent tax watchdog  group analyzes the
average tax Burden on Americans, and then calculates the "Tax Freedom
Day".
This is the day after which the money you earn goes to you, not  the
government. This year, tax freedom day was April 11th. That's the earliest  it
has been since 1991.
It's latest day ever was May 2nd, which occurred in 2000.

Notice anything special about those dates?

Recently, John Kerry  gave a speech in which he claimed Americans
are actually paying more taxes under  Bush, despite the tax cuts.

He gave no explanation and provided no data for this  claim.

Another interesting fact: Both George Bush and John Kerry are
wealthy men. Bush owns only one home, his ranch in Texas. Kerry owns 4
mansions, all worth several million dollars. (His ski resort home in
Idaho is an old barn brought over from Europe in pieces. Not your average
A-frame).
     
Bush paid  $250,000 in taxes this year; Kerry paid $90,000.

Does that sound right? The man  who wants to raise your taxes obviously
has figured out a way to avoid paying  his own.

Dude,

You are over complicating things!!

Bush = BAD.

Kerry = Good.

Bush can do nothing good. Even If Bush did what the dims want, they would vilify him for placating.
