You know it was Clinton who compromised Paula Jones (among lots of others, from the sounds of things) in the first place. Hillary knows it, you know it, the country knows it, and I know it. It was Clinton who lied to the grand jury about Paula Jones. Hillary knows it, you know it, the American people know it and that includes me. Can't even imagine why I would want to see "the Paula Jones photos". Go home, Party Time, back to the DNC and Al Gore's campaign. He must need you to spread pooie-do-do someplace else. We, and the majority of Americans are simply sick of it. KLP

While Al Gore has a habit of exaggerating his record, these numbers tell us the real truth about his record on education, healthcare and taxes: AL GORE'S EDUCATION PLANS... $10,000... tax deduction that Al Gore says will be received by "all students who want to go to college". $800... tax deduction is the reality. 0... students working their way through college getting a tax credit because they do not pay enough in income taxes. 30,000,000... low-income households get no benefit on Gore's education plan. 0... families making over $20,000 get a benefit. 5,000,000... upper income families are ineligible. 0... deductions or credits for room, board, books, supplies, and travel. 1... education plan that is almost identical to the one that failed in the Clinton White House. AL GORE'S PROGRAM ON HEALTHCARE: $600... access fee per year to obtain prescription drug coverage under the Gore plan. 412... new regulatory mandates created by the Gore Medicare plan. 182... new regulations dealing with prescription drugs alone. 64.5... the age you are when you have your one and only opportunity to buy into a government HMO. 8... year wait for Gore's plan to be implemented. 2... times the price of Bush's plan to create more government bureaucrats THE VICE PRESIDENT Algore ON TAXES: 88... separate tax increases along with 42 new user fees Gore proposed in the 2001 budget. 11%... how much the tax burden has increased over the last 8 years. $500... per child tax credit was never included in previous Clinton/Gore budgets. 50,000,000... taxpayers will not get tax relief under Gore's plan. $1,400... couples will pay in taxes because Gore opposed the Marriage Penalty tax cut. 4.3 cents... tax increase on a gallon of gas because of Gore's tie-breaking vote. Have you ever noticed that when Gore moves up a point or two in the polls the Green Party (Communist Party) is who loses a point or two?

Bush Sprints to Four-Point Lead in Sunday Poll Sunday, October 22, 2000 Republican George W. Bush broke out of the dead heat presidential race, sprinting to a four-point lead over Democrat Al Gore, a new poll showed Sunday. The Reuters/MSNBC daily tracking poll released Sunday showed that with just 16 days left before the Nov. 7 election, Bush leads Gore 45 to 41 percent in a survey of 1,206 likely voters polled Thursday through Sunday by pollster John Zogby. This is the largest Bush lead since the daily survey began on Sept. 29. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus three points. The results show Gore's support slipped by three points in one day and suggest that Bush may be tightening his grip in one of the closest presidential races in decades. With 7 percent of voters remaining undecided, Green Party candidate Ralph Nader polled 5 percent and Reform Party hopeful Pat Buchanan scored just 1 percent. "Gore has a problem," Zogby said. "In addition to not getting his message through, the difference in this race right now is Ralph Nader." "If Gore moves to the left with a populist message, he risks losing ground in the vital center. If he moves to the center he will watch Nader's support increase," Zogby said. Bush is now leading considerably among 18- to 24-year olds, who have been the most volatile sector of the electorate. But the Texan also leads among suburban voters, parents and married voters. Among voters who say they live "paycheck to paycheck," the two candidates are tied. Gore at one time had a huge lead among this group. The candidates continue to divide the nation geographically. Gore led Bush on both the East and West coasts, while Bush was ahead in the South and had cracked open a 13-point margin in the Midwest, a key electoral region experts believe will ultimately decide the election. The poll also showed Bush enjoying greater party support than Gore. Bush has the support of more than 85 percent of Republicans, while Gore is backed by 75 percent of Democrats. The poll showed 13 percent of Democrats are now backing the Texas governor. With just two weeks of campaigning left, the candidates face a public of which 86 percent said they had made up their mind and were unlikely to change their vote. Forty percent said they had definitely ruled out voting for Bush but 43 percent said that about Gore. Bush leads among white voters by 51 percent to 36 percent and is taking 35 percent of the Hispanic vote. While Bush leads among men by 14 percentage points, Gore's lead among women is only four points. In the equally close race for control of the House of Representatives, where Democrats need a net pickup of only seven seats to regain the majority, Republicans have a two-point lead. Reuters and MSNBC will release a new poll every day until the election. foxnews.com
