political principles and issues.

They have produced no interesting new ideas nor promised to fight for
any important new programs
They have offered no good idea about how to handle the current economic
crisis
They have gone about their campaigns as though they were leading a cult

previous support for two-state solution to Mid East situation
Both have voted numerous times to continue funding the war
Both support or won't oppose nuclear power

HOW CLINTON AND OBAMA ARE DIFFERENT
Clinton would continue the 28 year old Reagan - Bush - Clinton - Bush
era; Obama would probably end it.
While both have misled voters, Clinton has by far the worst record,
witness the cattle futures, Whitewater, travel office and similar
scandals as well as the fact that five of her fundraisers have been
convicted of, or pleaded no contest to, crimes and one fled the country
after being indicted on charges related to raising money.
While they both have had seamy friends, so far only one has surfaced for
Obama - Rezko - as opposed to a lengthy list for Clinton that begins
with three close business partners who ended up in prison.
Obama, unlike Clinton, has never been almost indicted.
Obama, unlike Clinton, has never been mentioned 35 times in a criminal
indictment.

which about half the purchases, many of them seniors, lost their
property.
Obama, unlike Clinton, is not currently being sued in a case involving
an allegedly massive misreporting of campaign contributions.
Obama, unlike Clinton, did not support the appointment of the now
indicted Bernie Kerick to be head of Homeland Security
Obama would be good at international negotiations; foreign leaders
wouldn't know whether to trust Clinton.
Obama is not married to Bill Clinton
Obama has revealed his tax returns; Clinton hasn't
Clinton thinks McCain would be better qualified for the White House than
Obama; Obama would rather have Clinton than McCain
The Clinton administration, according to an HRC ad, wouldn't answer an
emergency White House call until the sixth ring; the Obama
administration, it is implied, would wait for the seventh.
Obama voted against immunity for telecoms' illegal spying on Americans;
Clinton didn't show up for the vote.
Obama has inspired a lot of young and minority voters to get involved in
politics; Clinton has relied upon a traditional and aging constituency.
Obama favored cluster bomb ban in civilian areas; Clinton opposed the
ban
Obama says "everything is on the table" with Social Security. Clinton
seems slightly more supportive of the classic Democratic program
Obama opposed putting heating fuel assistance for low income in stimulus
bill; Clinton supported it
OBAMA ALSO. . .
Promises not to sign a trade bill without environmental and labor
protections.
Helped fight for restoration of habeas corpus at Gitmo.
Aggressively opposed impeachment action against Bush.
Wouldn't have photo taken with San Francisco mayor because he was afraid
it would seem that he supported gay marriage
Supported restricting damage awards in medical malpractices suits
Supported making it harder to file class action suits in state courts
Misled on extent on lobbyist support
Called the late Paul Wellstone "something of a gadfly"
Voted for a business-friendly "tort reform" bill
Voted for a nuclear energy bill that included money for bunker buster
bombs and full funding for Yucca Mountain.
Won't rule out first strike nuclear attack on Iran

Terrorism Prevention Act
Called Pakistan "the right battlefield ... in the war on terrorism."

Sounds sort of like Tony Robbins

Has not revealed his proposed policies in many areas and where he has
they primarily consist of minor alterations in the status quo
Voted against a 30% interest rate cap on credit cards
Opposed the war as a state senator, is less certain as a federal one and
has voted for full funding of it
Wrote critically in his books of the New Deal and the New Left while
praising Bill Clinton,
CLINTON ALSO . . .
Favors healthcare individual mandates that would help insurance
companies and banks but not citizens
Has the most number of foreign lobbyist contributors
Is even more popular with Pentagon contractors than McCain
Is most popular with K Street lobbyists
Is only First Lady to come under criminal investigation
Has received the most funds from oil industry
Has received the most funds from health industry
Gave most number of evasive answers (250) to congressional inquiries
