DU - I Need Your Help With a Project!
I live in a pretty Republican, conservative area, but I've been chipping away at friends and coworkers, trying to get them to see the light and vote for Kerry this November (most voted for the Idiot Son in 2000).

The other day one of my coworkers received an email that supposedly listed promises made by Bill Clinton and then claims that it was Bush, not Clinton who fulfilled all of those promises. I haven't seen it, so I don't know what it says. I suspect that most of the claims are suspect at best, but...

Anyway, that got me thinking. Here where I work, I am known as the master of the computer-based slideshow presentation (think PowerPoint). In addition to "business-related" presentations, I have been known from time to time to create humorous presenations that poke fun at, for example, certain nonsensical management decisions.

So I thought it would be a good idea to make the Mother of All Presentations showing the failures and hypocrisy of the Bush administration. And what I need are so-called "Dueling Quotes", where members of the administration (or even better, a single member) make completely opposing claims, promises, assertions, etc. For example, when Bush said that Osama was his top priority, then later said he wasn't all that concerned about him. Or when Cheney claimed Clarke wasn't in the loop and didn't attend any meetings, then Condi said that Clarke WAS in the loop and attended all the meetings.

Things like that.

I will masterfully weave these dueling quotes -- along with other tidbits about this misadministration and a variety of compelling "artwork" (charts, graphs, photos) relating to the misadministration -- into a presentation that WILL give us votes in November. These are people who voted for Bush four years ago... they're on the fence now. I want to pull them over to our side.

Also, when the presentation is complete, I will make it available to all who want it, so that you will also have another tool in your arsenal to remove the Fraudulent Monkey.

Thanks in advance for your help!

3. How about an historical touch
"The White House has bombed its way around the globe. International respect and trust for America has diminished every time we casually let the bombs fly."

He called the war a quagmire and compared it to Vietnam. He said it would drag on, costing billions of dollars. He accused the president of failing to specify how long our troops would have to stay, and he urged the administration to withdraw them BEFORE THE BODY BAGS START COMING HOME.

5. Also, Any Ideas in General Appreciated
For example, one part of it will be the country song "Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning?", featuring Bush in the classroom reading "The Hungry Caterpillar", Cheney hiding in his Bunker, and Clarke holding down the fort in the situation room.
