Dichotomies of Political Seasons

After receiving an email froma friend today, I realized that one way for us to evaluate the Kerry rhetoric of the debates and the campaign trail is to investigate the differences in policy between George Bush and Bill Clinton.

I have taken excerpts from that email and added them below:
