Social security benefits would have included reduced prices for Viagra.

Nobody would be able to say " I've been Lowinskyd". It would not make any sense, but now everybody knows what it means!

There might have been less people on the dole.

What I really wonder is how would it have been different if Ross Perot was elected president? He's the guy that invented computers, isn't he? And the Internet? Or was it the Intranet? Bet he wouldn't have let Y2k happen. Bet.

The country would be worse. William Jefferson Clinton has TWO "magical" Powerletters in his name, Dole has none. Dole, is full of Dole, or Dolefull. The dictionary defines "dolefull" as LUCKLESS. Wonnerful!

Bob Dole pushes Viagara, B.J. Clinton just "PUSHES!" (Yiddish).

And lastly, but more importantly, some of the Internet Economy's 69% growth last year can be directly LAID at the pen...er... feet of Bill Clinton: after ALL, Monica was "outed" on Internet based Drudge Report. I bought TWO computers just to keep up! And we would have been deprived of a whole year of entertainment and Constitutional Crisis with Dole. NO, Clinton is better!!

No difference.

What if Jesse Jackson had been elected?

I've been voting for Pat Paulsen every election since 1972, and I see no reason to stop now.

Perhaps we wouldn't have dropped cluster bombs on children in Serbia and Kosovo. Maybe we wouldn't have gotten our clock cleaned in Somalia. Maybe children wouldn't have asked what it means when the President masturbates in the Oval Office. And maybe Vince Foster wouldn't have been murdered.

China would not have had our missile technology, among other "gifts" Clinton has given them.

Actually, there's a valid reason not to vote for Pat Paulsen in 2000...

HE'S DEAD!!

No, we'd have used nukes instead.

He would make sure that our submarines would be longer, harder, more full of seamen.

Well, yeah, I know he's dead. And your point is.....?

At least Tinky-Winky won't hold office soon...

-- Randolph (dinosaur@williams-net.com), October 29, 1999.


Here's a start:

We wouldn't have troops in Kosovo.

Your federal taxes would have been cut.

We would have been spared an impeachment trial.

Six-year-old kids wouldn't be asking questions about oral sex.

We'd have a nuclear missle defense system.
