I'll simply note that this in no way supports your claim of "Clinton
and Gore KNEW it was a politcal ploy to help the Republicans". Quite
the opposite, in fact.

Again, cite for your original claim, El Chimpo?

:And why only in the northeast, McClod? The main concentration of blue
:states...

From your own cite:

"In the Northeast the impact has been particularly harsh because from
the mid-Atlantic states to New England, many families still rely on
home heating oil-- a source of heating no longer used in the rest of
the country."
-- President W.J. Clinton

:You're clueless...

And yet you're the one who apparently can't even read his own
inappropriate cites for content.
