The <P> tags are not the culprit, the paragraph style you use in the 
lists is the problem.  You need to redefine your paragraph style while 
in HTML Editor so that it has no space after or before the paragraph, 
and your HTML will follow suit. by generating LI items like this:
    <LI><P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in">Bulleted Item</P>

Otherwise, you can do this:
You can then simplify the HTML by deleting the inline style tags and 
putting a <STYLE> block in your <HEAD> block with a CSS class definition 
for the default P style.

e.g.:
    <STYLE TYPE="text/css">
      <!--
        P { margin-bottom: 0pt }
      -->
       </STYLE>
.
.
.
<UL>
    <LI><P>Bullet Text
    <LI><P>Bullet Text
    <LI><P>Bullet Text
</UL>

This will function exactly like you expect it to.
