What is the biggest lie told by Bush
Edited on Mon Mar-01-04 09:35 PM by The Lone Liberal
You would have to be close to brain dead not to know that Bush is a liar… He and his administration have made it a policy to practice lying and deceiving the American people. The question before us then is which was the biggest lie?

That he would serve a full term with Texas Air National Guard

That he didn’t know the financial state of Harkens Oil when he bailed out on the other investors.

That he worked for and signed a Patients Bill of Rights as Governor of Texas

That he was just a “good old boy” rather than the son of one of the most influential families in America

That he was a Compassionate Conservative rather than a Right Wing ideologue

That he was for the working man, when all the while he was pushing anti-labor agendas

That most of his tax cut package went to ordinary Americans rather than the wealth one-percent

That there wasn’t enough scientific evidence for global warm

That he had not made up his mind to invade Iraq when the plans had been formulated years before

That the US was in imminent danger of attack form Iraq

That Iraq had massive stockpile of Weapons of Mass Destruction

That Iraq had reconstituted its nuclear program

That the Iraqi people would welcome us a liberators

That the only companies capable of handling the rebuilding of Iraq was Bechtel and Halliburton

That he fully supported education, as evidenced by No Child Left Behind, when in fact he was cutting education

That he supported the Veterans when in fact he was cutting Veteran Benefits

That he supported the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan when in fact he was cutting benefits

That his tax cuts were intended to jump start the economy when in fact it was pay back to his wealthy supporters.

That 2.6 million jobs would be created in 2004

That with the deployment of a $200 billion, non-tested, Anti-missile Defense the American people were safer

That there was no danger in rolling back the arsenic reduction in drinking water

That he hardly knew Ken Lay

That the reason he didn’t admit to being cited for drunk driving was to protect his daughters

That he was someone who would work with other political views to bring the nation together

That he wants to find out who “outed” Valerie Plame

That the reason he is statements are a little off sometimes is because he is not a “fact checker”

That the reason he needed to land on the carrier Abraham Lincoln was because the helicopter could not fly 30 miles

Lord this is just a partial list, I am tired of typing. But you pick which was the biggest lie listed, or add to the lie list.

9. WMD Iraq/, Al Qaeda/Iraq
These are the biggest, for which thousands have died. The Iraq Invasion is the Original Sin of the Bush II administration. It is the Tell-Tale Heart beating beneath the floorboards of the White House.

It is no coincidence that the David Kay revelations were what FINALLY pierced the media bubble of bubble boy and precipitated the avalanche of negative sentiment. Even though the economy is ultimately what's most important to most people, there is nothing as morally reprehensible as waging an unprovoked war based on lies. Most Americans (not all, unfortunately) don't want to be the next Nazi Germany. Therefore, all economic issues nonwithstanding, it is a mistake for Kerry to let go of WMD and Iraq as a campaign issue.

13. That he is a uniter.
He has done nothing but divide. He has divided the nation, the world and the religious community. Way to Mr. Slice And Dice.
