Why does Kerry say that Bush "lives in a fantasy world of spin"?




Above: Does Bush really live in a fantasy world of spin, "a world of pure imagination"?




PURE IMAGINATION LYRICS*

Hold your breath
Make a wish
Count to three

Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of
Pure imagination

Take a look
And you'll see
Into your imagination

We'll begin
With a spin
Traveling in
The world of my creation
What we'll see
Will defy
Explanation

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanta change the world?
There's nothing
To it

There is no
Life I know
To compare with
Pure imagination
Living there
You'll be free
If you truly wish to be

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanta change the world?
There's nothing
To it

There is no
Life I know
To compare with
Pure imagination
Living there
You'll be free
If you truly
Wish to be



Are these the words of Willy Wonka or George W. Bush?

*Maybe it should read poor imagination.

2. Edwards calls Bush team "out of touch with reality"



Democratic vice-presidential candidate John Edwards said President Bush's performance at this week's debates showed how much the current administration is "out of touch with reality."

"What we saw from George Bush last night is that he's out of touch with reality. He does not know what's happening out there in the real world," Edwards said.


Bush Out Of Touch

3. Bush: Deceptive or Delusional?

Bush: Deceptive or Delusional?
By Robert Parry, Consortium
Oct 2, 2004, 14:10


Before a national audience, Bush misrepresented what should now be uncontested facts: that Iraq possessed no stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction; that international sanctions did work; that the inability of U.N. inspectors to find WMDs in Iraq was not because they were incompetent but because there was nothing to find.

Bush’s inability – or unwillingness – to frankly acknowledge these realities remains one of the most troubling aspects in his bid for a second White House term. Either he’s living in a fantasy world where facts are whatever he thinks they are or he has concluded that most American voters are very stupid and will believe whatever he tells them.

During the debate with Sen. John Kerry in Coral Gables, Fla., Bush continued to present a version of reality that has long been discredited. ...

Deceptive or Delusional?
