What if bush were caught in a Lie?
Remember what happened last time when the legally elected president was caught in a lie? My god, the world shut down for two years!

And the fact that Clinton told this lie under oath made it the worst lie ever uttered by a human being in history, the constantly lying president, who once caught lying, can never be believed again.

Now, if we could just get some bold person to submit an indictment or subpoena against the man who is currently playing the president, and get him into court and get him to utter one and one lie only, can we get him for being a big fat liar and impeach him?

Even a little insignificant lie, like getting a little on the side maybe, is there anything we can go on a desperate fishing expedition and catch him in a lie on?

1. What if? Can't starting a war based on a lie be considered...a lie?
Not that he's suffered one iota for it - yet.

The media won't call him on them because they weren't about sex. :mad:
Edited because grammar is our friend.

The standard answer to all such problems is JAMES BAKER.

14. Under Oath Is The Difference
That's the difference between Clinton and Dubya, for all we like to make our snide remarks about sex.

But the oath shouldn't matter. I know technically/legally that is the big difference, but morally it shouldn't matter. When the President of the United States stands up in front of the people of this country (and the world, for that matter) and talks to us about going to war, we should be able to trust him to tell the truth, oath or no. For that matter, he's already taken an oath, he took one when he was sworn in to office. He solmenly swore. Has he "faithfully execute(d)" his office? Has he preserved and protected the Constitution of the United States? In my opinion, he has violated his oath of office.

Perhaps there are too many legal technicalities to qualify for impeachment, but at the very least there should be more outrage about Dubya's dishonesty.

16. He has been lying his whole life at least since he said that he
had "no special treatment" to get into the TANG. I joined, with the threat of draft over my head, at about the same time as this weasel Bush. There were "no opening" in the national guard at that time and he is a liar if he says that. Of course texas was much safer having him there to guard the borders from an invasion from the NVA or VC. Got to love the Faux patriot chickenhawks! Oh and don't forget about his never being arrested comment. He was busted here in Maine. These are just two examples.

17. Great subject line. Liked your question. Everyone knows he/
Edited on Sat Sep-23-06 08:57 AM by higher class
they lie and no one steps forward except some private citizens and some law concerned organizations. The mass of citizens are in a stupor and some unbelievable suckers buy the lies, accept the lies, even lie about the lies. How can they lie about the lies? Don't know how, but they do - callers to C-Span, paid and unpaid guests on lying host shows on national and international tv and radio.

We're a lying nation so he is our best leader ever. Right?

But what about American decency?

Hypocrites all - of us.

Utterly fake and disgusting.

Your question deserves a better answer. Our lying :President - lies resulting in thousands of deaths, damaged bodies, minds, immune systems, and destroyed families.

What a contrast to the Clinton lie that affected the sensitive morals of our citizens so drastically.

18. He has been caught in plenty of lies
Edited on Sat Sep-23-06 09:07 AM by buddhamama
He lied his first day on the job. He swore to uphold the Constitution...bwahahaha!
unfortunately, the above example is a matter of interpretation.

the legal problem is whether or not He has lied under oath.


edited for spelling

20. you may have just picked the magic lie-!
he swore not only on the 'bible' but before the nation to support and defend the Constitution.

THAT was (and is) his ultimate responsibility. Now he struts around saying his 'most important' responsibility is to protect the american people- country.

Uh, at the expense of everything our country was founded upon????

So, he can make a dictatorship, disembowel the constitution and no one will give a shit, because at least the 'country' still exists?

to what end?

Sadly the masses only start taking notice when it hurts them personally- in the wallet, losing loved ones, being shamed or humiliated (look at the Chavez indignity crap from our own Dem leadership)-

Wake up America- we're being raped and murdered, held hostage and brainwashed- and the rats continue to run in the cages, for fear of stopping and have to aknowledge the cats who sit licking their lips.
