You beat me to this. Here are the beginnings of my list:
Laws are for the Little People
Supreme Court writes a "per curiam" 5-4 decision that steals the 2000 election. Bush started a war on knowingly false evidence about WMD, about Iraq-911. HHS withheld Medicare estimates of $130 B from Congress Right wing churches tell people how to vote, want to keep tax exemption. Delay uses Homeland Security to try to find runaway Texas legislators. DeLay to be indicted, GOP changes their own rules to keep him in power.
Only Liberals are Liars
Radicons "are misinformed", "misspeak", "have no recollection of that". Condi Rice "couldn't imagine they would use planes" two months after Genoa G8 air defense panic Cheney "I never met you Senator Edwards", video tapes available instantly.
Promises are nothing but sound bites
Bush: I promise not to put nuclear waste in Nevada I promise to sign the CO2 standards (or whatever)
Ashcroft: I promise to protect civil liberties; does opposite. Porter Goss: I promise not to do X; turns around and does it.
Precedents (upon which our legal system is based) are for patsies
Texas started redistricting in the middle of a ten year census cycle - unprecedented. Bush calls for massive tax cuts in middle of war - unprecedented.
