Is there a SINGLE ounce of integrity left in this country?
It's LIE LIE LIE, cheat, cheat cheat, followed by more lies and hoax upon hoax.....and young and old alike think nothing of it.

Runaway brides lie about being kidnapped.

Swift boat fuckers lie beyond belief about a war hero and get rewarded for it.

Workers concoct stories to cover up a huge pile of loot they discover while putting a roof on someone elses home.

Kids cheat their way through school and it doesn't phase them a bit. Why should they think anything's wrong about it, when so many others do it, too?

People out for a big score lie about fingers they planted in their chili.


Lying is contagious, and Bush is responsible for creating an epidemic of it in this country. When El Numero Uno Chimpo Americano sets the stage by constantly LYING to his subjects, it's no small wonder that everyday people do not think twice about doing the same exact thing to "further" themselves.

People all over this country must be saying to themselves, "If the President can lie so goddamn easily, then why can't I?"

It's alarming how lightly LYING, CHEATING, AND HOAXING are taken anymore by average Joe American since the first induction of the Chimp.

I give George W Bush full credit for setting the standard.

4. Similar to abusers
They Will smack you around and then make up some bazaar story as if it is gospel to tell you how you got hurt. It is the same 'day is night', 'up is down' kind of crap that we hear from *co. Many women & survivors of sexual abuse will understand the reference. This malAdministration's policies, foreign & domestic, reek of this predatory mentality.

5. naw, it started earlier than Bush II...look at the Reagan deal with Iran
to hold on to the hostages so that Reagan could win the election. Engineered by Bush Sr.
That's some pretty heavy duty lying to the public, putting the hostages at personal risk for political gain and acting in COOPERATION with a foreign agent AT WAR with the US against the current administration.

Pretty much treason in my book.

9. I watched the Iran Hostage bullshit that Reagan
pulled off. Very slick. A forerunner of what we are seeing today. Actually , the corruption goes much further back than Reagan.This country needs a huge housecleaning.

6. There is very little integrity, and very little shame. But each person is
still responsible for their own actions, regardless of what everyone else is doing.

10. Very little shame there is.This is the other area where Bush sets the tone
for the rest of the population.

It's one thing to lie your ass off, but to do it with such ease and lack of shame, well that's what makes it so easy for anyone to pull it off in everyday life. Very few people seem to have much of a conscience. Fine example this president sets...
