17. Bingo
SATAN follows the teachings of Jesus Christ more often than any member of the Bush family :grr:

It's tough to rank Junior's lies when it basically happens every time his lips are moving.

8. lying sack of
shit. the most dangerous kind of person is one who believes his own lies. that means a dedicated life of denial. belief in lies is the definition of psychosis. we are getting lies from all sides now. "look out, incoming" lies are a way of life for politicos, corporate heads, and now by imitation, americans.

7. The UN is "irrelevant"- but we have a mighty Coalition of the Willing!
Too bad that it seems onlty US troops go down, and that this "Coalition" does not seem to be standing in line to give us $$$$

When I see some troops from "New Europe" taking bullets insted of us, I'll believe it...

11. On Jan 20, 2001
when my husband watched a replay of the inauguration (I wouldn't watch it earlier when it was happening, and was somewhat annoyed that he wanted to see it now) and he took the oath of office, I immediately said, "That's his first lie." I didn't intend to be prophetic, but I suppose I was.

15. I think it goes something like this...
I was standing in the elementary school and I was looking up at the TV and I saw that plane hit the first tower and I said "well that is some terrible pilot." or something like that, you get the idea

19. Biggest lie...
That would have to be the most deeply seeded one. Selling himself as "one of us". There's no way he could have gotten (s)elected if he had played the fortunate son for the cameras. Since Jan. 2001, it's been open season on the average American.

23. Listening To Bush Lies Since 1998
Some Bush backers claim he's not a liar, he's just not very bright and doesn't remember things very well. That may be true, but we're sure Bush would not allow such an excuse in his "responsibility era." We're sure Bush would agree that if he's that dumb, he shouldn't be President. Other Bush backers claim that some of his lies are "technically correct" or "tailored to fit the audience," or some such circumlocution. What they're talking about are lies of omission rather than lies of commission. In lies of omission it's what they imply, not what they say. For example, the other evening Bush told Congress and the American people that he was putting a "lock box" on Social Security. Now, it's very clear that Bush wanted us to feel secure in the belief that he was protecting all of our Social Security funds for the future. No question, right? Yet, the very next day when his budget book was released, we learned that Bush told a lie of omission. What he didn't tell Congress and the American people is that he would later take from $.6 to $1 trillion out of that "lock box" to cover his tax cuts. No doubt, Bush lied. He wanted folks to believe something that he knew was not true. Of course, politicians do this all the time. It's second nature. In sum, the thing that really bothers us about Bush's lies is that he is also a hypocrite and pretends he's above lying. As a liar, he reinforces our assumptions about politicians. As a hypocrite, he reinforces our assumptions about his character. --Politex
