A spot of help, if you can spare a few moments

While I always confess to my lurker ways, I do occasionally hop in for a bit of help on politics. At least this time Im not asking a goof question.
Rather, my political ideology class asked for the top five lies from Dubya (minus the whole WMD/Iraqi freedom issue). I need at least ten people's replies, and most people my age arent knowledgeable enough about politics to make any statements, so I come here.
What, in your opinions, are Bush's top five/biggest five lies he's made during his 5 years so far?

Therefore, his 'compassionate conservative' self-identification is pure hogwash.

Pretty useful, for Bush's outright fabrications.

He says the tax cuts he has rammed through help a majority of Americans, when only the top 1% really benefitted.

He says his "Clean Air Act" helps the environment, when it is a bailout for coal burning electrical companies to pollute even more.

He says other countries "hate us for our freedoms" when the Patriot Act and other legislation passed by the GOP dominated Congress has actually taken away Constitutional rights of American citizens.

He says he's a "good old boy" and pretends to be a Texas cowboy. Ask any true Native Texan what they think of that.

His 2004 campaign stressed the need for a Marriage Amendment to bar homosexuals from marrying, but he hasn't done a thing to get this started.

1. Exporting manufacturing and computer programming jobs is good for the eocnomy.
2. Invading Iraq is my last resort.
3. Leave-No-Child-Behind act will improve education.
4. Medicade reform will only cost $400 billion (actual cost $800)
5. We support the troops (repubs take away benefits constantly; rotten food and no water or bad water, no armour for Humvees)
6. Bankruptcy reform - written by banks that charge 10-35%)
7. GDP is up showing the economy is good. (GDP includes military and gov't spending, which has been gigantic)
8. Ascroft has a good heart
9. Clean Skies Act - made them dirtier

Just about everything he says is a lie.

1. That he would engage in a modest foreign policy where the US would not interfere with other nations unless absolutely necessary (per his 2000 debates with Al Gore.) Yet he established a preemptive warfare policy that permits the US to strike other nations first.

2. That he would not use social security funds to pay for government intitiatives - foreign policy or otherwise.

3. That his "No Child Left Behind" initiative would be fully funded. It never has been.

4. That he would immediately fire anyone related to the release of CIA agent Valerie Plame's identity. To this day, Karl Rove has not been fired, in spite of witness testimony to that effect. Bush then changed his statement that he would not fire anyone who was INDICTED in that probe.

5. That he would change the tone of Washington. On every level, Bush has shown that he simply does not live up to his word here, given the vindictive behavior of his administration that pushed Jim Jeffords out of the GOP, the maligning of former administration officials that have spoken up about the White House, and the administration attacks on Richard Clarke and Joseph Wilson.

Hope this helps!

Writer.

He promised to veto McCain-Feingold and then signed it.

He opposed the creation of the 9/11 Commission and said he would veto any legislation creating it and then he took credit for creating it.

He opposed the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and said he would veto any legislation creating it and then he took credit for creating it.

He falsely claimed that the Medicare prescription drug benefit would have a cost of $400 billion when he knew the estimate was actually $550 billion.

He falsely claimed that no one in the White House had anything to do with creating the "Mission Accomplished" banner for the Carrier Costume Party.

Except for the American media the entire world knows that Bush is one of the most compulsive and incessant liars in the history of American politics.

There is no subject so somber, serious, or shallow that Bush will not lie about it. The only other option is not to lie. And that apparently is something Bush can not do.

For example:

Bush says he fell off his bicycle because of the heavy rains and he watched on television on the morning of 9/11 as the first plane hit the first WTC tower and John McCain has an illegitimate Negro daughter and Bush would veto McCain-Feingold and the yawning boy was not there and was not yawning and besides he was standing some place else and Richard Clarke had complete access to Bush and Rice which proves that Clarke was out of the loop which is Clinton's fault but the White House revealed that Clarke briefed the press on background about Bush fighting terrorism which means that unnamed White House sources may not be identified even when Bush wants to and everyone except Bush himself knows where he was during his National Guard service but it was Clinton's fault that Bush did not show up for duty which was after Bush volunteered to go to Viet Nam but before he was no longer required to take a flight physical and about the same time that God ordered him to smite Saddam because the 70 lines of embryonic stem cells and more arsenic in the water and more mercury in the air and the completely safe air in New York City folowing 9/11 prove that the intelligently designed republican science is better than sound science and the Bush administration did not illegally conspire to illegally reveal the identity of a covert CIA operative which resulted in 2 million new jobs being created because democrats support terrorism and are not good Americans just as the Jews were not good Germans which is why Bush said he would veto the creation of both the Department of Homeland Security and the 9/11 Commission but now claims credit for their creation and the White House cooperated with the 9/11 Commission which is why the White House withheld documents and called the republicans on the Commission before Clarke testified and why the White House did not coordinate the attacks on the integrity and bipartisanship of the Commission and why Bush and Cheney negotiated with the Commission that the two of them would testfy one time only but never again since the dental xrays prove that Bush spoke with the CIA director everyday and did not ignore either the repeated warnings of the dangers of al Qaeda and Osama or the August 2001 intelligence briefing specifically warning of the upcoming 9/11 attacks because the United States is a nation with a mission and that mission is to bring freedom to every single person in the world which will cut the deficit in half if you do not count those parts of the deficit which will increase under Bush which is Clinton's fault but the boxes from China were labeled "Made in USA" which resulted in 2.6 million new jobs being created even though the $400 billion Medicare prescription drug decorative turkey was not labeled $550 billion and was passed without bribery or criminal deception and was not criminally promoted by the Bush administration using taxpayers' money for propaganda purposes which proves that government spending under Bush has gone down if you do not count the increased government spending under Bush which is Clinton's fault just as acts of terrorism have decreased since 9/11 if you do not count the increase in the number of acts of terrorism and Bush's plane to Baghdad was spotted because before Saddam bought the uranium and became an "urgent" but not an imminent threat which is Clinton's fault Bush had no plans on his desk to invade Iraq since the invasion was not planned before Bush took office even though it was the subject of his first national security council meeting in February 2001 and in December 2001 when plans for the invasion were being finalized Bush said he was focused on the military operations in Afghanistan and then the Carrier Costume Party was too far offshore for the Navy to make a large enough "Mission Accomplished" banner to describe the WMD we have found in Iraq some of which Saddam was giving to Osama for following Saddam's plans and using Iraqi hijackers on 9/11 which is Clinton's fault but everyone who pays income taxes got a tax cut which created 3 million new jobs and allowed Iraqi oil revenue to pay for the cost of the reconstruction of Iraq after the invasion by a small number of troops who would be greeted with floral program related activities except for the dead and wounded troops who are being brought home secretly which is Clinton's fault since Bush is the one who hugs the mothers and the widows and the wives and the kids and since Bush does not watch television news he did not know about the republican torture pranks occurring in Iraq until he saw the pictures while watching television news and that is why Bush who will use the jawbone of an ass to force OPEC to open the spigots and who is responsible for good economic numbers but not bad economic numbers which are Clinton's fault wrote the poem that he did not write blaming Laura for dropping the dog.

Ridiculing Bush for his compulsive and incessant lying needs to become common.
