Bush just LIED on air
In his hopeless, endless loop about "money in the pockets of the people" he talked about how the "jobless rate is down."

Which is directly contradicted by the headlines in today's papers...new jobless claims are UP and productivity is DOWN.

Lies and the lying liars who tell them.

1. Money with an IOU
If it's our money then it's also our debt. Funny how that's not part of the Republican mantra of fiscal responsibility.

6. When The Going Gets Tough...Friendly South Military...
There's the photo-op...bunnypants avoiding the Army, Air Force and Marines (the cannon fodder he's sending to Iraq), but at a nice, friendly Navy yard.

I can't help notice they have him hoisted way above the crowd (it looks like they're seated), and at a distance and small. This sure doesn't look like a man very comfortable in this venue right now...and this is supposed to be the safest photo-op this regime has.

BTW...notice no jacket or insignia.

22. Well drug dealers ...

Well according to Dubuya, drug dealers are terrorists. If so, the entire nothern alliance are terrorists because the Opium trade is once again blooming where the Taliban had held it in check on religious grounds.

Bush comes from old money that was originally built on the Opium trade. It's no wonder Bush is so gung-ho on the Northern Alliance.

18. This planet is so screwed up
Free nations don't attack others? Well what happens when we democratize the entire world? Will we still need a massive offense industry?

Free nations don't create weapons of mass destruction? I know somebody buys this crap. Or else they wouldn't say it. I know, I know, I know, I know that somebody has to buy this.

This planet is screwed up, and sometimes I wish we all would just nuke the planet. Maybe all the lying would stop then.

Existence is a struggle against itself. We don't need other human beings to make it tougher. It doesn't stop. It's never stopped. How will it ever stop?

America doesn't negotiate with terrorists. We have, do, and will. Aren't we doing deals with Libya? Or Uzbekistan? Or Azerbaijan? It's the biggest lie of all time. Next to America always having been about freedom, justice, and liberty. Even while we were writing the constitution, we were killing a bunch of people for their land, and enslaving an entire continent of people from half way around the world.

I don't even know how to end this message.

19. Bush lied? Are you sure?


A huge amount of money needs to be spent RIDICULING Bush for lying.

The Bush administration did not reveal the identity of a CIA operative but the White House is cooperating with the 9/11 commission since democrats are not good Americans just as the Jews were not good Germans and government spending went down if you do not count the increased government spending but the boxes were labeled "Made in USA" even though the $400 billion decorative medicare turkey was not labeled as $525 billion and Bush's plane was spotted because before Saddam bought the uranium Bush had no plans on his desk to invade Iraq since the aircraft carrier was too far offshore for the Navy to make a large enough banner to describe the WMD we have found in Iraq some of which could hit the US and some of which Saddam was giving to Osama for following Saddam's plans and using Iraqi hijackers on 9/11 but everyone got a tax cut which 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 flowers because Bush misunderstood the intelligence briefing warning of the 9/11 attacks and that is why Laura dropped the dog.

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

Ridiculing Bush over his incessant lying needs to become commonplace.

That's a pretty scathing video. Check his reaction to the question - he looks like a common thief.

23. They lie about even the smallest things
The weird thing about Bushco is that lying is so ingrained and pathological in this administration (and I assume ALL administrations lie about some things) that they even make up little propaganda stories about things of really little significance. An example being the "cute" story about the British Airways jet seeing Air Force One on the way to deliver the Thanksgiving Shrub to Iraq. Really just a little tiny bit of propaganda points to make up a "cute" story like this but it was debunked and had to be subsequently denied. That was when it really struck me that these guys lie about virtually everything. And they've fed us lies for so long and been caught in so many with so little consequence that THEY JUST COULDN'T GIVE A DAMN!
