in EVERY area where information is dispersed...ALL of it is propaganda manipulation. Do you actually BELIEVE this presidential race is neck and neck? Surely a little voice inside is saying something different. Well at least some Dems are trying to reveal these lies at the core of Bushco's false facade and rotten foundations:
Treasury to Investigate Press Releases
By JEANNINE AVERSA, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON - The Treasury Department (news - web sites)'s inspector general will review a batch of tax-related press releases recently issued by the agency, which Democrats alleged raised issues of improper politicking.
"What we are going to do is develop the facts and once we know what the facts are we can determine whether there was anything improper," Richard Delmar, counsel in the Treasury Department's Office of Inspector General, said Monday. "We are not going into this with any presumptions," he said.
Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., asked the inspector general's office last week to look into the matter.
The inspector general already has an inquiry under way examining the department's decision last month to analyze tax proposals by John Kerry (news - web sites), the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. Delmar said his office's examination of the tax-related press releases will be part of that inquiry.
Democrats allege that the releases and the analysis of Kerry's tax proposals represent improper use of government resources for political purposes. Federal law restricts the political activities of government employees while on duty.

In the press release case, Rangel, the Kerry campaign and other Democrats, were stirred by a message carried on four of five different releases issued by the department on April 9. It said: "America has a choice: It can continue to grow the economy and create new jobs as the president's policies are doing; or it can raise taxes on American families and small businesses, hurting economic recovery and future job creation."
While the sentiment is a long held position of the Bush administration, it was the first time the department included this message in dark type at the bottom of some its news releases...cont'd
