1. Difference between Bush and a Used Car Seller
The difference between Bush and someone selling a used car is that the used car seller knows when they are lying.

2. The GOP is the largest pyramid scheme in our nation.
*, cheney, ashwipe, rummey, wolfie, condi and their corporate cronies are at the platinum level. They are the only one's that profit.

Definition of pyramid scheme:

The disguises, rationalizations and defenses have a similar ring. Perpetrators claim they are uplifting people, setting them free, creating new opportunity, and teaching them a new and better way to live and prosper.

As in all such abuses of the past, huge amounts of money are spread to peddle influence, stave off regulation, and maintain the false portrayal of legitimacy. Critics are vilified and threatened with lawsuits as "anti-business" and "losers."

The element of the pyramid scheme (and the GOP) that has the most in common with past abuses is its appeal to economic justification. Deceptive practices which take money from millions of unwitting people and enrich a small group of promoters and perpetrators are defended as "legitimate business," helping to build the economy, employ people, and provide economic opportunity.
