Tim,

re: For example if you wanted to say something that is both true and also reflects poorly on Bush you could say that he spends too much money, or that he is fiscally irresponsible, or that he has exercise little control over the growth of the government. However if you said something like "he has allowed government spending to grow faster then any president in American history", I would call you on it and I wouldn't be playing word games, or showing excessive partisanship, or controlling how you can say things. To the best of my knowledge (I don't read every post here) no one on this thread has said that President Bush "has allowed government spending to grow faster then any president in American history" but the statements that I complained about where similar to that statement in that they had some indirect distant connection to the real truth (Bush has after all allowed spending to grow a lot) but where themselves completely false.

After all that semantic crap, can argue with "Bush is a financial disaster"?
