I don't think George W. Bush is evil. When he lies, I'm sure he believes he's lying for the good of the American people, that is, people like HIM. Being not too bright, and a decent salesman, Bush first convinces himself that he is not lying, to provide himself with the necessary sincerity to put the sale across.
To those not too hard to convince, like yourself, Bush appears as a "genuine" person, an honest, regular guy. Never mind that it's been revealed he's done this and lied to you over and over, you've BOUGHT that he's a regular guy. Since most people don't have any priciples, it doesn't bother them that Bush doesn't either.
He talks freedom and peace, but delivers fear and war. He talks deficit reduction and fiscal discipline, but delivers massive deficits forever and gigantic off-budget spending programs. I think even HE believes the lies that are coming out of his mouth. You buy it - I don't. |
