Hi Doug, Not only did Bush lie about his concern for fiscal discipline, there is an endless litany of lies he told and campaign promises he broke. He promised that he was for small government. But he's foisting the largest growth of government on this nation since WW II, and on a lot flimsier motivation. He promised he was going to be the "education" president. But he's cut program after program and wants to gut public education for the sake of a new breed of profiteers. He promised to protect the environment. But he's tried to ramrod inane development in ANWR, has fast-tracked oil & gas development throughout the Rockies so that oil wells are now mere yards from National Park boundaries in Utah, damaging thriving tourism industries for the sake of his awl patch buddies like Kenny Boy down in Houston. He promised to keep us out of foreign entanglements. But he's on the largest expansion binge of the American empire since Westmoreland, McNamara and LBJ led us into the quagmire of Vietnam. He promised that Social Security was to be strengthened. But he's fleeced the Social Security trust fund of over $1 Trillion to pay for a tax break for his rich buddies and bribers. I could go on. But the record makes it clear that the man simply lied about almost everything he said he stood for when he ran for office. And now he wants us to remain silent because to criticize him is "unpatriotic". He's got a lot of damn nerve, if you ask me. But not an shred of decency. -Ray
