"I did not have sex with that woman... Ms. Lewinsky..." Said on public television to the Nation, and said, in different words, under oath in connection with a lawsuit. And this was the leader of the free world? Integrity matters.

The rightwing should be ashamed of themselves. Their lies, greed, power-grabbing and political chicanery have undermined peoples' very trust in government and faith in our system. On one hand, you've got Tommy Franks saying all it would take to turn the US into a police state would be a big terrorist attack. Second, you've got a president who cheated to "win" the election. Third, we're in a fierce war now which we were totally lied to about, and are still being lied to about. Fourth, we have a GOP taken over by corporate special interests, government NOT by the people, NOT for the people. Fifth, the whole world distrusts us thanks to Cheney-Bush. Sixth, we have Bush the frontman, but the real leader is Cheney who is the most heartlessly rightwing leader we have ever had. Seveneth, anyone who dares to criticize this administration gets the character assassination treatment. Therefore free speech is basically not allowed. Today's news is: Media mogul Murdoch backs Bush in US election 2 hours, 3 minutes ago Add Politics - AFP to My Yahoo! SYDNEY (AFP) - Media baron Rupert Murdoch backed George W. Bush to win a second term in this year's US presidential elections, saying US voters backed Bush's efforts in Iraq (news - web sites). AFP/File Photo Murdoch, the Australian-born head of News Corp., said Bush's handling of Iraq and the resurgent US economy would ensure the electorate kept him in the White House. "They're with him on that, completely. He's going to walk it in," Murdoch told Australian commercial radio. "The economy's doing extremely well and there is an international crisis. "You've got to understand, America was attacked. 9-11 changed America -- it was a big moment in history." Murdoch said the Bush administration had responded correctly to the threat of terrorism. "Oh yeah. I mean, they deployed all their resources, everything," he said. Murdoch's News Corp., the world's fifth largest media group, has been credited with the power to make or break governments. His backing of Tony Blair (news - web sites) was believed to a major factor in Britain's Labour Party winning power in 1997. Murdoch, who took US citizenship in 1985, is pushing to move News Corp's official home base to the United States from Australia to make it easier to chase Wall Street investment dollars.
