re: Other lies... Not sure you guy's really have any, I believe they're all corollaries to the above. Well, as just one instance, there was the prescription drug benefit thing. They purposely lied to Congress and the people, lowering the costs by about 50%. The bill passed by one vote... then they came clean. If you want, I can dig up more instances when I have some time.

>> I much more concerned...<< Wow, you had the gall to point out that I misspelled incessant? Why do you choose to ignore my content? >>I much more concerned when the president lies than when AS lies.<< And of course you are not at all concerned by the constant lies by MSM in attacks on a President that they glaringly don't support. AS is symptomatic of the disease that the left has befallen(BDS) I can understand why you think they are unsubstantiated. First of all, real media doesn't put things in myth or fable form, the pablum you know and love. Secondly, admitting that their criticisms are correct would force you to admit that you wrongly voted for the same guy twice. Let's see, Bush lies: WMD's- It doesn't matter to the left that in a major policy speech in 1998, Clinton outlined exactly the same position that President Bush did with regard to Saddam's and WMD's and pointed to the need of a regime change. No, it doesn't matter what Clinton said. First he wasn't president and secondly, he was smart enough not to go to war on supposition. You people can be so dense. You confuse rhetoric with action; speculation with fact. Bush wanted to go to war and he found reasons to make it so. That is not the attributes of a quality leader. Sorry. It doesn't matter, that the Senate, viewing the exact same intelligence as the President, voted overwhelmingly in support of the action in Iraq. The Senate did not want to go to war. At first, they dragged their feet. Then they said they wanted the US to go as a team from the UN. Finally, when Powell lied in Febuary at the UN, and said that we have 'concrete proof' of WMDs and showed all kinds of 'pretty' photos, the Senate capitulated. You b*#$%!&$ds dragged us into a war that can not be won; is killing and maiming thousands of Americans; has encouraged the growth of terrorism and is costing us a small fortune. Instead of being ashamed like a normal human being should be, you insist that you were right to do what you did......not unlike a child who has been caught stealing. The right's unwillingness to accept responsibility for its misadventures is unacceptable. Wake up and smell the coffee before its too late!

" the yellow cake caper" ... during the state of the union address, he claimed to have intelligence about Iraq trying to buy yellow cake from Niger, we know the rest of that story.... “The Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised.” “[Iraq] has aided, trained and harbored terrorists, including operatives of Al Qaeda.” that turned out to be a profetic lie... "I'm a uniter not a divider" and "war is my last resort" ...if I had a penny for every time I heard these phrases... "I'm spending less than Bill Clinton." On Meet the Press Bush claimed that government spending has actually dropped under his tenure...bwaaahhhhh!! Cost of the Medicare Bill. Oops! He only left out 50% of the cost, and then threatened a key insider who wanted to spill the beans "I'm against Nation Building." All during the 2000 campaign, Bush claimmed this one...today he is freedom spreader and nation builder extraordinaire... "by far the vast majority of my tax cuts go to people on the bottom"....that was a good one "I won't run a deficit." During the 2000 campaign, he said that he believed in a balanced budget...course we know he has run up the biggest deficit in the history of the US. The 2004 budget...bush seems to leave off the cost of the iraq war when he figures the budget deficit...you know, the deficit he said he would not run during the 00 campaign. I can probably come up with quite a bit more, but you get the idea by now. Al
