Let this board's sole purpose be to show the lying record of the Bush Administration (or Blair's), and the many examples of misery and malfeasance heaped upon Americans and the rest of the world. Below are categories where the Bush Administration's lies, distortions, omissions and perversions of truth, together with current events and the GOPwinger responses to them, are important for critical thinking.

GOPWINGER DIPLOMACY OR LACK OF DIPLOMACY: "Today I weep for my country. No more is the image of America one of strong, yet benevolent, peacekeeper. We flaunt our superpower status with arrogance. We treat U.N. Security Council members like ingrates who offend our princely dignity by lifting their heads from the carpet. This administration has directed all of the anger, fear, and grief which emerged from the ashes of the twin towers and the twisted metal of the Pentagon towards a tangible villain, one we can see and hate and attack. And villain he is. But, he is the wrong villain. And this is the wrong war." Senator Robert ByrdMarch 19, 2003"

CORPORATE SCANDAL:
"Bush chose Anthony Raimondo, CEO of a manufacturing company in Nebraska, to be the jobs czar, which would have worked out better if Raimondo hadn't just outsourced those 165 jobs to China. The website "Daily Misleader" found a truly impressive convergence between Bush's top campaign contributors and the corporations that have outsourced the most jobs abroad. Bush has gotten $440,000 and the Republican Party has gotten $3.6 million from the corporations that have outsourced the most jobs, including American Express, Bechtel and several computer companies."--Molly Ivins 3/16/04
