"The only lie I hear Bush being accused of telling is about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. If he told a lie it was also told by Clinton, Kerry, Edwards, Gore and Uncle Teddy."
http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=12418566&BRD=...Above is the current "company line" being relentlessy fed by the pubs. They seem to be saying that if it's not an "offical" lie, if it's not committing perjury under oath, then it's fine by them.
If they heard that the Iraq war was the last resort, when the whole world knows it was the first resort, so what? It wasn't lying under oath. So what if that war was on a political time-schedule from day one. As was the turnover. Who cares? It wasn't lying under oath about oral sex, or something really bad like that.
All the so-called concern they say they have for getting it right, for Afghani women, it's all baloney of the highest magnitude. Even the world's illiterate are probably aware of this.
These reactionaries just use whatever is convenient at the moment to try and shut everyone up, so they can get back to their "hidden" and "quiet" right-wing agenda as soon as possible. You don't have to read John Dean's book to know this. They really care about nothing, except getting back on schedule as soon as possible, while they run on honor and dignity, and stuff.
It started with "compassionate conservatism." Unknown to many at the time was just how phoney that "winning" theme was. The good news, however, for people who oppose this administration, is how they aren't even trying such a slogan this time around.
The new one is he's the peace president, right? You can't make this stuff up.
