Call out- documented instances in which Bush proven a liar |
|
not just whether one might think he's a liar or where he himself has flip flopped, but instances where his truthfulness can be called into question.
My instance is further down in this list- Iraq/911 Lie. Where he, in the Iraq resolution tied Iraq to 911, but then, on at least 2 occasions later, said specifically that Saddam was not behind 911.
So it's not only a lie for people to believe it, and they don't even agree with what Bush himself said, but he lied about what he himself said.
More????

Yellowcake uranium from Niger. Documents making the assertion proven forged months before. By the way, that is THE most rehearsed speech a president gives.

He doesn't do most of his own lying. However, the White House applied pressure to their own person who was in charge of estimating how much the Medicare bill would cost in order to fool members of his own party into voting for it.

4. A couple simple ones... |

He said he saw the first plane hit the WTC on TV before entering the classroom.
He claimed that he brought about a patients' bill of rights in Texas as a governor, when he in fact vetoed it and then when it got enough votes to become veto-proof, he sent it through without his signature.
He stood in front of Kofi Annan and said that Saddam refused to let the inspectors in, when in fact, inspectors were in Iraq months before we started the war.
He also claimed that he met Ken Lay after becoming governor and that he supported Ann Richards in the first governor race in Texas. In fact, Lay gave some chump change to Richards and much more to Bush.
He has a way of completely misleading without technically lying, as well. When he was making the case for the Iraq war, he said something to the effect of, "I read the IAEA report today that said Saddam was six months away from a nuclear weapon. I don't know what else you need." The implication was that the report was new and that this was an urgent issue. The IAEA had stated something to that effect in a report from 1991, in the aftermath of the first Gulf War. Of course, Bush could have read that 1991 report the morning that he made his statement, so he wasn't technically lying, but it was grossly misleading.
That's the way they operate on just about every policy matter there is. Clear Skies, Healthy Forests, by far the vast majority of my tax cuts go to the bottom, the average family receives over $1,000 in tax relief, No Child Left Behind, using Saddam and 9/11 in the same sentence over and over again to imply the connection without going as far as to say that explicity, and on and on and on.
