Bush Dishonesty Takes Center Stage

Excert:

President Bush attacked his opponents today, saying, "If you're going to make an accusation, you ought to back it up with facts."1 But on everything from the economy to national security, this high standard stands in sharp contrast to the president's own behavior.

On Iraq, President Bush said before the war that Iraq "recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa"2 despite the CIA previously warning the White House not to make this factually inaccurate statement 3. He also said there was "no doubt the Iraqi regime continues to possess the most lethal weapons ever devised"4 despite receiving repeated warnings that there was little hard evidence Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction after 19915. He even said that "we found the weapons of mass destruction" when none had been found6.

On economic policy, President Bush said that, with his tax plan, "by far the vast majority of the help goes to the people at the bottom end of the economic ladder."7 In fact, according to Congress' bipartisan Joint Committee on Taxation, households making less than $40,000 - roughly the bottom half of the economic ladder - would receive only 10 percent of Bush's income tax cut.

On the budget, President Bush said, "This nation has got a deficit because we have been through a war."8 He said this two months after his own budget acknowledged that his economic policies and tax cuts for the wealthy - not the war - were what created the largest deficits in American history.9

1. and, btw...

YO! insipid chimp!!!

Kerry didn't make an 'accusation'

that's more projection on your part (not you can understand the concept)

2. good one! exactly right......it was NOT an accusation......AND

he didn't even SAY what they said he said

did he?

I get the DM, and it's usually a high point of the day.

Don't ANY dem gasbaggers get it (more ways than one)?

it KILLS me when these achordata get on the air like they did today, and don't have talking points like those winners from DM at their fingertips

Even Richard Holbrooke could have done better by using the FACTS presented above than he did in response to Wolf today.

they need to Hit that spurious crap back in their accusers' faces FASTER than they spew it out, just as a 90MPH slider comes back in the pitcher's face faster than it comes in, if the batter is on his game.

WISE UP, dems........don't let them get you on the defensive!!
