Judge Greg Mathis Delivers Verdict on Bush
http://newpittsburghcourier.com/?article=7069

Bush won’t, or can’t, tell the truth

by Judge Greg Mathis

excerpt...

"After the last presidential debate in Tempe, I am left wondering why it is so hard for our nation’s commander-in-chief to tell the truth. From domestic issues to war to fiscal policy, Bush either ignores the truth, doesn’t understand the truth or can’t speak the truth. Whatever the reason, none of these truths sit well with me—and they should not with anyone else either. For all sakes and purposes, Bush is the leader of the free world. He must be held accountable for his words and actions, and central to that accountability is the ability to discern, discuss and know the truth. This is the central problem of the Bush presidency and his candidacy: he lied."

(Judge Greg Mathis is chairman of the Rainbow/PUSH-Excel board and a national board member of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.)

1. Good! Maybe some of those "Blacks

3. You hear this BS every election by republicans how they are making

5. I was kinda being sarcastic but
just in case there are some evangelic Black ministers out there who are on a one issue rut with the wedge issue the bushistas are promoting..I thought this would be a real nice anti bush meme.

2. I also heard him once slam him by saying something like
(in response to a defendent or someone saying that they had lost their job) that , thanks to Bush, a whole bunch of people have lost their jobs. He said it in a really cool funny way, tho'.

4. I wonder how much pull the Judge has with other
members of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.

I hope others take heed to his words. We have been saying this all along, good to see a Christian leader finally puts it in black & white.

6. Poor Judge Mathis - he must be one of those reality people.
He hasn't entered the world of created reality. Good for him. Someone is talking about lying.
