Bush Using Straw-Man Arguments in Speeches
Bush Using Straw-Man Arguments in Speeches

By JENNIFER LOVEN, Associated Press Writer Sat Mar 18, 12:52 PM ET

WASHINGTON - "Some look at the challenges in Iraq and conclude that the war is lost and not worth another dime or another day," President Bush said recently.

Another time he said, "Some say that if you're Muslim you can't be free."

"There are some really decent people," the president said earlier this year, "who believe that the federal government ought to be the decider of health care ... for all people."

Of course, hardly anyone in mainstream political debate has made such assertions.

2. Some People, including me, think of him as a Rip-Off Artist
Bush will lie when the truth would sound better. He fabricates most of the stuff he puts into his speeches, and expects us to trust him. :+ :eyes: :boring:

It would be a shame if he got away with it.
