His blowing up frogs with firecrackers as a kid, his legacy admission to Yale (Like "legacy" software, "legacy" admissions gives a classy-sounding name to gilding a turd), his legacy-based C average there, using his Daddy's pull to get into the national guard, then failing to show up for a physical exam which involved a drug test, then going AWOL (with legacy protection), his blatant insider trading at Harken (again with the legacy protection of his Daddy's power to end the investigation before the investigators had the evidence) all say that George Bush has no sense of decency.

He lied to start a war, using fantasy tales of weapons of mass destruction, single-purpose aluminum tubes, yellowcake uranium, and mobile bioterrorism labs that he knew were all lies.

When his lies were revealed to be undeniably lies, he made up new lies about why he started the war.

His back-door draft calls back soldiers years after they completed their service and he sends soldiers for third and fourth tours of duty in his personal vendetta war, while denying them body armor and cutting veterans benefits.

While workers have lost ground to inflation from downsizing, outsourcing, and downjobbing, and have gone a decade without an increase in the minimum wage, even while corporate profits and CEO pay zoomed upward, he tied increasing the minimum wage for the poorest to giving more hundreds of billions to his cash trough cuddle buddies among the wealthy.

He gutted agencies and programs that protect Americans, he put a horse show judge in charge of FEMA, he fiddled while New Orleans drowned, and he said that everything would be fine because Trent Lott's second home would get a nice new porch.

His party fatuously postured about the "rule of law" when they impeached a president for consensual sex, but he mocks the constitution and the rule of law and declares himself unitary dictator, bound by no law or constitution, and having the divine right of frat boy kings.

He revels in torture and equates dissent with disloyalty and disagreement with treason and terrorism.

He is a phony good ol' boy, a phony Christian, and a phony compassionate conservative.
